Design to Plan Skill (Gemini Edition)
End-to-end design and planning workflow that leverages Gemini's massive context window for whole-project architectural grounding.
Workflow
- Brainstorm: Gemini ingests the entire codebase context to provide architectural advice, identify existing patterns, and propose trade-offs for a new feature.
- Plan: Generate a structured implementation plan (
## Task N: format) with "Known Types Inventory" automatically populated from the entire repository.
- Adversarial Review: Run Gemini-native R1-R7 checks against the plan to ensure technical integrity and adherence to standards.
- Launch: Route to execution via
executing-plans.
Gemini Advantages
- Whole-Project Grounding: Unlike Claude-based design which is limited by context fragments, Gemini sees the entire
src/, docs/, and tests/ simultaneously.
- Deep Pattern Matching: Automatically identifies and reuses existing Pydantic models and Enums across the entire workspace.
- Complex Dependency Mapping: Accurately maps cross-module dependencies for large-scale refactors.
Arguments
--topic: Topic or problem to brainstorm.
--plan-path: Path to an existing plan file to review or launch.
--no-launch: Stop after generating the plan.
