Transform research findings into actionable implementation plans with stakes-based rigor, test-first strategy, and granular task decomposition.
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
- Before implementing any medium or high stakes changes - When requirements are clear and codebase is understood ## Process 1. **Load research** - Find `*-<topic>-research.md` in `docs/plans/` 2. **Classify stakes** - Low (isolated, reversible), Medium (multiple files), High (architectural) 3. **Define success criteria** - Functional, non-functional, and acceptance criteria 4. **Decompose tasks** - Granular steps with file paths, line references, verification methods 5. **Plan tests** - Test specification as first sub-step per task (test-first) 6. **Assess risks** - Breaking changes, performance, security, dependencies, rollback strategy 7. **Write plan document** - `docs/plans/YYYY-MM-DD-<topic>-plan.md` 8. **Approval gate** - Human approves, requests changes, or returns to research ## Anti-Patterns to Avoid - Vague task descriptions without specific file references - Missing verification criteria for any step - Combining test writing and implementation into single steps - Planning rigor mismatched to stakes level - Proceeding without explicit user approval ## Tool Use Invoke via babysitter process: `methodologies/rpikit/rpikit-plan`

How to install
mdr add a5c-ai/babysitter/plan-writing@sha256:e9268ba03e614906The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260601.da7723a, 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.
