Task Planning

What it does

Provides a structured workflow for agents to create, refine, save, and execute plans when a user asks to plan work. It guides the agent to produce actionable checklist-style steps, request and incorporate user feedback, persist confirmed plans as markdown files, and track progress through checked items during execution. Ideal for multi-step tasks like feature development, deployment checklists, or complex operations where explicit confirmation is required.

When to use it

Use this skill when a user explicitly asks the agent to create a plan (e.g., "make a plan", "plan first", "create a plan"). Also appropriate when a task requires iterative feedback before execution or when progress tracking and saving of plans is needed.

What's included

• Scripts: none
• References: none
• Instructions: step-by-step guidance for drafting an initial plan as a markdown checklist, looping for user feedback until confirmation, saving the confirmed plan to a plans directory, and executing steps sequentially while updating the plan file.

Compatible agents

This is agent-agnostic procedural guidance but is especially useful for agents that can read/write files and perform scripted steps (e.g., Code-enabled agents like Copilot/GitHub Copilot, Codex, or other code-capable assistants).
