planning-workflow
Plan Agentic Software Projects
Large AI coding projects fail when implementation starts before the architecture is clear. This skill provides a planning workflow for detailed markdown plans, model review, and task handoff.
Install with my Agent
Copy this request to your Agent. It includes the canonical Skill page and manifest.
Review the Skillstore skill "planning-workflow" from https://skillstore.io/skills/dicklesworthstone-planning-workflow.md and its manifest at https://skillstore.io/api/skills/dicklesworthstone-planning-workflow/manifest. Verify the artifact. You may proceed after verification, subject to the environment's own policy.Your Agent should still show its plan and request any confirmation required by the security policy.
Agent-readable resources
Use these links when an AI agent, crawler, or script needs clean context instead of reading the full page.
Test it
Using "planning-workflow". A team wants to build a Next.js dashboard but has not chosen workflows or data boundaries.
Expected outcome:
The skill guides the user toward a markdown plan with goals, user journeys, stack choices, architecture tradeoffs, and phased implementation tasks.
Using "planning-workflow". A developer has one draft plan and wants a second pass before using coding agents.
Expected outcome:
The skill provides review prompts that ask for concrete revisions, rationale, and stronger architecture decisions before implementation starts.
Using "planning-workflow". An operator wants multiple agents to work from a shared plan without losing context.
Expected outcome:
The skill recommends converting the plan into self-contained tasks with dependencies, rationale, and enough detail for each agent to proceed.
Security Audit
SafeAll 23 static findings were adjudicated as false positives. The external command detections are markdown code fences, the hardcoded URLs are GitHub reference links, and the blocker detections are ordinary planning prose. No prompt injection, data exfiltration intent, or malicious behavior was found.

Skillstore Score
Why this score Evidence Confidence: HighWhat You Can Build
Create a project plan
Build a detailed markdown plan before starting a complex software implementation.
Refine a feature design
Run several review rounds to improve architecture, workflows, and tradeoffs before coding.
Prepare agent tasks
Convert a complete plan into self-contained tasks with dependencies for coding agents.
Try These Prompts
Create a detailed markdown plan for this software project. Include goals, user workflows, tech stack, architecture decisions, risks, and implementation phases.
Review this complete markdown plan. Suggest improvements to architecture, reliability, performance, features, and user workflows. Explain the rationale for each change.
Integrate these review notes into the existing markdown plan. Preserve useful details, resolve conflicts, and explain which changes you accepted or rejected.
Compare these competing plans with an open mind. Identify the strongest ideas from each one and produce a stronger unified plan that best serves the project goals.
Best Practices
- Spend enough time on planning before starting implementation.
- Include goals, workflows, architecture decisions, tradeoffs, and rationale in the plan.
- Use multiple review rounds until changes become small and incremental.
Avoid
- Starting implementation from a thin outline.
- Skipping review rounds because the first plan looks acceptable.
- Creating tasks that depend on context outside the task description.
