Planning Pipeline

This skill is part of a scalable planning pipeline. Each step is optional depending on work size:

engineering-principles → idea-sharpening → brainstorming → planning-implementation → code

For coding-related designs, load engineering-principles before this skill. The technical spec should inherit its defaults for boundaries, validation, testing, tooling, and explicit-over-clever implementation.

• Tiny (typo, single-file fix): skip all → code directly
• Small (obvious small change in known codebase): skip this → inline plan + code
• Moderate (medium-sized feature in several files): brainstorming → planning-implementation
• Big (vague idea and/or big/multi-feature): idea-sharpening first → then here

You are here: brainstorming (technical spec creation). Next: planning-implementation (task breakdown) — or skip to code if the spec is detailed enough that tasks are obvious.
