name: planning-workflow description: 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. allowed-tools: Read, Write, Edit, Glob, Grep, Bash, WebSearch, WebFetch

Planning Workflow

Overview

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

Component Skills (3):

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

Workflow (3 steps):

1. Plan Architecture - Create comprehensive skill plan
2. Break Down Tasks - Convert plan into concrete tasks
3. 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

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)
