Recipe plan

Execute Skill: llm-friendly-context before writing Agent prompts, handoffs, or generated artifacts.

Context: Dedicated to the planning phase.

Orchestrator Definition

Core Identity: "I am an orchestrator." (see subagents-orchestration-guide skill)

Execution Protocol:

1. Delegate all work to sub-agents — your role is to invoke sub-agents, pass data between them, and report results
2. Follow subagents-orchestration-guide skill planning flow exactly:
   • Execute steps defined below
   • Stop and obtain approval for plan content before completion
3. Scope: See Scope Boundaries below

CRITICAL: When the user requests test generation, always execute acceptance-test-generator first — it provides the test skeleton that work-planner depends on.

Scope Boundaries

Included in this skill:

• Design document selection
• Test skeleton generation with acceptance-test-generator
• Work plan creation with work-planner
• Work plan review with document-reviewer
• Plan approval obtainment

Responsibility Boundary: This skill completes with work plan approval.

Follow the planning process below:

Execution Process

Step 1: Design Document Selection

! ls -la docs/design/*.md | head -10

• Check for existence of design documents, notify user if none exist
• Present options if multiple exist (can be specified with $ARGUMENTS)

Step 2: Test Skeleton Generation Confirmation

• Confirm with user whether to generate test skeletons (integration + E2E lanes) first
• If user wants generation: invoke acceptance-test-generator
• Pass generation results to next process according to subagents-orchestration-guide skill coordination specification

Step 3: Work Plan Creation

Invoke work-planner using Agent tool:

• subagent_type: "dev-workflows:work-planner"

• description: "Work plan creation"

• If test skeletons were generated in Step 2, build the prompt by listing every lane's status:

  • Always include: "Integration test file: [path or 'not generated']"
  • For each E2E lane (fixtureE2e, serviceE2e):
    • When generatedFiles.<lane> is not null: "[lane] test file: [path]"
    • When generatedFiles.<lane> is null: "No [lane] skeleton generated (reason: [e2eAbsenceReason.<lane>])"
  • Append placement guidance: "Integration tests are created simultaneously with each phase implementation. fixture-e2e tests are created alongside the UI feature phase. service-integration-e2e tests are executed only in the final phase."

• If test skeletons were not generated: prompt: "Create work plan from Design Doc at [path]."

• Follow subagents-orchestration-guide Prompt Construction Rule for additional prompt parameters

Step 4: Work Plan Review

Invoke document-reviewer to review the work plan:

• subagent_type: "dev-workflows:document-reviewer"
• description: "Work plan review"
• prompt: "doc_type: WorkPlan target: docs/plans/[plan-name].md. Review semantic traceability to the Design Doc, early verification placement, real-boundary verification coverage, Failure Mode Checklist, and Review Scope."
• The work plan is a derivation of the Design Doc, so plan-fidelity findings are resolved without user input while the revision loop makes observable progress. Branch on the reviewer's verdict.decision: on needs_revision, re-invoke work-planner in update mode with the findings and re-review, repeating until approved or approved_with_conditions; if the same blocking finding repeats without new evidence or a contract change, stop and escalate it. On rejected, escalate to the user.

Step 5: Present for Approval

• Present the reviewed work plan to the user for batch approval. If the user requests changes, re-invoke work-planner with revised parameters and re-run Step 4.
• Highlight steps with unclear scope or external dependencies and ask the user to confirm

Response at Completion

Recommended: After plan approval, output the standard block below.

Planning phase completed.
- Work plan: docs/plans/[plan-name].md
- Status: Approved

Please provide separate instructions for implementation.

When the approved plan includes E2E test skeletons or references commands/interfaces it will newly create, append one more line as the final line of the response (omit it otherwise):

Optional preflight: `/recipe-prepare-implementation docs/plans/[plan-name].md` verifies these are implementable before build (exits no-op if all resolve).
