Translate an agreed specification into a concrete, verifiable implementation plan that captures technical context, sequencing, risks, and checks — without re-opening the behavioral "what". Use after a spec is agreed and before broad implementation, for any change that spans multiple files, introduces new dependencies, or carries meaningful risk. The agreed spec (goals, non-goals, acceptance criteria), repository conventions, known constraints, and the technical context deferred from the spec phase.

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.

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
4 rules. 0 are common, 3 are distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 3 edited versions we read keep these.
3
Distinctive
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
1
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

Read the spec and confirm acceptance criteria are observable.
- Distinctive: line 51
No traceability between steps and acceptance criteria.
- Very specific: line 63
Not applied: upstream plan template text, command names, or CLI generation.
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 3 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.

Plan From Spec
Purpose
Translate an agreed specification into a concrete, verifiable implementation plan that captures technical context, sequencing, risks, and checks — without re-opening the behavioral "what".
When to use
Use after a spec is agreed and before broad implementation, for any change that spans multiple files, introduces new dependencies, or carries meaningful risk.
Inputs
The agreed spec (goals, non-goals, acceptance criteria), repository conventions, known constraints, and the technical context deferred from the spec phase.
Workflow
- Read the spec and confirm acceptance criteria are observable.
- Capture technical context separately: stack, data, interfaces, and constraints.
- Identify the smallest set of reviewable steps that satisfy the spec.
- For each step, name the files to touch and the expected outcome.
- Note risks, rollback points, and the verification command(s) per step.
- Trace each plan step back to one or more acceptance criteria.
- Hand the plan to task breakdown; do not start coding from the plan directly.
Outputs
A plan using templates/plan-template.md with technical context, ordered steps,
spec traceability, risks, rollback, and verification.
Failure modes
- The plan reopens behavioral decisions instead of implementing the spec.
- Steps are too large to review or verify independently.
- Technical context is missing, so tasks make hidden assumptions.
- No traceability between steps and acceptance criteria.
Verification checklist
- Every step maps to at least one acceptance criterion.
- Technical context is explicit and separate from behavior.
- Each step names files and expected outcome.
- Risks, rollback, and verification are recorded.
Applied / Not Applied
- Applied: the spec→plan transition and separated technical context from
github/spec-kit. - Not applied: upstream plan template text, command names, or CLI generation. Reuses the
existing local
plan-template.mdandplan-driven-executionskill.

Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.
No reviews yet
People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.
- It worked
- Partly
- It didn't
Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
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.
