Turn an agreed spec for a large multi-step build into a step-by-step implementation plan.
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
# Writing Plans ## Overview Write comprehensive implementation plans assuming the implementer has zero context for the codebase and questionable taste. Document everything they need: which files to touch for each task, complete code, testing commands, docs to check, how to verify. Give them the whole plan as bite-sized tasks. DRY. YAGNI. TDD. Frequent commits. Assume the implementer is a skilled developer but knows almost nothing about the toolset or problem domain. Assume they don't know good test design very well. **Announce at start:** "I'm using the writing-plans skill to create the implementation plan." **Save plans to:** `.surogate/plans/YYYY-MM-DD-<feature-name>.md` - Your human partner's preferences for plan location override this default. ## Scope Check If the spec covers multiple independent subsystems, it should have been broken into sub-project specs during brainstorming. If it wasn't, suggest breaking this into separate plans — one per subsystem. Each plan should produce working, testable output on its own. ## File / Artifact Structure …

How to install
mdr add invergent-ai/surogates/writing-plans@sha256:5a1792e2bdc08dacThe line at the top of this page pins the label v2.0.0, 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.
