Writing Plans

joshuadavidthomas/writing-plans

Write self-contained implementation plan files that a fresh, possibly weaker executor can run without the author's context — splitting work into PR-sized plans, with verification gates, STOP conditions, and a memo protocol for design forks. Use when asked to write/create a plan, turn a decided design or ticket into plans, or when another skill hands off plan-writing. Not for deciding what to build or executing plans.
