writing-plans

Creates detailed, bite-sized implementation plans with TDD structure, exact file paths, complete code, and test commands. Use when you have a spec, requirements, design doc, or feature request and need to plan before coding — especially for multi-step tasks, large features, or when handing off to another session. DO NOT TRIGGER when asked to write code directly or fix a simple bug.

Quality

Content

77%

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

This is a strong, actionable skill that provides a clear TDD-based planning workflow with concrete templates, exact commands, and validation checkpoints. Its main strengths are the precise task structure template and the explicit workflow with verification steps at each stage. Minor weaknesses include some redundancy between sections and a few lines of unnecessary flavor text that could be trimmed.

Suggestions

Trim flavor text like 'questionable taste' and 'assume they don't know good test design' — replace with the concrete implication (e.g., 'always include test commands and expected output').

Consider consolidating the 'Common Mistakes' section into the relevant template sections as inline comments or constraints to reduce redundancy.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Generally efficient but has some unnecessary verbosity. The 'assume they have questionable taste' and 'assume they don't know good test design' lines are flavor text that don't add actionable value. The 'Common Mistakes' section partially overlaps with the task structure section. However, most content earns its place.

2 / 3

Actionability

Highly actionable with concrete task structure templates, exact markdown formatting, specific file path conventions, complete code examples in the task template, exact test commands with expected outputs, and a clear plan header template. Everything is copy-paste ready.

3 / 3

Workflow Clarity

The workflow is crystal clear: plan header → bite-sized tasks with TDD steps (write failing test → verify failure → implement → verify pass). Each step has explicit validation checkpoints with expected outcomes. The execution handoff at the end provides clear next-step options. The granularity guidance (2-5 minutes per step, max 8 steps per task) adds useful guardrails.

3 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

The content is well-organized with clear sections (Overview, Task Structure, Common Mistakes, Execution Handoff), but everything is inline in a single file. For a skill of this length (~80 lines of meaningful content), this is acceptable but the references to external skills (kit:team-dev, brainstorming skill) could benefit from clearer signaling. No bundle files are provided despite references to other skills.

Description

100%

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

This is an excellent skill description that clearly defines what the skill does (creates TDD-structured implementation plans with specific deliverables), when to use it (specs, requirements, large features, handoffs), and when NOT to use it (direct coding, simple bugs). The inclusion of both positive and negative trigger guidance makes it highly effective for skill selection among many options.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists multiple specific concrete actions: 'detailed, bite-sized implementation plans', 'TDD structure', 'exact file paths', 'complete code', and 'test commands'. These are concrete, actionable outputs.

3 / 3

Completeness

Clearly answers both 'what' (creates implementation plans with TDD structure, file paths, code, test commands) and 'when' (explicit 'Use when' clause with triggers, plus a 'DO NOT TRIGGER' clause for disambiguation). Both are explicit and well-defined.

3 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

Includes strong natural trigger terms users would say: 'spec', 'requirements', 'design doc', 'feature request', 'plan before coding', 'multi-step tasks', 'large features', 'handing off to another session'. Also includes negative triggers to reduce false matches.

3 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Highly distinctive with a clear niche (planning/implementation plans vs. direct coding). The 'DO NOT TRIGGER' clause explicitly disambiguates from general coding skills, and the focus on TDD-structured plans with handoff scenarios creates a unique identity.
