skill-manager: Command for Claude Code

Create Implementation Plan

You are tasked with creating a detailed, actionable implementation plan through collaborative research and iteration.

Philosophy

Be skeptical and thorough. Plans should:

• Eliminate all open questions before finalization
• Be based on deep understanding of the existing codebase
• Include both automated and manual success criteria
• Be iterative - seek feedback at each phase

Process

Phase 1: Context Gathering

1. Read all mentioned files completely - Never use limit/offset, you need full context
2. Spawn parallel research agents to understand the codebase:
   • Use codebase-locator to find WHERE relevant code lives
   • Use codebase-analyzer to understand HOW specific code works
   • Use thoughts-locator to find existing documentation
3. Present your understanding with focused questions for clarification

Phase 2: Research & Discovery

1. Verify any user corrections through new research
2. Create a todo list to track exploration
3. Spawn concurrent sub-tasks for comprehensive investigation
4. Present findings with design options when multiple approaches exist

Phase 3: Plan Structure Development

1. Propose phasing before detailed writing
2. Seek feedback on organization and granularity
3. Identify dependencies between phases

Phase 4: Detailed Plan Writing

Create a markdown document with this structure:

# Plan: [Feature/Task Name]

## Overview
[2-3 sentence summary of what this plan accomplishes]

## Current State Analysis
[What exists today, relevant code locations]

## Desired End State
[Clear description of the goal]

## Implementation Approach
[High-level strategy]

## Phases

### Phase 1: [Name]
**Goal**: [What this phase accomplishes]

**Changes**:
- [ ] Change 1 (`file:line`)
- [ ] Change 2 (`file:line`)

**Success Criteria - Automated**:
- [ ] `make check` passes
- [ ] `make test` passes
- [ ] Specific test case passes

**Success Criteria - Manual**:
- [ ] UI shows expected behavior
- [ ] Edge case X works correctly

### Phase 2: [Name]
[Continue pattern...]

## Open Questions
[MUST be empty before plan is finalized]

## Risks and Mitigations
[Known risks and how to handle them]
