Humanize Generate Plan

Transforms a rough draft document into a well-structured implementation plan with clear goals, acceptance criteria (AC-X format), path boundaries, and feasibility suggestions.

The installer hydrates this skill with an absolute runtime root path:

Input Requirements

Required Arguments:

  • --input <path/to/draft.md> - The draft document
  • --output <path/to/plan.md> - Where to write the plan

Plan Structure Output

The generated plan includes:

# Plan Title

## Goal Description
Clear description of what needs to be accomplished

## Acceptance Criteria

- AC-1: First criterion
  - Positive Tests (expected to PASS):
    - Test case that should succeed
  - Negative Tests (expected to FAIL):
    - Test case that should fail

## Path Boundaries

### Upper Bound (Maximum Scope)
Most comprehensive acceptable implementation

### Lower Bound (Minimum Scope)  
Minimum viable implementation

### Allowed Choices
- Can use: allowed technologies
- Cannot use: prohibited technologies

## Dependencies and Sequence

### Milestones
1. Milestone 1: Description
   - Phase A: ...
   - Phase B: ...

## Implementation Notes
- Code should NOT contain plan terminology
