Extract Plan MD

Sync plan.md with plan.json content. Use this skill after ANY edit to plan.json.

IMPORTANT: When to Use

REQUIRED after plan.json edits:

  • After using the Edit tool on plan.json → run this skill to sync plan.md
  • After programmatically modifying plan.json content field
  • After plan amendments, task status changes, or any plan modifications

Also use for:

  • User requests to sync/extract/convert plan.json to markdown
  • Reviewing a plan outside of the JSON structure
  • Sharing the plan with others who don't need the structured JSON fields

Usage

To sync plan.md with plan.json:

python3 ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/extract.py /path/to/plan.json

The script:

  1. Reads the plan.json file
  2. Extracts the content key (which contains the full markdown plan)
  3. Fixes any escaped line breaks (\n -> actual newlines)
  4. Writes to plan.md in the same directory as the plan.json

Examples

After editing plan.json, sync plan.md:

python3 ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/extract.py .closedloop-ai/work/plan.json
# Updates .closedloop-ai/work/plan.md to match

Extract from a specific plan:

python3 ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/extract.py ~/work/plan.json
# Creates/updates ~/work/plan.md
