Implementation Plan

Turn an approved task-analysis result into a shared technical design and coding-ready implementation handoff. Use when Cursor has an existing task folder under `tmp/tasks/`, plus a selected solution and related codebase research, and needs to produce `implementation-plan.md` and `coding-task.md` before writing code.

File contents

Implementation Plan Skill

Use this skill when the design direction is already chosen and the next missing artifact is a coding-ready plan.

Workflow

Follow the canonical workflow in ../../../.memory-bank/workflows/implementation-plan.md.

Required Guardrails

Read the existing task folder artifacts first, especially task.md and the selected solution.
Re-check the current code, tests, configs, and schema paths instead of trusting earlier analysis blindly.
Treat this as a handoff-preparation step, not a fresh solution-comparison step.
If the chosen direction is ambiguous or stale enough to change the recommendation, stop and route the task back to analysis.
Write the outputs into the existing tmp/tasks/<task-name>/ folder as implementation-plan.md and coding-task.md.
Keep the implementation plan focused on shared technical design; keep the coding task focused on actionable execution details.

Minimal Starting Reads

Start with:

../../../.memory-bank/project-context.md
../../../.memory-bank/architecture.md
../../../.memory-bank/exploration-map.md
../../../.memory-bank/gotchas.md
../../../tmp/tasks/<task-name>/task.md
../../../tmp/tasks/<task-name>/solution_*.md
../../../tmp/tasks/<task-name>/solutions.md if present

Then read the specific research notes, ADRs, rules, tests, and source files needed to make the design concrete and current.
