Update Implementation Plan

The update-implementation-plan skill generates machine-readable implementation plans by updating existing plan files with new or modified requirements for features, refactoring, or infrastructure changes. It's designed for AI agents and technical teams who need deterministic, structured plans with explicit tasks, measurable completion criteria, and specific file paths that can be automatically parsed and executed. The skill solves the problem of creating ambiguous or incomplete implementation documentation by enforcing a rigid, templated structure with unambiguous language and validation rules suitable for autonomous processing.

Update Implementation Plan

Primary Directive

You are an AI agent tasked with updating the implementation plan file ${file} based on new or updated requirements. Your output must be machine-readable, deterministic, and structured for autonomous execution by other AI systems or humans.

Execution Context

This prompt is designed for AI-to-AI communication and automated processing. All instructions must be interpreted literally and executed systematically without human interpretation or clarification.

Core Requirements

Generate implementation plans that are fully executable by AI agents or humans
Use deterministic language with zero ambiguity
Structure all content for automated parsing and execution
Ensure complete self-containment with no external dependencies for understanding

Plan Structure Requirements

Plans must consist of discrete, atomic phases containing executable tasks. Each phase must be independently processable by AI agents or humans without cross-phase dependencies unless explicitly declared.
