Manual Planning

Produce Markdown plans that another coding agent can execute without reinterpreting the original conversation. A plan is an execution ledger, not a proposal: it has to stay accurate while it is being worked through, and it has to be readable cold by a session that was not there when it was written.

Anything that can be checked mechanically is checked by a script. Do not hand-verify what check-plan.py verifies.

Scripts

Standard library Python 3 only — no install step. Run with python3 or uv run.

# Create a plan: correct name, correct directory, version stamped from this SKILL.md
python3 scripts/new-plan.py "<title>" [--milestoned] [--dir docs/plans]
                                      [--exclude-locally | --tracked] [--force]
