implementation-planning SKILL.md skillA

implementation-planning from josstei/maestro-orchestrate is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add josstei/maestro-orchestrate/implementation-planning@git:20261018.c61604b

Pins git:20261018.c61604b in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Generates detailed implementation plans from finalized designs.

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

# Implementation Planning Skill

**Standard workflow only.** If `task_complexity` is `simple` and workflow mode is Express, do not activate this skill. Simple tasks use the Express workflow, which does not activate implementation-planning. Return to the EXPRESS WORKFLOW in `orchestration-steps`.

Activate this skill during Phase 2 of Maestro orchestration, after the design document has been approved. This skill provides the methodology for generating detailed, actionable implementation plans that map directly to subagent assignments.

## Codebase Grounding

Do not generate an implementation plan from guesses about the repository.

Use the built-in `codebase_investigator` before phase decomposition when:
- The task modifies an existing codebase
- File ownership, integration points, or validation commands are still unclear after reading the approved design
- Parallelization decisions depend on understanding current module boundaries or likely file overlap

Ask the investigator for:
- The modules and files most likely to change
- Existing architectural boundaries and conventions the plan must preserve
- Integration seams, dependencies, and shared ownership hotspots
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add josstei/maestro-orchestrate/implementation-planning@sha256:79953e603dacadeb

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261018.c61604b, 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.
