- no licenseNo license file was found in the repository. Code published without one is not open source by default, so using it at work is a question for whoever answers licensing questions where you are.

Research → Plan → Implement
This skill runs a research-first workflow for unclear or large tasks: research the codebase and docs, then plan, then implement.
Steps
-
Research
- Use the explore subagent (or main agent) to search the codebase and docs for the user’s goal.
- Summarize: what exists, current patterns, what’s missing. Answer what the codebase already does and what would need to change.
-
Plan
- Invoke the planner subagent with the research summary and the user’s goal.
- Capture scope, numbered steps, dependencies, and notes. Do not write code yet.
-
Implement
- Execute the plan step by step. Follow project rules (e.g.
@general-conventions,@api-conventionswhen relevant). - If the user asked for “first N steps only,” implement only those and say what’s left for later.
- Execute the plan step by step. Follow project rules (e.g.
-
Verify (optional)
- Optionally invoke the verifier subagent to confirm the implementation matches the plan, tests pass, and nothing obvious is broken.
- If the user did not ask for verification, you may skip this step and report completion.
Notes
- If the user only asked for research, stop after step 1 and present the research summary.
- If the user only asked for research and plan, stop after step 2 and present the plan.
- Subagents used: explore (built-in), planner, verifier (optional). Written workflow: examples/agent-frameworks/research-plan-implement.md.
