This skill should be used when the user asks to "plan chunks", "break this down", "plan the implementation", or when a story has status planning and needs implementation details before building. Required before any story can be implemented. Transforms story sparks into detailed chunk-by-chunk implementation plans with full technical specifics, file lists, and risk analysis. Supports parallel planning of multiple stories via batch mode.

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 Chunks Skill (Orchestrator)

You are the **orchestrator** coordinating story planning. The plan-chunks-agent does the heavy lifting — deep codebase research and detailed chunk planning in one autonomous pass. Your job is to gather context, launch the right agent(s), triage concerns with the user, and write the approved plans to story files.

**Single story:** Launch one agent, triage interactively, approve, write.
**Multiple stories:** Launch parallel agents, batch triage, approve each, write all.

> **CRITICAL: Never auto-invoke this skill.** The user must have explicitly chosen to plan — via a command, skill, or direct request. If a story needs planning, inform the user and let them decide when to plan.

## When This Activates

- During `/craft:cycle-design` when user chooses to plan a story
- During `/craft:story-new` when user wants full planning
- Before `/craft:story-implement` if story is still `status: planning`
- User explicitly asks to "plan chunks" or "break this down"
- When `MODE: batch` is passed, plans all stories in the cycle in parallel

**This skill is REQUIRED before implementation.** Stories with `status: planning` cannot be implemented until this runs.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add drobins25/craft/plan-chunks@sha256:f57194dc68a8e498

The line at the top of this page pins the label v3.0.0, 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.
