Make a Plan

This skill instructs AI agents on how to create comprehensive implementation plans for new features, refactoring, or bug fixes. The plan should be thorough enough to serve as a blueprint for implementation, with concrete file-level details and quantified complexity estimates.

Planning Philosophy

A good plan is:

• Concrete: Specifies exact files to modify/create, not vague "audit the codebase" steps
• Quantified: Uses lines of code instead of time estimates
• Design-first TDD: Follows strict ordering: Documentation → Tests → Implementation
• Interface-driven: Documents API/interface changes before implementation
• Actionable: Can be directly used to create a GitHub issue with open-issue skill

Development Workflow Order

CRITICAL: All implementation plans MUST follow this strict ordering:
