Use when you have a spec or requirements for a multi-step task, before touching code.
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
<skill>
<purpose>
Write implementation plans assuming the engineer has zero codebase context and questionable taste. Document everything: which files to touch, code, testing, docs to check. Bite-sized tasks. DRY. YAGNI. TDD. Frequent commits. Assume a skilled developer who knows nothing about this toolset or domain.
</purpose>

<rule>Use after brainstorming produces an approved spec.</rule>

<warning level="soft">
Announce at start: "I'm using the writing-plans skill to create the implementation plan."

<rules>
<rule>**Save plans to:** `docs/bearpaws/plans/YYYY-MM-DD-{feature-name}.md` (user prefs override).</rule>
<rule>**In native planning mode** (the harness blocks project writes until the user approves a plan): build and self-review the plan in the harness's plan artifact. Do not leave native planning mode to save the plan. After approval, save it to the path above with `**Status:** Approved` before the first implementation change.</rule>

How to install
mdr add brandonfla/bearpaws/writing-plans@sha256:37ee7d8cd5537defThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261002.3a8121c, 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.
