Plan Write

Quality score: 70/100 · Category: Engineering · Sub-category: testing

Use when a spec has been approved by the user and implementation has not started. Converts the spec into a bite-sized, TDD-structured implementation plan with exact file paths, full code snippets, and explicit commit boundaries. The plan is written as normal prose (not compressed) because downstream execution agents parse it verbatim.
