At a glance

Generate technical implementation plans from feature specifications.

  • Works in 2 steps: Outline & Research → Design & Contracts
  • Tasks that involve Spec-driven development
  • SKILL.md covers User Input, Outline, Phases and Key rules
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Speckit Plan is an agent skill from foryourhealth111-pixel/Vibe-Skills. Generate technical implementation plans from feature specifications. Use after creating a spec to define architecture, tech stack, and implementation phases. Creates plan.md with detailed technical design.

Its SKILL.md is about 870 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts. Compatibility notes: Requires spec-kit project structure with .specify/ directory

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Spec-driven development and Planning. The repository describes itself as: Intelligent Skill routing and workflow orchestration for AI agents — +21.12 pp reward, −29.6% tokens on SkillsBench with DeepSeekV4Flash-VE. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Spec-driven development
  • Tasks that involve Planning

Example prompts

  • “/speckit-plan”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Requires spec-kit project structure with .specify/ directory

Workflow steps

2 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Outline & Research
  2. Design & Contracts

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ddcaa2a. 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.

  • Compatibility

    Requires spec-kit project structure with .specify/ directory

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Speckit Plan loads about 870 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 55 tokens; SKILL.md has 343 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~55
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~870

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.

Speckit Plan Skill

User Input

text
$ARGUMENTS

You MUST consider the user input before proceeding (if not empty).

Outline

  1. Setup: Run .specify/scripts/powershell/setup-plan.ps1 -Json from repo root and parse JSON for FEATURE_SPEC, IMPL_PLAN, SPECS_DIR, BRANCH. For single quotes in args like "I'm Groot", use escape syntax: e.g 'I'''m Groot' (or double-quote if possible: "I'm Groot").

  2. Load context: Read FEATURE_SPEC and .specify/memory/constitution.md. Load IMPL_PLAN template (already copied).

  3. Execute plan workflow: Follow the structure in IMPL_PLAN template to:

    • Fill Technical Context (mark unknowns as "NEEDS CLARIFICATION")
    • Fill Constitution Check section from constitution
    • Evaluate gates (ERROR if violations unjustified)
    • Phase 0: Generate research.md (resolve all NEEDS CLARIFICATION)
    • Phase 1: Generate data-model.md, contracts/, quickstart.md
    • Phase 1: Update agent context by running the agent script
    • Re-evaluate Constitution Check post-design
  4. Stop and report: Command ends after Phase 2 planning. Report branch, IMPL_PLAN path, and generated artifacts.

Phases

Phase 0: Outline & Research
  1. Extract unknowns from Technical Context above:

    • For each NEEDS CLARIFICATION → research task
    • For each dependency → best practices task
    • For each integration → patterns task
  2. Generate and dispatch research agents:

    text
    For each unknown in Technical Context:
      Task: "Research {unknown} for {feature context}"
    For each technology choice:
      Task: "Find best practices for {tech} in {domain}"
  3. Consolidate findings in research.md using format:

    • Decision: [what was chosen]
    • Rationale: [why chosen]
    • Alternatives considered: [what else evaluated]

Output: research.md with all NEEDS CLARIFICATION resolved

Show full SKILL.md (141 more words)Show less
Phase 1: Design & Contracts

Prerequisites: research.md complete

  1. Extract entities from feature spec → data-model.md:

    • Entity name, fields, relationships
    • Validation rules from requirements
    • State transitions if applicable
  2. Define interface contracts (if project has external interfaces) → /contracts/:

    • Identify what interfaces the project exposes to users or other systems
    • Document the contract format appropriate for the project type
    • Examples: public APIs for libraries, command schemas for CLI tools, endpoints for web services, grammars for parsers, UI contracts for applications
    • Skip if project is purely internal (build scripts, one-off tools, etc.)
  3. Agent context update:

    • Run .specify/scripts/powershell/update-agent-context.ps1 -AgentType codex
    • These scripts detect which AI agent is in use
    • Update the appropriate agent-specific context file
    • Add only new technology from current plan
    • Preserve manual additions between markers

Output: data-model.md, /contracts/*, quickstart.md, agent-specific file

Key rules

  • Use absolute paths
  • ERROR on gate failures or unresolved clarifications
