quick-plan
From the author
Use when you need a bite-sized, TDD-driven implementation plan but do NOT have a brainstorm-beagle spec to plan against. quick-plan reconstructs intent from the current conversation, fans out domain-expert exploration subagents across the codebase, and synthesizes the same plan format write-plan produces — without requiring `.beagle/concepts/<slug>/spec.md`. Triggers on: "quick plan", "plan this out", "plan what we just discussed", "turn this into an implementation plan", "plan this without a spec", "I don't have a spec, just plan it", "write-plan but no spec". Make sure to use this skill whenever the user wants an implementation or TDD plan and there is no spec to plan against — even if they just say "plan it" after discussing a feature. Writes to `.beagle/plans/<slug>/plan.md`. If a finalized spec already exists at `.beagle/concepts/<slug>/spec.md`, prefer write-plan. Does NOT brainstorm specs, write code, or execute the plan — produces the plan document (and an optional handoff prompt) only.

Closest to this one by what they do and when they are used.
- write-planbrycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-SkillsUse when a research design spec exists and the user is ready to translate it into a concrete implementation plan with phased tasks, artifacts, and verification criteria. Produces a research execution plan organized in canonical research phases — collection, preparation, analysis, robustness, writing, submission.Writing★ 4.8K
- brainstorm-beagleexistential-birds/beagleUse when the user has a fuzzy idea and wants to shape it into a concrete project spec before planning or building. Triggers on: "brainstorm this", "I have an idea for...", "help me think through this project", "what should I build", "spec this out". Also catches vague feature descriptions needing structured questioning to clarify scope. Does NOT write code, plan implementation, review strategy docs, or run strategy interviews — produces a WHAT/WHY spec through dialogue, not a HOW plan.Planning★ 84
- resolve-beagleexistential-birds/beagleUse as the follow-up to brainstorm-beagle when a spec has an Open Questions section (or quietly carries latent gaps) that need closing before planning or implementation can begin. Triggers on: "resolve the open questions", "close the gaps in this spec", "research the open items", "finalize my spec", "make this spec implementation-ready", "answer the TBDs". Also triggers whenever the user points at a brainstorm-beagle spec and asks for research, proposals, or answers to unresolved items. Orchestrates parallel research subagents when available (falls back to inline sequential research otherwise), proposes answers one at a time for user approval, then rewrites the spec in place so it arrives at planning with no known gaps. Does NOT write code, design implementation, or create plans — it only produces a complete spec.Design★ 84
- writing-plansGanyuanRan/AegisUse when you have an approved spec or written requirements for a multi-step task that needs a durable plan document before touching code. Small, single-owner, or fast-path tasks do not need this skill.Writing★ 1.4K
- give-planavibebuilder/claude-primeUse when the user wants a written, reviewable plan or spec produced before coding starts. Triggers on: mapping out changes without implementing, thinking through risks of upgrades or migrations, evaluating approaches before committing to one, writing specs for team review, phasing work into stages, or any request that explicitly defers coding ('don't implement yet', 'before we build'). The distinguishing signal is that the user wants a plan artifact — not implementation, not a conversational answer. MUST activates inside Claude's native plan mode to have a better planning behavior.Planning★ 120
- brainstormhashgraph-online/awesome-codex-pluginsExplore ideas, compare approaches, and produce a validated spec before planning. Use when the user describes what to build, asks how to approach something, proposes a new feature or design change, or needs to explore options before implementation.Planning★ 1.4K
