What Writing Plans does

Writing Plans turns a spec into a rolling-wave implementation plan for multi-file features. Use it before coding when you need phase-by-phase decomposition, with only Phase 1 detailed up front.

Writing Plans is cataloged under Writing on DirSkills. Writing Plans comes from a repository tagged ai-agents, ai-coding, claude-code, code-quality and code-review.

Documentation

README

Excerpt

Writing Plans

When to use

Spec or requirements exist for a multi-step task and no implementation has started
Feature spans multiple files/layers and needs decomposition before coding
Handing off implementation to a separate session, agent, or human

Skip when

Single-file change with obvious shape (just do it)
Exploratory spike — phased plans assume known requirements
Spec is still in brainstorming; the plan would lock premature decisions

Runs after: ring:exploring-codebases, ring:planning-large-features (gates 0-6 artifacts) or ring:planning-small-features (gates 0-2 artifacts) — their outputs feed the spec Runs before: ring:executing-plans (rolling-wave execution) or ring:running-dev-cycle (gated subagent workflow)

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