Summary

Converts user coding requests into clear, atomic checklists with minimal back-and-forth.

  • Scans existing code, docs, and constraints before generating a plan to avoid unnecessary questions
  • Produces structured plans with approach, scope boundaries, 6–10 ordered action items, and validation steps
  • Uses verb-first, concrete task language (e.g., "Add X to file Y") to keep steps logically independent and actionable
  • Asks at most 1–2 blocking questions; makes reasonable assumptions for non-blocking unknowns to keep planning efficient

Concise Planning

Goal

Turn a user request into a single, actionable plan with atomic steps.

Workflow

1. Scan Context

  • Read README.md, docs, and relevant code files.
  • Identify constraints (language, frameworks, tests).

2. Minimal Interaction

  • Ask at most 1–2 questions and only if truly blocking.
  • Make reasonable assumptions for non-blocking unknowns.

3. Generate Plan

Use the following structure:

  • Approach: 1-3 sentences on what and why.
  • Scope: Bullet points for "In" and "Out".
  • Action Items: A list of 6-10 atomic, ordered tasks (Verb-first).
  • Validation: At least one item for testing.

# Plan

<High-level approach>

## Scope

- In:
- Out:

## Action Items

[ ] <Step 1: Discovery>
[ ] <Step 2: Implementation>
[ ] <Step 3: Implementation>
[ ] <Step 4: Validation/Testing>
[ ] <Step 5: Rollout/Commit>

## Open Questions

- <Question 1 (max 3)>

Checklist Guidelines

  • Atomic: Each step should be a single logical unit of work.
  • Verb-first: "Add...", "Refactor...", "Verify...".
  • Concrete: Name specific files or modules when possible.

When to Use

This skill is applicable to execute the workflow or actions described in the overview.

Limitations

  • Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
  • Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
  • Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
