Writing Plans
Skill Verified ActiveUse when you have a spec or requirements for a multi-step task, before touching code
To create highly detailed and actionable implementation plans for complex development tasks, ensuring clarity and completeness before any code is written.
Features
- Generates detailed implementation plans for multi-step tasks
- Documents file structures, code, testing, and commit steps
- Enforces TDD, YAGNI, and DRY principles
- Provides clear execution handoff options (subagent or inline)
- Ensures engineer has zero context required for plan comprehension
Use Cases
- When starting a new feature with a spec or requirements.
- To break down complex tasks into manageable, bite-sized steps.
- To ensure engineers with limited project context can follow implementation steps.
- To enforce best practices like TDD and frequent commits.
Non-Goals
- Writing code directly.
- Handling tasks that have not been broken into sub-project specs.
- Providing context for the engineer's personal codebase or tooling.
- Executing plans without user approval or a specified handoff.

Cli Creator
100Build a composable CLI for Codex from API docs, an OpenAPI spec, existing curl examples, an SDK, a web app, an admin tool, or a local script. Use when the user wants Codex to create a command-line tool that can run from any repo, expose composable read/write commands, return stable JSON, manage auth, and pair with a companion skill.
Context Mode Ops
100Manage context-mode GitHub issues, PRs, releases, and marketing with parallel subagent army. Orchestrates 10-20 dynamic agents per task. Use when triaging issues, reviewing PRs, releasing versions, writing LinkedIn posts, announcing releases, fixing bugs, merging contributions, validating ENV vars, testing adapters, or syncing branches.
Fixflow
100Execute coding tasks with a strict delivery workflow: build a full plan, implement one step at a time, run tests continuously, and commit by default after each step (`per_step`). Support explicit commit policy overrides (`final_only`, `milestone`) and optional BDD (Given/When/Then) when users ask for behavior-driven delivery or requirements are unclear.
Kotlin Mcp Server Generator
100Generate a complete Kotlin MCP server project with proper structure, dependencies, and implementation using the official io.modelcontextprotocol:kotlin-sdk library.
