Writing Plans

Before writing any code, you need a clear plan. This skill helps you create a detailed step-by-step guide for building new features. It breaks down large tasks into small actions that take only a few minutes each. The plan lists every file to change, every test to write, and every command to run. Engineers with zero context can follow it and produce working software. It also checks for missing steps and removes vague placeholders. This makes sure nothing is forgotten and everyone stays on the same page.

Every plan starts with a clear goal, architecture, and tech stack. Then it splits into small tasks like writing a failing test, running it, adding just enough code, and committing. The skill even includes a self-review checklist to catch gaps or errors. Anyone who needs to implement a complex feature will benefit from this structured approach. It saves time and reduces mistakes.
