Writing Plans

Turn a spec into a clear, step-by-step plan before any work starts.

Part of Superpowers by @obra

Writing Plans gets Claude to lay out a detailed, step-by-step plan the moment you have a multi-step task — before it touches anything. You see the whole approach up front, can adjust it, and then execution follows the plan instead of wandering off course.

What it does

  • Breaks a spec or set of requirements into clear, ordered steps.
  • Shows you the full plan before any work begins, so you can steer it.
  • Keeps big tasks from turning into improvised messes.

What's in the download

  • SKILL.md — the planning workflow, ready to install.

How to install (2 minutes)

  2. 2In the Claude app: open Settings → Capabilities → Skills, choose Add / Upload, and select the folder (or the .zip).
  3. 3In Claude Code: drop the folder into your project’s .claude/skills/ directory, then type /skills to confirm it loaded.
  4. 4That’s it — the skill activates on its own when it fits what you’re doing.
