Plan Writing

Source: obra/superpowers

Overview

This skill provides a framework for breaking down work into clear, actionable tasks with verification criteria.

Task Breakdown Principles

1. Small, Focused Tasks

  • Each task should take 2-5 minutes
  • One clear outcome per task
  • Independently verifiable

2. Clear Verification

  • How do you know it's done?
  • What can you check/test?
  • What's the expected output?

3. Logical Ordering

  • Dependencies identified
  • Parallel work where possible
  • Critical path highlighted
  • Phase X: Verification is always LAST

4. Dynamic Naming in Project Root

  • Plan files are saved as {task-slug}.md in the PROJECT ROOT
  • Name derived from task (e.g., "add auth" → auth-feature.md)
  • NEVER inside .agents/, docs/, or temp folders

Planning Principles (NOT Templates!)

🔴 NO fixed templates. Each plan is UNIQUE to the task.

Principle 1: Keep It SHORT

❌ Wrong✅ Right
50 tasks with sub-sub-tasks5-10 clear tasks max
Every micro-step listedOnly actionable items
Verbose descriptionsOne-line per task
Rule: If plan is longer than 1 page, it's too long. Simplify.

---

Principle 2: Be SPECIFIC, Not Generic

❌ Wrong✅ Right
"Set up project""Run npx create-next-app"
"Add authentication""Install next-auth, create /api/auth/[...nextauth].ts"
"Style the UI""Add Tailwind classes to Header.tsx"
Rule: Each task should have a clear, verifiable outcome.

---

Principle 3: Dynamic Content Based on Project Type

For NEW PROJECT:

  • What tech stack? (decide first)
  • What's the MVP? (minimal features)
  • What's the file structure?

For FEATURE ADDITION:

  • Which files are affected?
  • What dependencies needed?
  • How to verify it works?

For BUG FIX:

  • What's the root cause?
  • What file/line to change?
  • How to test the fix?

---

Principle 4: Scripts Are Project-Specific

🔴 DO NOT copy-paste script commands. Choose based on project type.
Project TypeRelevant Scripts
Frontend/Reactux_audit.py, accessibility_checker.py
Backend/APIapi_validator.py, security_scan.py
Mobilemobile_audit.py
Databaseschema_validator.py
Full-stackMix of above based on what you touched

Wrong: Adding all scripts to every plan Right: Only scripts relevant to THIS task

---

Principle 5: Verification is Simple

❌ Wrong✅ Right
"Verify the component works correctly""Run npm run dev, click button, see toast"
"Test the API""curl localhost:3000/api/users returns 200"
"Check styles""Open browser, verify dark mode toggle works"

---

Plan Structure (Flexible, Not Fixed!)

# [Task Name]

## Goal
One sentence: What are we building/fixing?

## Tasks
- [ ] Task 1: [Specific action] → Verify: [How to check]
- [ ] Task 2: [Specific action] → Verify: [How to check]
- [ ] Task 3: [Specific action] → Verify: [How to check]

## Done When
- [ ] [Main success criteria]

## Notes
[Any important considerations]
That's it. No phases, no sub-sections unless truly needed.
Keep it minimal. Add complexity only when required.

---

Best Practices (Quick Reference)

1. Start with goal - What are we building/fixing? 2. Max 10 tasks - If more, break into multiple plans 3. Each task verifiable - Clear "done" criteria 4. Project-specific - No copy-paste templates 5. Update as you go - Mark [x] when complete

---

When to Use

  • New project from scratch
  • Adding a feature
  • Fixing a bug (if complex)
  • Refactoring multiple files
