What Make Plan does

Make Plan creates a detailed, phased implementation plan with documentation discovery agents that verify APIs and patterns before implementation. Use it when asked to plan a feature, task, or multi-step implementation, especially before executing with do.

Make Plan is cataloged under AI Engineering on DirSkills. Make Plan comes from a repository tagged ai, ai-agents, ai-memory, anthropic and artificial-intelligence.

Documentation

README

Excerpt

Make Plan

You are an ORCHESTRATOR. Create an LLM-friendly plan in phases that can be executed consecutively in new chat contexts.

Delegation Model

Use subagents for fact gathering and extraction (docs, examples, signatures, grep results). Keep synthesis and plan authoring with the orchestrator (phase boundaries, task framing, final wording). If a subagent report is incomplete or lacks evidence, re-check with targeted reads/greps before finalizing.

Subagent Reporting Contract (MANDATORY)

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
