Write implementation plans for confirmed Forge issues. Use this skill whenever an issue needs a plan before coding begins — exploring the codebase, identifying affected files, and writing step-by-step implementation instructions into the issue's plan field. Triggers on: /forge-plan, planning issues, writing implementation plans, exploring codebase for an issue, preparing issues for development, moving issues from confirmed to approved. Also use when the pipeline needs to advance an issue from confirmed status.

From the source SKILL.md

The second step in the issue pipeline: confirmed → approved. Turns a triaged issue into a concrete implementation plan a coding agent can follow without re-exploring the codebase.

What this skill does

Forge Plan is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the general-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/forge-plan/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
