planning-workflow

Productivity

Complete planning workflow orchestrating architecture planning, task breakdown, and progress tracking setup. Sequential workflow from requirements analysis through structure design and task breakdown to implementation tracking. Use when planning complex skills, setting up comprehensive project plans, or preparing for systematic skill development with full planning artifacts.

First, summarize what it does, its dependencies, license status if identifiable, and any risks. Show the exact files you propose to add under .agents/skills/planning-workflow/. Do not write files or run scripts until I approve.

After I approve, install the complete skill folder, including required referenced files, into that project location. Verify it is discoverable, then tell me its actual invocation name and how to use it. Do not claim it is installed until you have verified it.

Planning Workflow

Overview

planning-workflow orchestrates complete planning from requirements through tasks to tracking setup.

Component Skills (3):

planning-architect - Architecture and structure planning
task-development - Task breakdown with estimates
todo-management - Setup progress tracking

Workflow (3 steps):

Plan Architecture - Create comprehensive skill plan
Break Down Tasks - Convert plan into concrete tasks
Setup Tracking - Initialize todo list for execution

Result: Complete planning artifacts ready for implementation

When to Use

Planning complex skills (need comprehensive planning)
Large projects (detailed breakdown needed)
Team projects (clear task assignment)
When thoroughness more important than speed

Planning Workflow

Step 1: Plan Architecture (planning-architect)

Process: Run planning-architect 6-step workflow

Analyze requirements
Choose pattern
Design structure
Plan content
Estimate complexity
Create plan document

Output: skill-architecture-plan.md

Time: 3-5 hours

Step 2: Break Down Tasks (task-development)

Process: Run task-development 5-step workflow using plan from Step 1

Analyze plan
Identify components
Break into tasks
Sequence and dependencies
Create task document

Output: task-breakdown.md

Time: 2-4 hours

Step 3: Setup Tracking (todo-management)

Process: Use todo-management Operation 1 (Initialize)

Create todo list from task breakdown
Set initial states (all pending)
Ready for execution

Output: todo-list.md (ready to track)

Time: 15-30 minutes

Post-Workflow: Begin Implementation

With complete planning artifacts:

Architecture plan guides what to build
Task breakdown guides how to sequence
Todo list tracks progress

Next: Execute implementation following plan and tasks

Quick Reference

The 3-Step Planning Workflow

Step	Skill	Time	Output
1	planning-architect	3-5h	skill-architecture-plan.md
2	task-development	2-4h	task-breakdown.md
3	todo-management	15-30m	todo-list.md

Total Time: 5.5-9.5 hours

When to Use: Complex skills needing thorough planning

Alternative: For simple skills, use planning-architect only (skip task-development)

planning-workflow provides complete planning from requirements to ready-to-execute task list.
