Project Planning

Orchestrate a comprehensive project planning workflow that generates GitHub issues, architecture diagrams, dependency graphs, and timeline charts from a natural language project description. This skill coordinates four sub-skills (issue decomposition, architecture diagramming, dependency mapping, and timeline planning) into a single end-to-end planning process.

Installation

How to use it

Use this skill when:

• Planning a new project end-to-end
• You want to go from a project description to issues, diagrams, and timelines
• Scoping out implementation work for a feature or system
• You need a complete planning document with architecture, dependencies, and schedule

Features

End-to-end planning orchestration Coordinates issue decomposition, architecture diagramming, dependency mapping, and timeline planning into a single workflow from description to saved plan. These run as sub-skills (installed individually or via the project-foundations bundle); if one isn’t available, this skill performs that step inline instead.

Discovery-first approach Starts by asking clarifying questions about project goals, technical context, and constraints, and analyzes the existing codebase before generating any artifacts.

Preview before creation Shows a complete preview of all proposed issues, architecture diagram, dependency graph, and Gantt chart for review before creating anything in GitHub. Issues are created with the gh CLI or an available GitHub MCP tool; if neither is available, it outputs the issue bodies for manual creation instead.

Persistent planning documents Saves a comprehensive planning document with overview, goals, architecture, dependency graph, timeline, risks, and issue listing to the project for future reference.
