Purpose

Create or update a snapshot management plan for a project, incorporating current task statuses, meeting outcomes, and priorities. Choose the right plan type for the situation.

This skill is for project planning artifacts. If the user needs a cross-project managerial week with owner map, waiting list, and live weekly control surface, use .vaibe/skills/weekly-operating-sheet/SKILL.md instead.

When to use

• Start of a new sprint → sprint plan
• Strategic review, new phase, major changes → full plan
• Before important meeting, milestone, decision point → checkpoint
• User triggers /plan-update
• User requests to save/persist a generated plan or work list into the project → save to Планы/, not as a task in Задачи/

When NOT to use

• User wants a secretary-style weekly operating sheet across multiple projects
• User explicitly asks for owner map / waiting list / live weekly management table
• The artifact is for the user's own weekly control rhythm rather than one project's execution plan

Plan types

Three templates available. Reference: База знаний/Планы — справочник обозначений.md.

Type	Template	When	Size
Sprint plan	База знаний/Образец плана — спринт.md	Weekly planning, "what to do now?"	80-120 lines
Full plan	База знаний/Образец плана — полный.md	Phase start, strategy review, major changes	150-250 lines
Checkpoint	База знаний/Образец плана — точка сборки.md	Pre-meeting, milestone, decision point	100-150 lines

Separate artifact for managerial work:

• Operating sheet → .vaibe/skills/weekly-operating-sheet/SKILL.md + База знаний/Образец плана — управленческая неделя.md

Decision tree:

Need to make decisions / prepare for a meeting?  → Checkpoint
Need full project picture (new phase, strategy)?  → Full plan
Just planning the week's work?                    → Sprint plan
Need a cross-project managerial control sheet?    → weekly-operating-sheet.md

Inputs needed

• Проекты/{PROJECT}/README.md — goals, team, context
• Проекты/{PROJECT}/Задачи/*/task.md — canonical task cards
• Проекты/{PROJECT}/Задачи/*/results/ — results presence
• Проекты/{PROJECT}/Встречи/*/tasks.md, summary.md — meeting outcomes
• Проекты/{PROJECT}/Планы/ — previous plan versions
• Selected template from База знаний/Образец плана — {тип}.md

Procedure

Step 1 — Determine project

• If specified → proceed
• If not → show project list, ask user to select

STOP — wait for selection.

Step 2 — Select plan type

Analyze context to recommend a type:

• User's request mentions meeting/decisions/review → Checkpoint
• User's request mentions strategy/phase/overview → Full plan
• Routine update, weekly planning → Sprint plan
• Cross-project week, owner map, waiting list, secretary-style control → use .vaibe/skills/weekly-operating-sheet/SKILL.md instead
• If unclear → ask user to choose

Read the selected template file.

Step 3 — Check existing plans

• Scan Проекты/{PROJECT}/Планы/
• Find latest plan by version number
• No plans → N=1 (first plan); existing → N+1
• Plan type can change between versions

Step 4 — Gather data

4a. Project metadata

• Goals, team, context from README.md

4b. Task inventory

• All tasks from Задачи/*/task.md
• Check results/ for versioned subdirectories (v1/, v2/, ...)
• Note version count and latest version for each task

4c. Meeting outcomes

• Tasks and decisions from Встречи/*/tasks.md, summary.md

4d. Previous plan comparison

• Load latest plan for status comparison
• Find new tasks (in Задачи/ but not in plan)
• Find missing tasks (in plan but not in Задачи/ — mark "⚠️ requires check")

4e. Integrity pre-flight (G4 — uniqueness of task numbers)

• Before generating the plan, verify task-number uniqueness within the project (invariant G4): scan Задачи/*/ dir names and confirm no two tasks share the same {NUM}.
• Fast check: ls -1 Проекты/{PROJECT}/Задачи | sed -E 's/^([0-9]+)-.*/\1/' | sort | uniq -d — any output = duplicate numbers; or rely on uv run --project .vaibe/scripts/doctor .vaibe/scripts/doctor/main.py diagnose (reports [G4] findings).
• If duplicates found → surface them in the plan as ⚠️ requires check (blockers/reminders section) with both conflicting task titles, and propose a renumber fix. Do not silently pick one. Empirically (batch run 01.06.2026) ~30% of active projects carried a G4 duplicate that had gone unnoticed — the check pays for itself.

Step 5 — Classify and prioritize

Statuses, priorities, AI capability levels defined in База знаний/Планы — справочник обозначений.md. Reference that file; do not duplicate the full legend in the plan.

