# Implementation Plan > Produce a structured implementation plan (no code) from an existing specification or deep analysis. Use after a spec is written to outline steps, file touch points, sequencing, and test strategy without writing code. Use when this capability is needed. - Skill: `tomevault-io/implementation-plan` (Agent Skill, multi-file: 2 files) - Install (CLI): `npx skillmds@latest add tomevault-io/implementation-plan` - Raw SKILL.md: https://api.skillmd.com/api/skills/tomevault-io/implementation-plan/raw - Safety review: pending - Works with: Claude Code, Claude.ai, OpenAI Codex - Category: Coding & Dev Tools - Author: tomevault-io (https://skillmd.com/u/tomevault-io) - Updated: 2026-09-17 - Page: https://skillmd.com/skills/tomevault-io/implementation-plan --- # Implementation Plan ## Overview Transform an existing specification into a clear, ordered implementation plan with concrete steps, affected areas, and test execution sequence. Do not write code. ## Workflow 1) Confirm inputs - Ensure a specification already exists in the current context. - If missing, ask for the spec or a link to it. 2) Identify workstreams - Break the spec into discrete steps: core logic, validation, UI, persistence, integration, tests, tooling. - Map each step to files/areas referenced in the spec. 3) Order the steps - Prefer foundational utilities first, then integrations, then UI, then tests. - Highlight prerequisites and dependencies between steps. 4) Define test strategy - List the test layers to update (unit/integration/e2e). - Specify the target projects and key scenarios. - Include build/test command order when relevant. 5) Call out risks and checkpoints - Note migration or compatibility concerns. - Identify risky changes that warrant extra verification. ## Output Format - Title - Assumptions - Step-by-step plan (numbered) - Files/Areas to touch (bulleted) - Test plan (bulleted) - Risks/Checkpoints ## Constraints - Do not generate code. - Ask questions only if the specification is missing or ambiguous. - Keep plan concise but actionable. --- > Converted and distributed by [TomeVault](https://tomevault.io/claim/pow-software) — claim your Tome and manage your conversions.
