plan

Turn a piece of work into phases and steps: today's code with file paths, phases that each end in something reviewable, steps that leave the tree working and how each is checked, what is out of scope, and what is unclear with who must answer. Also reviews a written plan against the repository and the request, challenges it with one agent per way it can fail, and records the answers to its open questions. Use before starting work, on work somebody else designed, when work needs stages but one owner, or when a plan needs checking before anyone builds on it. Triggers on: "plan this ticket", "implementation plan", "plan this in phases", "lập kế hoạch", "kế hoạch thực thi", "vạch bước", "chia giai đoạn", "làm ticket này thế nào", "実装計画", "作業計画", "段階に分けて", "review this plan", "check this plan", "soát lại plan", "review kế hoạch", "計画をレビュー", "challenge this plan", "phản biện kế hoạch", "計画に反論して", "record the answers in the plan", "ghi câu trả lời vào plan", "計画に回答を反映して", "/atk:plan".

# Implementation Plan (`atk:plan`)

Answers one question: for this work, which files, in which order, checked how. It is the layer
between the design and the code, written by the person who will do the work, for that person and
their reviewer.

Work that needs several days and several reviewable pieces gets several phases, in one plan
directory. Nobody has to chop a piece of work into small tickets before they are allowed to plan it:
finding where the seams are is what this skill is for.

The plan is a draft and acting on it needs nobody's approval. Writing down the steps you intend to
take is drafting, not deciding, so rule 3 in `shared/team-roles.md` does not bite here. What needs
approval is an architectural choice, and choosing between architectures is `atk:design-doc`. When
this skill finds it is comparing approaches rather than sequencing one, it has crossed into that
