Planning Agent Skill
>- Builds and stress-tests implementation plans in two modes. Create mode scans code and docs, asks one question at a time with a recommended answer, runs a blindspot pass when the user is new to the area, then writes a plan file. Review mode scores completeness, feasibility, scope, testability, risk, and assumptions, verifies checkable claims, and writes resolutions back until every dimension reaches 5/5. Use when asked to "create a plan", "plan this feature", "I want to build X", "grill me", "think this through", "blindspot pass", "unknown unknowns", "this is new to me", "review my plan", "rubber duck this", "stress test this plan", "is this plan ready", "get this plan to 5/5", "what am I missing", "verify this claim", "prove this plan", "fact-check this plan", or when the user explicitly wants a plan artifact before implementation. For code review use pr-reviewer; for architecture briefs use define-architecture.

Use when receiving code review feedback, before implementing suggestions, especially if feedback seems unclear or technically questionable - requires technical rigor and verification, not performative agreement or blind implementation
Use when completing tasks, implementing major features, or before merging to verify work meets requirements
Execute git commit with conventional commit message analysis, intelligent staging, and message generation. Use when user asks to commit changes, create a git commit, or mentions "/commit". Supports: (1) Auto-detecting type and scope from changes, (2) Generating conventional commit messages from diff, (3) Interactive commit with optional type/scope/description overrides, (4) Intelligent file staging for logical grouping
Comprehensive GitHub code review with AI-powered swarm coordination
Behavioral guidelines to reduce common LLM coding mistakes. Use when writing, reviewing, or refactoring code to avoid overcomplication, make surgical changes, surface assumptions, and define verifiable success criteria.
Use this skill to review code. It supports both local changes (staged or working tree) and remote Pull Requests (by ID or URL). It focuses on correctness, maintainability, and adherence to project standards.
Refactor bloated AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, or similar agent instruction files to follow progressive disclosure principles. Splits monolithic files into organized, linked documentation.
Create high-quality git commits: review/stage intended changes, split into logical commits, and write clear commit messages (including Conventional Commits). Use when the user asks to commit, craft a commit message, stage changes, or split work into multiple commits.
How to use it
Take mblode/planning from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal
use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.
The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the
same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
