You MUST use this when an approved design or settled requirements need a detailed multi-step implementation plan before code changes begin.

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 Crafting

## Overview

Write comprehensive implementation plans assuming the engineer has zero context for the codebase and questionable taste. Document everything they need to know: which files to touch for each task, code, testing, and docs they might need to check. Give them the whole plan as bite-sized tasks. DRY. YAGNI. TDD. Frequent commits. Per-task commits are the working granularity for review gates; the final shape of the history (squash, amend, branch flow) follows the user's git preferences.

Assume they are a skilled developer, but know almost nothing about the toolset or problem domain. Assume they don't know good test design very well.

For behavior-changing work, state the behavior, acceptance criteria, relevant scope, and
verification expectations in the plan. The `tdd` skill owns the test-first micro-cycle inside
that task. Keep RED and GREEN steps explicit when a plan must be self-contained; otherwise hand
off the micro-cycle instead of repeating it in every task.

**Announce at start:** "I'm using plan-crafting to create the implementation plan."

**Save plans to:** `docs/plans/YYYYMMDD-HHMM-<feature-name>.md`

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add sentimony/skills/plan-crafting@sha256:b95583f093072f77

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.8.2, 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.
