Java Design Plan Creation for Cursor Plan Mode

Guide the process of creating a structured plan using Cursor Plan mode. This is an interactive SKILL. Plans follow a consistent section structure suitable for Java feature implementation, refactoring, or API design.

What is covered in this Skill?

• Plan mode workflow: enter Plan mode, gather context, draft plan, iterate
• YAML frontmatter: name, overview, todos, isProject
• Required sections: Requirements Summary, Approach (with Mermaid), Task List, Execution Instructions, File Checklist, Notes
• London Style (outside-in) TDD pattern
• Plan execution discipline: update Status after each task before advancing
• Plan storage: ask user for preferred folder and filename convention before creating artifact

Constraints

Gather context before drafting. Include Execution Instructions in every plan. Never advance to next task without updating the plan's Status column.
