Turn a chosen approach into a phased implementation plan with concrete steps, file changes, and success criteria. Use after `vd:interview` and `vd:brainstorm` (or a cleared `vd:interview --wayfinder` chunk, or any decided design) when you need to sequence the work before building. Default produces plan.md + phase files; pass `--quick` for a single-file plan, `--deep` for research dispatch + red-team review, `--audit` to independently check an existing plan. Do not use while the approach is…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Plan Plan converts a *decided* approach into a *sequenced* implementation. If the approach isn't decided, stop and run `vd:brainstorm`. If the *deciding* itself will not fit one session, stop and run `vd:interview --wayfinder`. A plan that opens with "we should consider whether to use X or Y" is a brainstorm in disguise - kick it back. ## Hard rules 1. **No code, no scaffolding, no source edits.** Only plan files. If the user pushes for implementation, hand off to `vd:cook` or implement separately. 2. **One decided approach in, one plan out.** If the input is ambiguous about *what* is being built, ask - don't guess and write a plan for the wrong shape. 3. **Phases are independently reviewable units.** Each phase should be reviewable/mergeable on its own - not "step 4 of 12 with no working state in between." A phase that can't ship standalone is two phases. 4. **Concrete, not aspirational.** Every phase names the files it touches, the steps in order, and the criteria that prove it's done. "Implement auth" is not a phase. "Add `auth/middleware.ts` validating JWT signature against JWKS endpoint, reject expired tokens" is. …

How to install
mdr add vanducng/skills/plan@sha256:a61478e21d43c742The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.3.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
