Each phase must be implementable by a worker that has\nno chat history: the phase section is the worker's entire brief, plus repo\nrules and the code itself.</p>\n<p>The plan is the source of truth during the run. The orchestrator updates phase\nstatus and appends log entries as it goes, so the document must be written to\nabsorb that.</p>\n<h2>Where The Plan Lives</h2>\n<p>Follow the repo's convention for design docs (for example <code>plans/&lt;author&gt;/</code> in\nrepos that define one). One markdown file per plan. Link out to the PRD/spec\nrather than duplicating it.</p>\n<h2>Document Structure</h2>\n<pre><code># &lt;Feature name&gt;\n\n## Overview\nOne or two paragraphs: what is being built and why. Link the PRD/spec.\n\n## Constraints\nRepo-wide facts every phase needs: commit/PR policy, validation commands,\nbranch or worktree requirements, anything the orchestrator must not infer.\n\n## Phases\nA short table or list: phase ID, name, depends-on, parallelizable-with.\n\n## Phase 1: &lt;name&gt;\n- **Status:** Not started\n- **Depends on:** none | Phase N\n- **Objective:** one sentence, the outcome not the activity.\n- **Scope:** the files/modules this phase owns (its write scope).\n- **Out of scope:** adjacent work this phase must not touch.\n- **Approach:** implementation notes — key decisions already made, pointers\n  to the code the worker should read first, known landmines.\n- **Acceptance criteria:** checkable statements (see below).\n- **Validation:** exact commands to run, plus any manual checks.\n\n## Phase 2: &lt;name&gt;\n...\n\n## Implementation log\n(Empty at authoring time. The orchestrator appends one entry per phase:\ndate, phase, summary, validation results, review outcome, commit SHAs,\ndeviations, remaining risks.)\n</code></pre>\n<h2>Sizing And Ordering Phases</h2>\n<ul>\n<li>One phase = one implementer worker session. If a phase's Approach section\nneeds subheadings to stay coherent, split it.</li>\n<li>Order by dependency, foundations first. A schema/migration phase is always\nits own phase (and in many repos its own PR — record that in Constraints).</li>\n<li>Phases that can run in parallel must have disjoint write scopes. Declare\nparallelizability explicitly in the phase list; the orchestrator will not\nguess.</li>\n<li>If a phase exists only to set up a later phase, say which one, so the\norchestrator knows a deviation there propagates.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Writing For A Context-Free Worker</h2>\n<p>The implementer sees the plan, the repo, and nothing else. So:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Use standalone spec language. No \"as discussed\", \"still\", \"instead of the\nold approach\", or references to conversations that produced the plan.</li>\n<li>Name concrete things: file paths, function names, commands — not \"the\nrelevant helper\" or \"the usual checks\".</li>\n<li>State decisions as decisions. If something is genuinely unresolved, mark it\nas an explicit open question and say who resolves it (the worker may decide\nin-scope questions; the orchestrator escalates cross-cutting ones).</li>\n<li>Put shared context in Constraints once rather than repeating it per phase.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Acceptance Criteria</h2>\n<p>Each criterion must be checkable by the reviewer from the diff and the running\ncode, without asking the author:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Good: \"<code>POST /orgs/:id/invites</code> returns 403 for a non-admin member; covered\nby a route test.\"</li>\n<li>Bad: \"Invites are properly secured.\"</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Include the negative space: what must not change (existing behavior, public\ncontracts, performance characteristics) when regression there is a real risk.</p>\n<h2>Status And Log Conventions</h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Phase status vocabulary: Not started, In progress, Done, Partial, Blocked.</li>\n<li>The orchestrator owns status transitions and log entries during the run;\nthe author sets everything to Not started.</li>\n<li>Keep the Implementation log section present even when empty, so run updates\nhave a stable place to land.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Anti-Patterns</h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Phases split by activity (design/build/test) instead of by deliverable —\nevery phase should end with validated, committable work.</li>\n<li>Two phases that edit the same files marked as parallel.</li>\n<li>Acceptance criteria that restate the objective instead of testing it.</li>\n<li>A plan that embeds the whole PRD — link it and keep the plan operational.</li>\n<li>Hidden sequencing: prose that implies an order the phase list doesn't state.</li>\n</ul>\n","files":[{"path":"AGENTS.md","sizeBytes":587,"isText":true},{"path":"agents/openai.yaml","sizeBytes":214,"isText":true},{"path":"SKILL.md","sizeBytes":4794,"isText":true}],"reviewScore":null,"reviewSummary":null,"trust":{"provenance":"trusted-source-unreviewed","notice":"Community-authored content, reproduced verbatim and not vetted as instructions.
