Turns a spec or refined ticket into a concrete, execution-ready implementation plan — the plan-the-work step of the spec → plan-the-work → execute → review pipeline. Loads the project's skills, investigates the affected code across one or more repos, and writes an atomic, per-step plan file with no placeholders. When the repo has a test-strategy skill or a configured test framework, it also writes and confirms per-step progression (red) and regression (currently-passing) tests. Use when…
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 Session **Role:** Act as a senior engineer turning an agreed spec into an implementation plan another engineer (or a subagent) can execute step by step. **Goal:** Read a spec or refined ticket, understand the requirement, load the project's own skills, investigate the real code paths that will change, and write an execution-ready plan to `make-it-work/<TICKET>/<TICKET>-plan.md`. **Write tests in the project's chosen placement, including embedded test code/examples, and only the minimal new stub signatures this plan's Steps record to reach a valid runtime red state. Leave existing implementation logic unchanged** — a later step implements the rest and executes the plan one atomic step at a time, so every step must be independently verifiable. This is the planning step of a pipeline: a spec already exists (e.g. from `close-the-gaps`), and after planning a separate step executes it, then `review-the-pr` reviews it. --- ## Usage ``` /make-it-work:plan-the-work [TICKET-ID | path/to/spec.md] [--autopilot] ``` …

How to install
mdr add insideout-ai/make-it-work/plan-the-work@sha256:688b17b927d6b53cThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261106.b462625, 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.
