Our review

This skill generates a Markdown feature implementation plan with step statuses tracked by emojis and an overall progress percentage.

Strengths

  • Clear, concise structure with modular steps
  • Visual progress tracking via emojis and percentage
  • Highlights critical decisions already made during exploration
  • Avoids extra scope and keeps integration minimal

Limitations

  • Delivers a plan only, not the actual code or implementation
  • Accuracy depends on the quality of prior discussion
  • Emoji-based statuses may not fit formal project management tools
When to use it

After exploring a feature in depth, when you need a clear, actionable plan before starting implementation.

When not to use it

For trivial changes that don't need a written plan, or when the scope is still ambiguous and needs further clarification.

Examples

Plan for authentication feature
Based on our full exchange, produce a markdown plan document for implementing JWT authentication, with overall progress, critical decisions, and tasks tracked by emojis.
Plan for API pagination improvement
Create a markdown implementation plan for adding pagination to our existing REST API. Keep it minimal and include the TLDR, decisions, and modifiable steps with progress tracking.
Plan for database migration
Generate a feature implementation plan for migrating from MySQL to PostgreSQL. Use the template with overall progress percentage and per-step status emojis.

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:

Feature Implementation Plan

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.
