What it does

Writing Plans is an agent skill from 6BNBN/FlowPilot. Use when the user wants a written implementation plan in Cursor before editing code, especially for multi-step tasks or changes touching several files.

Its SKILL.md is about 310 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Planning. The repository describes itself as: 一句需求,自动拆任务、并行多代理写码、断点恢复、验证收尾。FlowPilot 让 Claude Code / Codex / Cursor / snow-cli 进入真正的自动开发流程。 The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user wants a written implementation plan in Cursor before editing code
  • Especially for multi-step tasks
  • Changes touching several files

Example prompts

  • “/writing-plans”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Restate the objective.
  2. Review enough project context to avoid a fantasy plan.
  3. Break the work into small, concrete tasks.
  4. Include exact file paths when known.
  5. Include test or verification commands when they are relevant.
  6. Flag open questions instead of inventing answers.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 57b1d49. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Writing Plans loads about 305 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 41 tokens; SKILL.md has 150 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~41
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~305

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Writing Plans

Goal

Create an implementation plan that another developer or future session can execute without guessing.

What A Good Plan Contains

  • Goal and scope
  • Files likely to change
  • Ordered tasks
  • Verification steps
  • Risks, constraints, or assumptions

Workflow

  1. Restate the objective.
  2. Review enough project context to avoid a fantasy plan.
  3. Break the work into small, concrete tasks.
  4. Include exact file paths when known.
  5. Include test or verification commands when they are relevant.
  6. Flag open questions instead of inventing answers.
  • Goal
  • Constraints
  • Proposed file changes
  • Task list
  • Verification plan
  • Risks or open questions

Rules

  • Prefer task sizes that are easy to execute and review.
  • Avoid vague steps like "handle edge cases"; name the actual edge cases.
  • If implementation should wait for user approval, say so clearly.
  • Save the plan to docs/plans/YYYY-MM-DD-<topic>.md when the task is substantial or the user wants a durable artifact.
