Use when creating or refining a structured Java implementation plan from trusted issue summaries, approved designs, ADRs, OpenSpec changes, existing plans, or a valid combination. The plan records its source artifacts and derivation direction and can remain the execution artifact without requiring OpenSpec. This should trigger for requests such as Create a plan from an issue; Create a plan from OpenSpec; Design an implementation plan; Refine an existing plan. Part of Plinth Toolkit.

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

# Composable Java Implementation Planning

Create or refine a structured implementation plan from the authoritative artifacts already available. **This is an interactive SKILL**. OpenSpec is an optional input or downstream artifact, never a prerequisite.

**What is covered in this Skill?**

- Input from trusted issue summaries, approved designs, ADRs, OpenSpec changes, existing plans, or valid combinations
- Concern-specific source authority and conflict detection
- Source-artifact and derivation-direction recording
- Technical approach, sequence, dependencies, risks, verification, and execution instructions
- Structured milestones and parallel work
- Plan-only execution without OpenSpec
- Controlled updates that never silently rewrite source artifacts

## Constraints

Gather context before drafting, preserve source authority, and make derivation explicit. A plan may stand alone and MUST NOT require OpenSpec.

- **MANDATORY**: Run `date` before starting to get the date prefix for the plan filename
- **MUST**: Read the reference template fresh
- **MUST**: Accept issue, approved design, ADR, OpenSpec, existing plan, or combined inputs

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add jabrena/plinth/041-planning-plan-mode@sha256:9a7fae92d04a870d

The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.19.0, 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.
