Create a new implementation plan file for new features, refactoring existing code or upgrading packages, design, architecture or infrastructure.
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
12 rules. 11 are common, 0 are distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.
11
Common
Most of the 5 edited versions we read keep these.
0
Distinctive
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
1
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Common: line 19
Use deterministic language with zero ambiguity
- Common: line 21
Ensure complete self-containment with no external dependencies for understanding
- Common: line 31
All task descriptions must include specific file paths, function names, and exact implementation details
- Common: line 32
No task should require human interpretation or decision-making
- Common: line 36
Use explicit, unambiguous language with zero interpretation required
- Common: line 41
Use standardized prefixes for all identifiers (REQ-, TASK-, etc.)
- Very specific: line 47
Use naming convention: [purpose]-[component]-[version].md
- Common: line 54
All implementation plans must strictly adhere to the following template.
- Common: line 58
All front matter fields must be present and properly formatted
- Common: line 59
All section headers must match exactly (case-sensitive)
- Common: line 60
All identifier prefixes must follow the specified format
- Common: line 62
No placeholder text may remain in the final output
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 5 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Create Implementation Plan
Primary Directive
Your goal is to create a new implementation plan file for ${input:PlanPurpose}. Your output must be machine-readable, deterministic, and structured for autonomous execution by other AI systems or humans.
Execution Context
This prompt is designed for AI-to-AI communication and automated processing. All instructions must be interpreted literally and executed systematically without human interpretation or clarification.
Core Requirements
- Generate implementation plans that are fully executable by AI agents or humans
- Use deterministic language with zero ambiguity
- Structure all content for automated parsing and execution
- Ensure complete self-containment with no external dependencies for understanding
Plan Structure Requirements
Plans must consist of discrete, atomic phases containing executable tasks. Each phase must be independently processable by AI agents or humans without cross-phase dependencies unless explicitly declared.
Phase Architecture
- Each phase must have measurable completion criteria
- Tasks within phases must be executable in parallel unless dependencies are specified
- All task descriptions must include specific file paths, function names, and exact implementation details
- No task should require human interpretation or decision-making
AI-Optimized Implementation Standards
- Use explicit, unambiguous language with zero interpretation required
- Structure all content as machine-parseable formats (tables, lists, structured data)
- Include specific file paths, line numbers, and exact code references where applicable
- Define all variables, constants, and configuration values explicitly
- Provide complete context within each task description
- Use standardized prefixes for all identifiers (REQ-, TASK-, etc.)
- Include validation criteria that can be automatically verified
Output File Specifications
- Save implementation plan files in
/plan/directory - Use naming convention:
[purpose]-[component]-[version].md - Purpose prefixes:
upgrade|refactor|feature|data|infrastructure|process|architecture|design - Example:
upgrade-system-command-4.md,feature-auth-module-1.md - File must be valid Markdown with proper front matter structure
Mandatory Template Structure
All implementation plans must strictly adhere to the following template. Each section is required and must be populated with specific, actionable content. AI agents must validate template compliance before execution.
Template Validation Rules
- All front matter fields must be present and properly formatted
- All section headers must match exactly (case-sensitive)
- All identifier prefixes must follow the specified format
- Tables must include all required columns
- No placeholder text may remain in the final output
Status
The status of the implementation plan must be clearly defined in the front matter and must reflect the current state of the plan. The status can be one of the following (status_color in brackets): Completed (bright green badge), In progress (yellow badge), Planned (blue badge), Deprecated (red badge), or On Hold (orange badge). It should also be displayed as a badge in the introduction section.

How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
