update-implementation-plan
Update implementation plan files with new requirements for features, refactoring, or infrastructure changes.
- Generates machine-readable, deterministic plans structured for autonomous execution by AI agents or humans
- Enforces atomic phases with measurable completion criteria, parallel-executable tasks, and explicit file paths and function names
- Requires strict adherence to a mandatory template with front matter, requirements, implementation phases, alternatives, dependencies, affected files, tests, and risk assessment
- Uses standardized identifier prefixes (REQ-, TASK-, GOAL-, etc.) and saves output to
/plan/directory with naming convention[purpose]-[component]-[version].md
Update Implementation Plan
Primary Directive
You are an AI agent tasked with updating the implementation plan file ${file} based on new or updated requirements. Your output must be machine-readable, deterministic, and structured for autonomous execution by other AI systems or humans.
Execution Context
This prompt is designed for AI-to-AI communication and automated processing. All instructions must be interpreted literally and executed systematically without human interpretation or clarification.
Core Requirements
- Generate implementation plans that are fully executable by AI agents or humans
- Use deterministic language with zero ambiguity
- Structure all content for automated parsing and execution
- Ensure complete self-containment with no external dependencies for understanding
Plan Structure Requirements

Generate high-quality Product Requirements Documents (PRDs) for software systems and AI-powered features. Includes executive summaries, user stories, technical specifications, and risk analysis.
17.4Kexcalidraw-diagram-generator
Generate Excalidraw diagrams from natural language descriptions. Use when asked to "create a diagram", "make a flowchart", "visualize a process", "draw a system architecture", "create a mind map", or "generate an Excalidraw file". Supports flowcharts, relationship diagrams, mind maps, and system architecture diagrams. Outputs .excalidraw JSON files that can be opened directly in Excalidraw.
16.4Krefactor
Surgical code refactoring to improve maintainability without changing behavior. Covers extracting functions, renaming variables, breaking down god functions, improving type safety, eliminating code smells, and applying design patterns. Less drastic than repo-rebuilder; use for gradual improvements.
