Planning worldbuilding
Skill alainator/worldcodex/.claude/skills/planning-worldbuilding
Decomposes a large worldbuilding task into a sequenced plan with concrete steps, target files, verification criteria, and dependency order. Use before building a new civilization, designing a planet, or any task spanning more than 3 files. Triggers on "plan this", "break this down", "how should we approach", "build plan for", or "what is the sequence". Does NOT write content — produces the plan only.From its SKILL.md

Planning Worldbuilding
Break large worldbuilding tasks into sequenced, trackable steps.
When to Use
Any task that will produce more than 3 files.
Process
- Scope: Map files to create/modify, dependencies, existing constraints
- Write Plan: Save to
meta/plans/YYYY-MM-DD-<topic>.md - Review: Present for approval before writing
Task Design Rules
- Each task targets one file
- Tasks have verification criteria
- Dependencies are explicit
- Content is concrete (not "flesh out")
- YAGNI — if not needed for current scope, cut it
Checkpoint Pattern
For 5+ task plans, insert checkpoints every 3-5 tasks for author review.
Out of Scope
Does NOT write content (use /writing-science or /writing-worldbuilding). Does NOT interrogate decisions (use /interrogating-design).
