Automated summary

Generates a structured Markdown implementation plan with progress tracking and emoji status indicators.

Strengths

  • Produces a clear, modular plan with steps and subtasks
  • Includes visual progress tracking (percentage and emojis)
  • Highlights key architectural decisions

Limitations

  • Requires prior detailed discussion to be relevant
  • Does not generate code or execute the steps
When to use it

When you need to formalize an implementation plan after exploring options with the agent.

When not to use it

If a plan already exists or the task is trivial and doesn't need structuring.

Safe
Quality score88/100

The skill only instructs generation of a markdown plan document with no executable commands, destructive actions, or data exfiltration. It poses no security risk.

How this analysis is made

Examples

Feature Implementation Plan
Based on our discussion about adding dark mode to the app, create a plan document with steps, status emojis, and progress percentage.
Refactoring Plan
Produce a plan for refactoring the authentication module following the decisions we made. Include tasks, subtasks, and status tracking.

Plan Creation Stage

Based on our full exchange, produce a markdown plan document.

Requirements for the plan:

  • Include clear, minimal, concise steps.
  • Track the status of each step using these emojis:
    • 🟩 Done
    • 🟨 In Progress
    • πŸŸ₯ To Do
  • Include dynamic tracking of overall progress percentage (at top).
  • Do NOT add extra scope or unnecessary complexity beyond explicitly clarified details.
  • Steps should be modular, elegant, minimal, and integrate seamlessly within the existing codebase.

Markdown Template:

Overall Progress: 0%

TLDR

Short summary of what we're building and why.

Critical Decisions

Key architectural/implementation choices made during exploration:

  • Decision 1: [choice] - [brief rationale]
  • Decision 2: [choice] - [brief rationale]

Tasks:

  • [ ] πŸŸ₯ Step 1: [Name]

    • [ ] πŸŸ₯ Subtask 1
    • [ ] πŸŸ₯ Subtask 2
  • [ ] πŸŸ₯ Step 2: [Name]

    • [ ] πŸŸ₯ Subtask 1
    • [ ] πŸŸ₯ Subtask 2

...

Again, it's still not time to build yet. Just write the clear plan document. No extra complexity or extra scope beyond what we discussed.

From the file to a first result

The download contains exactly the content displayed on this page. This copy may differ from the latest version in the source repository.

View the source and supporting files

This download contains SKILL.md only. Any scripts, references, templates and dependencies are not included. Get the required files from the source, preserving their directory structure, before continuing.

1. Download the file

Download SKILL.md

From the root of a test project, save the file as .skill-downloads/implementation-plan-creation-ms5lrh79/SKILL.md, or use the command below. This folder is for inspecting the skill before installation.

Command for macOS/Linux or WSL: requires a POSIX shell and curl. On Windows without WSL, use the download button and create the folder manually.

mkdir -p '.skill-downloads/implementation-plan-creation-ms5lrh79' && curl --fail --show-error --location 'https://skills-guides.com/api/skills/implementation-plan-creation-ms5lrh79/download' --output '.skill-downloads/implementation-plan-creation-ms5lrh79/SKILL.md.part' && mv '.skill-downloads/implementation-plan-creation-ms5lrh79/SKILL.md.part' '.skill-downloads/implementation-plan-creation-ms5lrh79/SKILL.md'

2. Check prerequisites

Read SKILL.md before using it. If it references scripts or external services, inspect them and prepare the required access in your test environment.

No recognized prerequisites section in this file. This does not mean it is self-contained: libraries, tools and access requirements may be mentioned elsewhere in the content or source repository.

The platforms on this page are catalog indications. The paths below follow tool documentation; they do not prove this skill has been run in those tools. No minimum tool version is confirmed for this listing.

3. Load the skill

This file does not provide a usable name/description header for this native procedure. It remains available to download and inspect; use the manual method below.

Manual method or another tool: attach SKILL.md to a conversation, or open it in an agent that can read files. Include any required supporting resources. No universal folder is recognized by every tool.

4. Try a first task

Use a short, synthetic input: an API endpoint, a small document or an interface brief. In a new conversation, attach the file or give the agent its path, then adapt this request:

Read .skill-downloads/implementation-plan-creation-ms5lrh79/SKILL.md and apply its instructions to this example: [describe a test input]. Identify any missing files, dependencies or access. Produce the result requested by the skill without inventing data or running unreviewed scripts.

Expected result: output matching the skill instructions, or a precise list of missing prerequisites. A read confirmation alone does not validate a first use. If an external resource is unavailable, that path remains untested.
