Implementation Plan Creation Workflow

Quick start

"Run the plan skill to create a task list based on the design document at [path/to/design.md]."

Workflows

1. Task List Generation

• Prerequisite: Ensure a design document exists and has been approved.
• Task: Convert the feature design into a series of prompts for a code-generation LLM that will implement each step in a test-driven manner.
• Core Directives:
• Prioritize best practices, incremental progress, and early testing.
• Ensure no big jumps in complexity at any stage.
• Make sure each prompt builds on the previous ones and ends with wiring things together.
• Avoid hanging or orphaned code not integrated into a previous step.
• Focus ONLY on tasks that involve writing, modifying, or testing code. Avoid deployment, metrics, training, etc.
• Constraints:
• Format the plan as a numbered checkbox list with a maximum of two levels of hierarchy (e.g., 1., 1.1). Follow the format in template.md.
• Include a clear objective for each task.
• Add specific references to requirements from the requirements document (granular sub-requirements).
• Ensure each step is concrete, specifies files/components, and is actionable by a coding agent.
• Sequence steps to validate core functionality early through code.

2. Iterative Refinement

• Output: Write the tasks document to tasks.md.
• Feedback Loop:
• Ask the user: "Do the tasks look good?"
• Make modifications if the user requests changes or does not explicitly approve.
• Offer to return to previous steps (requirements or design) if gaps are identified.
• Continue the feedback-revision cycle until explicit approval is received.
