plan-gh
Create a detailed development plan and corresponding GitHub issues
Best use case
plan-gh is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.
Create a detailed development plan and corresponding GitHub issues
Teams using plan-gh should expect a more consistent output, faster repeated execution, less prompt rewriting.
When to use this skill
- You want a reusable workflow that can be run more than once with consistent structure.
When not to use this skill
- You only need a quick one-off answer and do not need a reusable workflow.
- You cannot install or maintain the underlying files, dependencies, or repository context.

Create a detailed development plan and corresponding GitHub issues for the project: $ARGUMENTS
Follow these steps:
<!-- recall:begin -->
## Step 0: Prior-art check (MANDATORY)
Before generating issues, recall prior learnings from the global knowledge base so we don't re-learn or re-decide something already captured:
```bash
uv run "{{HOME_TOOL_DIR}}/skills/recall/scripts/recall.py" \
"<QUERY>" \
--limit 5 --format markdown
```
**Query construction for `/plan-gh`**: task scope + `"github issue"` + repo/project name (e.g. `"dashboard rewrite github issue frontend"`).
**What to do with results:**
- If a returned learning names a constraint, anti-pattern, or prior decision directly relevant to the task — surface it to the user BEFORE proceeding with this skill's main flow.
- If nothing relevant returns — proceed silently, no need to mention the check.
- Never block on recall failure. Empty output / non-zero exit is expected when the KB is absent or the subprocess errors — treat it as "no prior art found", not as an error.
<!-- recall:end -->
1. **Read the specification**:
- Look for the spec file specified in $ARGUMENTS
- If no file specified, look for `spec.md` or ask for the specification file path
- Understand the project requirements, goals, and technical constraints
2. **Draft a comprehensive development blueprint**:
- Break down the project into major phases and milestones
- Identify dependencies between different components
- Consider technical architecture and implementation approach
- Plan for incremental, iterative development
- Ensure each step builds safely on the previous step
3. **Create small, manageable development chunks**:
- Review the initial breakdown and further decompose large tasks
- Ensure steps are small enough to implement safely
- Make sure steps are large enough to provide meaningful progress
- Iterate until steps are appropriately sized for the project complexity
4. **Generate implementation prompts**:
- Create detailed prompts for code-generation LLM for each step
- Prioritize best practices and incremental progress
- Ensure no big jumps in complexity between steps
- Make sure each prompt builds on previous work
- End with integration steps to wire everything together
- Avoid creating orphaned or hanging code
5. **Create GitHub issues for each step**:
- Use `gh issue create` for each development step
- Apply appropriate labels: `epic`, `feature`, `task`
- Include detailed acceptance criteria and implementation notes
- Set up dependencies between issues using GitHub's linking
- Assign priority levels and effort estimates
6. **Generate comprehensive documentation**:
- Save the development plan as `development-plan.md`
- Create `implementation-prompts.md` with LLM prompts for each step
- Generate `project-roadmap.md` showing timeline and milestones
- Include links to all created GitHub issues
Remember: Each step should be independently implementable while building toward the complete solution.Related Skills

token-usage
Show Claude Code token usage across sessions — daily, weekly, per-project, and per-session breakdowns. Parses {{HOME_TOOL_DIR}}/projects/**/*.jsonl for consumption data. Use when the user asks about token usage, costs, how many tokens were used, session statistics, or wants a usage report.
tmux-status
Show status of all tmux sessions including dev environments, spawned agents, and running processes
tmux-monitor
Monitor and report status of all tmux sessions including dev environments, spawned agents, and running processes. Uses tmuxwatch for enhanced visibility.
tmux-message
Reliable peer-to-peer message delivery to other Claude Code instances via tmux send-keys. Use as a fallback when claude-peers MCP send_message fails to surface in the receiver's inbox (delivered server-side but receiver never picks it up — observed behaviour). Also use when sending a directive to a known Claude Code TUI session by tmux session name or fuzzy hint, or when injecting a multi-line directive into a peer's prompt and submitting it. Trigger phrases — "claude-peers fallback", "tmux send-keys", "send to peer via tmux", "inject directive", "deliver to nanoclaw/hermes peer", "peer message". Tmux-only — won't reach peers running outside tmux.
test-driven-development
Use when implementing any feature or bugfix, before writing implementation code. Enforces RED-GREEN-REFACTOR cycle with test-first approach.
