Project Plan Feature

Project Plan Feature

Use this skill only when explicitly invoked as $project-plan-feature. It owns Gate 4 planning for one feature at a time and updates only the corresponding milestone-status.txt.

Core Rules

• Read progress.txt and the active milestone-status.txt fresh from disk.
• Require at least one milestone directory with milestone-status.txt.
• Write only milestone-status.txt; do not update progress.txt.
• Produce the feature plan, present it for review, and record approval only after checklist items are [x] or [-] with a reason.
• Read spike docs only when the user explicitly references them.
• Ask concise chat questions for user choices; use structured input tools when available.
• Do not invoke the next skill automatically. Recommend the next explicit skill.
• Read the referenced workflow files before executing their corresponding steps; they contain required edge-case handling, review criteria, and artifact formats.

Workflow

1. Auto-detect the active milestone from progress.txt or use the user's explicit milestone override.
2. Read the milestone status file and choose the first pending feature, unless the user names another feature.
3. Normal mode: read references/gate-4-plan.md, load required inputs, perform a targeted codebase scan, and create milestones/<NN>-<name>/plans/<feature>.md using assets/feature-plan-template.md.
4. Re-plan mode: read references/revision-mode.md, load the existing plan, ask what changed, and apply focused revisions.
5. Create/update the Gate 4 review file using references/review-checklist-template.md.
6. Update the feature entry in milestone-status.txt to [~] planned, awaiting build with the plan path.