Step 6 — Generate plan

Follow the selected template. Key UX principles for all types — "Inverted Pyramid" (most important first, details last):

1. TL;DR first — 3-5 lines at the top: phase, focus, (blocker — conditional), progress. A person reading only this block should understand the current state. The «Главный блокер» line is included only when a LIVE blocker exists. If there are none, omit the line entirely — do not write «нет блокеров» and do not recap resolved decisions here. TL;DR must be scanned in seconds; a line that only says «всё хорошо» is noise, and settled decisions belong in the log at the bottom, not in the fastest-read block.
2. Blockers & decisions second — immediately after TL;DR. What must be resolved before or at the start of work. This is what a manager reads first. This section holds only LIVE (open) items. When the user resolves a blocker/decision, do not leave it in place with a ✅ checkbox / «Срок: закрыто» — that keeps a settled item in the highest-attention slot and dilutes focus. Move it out into a resolution log (e.g. a «✅ Снято / Принятые решения» block lower down, or the «Изменения с прошлого плана» section), carrying the decision text so nothing is lost (Law 5: additivity). If every blocker is resolved, collapse the section to a bare «Открытых блокеров нет» (or omit the section per the template) — nothing else. No pointer to the log, no re-summary of the resolved decisions — the log sits in the same plan and is self-evident; both a «см. лог ниже» pointer and a «решили X и Y» recap just refill the high-attention slot with settled content. The whole point is to free that slot. Same rule applies to the Open questions table — answered questions move to the resolved block, not a checkbox in place.
3. Sprint focus by baskets — group tasks into thematic baskets (e.g. "Billing / Infrastructure / Notifications" or "Backend / Frontend / ML") rather than flat priority lists. Baskets emerge from sprint planning context, not from a rigid template. Include a "Cross-cutting tasks" basket for items spanning multiple baskets. Baskets hold only actionable tasks — open / in-progress. When a task completes (mid-sprint or via the user closing it), do not leave it in the basket with a ✅ — a done item in the focus zone makes it harder to see what's still open. Move it out to the «Изменения с прошлого плана» / «Итоги (что сделано)» log, carrying the task link so the progress is recorded (Law 5: additivity). Same logic as blockers (item 2): the high-attention sections carry live items, the logs carry settled ones.
   • Applies to a one-line «just close this task» actualization too — this is the recurring trap. When the user says «актуализируй план, задача N закрыта», the move is delete N's row from its basket and (if not already there) add it to the log — not flip the row's status cell to ✅. A targeted edit is not an exemption: «закрыть задачу в плане» = «вынести из фокуса в лог», always. If you are editing a plan by hand without re-running the full skill, you still owe this rule. Regression repeated three times on the same plan (vAIbe-OS v12, 12.06.2026) — the rule existed in this skill but was bypassed each time during a «quick» manual edit that never loaded the skill.
   • Self-enforcing guard (root-cause fix for the bypass). The failure mode is structural: a one-line manual plan edit does not load .vaibe/skills/plan-update/SKILL.md, so the rule never reaches the agent. Therefore the rule must travel with the artifact. Every generated plan must embed an HTML-comment guard directly above the «Фокус спринта» baskets restating this rule (the sprint template База знаний/Образец плана — спринт.md carries it; keep it in the generated file — HTML comments are invisible in render but present when the agent Reads the file before editing). When you actualize an existing plan that lacks this guard, add it. Because the agent always Reads a file before Editing it, the guard lands in context exactly at the moment the mistake would be made — independent of whether the skill was loaded.
4. Open questions aggregated — collect unresolved questions from all recent meetings into a single table with source attribution (which meeting or plan raised it) and owner (who should answer).
5. Changes section — what changed since last plan, prominently placed but after the actionable content.
6. Compact archive — previous sprint results as bullet-list, not detailed tables. Goal: acknowledge what was done without distracting from the current sprint.
7. Backlog at the bottom — medium/long-term tasks in a compact table. Context only, not actionable.
8. Reference legend — link to Планы — справочник обозначений.md, never inline copy. Do not duplicate the legend in the plan body.
9. Roadmap visual — ASCII "ВЫ ЗДЕСЬ" for full plans and checkpoints (not required for sprint plans).
10. Task references as links — when mentioning a task by number, wrap the id in a markdown link to its task.md. Path is relative from Проекты/{PROJECT}/Планы/{file}.md: ../Задачи/{NUM}-{TITLE}/task.md. Формат: [NNN](<../Задачи/{NUM}-{TITLE}/task.md>) — {Название}. Правила:

• URL in CommonMark angle-bracket syntax <...> with raw spaces. Not %20 — Cursor doesn't decode %20 in click-to-open.
• Link text — digits only [NNN], no backticks [NNN]. Cursor has a parser bug: link text from a single code-span + URL in <...> breaks click-to-open (it includes > in the file name). See the anti-pattern below.
• Leave Cyrillic, quotes, dashes, and . in paths as is.
• Example: [014](<../Задачи/014-Раздел «Команда» — фото и описания/task.md>) — Раздел «Команда».
• Apply to: focus, backlog, completed, hold, metrics, week plan, reminders. The roadmap ASCII block is the only place where bare numbers are acceptable (link syntax breaks the box-drawing alignment).

