Use when beginning implementation from a design plan - orchestrates branch creation, detailed planning, and hands off to execution with all necessary context.

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

# Starting an Implementation Plan

## Overview

Orchestrate the transition from design document to executable implementation through planning and execution handoff.

**Core principle:** Branch -> Plan -> Execute. Isolate work, create detailed tasks, hand off to execution.

**Announce at start:** "I'm using the starting-an-implementation-plan skill to create the implementation plan from your design."

## REQUIRED: Design Plan Path

**DO NOT GUESS.** If the user has not provided a path to a design plan, you MUST ask for it.

Use AskUserQuestion:
```
Question: "Which design plan should I create an implementation plan for?"
Options:
  - [list any design plans you find in docs/design-plans/]
  - "Let me provide the path"
```

If `docs/design-plans/` doesn't exist or is empty, ask the user to provide the path directly.

**Never assume, infer, or guess which design plan to use.** The user must explicitly tell you.

## The Process

This skill has three steps:

1. **Branch Setup:** Select and create branch for implementation
2. **Planning:** Create detailed implementation plan
3. **Execution Handoff:** Direct user to execute the plan

**Step 0: Create orchestration task tracker**

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ed3dai/ed3d-plugins/starting-an-implementation-plan@sha256:d83e852d61944bca

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260204.bd4341f, 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.
