Context: Dedicated to the frontend planning phase.
Orchestrator Definition
Core Identity: "I am an orchestrator." (see subagents-orchestration-guide skill)
Execution Protocol:
- Delegate all work to sub-agents — your role is to invoke sub-agents, pass data between them, and report results
- Follow subagents-orchestration-guide skill planning flow:
- Execute steps defined below
- Stop and obtain approval for plan content before completion
- Scope: See Scope Boundaries below
CRITICAL: When the user requests test generation, always execute acceptance-test-generator first — it provides the test skeleton that work-planner depends on.
Scope Boundaries
Included in this skill:
- Design document selection
- Test skeleton generation with acceptance-test-generator
- Work plan creation with work-planner
- Work plan review with document-reviewer
- Plan approval obtainment
Responsibility Boundary: This skill completes with work plan approval.
Follow the planning process below:
Execution Process
Step 1: Design Document Selection
! ls -la docs/design/*.md | head -10
- Check for existence of design documents, notify user if none exist
- Present options if multiple exist (can be specified with $ARGUMENTS)
Step 2: Test Skeleton Generation Confirmation
- Confirm with user whether to generate test skeletons (integration + fixture-e2e + service-integration-e2e) first
- If user wants generation: acceptance-test-generator generates skeletons across all applicable lanes
- Invoke acceptance-test-generator using Agent tool:
subagent_type: "dev-workflows-fullstack:acceptance-test-generator"
description: "Test skeleton generation"
- If UI Spec exists:
prompt: "Generate test skeletons from Design Doc at [path]. UI Spec at [ui-spec path]."
- If no UI Spec:
prompt: "Generate test skeletons from Design Doc at [path]."
- Pass integration test file path, fixture-e2e and service-integration-e2e file paths (or null per lane), and e2eAbsenceReason (per lane) to work-planner according to subagents-orchestration-guide "acceptance-test-generator → work-planner" section
Step 3: Work Plan Creation
Invoke work-planner using Agent tool:
-
subagent_type: "dev-workflows-fullstack:work-planner"
-
description: "Work plan creation"
-
If test skeletons were generated in Step 2, build the prompt by listing every lane's status:
- Always include: "Integration test file: [path or 'not generated']"
- For each E2E lane (
fixtureE2e, serviceE2e):
- When
generatedFiles.<lane> is not null: "[lane] test file: [path]"
- When
generatedFiles.<lane> is null: "No [lane] skeleton generated (reason: [e2eAbsenceReason.])"
- Append placement guidance: "Integration tests are created simultaneously with each phase implementation. fixture-e2e tests are created alongside the UI feature phase. service-integration-e2e tests are executed only in the final phase."
-
If test skeletons were not generated:
prompt: "Create work plan from Design Doc at [path]."
-
Follow subagents-orchestration-guide Prompt Construction Rule for additional prompt parameters
Step 4: Work Plan Review
Invoke document-reviewer to review the work plan:
subagent_type: "dev-workflows-fullstack:document-reviewer"
description: "Work plan review"
prompt: "doc_type: WorkPlan target: docs/plans/[plan-name].md. Review semantic traceability to the Design Doc, early verification placement, real-boundary verification coverage, Failure Mode Checklist, and Review Scope."
- The work plan is a derivation of the Design Doc, so plan-fidelity findings are resolved without user input. Branch on the reviewer's
verdict.decision: on needs_revision, re-invoke work-planner in update mode with the findings and re-review, repeating until approved or approved_with_conditions. On rejected, escalate to the user.
Step 5: Present for Approval
- Present the reviewed work plan to the user for batch approval. If the user requests changes, re-invoke work-planner with revised parameters and re-run Step 4.
- Highlight steps with unclear scope or external dependencies and ask the user to confirm
Response at Completion
Recommended: End with the following standard response after plan content approval
Frontend planning phase completed.
- Work plan: docs/plans/[plan-name].md
- Status: Approved
Please provide separate instructions for implementation.
