What it does
Dev Planning is an agent skill from codeaholicguy/ai-devkit. AI DevKit · Planning phase guidance for creating and reconciling feature task plans. Use when the user wants to create an implementation plan, update planning docs, mark task progress, capture blockers or new tasks, or run dev-lifecycle planning work.
Its SKILL.md is about 830 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`).
It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Planning. The repository describes itself as: The control plane for AI coding agents. The licence is Apache-2.0.
When your agent uses it
- The user wants to create an implementation plan
- Update planning docs
- Mark task progress
- Capture blockers
Example prompts
- “/dev-planning”
Requirements
- Node.js
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Run npx ai-devkit@latest lint before phase work.
- If working on a named feature, run npx ai-devkit@latest lint --feature .
- Read existing configured planning, implementation, and testing docs before changes. Resolve paths through lint --feature instead of…
- Keep task creation and updates traceable to requirements, design, testing scenarios, completed work, blockers, or newly discovered scope.
- If parent dev-lifecycle established usable task tracing, emit planning phase, progress, blocker/scope, and next-step events per task.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 90dcca0. 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
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
npx
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npx, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
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
Dev Planning loads about 826 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 66 tokens; SKILL.md has 425 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

- description
- AI DevKit · Planning phase guidance for creating and reconciling feature task plans. Use when the user wants to create an implementation plan, update planning docs, mark task progress, capture blockers or new tasks, or run dev-lifecycle planning work.
Dev Planning
Run planning creation and reconciliation for configured AI docs features. Before changing docs, propose the concrete plan for this phase and wait for user approval unless the user already approved the exact phase plan.
Phase Contract
- Run
npx ai-devkit@latest lintbefore phase work. - If working on a named feature, run
npx ai-devkit@latest lint --feature <name>. - Read existing configured planning, implementation, and testing docs before changes. Resolve paths through
lint --featureinstead of assumingdocs/ai. - Keep task creation and updates traceable to requirements, design, testing scenarios, completed work, blockers, or newly discovered scope.
- If parent
dev-lifecycleestablished usable task tracing, emit planning phase, progress, blocker/scope, and next-step events pertask.
Create Initial Plan
Use for Phase 4 after requirements, design, and initial testing docs exist.
- Run
npx ai-devkit@latest lint --feature <name>and identify the planning doc path it validates. Ifdocs init-featurejust ran, use the returned planning path as authoritative. - Read requirements, design, and testing docs for the feature.
- Convert goals, user stories, design components, API/data changes, migration needs, and testing scenarios into implementation tasks.
- Group tasks by milestone or logical sequence.
- For each task, include outcome, dependencies, validation evidence, and related testing scenarios.
- Verify every test-plan scenario has at least one implementation task.
- Add risks, blockers, sequencing notes, and likely follow-up checks.
- Update the planning doc with the initial ordered task list.
- If task tracing is available, record plan progress and next implementation step per
task.
Next: dev-implementation.

Update Planning
Use for Phase 6. Auto-trigger this phase after completing any task in dev-implementation.
- Run
npx ai-devkit@latest lint --feature <name>and reconcile the planning doc path it validates. If manual path resolution is unavoidable, first resolve.ai-devkit.jsonpaths.docs, falling back todocs/ai. - If continuing from implementation, carry forward existing context. Otherwise ask for feature name, completed tasks, new tasks, blockers, and planning doc path.
- Review existing milestones, sequencing, dependencies, and outstanding tasks.
- Reconcile each task: mark status as done, in-progress, blocked, or not started; note scope changes; record blockers; capture skipped or added tasks.
- Update the planning doc with the current status checklist.
- Suggest the next 2-3 actionable tasks, risky areas, and coordination needed.
- If task tracing is available, record completed/blocked/new tasks, blockers, and next action per
task. - Write a summary paragraph for the planning doc covering progress, risks, upcoming focus, and scope changes.
Next: if tasks remain, return to dev-implementation. If all done, run implementation verification before testing and review.
