Plan

Purpose

The Plan skill breaks a feature into bite-sized tasks (2-5 minutes each) with exact file paths, test strategy, and commit points. This is the starting point for any structured development effort.

Usage

/development:plan <feature>

Example:

/development:plan auth-system

What It Does

1. Clarifies the feature requirements and constraints
2. Explores the codebase to understand existing patterns
3. Breaks work into 2-5 minute tasks, each producing a committable state
4. Defines a test strategy for the feature
5. Writes the plan to .metapowers/development/<feature>/01-plan.md

Output

Creates .metapowers/development/<feature>/01-plan.md containing:

• Goal and architecture summary
• Numbered tasks with files to create/modify
• Step-by-step instructions per task
• Test strategy

Next Step

After planning, proceed to Build to execute the plan.