11. Priority by importance, not urgency (Eisenhower). Order the blockers/decisions and focus baskets by strategic importance, not by which deadline is nearest. Before fixing #1, anchor it to the project's README goal (e.g. for a revenue-stage product the #1 is almost always first revenue / first paying client). A near-term external deadline (grant submission, event, demo day) is urgent, but it is usually a means, not the goal — place it as a time-critical item subordinate to the strategic #1. Distinguish root cause vs symptom: «нет выручки для гранта» is a symptom; «не запущены продажи» is the root. This trap is most acute for checkpoint plans, which are triggered by a deadline and therefore tempt the author to crown that deadline as the priority. Sanity check: would the stated #1 still be #1 if the deadline did not exist? If yes — correct; if no — re-rank.
12. Every stated #1 priority must be a tracked task. If the plan declares a top priority (e.g. «закрыть первый платный проект») that has no task card in Задачи/, flag it ⚠️ and recommend creating one — an untracked priority silently falls off the board.

Step 7 — Save

File name: План - {N} - {DD.MM.YYYY} - {TITLE}.md Path: Проекты/{PROJECT}/Планы/

Show plan to user and confirm before saving.

Batch mode (multiple projects)

When the user asks to update plans for many projects at once (e.g. «обнови планы по всем проектам с активностью за месяц»), run a batch flow instead of repeating Step 1 per project:

1. Compute the active set. Determine which projects qualify (e.g. files touched in last N days). Exclude build/dependency noise — count only meaningful vault files (*.md, *.csv outside node_modules/, .venv/, .nuxt/, dist/). Show the candidate list with an activity signal so the user can trim it.
2. Confirm scope + process ONCE via structured options: which set of projects, and how to confirm saving. Because confirming N plans one-by-one is impractical, offer an explicit batch save option (generate and save all without per-plan stops). This is the only sanctioned way to waive the per-plan confirmation — never assume it.
3. Parallelize. Run one subagent per project, each executing this skill end-to-end (Steps 2–7) for its single project and saving its versioned plan. Each subagent must receive the link-formatting rules (Step 6, item 10) verbatim — they are the most common regression.
4. Synthesize + verify. After all complete, run a cross-file lint of the new plans for known anti-patterns: %20 in links, backticks-only link text, absolute paths inside link targets, and G4 duplicates surfaced by subagents. Report the roll-up to the user.

Constraints: the «по умолчанию подтверждай сохранение» rule (AGENTS.md) still holds — batch mode only skips per-plan confirmation when the user explicitly picks the batch option. Plan type per project is still chosen per-context (auto), not forced uniform.

Output format

• Проекты/{PROJECT}/Планы/План - {N} - {DD.MM.YYYY} - {TITLE}.md
• Changes relative to previous version highlighted
• Link to legend reference, not inline copy

Quality bar

• Project selected with user confirmation
• Plan type appropriate for the situation
• TL;DR section present with phase, focus, blocker, progress
• All tasks from Задачи/ reflected in plan
• New tasks (since last plan) explicitly noted
• Missing tasks marked with warning
• Priorities assigned per criteria
• Blockers/baskets ranked by importance, not nearest deadline — #1 anchored to README goal; urgent-but-non-strategic deadlines placed subordinate (Eisenhower). Sanity check applied: «would #1 still be #1 without the deadline?»
• Stated #1 priority has a task card (or is flagged ⚠️ to create one)
• «Решения и блокеры» and «Открытые вопросы» contain only open items — resolved ones moved to the decision log, not left in place with a ✅ checkmark (Step 6, item 2)
• Sprint focus baskets contain only open / in-progress tasks — completed ones moved to «Изменения / Итоги», not left with a ✅ in the basket (Step 6, item 3)
• Legend referenced, not duplicated
• Previous plans not modified (new version only)
• Every 3-digit task number in the plan is wrapped in a markdown link to task.md (exception — the ASCII roadmap). Quick check before saving: grep -nE '\b[0-9]{3}\b' <plan.md> outside the roadmap block — every match must be inside [...](...).

Related knowledge

• .vaibe/skills/strategic-planning-convergence/SKILL.md — why a strategic plan converges (meeting → plan → correction → rule loop), the deadline-removal test, and the mapping to the five ontological laws. Read before generating a strategic/checkpoint plan when a recent meeting exists.

Anti-patterns

• Editing old plans retroactively (only create new versions)
• Auto-selecting project without asking
• Missing tasks from Задачи/ in the plan
• Creating plan without checking meeting outcomes
• Duplicating full legend in the plan body (reference the shared file)
• Putting the week plan at the end (it should be near the top)
• Using the same template type when another fits better
• Letting a deadline hijack the priority — ranking blockers/baskets by the urgency of the nearest deadline instead of strategic importance. Classic case: a checkpoint driven by a grant deadline puts «submit the application» above «get first revenue», even though revenue is both the business goal (README) and the root way to de-risk the application itself. A deadline is urgent, the README goal is important; important comes first, urgent-but-non-strategic is a subordinate item. Regression 2026-06-01 (plan vAIbe-studio v8): the user went through /evolve to close this. Check: "would this item still be #1 if the deadline did not exist?"
• Declaring priority #1 without a task card — if the sprint's main goal is not captured as a task in Задачи/, it isn't tracked and drops out of focus. Flag ⚠️ and offer to create a card.
• Plain task numbers without markdown links — a task number in the plan without a [...](...) wrapper (see item 10 in § Generate plan and the Quality bar above). Regression 2026-05-18 — the user explicitly went through /evolve to close this.
• %20-encoded spaces in vault links — [text](../Задачи/NUM-Имя%20с%20пробелами/task.md) breaks click-to-open in Cursor (the literal path with %20 doesn't exist on disk). Use the angle-bracket form with raw spaces: [text](<../Задачи/NUM-Имя с пробелами/task.md>). Regression 2026-05-19 — the user went through /evolve. %20 stays valid only for HTTP URLs (gitlab raw API in .vaibe/rules/discovery.md), not for local vault links.
• Completed tasks left in the sprint focus baskets — завершённая (✅) задача продолжает висеть в «Корзине» фокуса рядом с открытыми, мешая видеть, что ещё в работе. Правильно — вынести её в лог «Изменения с прошлого плана» / «Итоги (что сделано)» со ссылкой на task.md; корзины оставляют только открытые / в процессе. Та же логика, что и для блокеров. Особо опасный подвид — точечная актуализация «задача N закрыта»: соблазн просто сменить ячейку статуса на ✅ вместо удаления строки. Это та же ошибка. Регрессия повторилась дважды на одном плане (vAIbe-OS v12, 12.06.2026): правило уже было в skill, но при «быстрой» ручной правке без перезапуска skill оказалось проигнорировано → пользователь прошёл через /evolve повторно. Вывод: правило действует и для однострочных правок плана. См. Step 6, item 3.
• Resolved blockers/decisions left checkboxed in the top section — после того как пользователь дал ответ по блокеру в секции «Решения и блокеры» (или вопросу в «Открытые вопросы»), пометить его ✅ / «Срок: закрыто» на месте, оставив в самом верху плана. Решённый пункт продолжает висеть в зоне максимального внимания и отвлекает от фокуса. Правильно — вынести его в лог решений («✅ Снято / Принятые решения» или «Изменения с прошлого плана»), сохранив текст решения; верхнюю секцию свернуть до «Открытых блокеров нет», если все закрыты. Обратный перегиб тоже неверен: в свёрнутом заголовке не пересказывать, что именно решили («приняли X и Y»), и не ставить указатель «см. лог ниже» — лог в том же плане, самоочевиден; и пересказ, и указатель снова забивают слот улажённым. Достаточно голого «Открытых блокеров нет». А в TL;DR строку «Главный блокер» при отсутствии блокеров вообще не выводить (ни «нет блокеров», ни пересказа решений) — TL;DR читается за секунды, см. Step 6, item 1. Регрессия 12.06.2026 (план vAIbe-OS v12) — пользователь прошёл через /evolve трижды (вынос → анти-тавтология в секции → удаление строки из TL;DR). См. Step 6, items 1–2.
• Backticks-only link text + angle-bracket URL — [`025`](<../path>) ломает click-to-open в Cursor: парсер не распознаёт angle-brackets как разделитель URL, когда link text — единственный code-span, и включает > в путь («Unable to open 'task.md>'»). Эмпирически проверено 19.05.2026 (тестовый файл _test-link-formats.md). Любая из модификаций снимает баг: убрать backticks ([025](<...>)), добавить текст после backticks ([025 — Title](<...>)), или сменить `…` на HTML <code>…</code>. Принятое правило vAIbe-OS — без backticks: ID задачи в планах — это порядковый номер, моноширинный шрифт не нужен. Регрессия закрыта 19.05.2026 через /evolve.
