Create a final implementation-ready plan from a user brief, settled decisions, and repository evidence. Use when work needs ordered phases, concrete deliverables, dependencies, risks, and validation before coding.

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 Creation

Synthesize an implementation-ready plan rather than repeating discovery, architecture sparring, or research.

## Workflow

1. Confirm the brief, authoritative repository evidence, applicable instructions, output location, and whether writing a repository plan file is authorized.
2. Identify only decisions whose absence changes the implementation path. Resolve them with the user or record a blocker; keep safe assumptions explicit.
3. Use `architecture-refine` for unresolved architecture decisions and `technical-spike` for blocking unfamiliar or version-sensitive behavior. When an autonomous delivery workflow calls this skill, follow that workflow's rule for open decisions instead of asking the user.
4. Lock ownership boundaries, non-goals, compatibility, rollout order, validation gates, risks, and unresolved blockers.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add yarlson/yarstack/plan-create@sha256:b718bb7b21c4fd4c

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261019.2df68b2, 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.
