plan
Skill0 starsChanged 7 months agoMITView on GitHub
Create a structured implementation plan with sized tasks and acceptance criteria. Use when starting any non-trivial feature (3+ steps), when a task feels ambiguous, or when you need to break down a large request before coding.
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
6 rules. 0 are common, 3 are distinctive, and 3 are very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 167 edited versions we read keep these.
3
Distinctive
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
3
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Very specific: line 13
Check .lifecycle/lessons/ for lessons on relevant topics.
- Distinctive: line 41
Write detailed specs upfront to reduce ambiguity during execution
- Very specific: line 58
Update progress as tasks complete: [ ] → [x]
- Distinctive: line 59
Do NOT ask between tasks — execute to completion
- Very specific: line 60
If context limit approaching: run /checkpoint, commit, /compact, resume with /resume
- Distinctive: line 61
If something goes sideways mid-execution: STOP and re-plan
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 167 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.
Files
Create Plan
Analyze this request and create a structured implementation plan.
Before planning
Check .lifecycle/lessons/ for lessons on relevant topics. Also check docs/06-Development/lessons.md as v1.x fallback. Skip if neither exists.
Create plan file
Write .lifecycle/plans/[name]-plan.md:
# [Feature Name] Plan
## Summary
[2-3 sentences. What and why.]
## Tasks
1. [S] Task — acceptance criteria in one line
2. [M] Task — criteria
3. [L] Task — criteria
## Dependencies
[Only if tasks depend on each other. Skip if none.]
## Open Questions
[Anything ambiguous. Skip if clear.]Rules:
- One line per task. No paragraphs, no prose.
- Complexity: S = <30min, M = 1-3hrs, L = 3hrs+
- Reference external docs instead of inlining
- Write detailed specs upfront to reduce ambiguity during execution
Present and wait
Show summary and any open questions. Do NOT start coding until approved.
On approval
- Create
.lifecycle/plans/[name]-progress.md:# [Feature Name] Progress [ ] Task 1 [ ] Task 2 [ ] Task 3 - Begin executing the first task immediately (same session)
- Update progress as tasks complete:
[ ]→[x] - Do NOT ask between tasks — execute to completion
- If context limit approaching: run
/checkpoint, commit,/compact, resume with/resume - If something goes sideways mid-execution: STOP and re-plan

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.

Other files people use alongside this one.
Files found in the same public projects as a version of this one, more often than they turn up anywhere else. Each project counts once, large collections count for less, and this file's own repository is left out.
Tommy-ywSkillwebhook-subscriptions
Create and manage webhook subscriptions for event-driven agent activation, or for direct push notifications (zero LLM cost). Use when the user wants external services to trigger agent runs OR push notifications to chats.

gaebalaiSkillcodex-system
PROACTIVELY consult Codex CLI, your highly capable supporter with exceptional reasoning and task completion abilities. Codex is a trusted expert you should ALWAYS consult BEFORE making decisions on: design choices, implementation approaches, debugging strategies, refactoring plans, or any non-trivial problem. When uncertain, consult Codex. Don't hesitate - Codex provides better analysis. Explicit triggers: "think deeper", "analyze", "second opinion", "consult codex".

gaebalaiSkilldesign-tracker
PROACTIVELY track and document project design decisions without being asked. Activate automatically when detecting architecture discussions, implementation decisions, pattern choices, library selections, or any technical decisions. Also use when user explicitly says "記録して", "設計どうなってる", "record this". Do NOT wait for user to ask - record important decisions immediately.

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.
