concise-planning
This skill converts vague coding requests into a highly structured, actionable, and atomic development plan. It guides the user through defining the approach, scope (In/Out), and breaking down the task into a mandatory checklist of ordered, concrete steps (e.g., discovery, implementation, validation). Ideal for ensuring comprehensive and traceable project development workflows.

Overview

Concise Planning

Goal

Turn a user request into a single, actionable plan with atomic steps.

Workflow

1. Scan Context

  • Read README.md, docs, and relevant code files.
  • Identify constraints (language, frameworks, tests).

2. Minimal Interaction

  • Ask at most 1–2 questions and only if truly blocking.
  • Make reasonable assumptions for non-blocking unknowns.

3. Generate Plan

Use the following structure:

  • Approach: 1-3 sentences on what and why.
  • Scope: Bullet points for "In" and "Out".
  • Action Items: A list of 6-10 atomic, ordered tasks (Verb-first).
  • Validation: At least one item for testing.

## Scope

- Out:

## Action Items

[ ] <Step 1: Discovery>
[ ] <Step 2: Implementation>
[ ] <Step 3: Implementation>
[ ] <Step 4: Validation/Testing>
[ ] <Step 5: Rollout/Commit>

## Open Questions

- <Question 1 (max 3)>

Checklist Guidelines

  • Atomic: Each step should be a single logical unit of work.
  • Verb-first: "Add...", "Refactor...", "Verify...".
  • Concrete: Name specific files or modules when possible.

When to Use

This skill is applicable to execute the workflow or actions described in the overview.

Limitations

  • Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
  • Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
  • Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
