Converts a PRD or requirements document into a structured, phased implementation plan with individual phase files and granular per-task files written to .context/plans/. Also restructures existing monolithic planning documents into digestible, hierarchical directory structures. Creates a root plan index summarising all phases, a numbered phase file per phase, and a numbered task file per task inside each phase directory. Use when the user asks to create an implementation plan, break down a…

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 Planner

## Mindset

An implementation plan is a **navigable contract between an agent and a codebase**.
Each file answers a single question: "What do I need to do next, how do I do it,
and how do I prove it is done?"

Two failure modes to avoid:

1. **The monolith** — one giant plan.md nobody reads because everything is in one file
2. **The skeleton** — directories with empty READMEs that give no useful signal

The sweet spot is a tree where every node either navigates (README) or implements
(task file), and every leaf has a runnable verification command.

## Quick Start

**Mode 1 — Create a new plan from a PRD:**

```sh
sh scripts/new-plan.sh url-shortener-service
sh scripts/new-phase.sh url-shortener-service 01 workspace-bootstrap
sh scripts/new-task.sh url-shortener-service 01 01 initialise-npm-package
sh scripts/validate-plan.sh url-shortener-service
```

**Mode 2 — Split a monolithic document:**

```sh
# 1. Create hierarchy manually (steps below) or from JSON:
sh scripts/generate-structure.sh --plan plan.json
# 2. Validate before removing source
sh scripts/validate-structure.sh docs/refactoring/phases
```

## When to use each mode

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add pantheon-org/tekhne/implementation-planner@sha256:0655b5aedcfb5950

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.
