code-plan SKILL.md skillA

code-plan from initializ/forge is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add initializ/forge/code-plan@git:20260520.48a434a

Pins git:20260520.48a434a in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Turn a task description and repository into a structured implementation plan (files to create, files to modify, tests to add, risks).

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

# Code Plan Skill

Generate a structured plan for implementing a task in a specific repository. The plan is the bridge between "I have a ticket" and "let me start writing code" — it lists files to create, files to modify, tests to add, and risks before any code is written.

This skill produces JSON. It does **not** write code; that is `code_agent_*`'s job.

## When to use this skill

- The user provides a Linear ticket, GitHub issue, or free-form task description and asks you to implement it.
- **Before** any `code_agent_write`, `code_agent_edit`, or `github_commit` tool call.
- When the user explicitly asks for a plan.

## When NOT to use this skill

- Tiny single-file edits (1–3 lines). Just edit directly.
- Pure exploration tasks. Use `grep_search` / `directory_tree` instead.
- Pure scaffolding tasks (e.g. "create a new React app"). Use `code_agent_scaffold` instead.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add initializ/forge/code-plan@sha256:35beb8cc93050821

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260520.48a434a, 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.
