Plan Prompts
Generate `.docs/DEVELOPMENT_PLAN.md` and `.docs/EXECUTION_PROMPTS.md` from system, design, architecture, or enhancement docs in a folder or explicit file list. Use when asked "create a development plan from docs", "generate execution prompts", "turn these design docs into milestones", "write DEVELOPMENT_PLAN.md and EXECUTION_PROMPTS.md", "plan implementation from .docs", "create milestone execution prompts", "convert architecture docs into stacked PR prompts", or when given DOCS_DIR / REPO_CONTEXT / GLOBAL_CONSTRAINTS / STACK_DEPTH_HINT placeholders. NOT for auditing an existing plan; use plan-review. NOT for executing the stack; use stacked-prs.
