Our review

This skill generates a structured Markdown plan document with clear steps, status emojis, and progress tracking.

Strengths

  • Emojis provide clear task status at a glance
  • Includes automatic progress percentage calculation
  • Encourages explicit critical decisions
  • Minimal and reproducible template

Limitations

  • Requires prior exchange to capture context
  • Progress tracking is not dynamic without manual updates
  • May become verbose for very complex projects
When to use it

When breaking down a feature or change into actionable steps before development begins.

When not to use it

For trivial changes or when the plan is already obvious without documentation.

Examples

Feature implementation plan
Based on our discussion about adding user authentication, create a detailed plan with progress tracking.
Refactoring plan
Given our exchange on refactoring the payment module, produce a step-by-step plan with status emojis.
Bug fix plan
From our conversation about the login bug, generate a plan document outlining the fix steps and critical decisions.

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.

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.
