Plan Generator Skill - Creates structured, validated plans from requirements by coordinating with specialist agents and generating comprehensive planning artifacts. - Creating plans for new features - Planning refactoring efforts - Planning system migrations - Planning architecture changes - Breaking down complex requirements - Validating existing plans

Step 1: Analyze Requirements

Parse user requirements:

• Extract explicit requirements
• Identify implicit requirements
• Determine planning scope
• Assess complexity

Step 2: Coordinate Specialists

Request planning input from relevant agents:

• Analyst: Business requirements and market context
• PM: Product requirements and user stories
• Architect: Technical architecture and design
• Database Architect: Data requirements
• UX Expert: Interface requirements

Step 3: Generate Plan Structure

Create plan following template:

• Load template from .cursor/templates/plan-template.md
• Define objectives
• Break down into steps (≤7 steps per section)
• Identify dependencies
• Assign agents to steps

Step 4: Assess Risks

Identify risks and mitigation:

• Technical risks
• Resource risks
• Timeline risks
• Dependency risks
• Mitigation strategies

Step 5: Validate Plan

Validate plan completeness:

• All requirements addressed
• Dependencies mapped
• Success criteria defined
• Risks identified
• Plan is feasible

Step 6: Generate Artifacts

Create plan artifacts:

• Plan markdown: .cursor/context/artifacts/plan-<id>.md
• Plan JSON: .cursor/context/artifacts/plan-<id>.json
• Plan summary </execution_process>

<plan_types> Feature Development Plan:

• Objectives: Feature goals
• Steps: Analysis → Design → Implementation → Testing
• Agents: Analyst → PM → Architect → Developer → QA

Refactoring Plan:

• Objectives: Code quality goals
• Steps: Analysis → Planning → Implementation → Validation

**Integration with Planner Agent**: Planner agent uses this skill to: - Generate plans from requirements - Coordinate specialist input - Validate plan completeness - Track plan execution **Example Plan Output**
