| description | Create an actionable implementation plan with a checklist of coding tasks based on the requirements and design. Use this as the third step of Spec Driven Development. |
Implementation Plan Creation Workflow
Quick start
"Run the plan skill to create a task list based on the design document at [path/to/design.md]."
Workflows
1. Task List Generation
- Prerequisite: Ensure a design document exists and has been approved.
- Task: Convert the feature design into a series of prompts for a code-generation LLM that will implement each step in a test-driven manner.
- Core Directives:
- Prioritize best practices, incremental progress, and early testing.
- Ensure no big jumps in complexity at any stage.
- Make sure each prompt builds on the previous ones and ends with wiring things together.
- Avoid hanging or orphaned code not integrated into a previous step.
- Focus ONLY on tasks that involve writing, modifying, or testing code. Avoid deployment, metrics, training, etc.
- Constraints:
- Format the plan as a numbered checkbox list with a maximum of two levels of hierarchy (e.g., 1., 1.1). Follow the format in
template.md.
- Include a clear objective for each task.
- Add specific references to requirements from the requirements document (granular sub-requirements).
- Ensure each step is concrete, specifies files/components, and is actionable by a coding agent.
- Sequence steps to validate core functionality early through code.
2. Iterative Refinement
- Output: Write the tasks document to
tasks.md.
- Feedback Loop:
- Ask the user: "Do the tasks look good?"
- Make modifications if the user requests changes or does not explicitly approve.
- Offer to return to previous steps (requirements or design) if gaps are identified.
- Continue the feedback-revision cycle until explicit approval is received.
