# Create Plan (Codex Native Superpowers)
|
|
|
|
Create and maintain a local plan workspace under `ai_plan/` at project root.
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
|
|
This skill wraps the current Superpowers flow for Codex:
|
|
1. Design first with `superpowers:brainstorming`
|
|
2. Then build an implementation plan with `superpowers:writing-plans`
|
|
3. Persist a local execution package in `ai_plan/YYYY-MM-DD-<short-title>/`
|
|
|
|
**Core principle:** Codex uses native skill discovery from `~/.agents/skills/`. Do not use deprecated `superpowers-codex bootstrap` or `use-skill` CLI commands.
|
|
|
|
## Prerequisite Check (MANDATORY)
|
|
|
|
Required:
|
|
- Superpowers skills symlink: `~/.agents/skills/superpowers -> ~/.codex/superpowers/skills`
|
|
- `superpowers:brainstorming`
|
|
- `superpowers:writing-plans`
|
|
|
|
Verify before proceeding:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
test -L ~/.agents/skills/superpowers
|
|
test -f ~/.agents/skills/superpowers/brainstorming/SKILL.md
|
|
test -f ~/.agents/skills/superpowers/writing-plans/SKILL.md
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If any dependency is missing, stop and return:
|
|
|
|
`Missing dependency: native Superpowers skills are required (superpowers:brainstorming, superpowers:writing-plans). Ensure ~/.agents/skills/superpowers is configured, then retry.`
|
|
|
|
## Required Skill Invocation Rules
|
|
|
|
- Invoke relevant skills through native discovery (no CLI wrapper).
|
|
- Announce skill usage explicitly:
|
|
- `I've read the [Skill Name] skill and I'm using it to [purpose].`
|
|
- For skills with checklists, track checklist items with `update_plan` todos.
|
|
- Tool mapping for Codex:
|
|
- `TodoWrite` -> `update_plan`
|
|
- `Task` subagents -> unavailable in Codex; do the work directly and state the limitation
|
|
- `Skill` -> use native skill discovery from `~/.agents/skills/`
|
|
|
|
## Process
|
|
|
|
### Phase 1: Analyze
|
|
- Explore the codebase and existing patterns.
|
|
|
|
### Phase 2: Gather Requirements
|
|
- Ask questions one at a time until user says ready.
|
|
- Confirm scope, constraints, success criteria, dependencies.
|
|
|
|
### Phase 3: Design (REQUIRED SUB-SKILL)
|
|
|
|
Invoke `superpowers:brainstorming`, then propose 2-3 approaches and recommend one.
|
|
|
|
### Phase 4: Plan (REQUIRED SUB-SKILL)
|
|
|
|
Invoke `superpowers:writing-plans`, then break work into milestones and bite-sized stories.
|
|
|
|
### Phase 5: Initialize Local Plan Workspace (MANDATORY)
|
|
|
|
At project root:
|
|
1. Ensure `ai_plan/` exists. Create it if missing.
|
|
2. Ensure `.gitignore` contains `/ai_plan/`.
|
|
3. If `.gitignore` was changed, commit that change immediately (local commit only).
|
|
|
|
Recommended commit message:
|
|
- `chore(gitignore): ignore ai_plan local planning artifacts`
|
|
|
|
### Phase 6: Generate Plan Files (MANDATORY)
|
|
|
|
Create `ai_plan/YYYY-MM-DD-<short-title>/` with all files below:
|
|
1. `original-plan.md` - copy of original planner-generated plan.
|
|
2. `final-transcript.md` - copy of final planning transcript used to reach approved plan.
|
|
3. `milestone-plan.md` - full implementation spec (from template).
|
|
4. `story-tracker.md` - story/milestone status tracker (from template).
|
|
5. `continuation-runbook.md` - execution instructions and context (from template).
|
|
|
|
Use templates from this skill's `templates/` folder.
|
|
|
|
### Phase 7: Handoff
|
|
|
|
Always instruct the executing agent:
|
|
> Read `ai_plan/YYYY-MM-DD-<short-title>/continuation-runbook.md` first, then execute from that folder.
|
|
|
|
Do not rely on planner-private files during implementation.
|
|
|
|
## Quick Reference
|
|
|
|
| Phase | Action | Required Output |
|
|
|---|---|---|
|
|
| 1 | Analyze codebase/context | Constraints and known patterns |
|
|
| 2 | Gather requirements (one question at a time) | Confirmed scope and success criteria |
|
|
| 3 | Invoke `superpowers:brainstorming` | Chosen design approach |
|
|
| 4 | Invoke `superpowers:writing-plans` | Milestones and bite-sized stories |
|
|
| 5 | Initialize `ai_plan/` + `.gitignore` | Local planning workspace ready |
|
|
| 6 | Build plan package from templates | Full plan folder with required files |
|
|
| 7 | Handoff with runbook-first instruction | Resumable execution context |
|
|
|
|
## Execution Rules to Include in Plan (MANDATORY)
|
|
|
|
- Run lint/typecheck/tests after each milestone.
|
|
- Prefer linting changed files only for speed.
|
|
- Commit locally after each completed milestone (**do not push**).
|
|
- Stop and ask user for feedback.
|
|
- Apply feedback, rerun checks, and commit again.
|
|
- Move to next milestone only after user approval.
|
|
- After all milestones are completed and approved, ask permission to push.
|
|
- Only after approved push: mark plan as completed.
|
|
|
|
## Gitignore Note
|
|
|
|
`ai_plan/` is intentionally local and must stay gitignored. Do not treat inability to commit plan-file updates in `ai_plan/` as a problem.
|
|
|
|
## Common Mistakes
|
|
|
|
- Using deprecated commands like `superpowers-codex bootstrap` or `superpowers-codex use-skill`.
|
|
- Jumping to implementation planning without running `superpowers:brainstorming` first.
|
|
- Asking multiple requirement questions in one message.
|
|
- Forgetting to create/update `.gitignore` for `/ai_plan/`.
|
|
- Omitting one or more required files in the plan package.
|
|
- Handoff without explicit "read runbook first" direction.
|
|
|
|
## Rationalizations and Counters
|
|
|
|
| Rationalization | Counter |
|
|
|---|---|
|
|
| "Bootstrap CLI is faster" | Deprecated for Codex; native discovery is the supported path. |
|
|
| "I can skip brainstorming for small tasks" | Creative/planning work still requires design validation first. |
|
|
| "I don't need `update_plan` for checklist skills" | Checklist tracking is mandatory for execution reliability. |
|
|
| "I can keep plan files outside `ai_plan/`" | This skill standardizes local resumable planning under `ai_plan/`. |
|
|
|
|
## Red Flags - Stop and Correct
|
|
|
|
- You are about to run any `superpowers-codex` command.
|
|
- You started writing milestones before design validation.
|
|
- You did not announce which skill you invoked and why.
|
|
- You are marking planning complete without all required files.
|
|
- Handoff does not explicitly point to `continuation-runbook.md`.
