Turn the selected specification into a maintained implementation plan with clear outcomes, useful tasks, dependencies, and verification steps. Drafting uses the existing authorization and does not require artifact approval codes, reviewer receipts, or a frozen implementation script.

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

# writing-plans

Produce the plan for the active feature or sprint, then return it to that caller.
Do not execute implementation from this skill. Use the user's existing direction;
ask only about a consequential unresolved outcome, not permission to maintain the
plan. An explicitly requested human checkpoint still belongs to the caller.

## Select the source and representation

Load `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/includes/artifacts.md` for artifact I/O. Read the selected
specification's criterion records and retain its artifact ID and normative digest.
For HTML, `_preflight_plan_authoring` checks that identity, structural validity,
and the same-slug target. Create the matching plan as `draft_preview`; use
`plan-bind` when selecting or refreshing its specification binding. Preserve human
edits and stable references in the selected representation.

Read relevant project context and the build/test commands in
`${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR}/.codearbiter/tech-stack.md`; use
`${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR}/.codearbiter/coding-standards.md` for applicable conventions. In an
HTML-knowledge repository `knowledge.py relevant <paths>` returns both
(`${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/includes/knowledge.md`).

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add arbiterforge/codearbiter/writing-plans@sha256:6d6cf68a2c8f212f

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261025.6e96d09, 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.
