plan-documentation
Generate structured plan files for large tasks. Use when starting a big feature, refactoring, or multi-phase work. Creates plans/<task>-plan.md with phases, acceptance criteria, and open questions. After each phase, generates completion docs.
Best use case
plan-documentation is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.
Generate structured plan files for large tasks. Use when starting a big feature, refactoring, or multi-phase work. Creates plans/<task>-plan.md with phases, acceptance criteria, and open questions. After each phase, generates completion docs.
Teams using plan-documentation 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.
