Plan Briefing
Interactive walkthrough of a plan's reasoning, decisions, and solution
shape. Designed for developers who need to understand a plan in 1-2
minutes instead of reading the full document.
Why This Exists
Plans answer "what to do" but bury "why." This skill bridges that
gap with an interactive walkthrough.
Usage
/phx:brief # Latest plan
/phx:brief .claude/plans/user-auth/plan.md # Specific plan
Arguments
$ARGUMENTS = Path to plan file (optional, auto-detects latest)
Mode Detection
Read the plan file and determine mode from phase statuses:
- All phases
[PENDING] = Pre-work briefing (what WILL happen)
- Any phase
[COMPLETED] or [IN_PROGRESS] = Post-work briefing
(what WAS done and why)
Execution Flow
