| description | Create technical implementation plans from specifications. Uses TDD approach and defines clear verification strategy. |
Plan Skill
Architect solutions with technical implementation plans.
When to Activate
This skill is relevant when:
- Creating implementation plans from specs
- Designing technical solutions
- Planning database and code changes
- Defining verification strategies
Core Principles
Scalability & Performance
- Will this query scale?
- Are patterns efficient?
- Consider performance early
- Plan for growth
Data Integrity
- Design schema for correctness
- Use foreign keys and constraints
- Choose appropriate types
- Enforce data validation
Future-Proofing
- Is this extensible?
- Avoid painting into corners
- Consider evolution paths
- Balance flexibility and simplicity
Complexity Management
- Keep it simple
- Avoid over-engineering
- Use appropriate patterns
- Clear, maintainable design
TDD Strategy
- TDD Strategy section MUST come before Proposed Changes in every plan
- List new test files to create, with specific test case names
- List existing test files to update, with specific additions
- For each test case, describe: input → expected output
- Specify test commands to run (e.g.
npm test, pytest)
- State expected test count change (e.g. "+8 new tests")
- In Proposed Changes, list test file changes before implementation file changes
Accessibility Planning
- Identify ARIA requirements early
- Plan keyboard navigation
- Consider screen readers
- Design for all users
Quick Checks
When creating plans, verify:
