make-plan is an agent skill that creates documentation-grounded phased implementation plans using orchestrator-led subagent discovery before execution.

About

The make-plan skill turns an orchestrator agent into a planner that writes LLM-friendly phased implementation plans grounded in real documentation rather than assumed APIs. Phase 0 always deploys Documentation Discovery subagents to read docs, examples, and existing patterns, then consolidate an Allowed APIs list with anti-patterns before any implementation phases are authored. Each later phase frames copy-from-docs tasks with specific file and line references, verification checklists, and guards against invented methods or undocumented parameters. Subagents must follow a reporting contract listing sources consulted, concrete findings, copy-ready snippet locations, and confidence gaps; the orchestrator rejects conclusions without evidence. The final verification phase checks implementations against documentation, greps for known bad patterns, and runs tests. Plans are structured so each phase can run in a new session with self-contained references, pairing naturally with the sibling do skill for execution. Use when asked to plan a feature, multi-step task, or implementation before running do.

  • Phase 0 Documentation Discovery is mandatory before any implementation planning begins.
  • Subagent reporting contract requires sources, concrete findings, snippet locations, and confidence gaps.
  • Each phase directs copy-from-docs tasks with file references instead of vague migration goals.
  • Anti-pattern guards block invented APIs, undocumented parameters, and skipped verification.
  • Final verification phase greps bad patterns and runs tests before declaring the plan complete.

How do agents plan multi-step implementations without inventing APIs or losing documentation context across sessions?

Create a phased, documentation-first implementation plan with mandatory subagent discovery before execution, designed for consecutive fresh chat contexts.

Who is it for?

Orchestrator agents preparing structured implementation plans before delegating work to the do skill or fresh sessions.

Skip if: Skip for one-line fixes or tasks that do not need phased planning or documentation discovery.

When should I use this skill?

User asks to plan a feature, task, or multi-step implementation, especially before executing with do.

What you get

A phased plan with Phase 0 Allowed APIs, copy-ready task framing, per-phase verification checklists, and a final documentation audit phase.

  • phased implementation plan
  • documentation discovery notes
  • task boundaries per phase

How it compares

Choose make-plan over jumping straight to coding when features need documentation discovery and session-portable phase boundaries.

FAQ

What must happen in Phase 0?

Deploy Documentation Discovery subagents to read docs and examples, build an Allowed APIs list, and note anti-patterns before writing implementation phases.

How should implementation tasks be framed?

Direct agents to copy documented patterns with specific file and line references instead of asking them to migrate or transform existing code blindly.

What subagent evidence is required?

Each subagent must list sources consulted, concrete findings, copy-ready snippet locations, and confidence gaps or be redeployed.
