plan-mode

plan-mode is a Planning & task breakdown skill for AI agents, published by espennilsen in the pi repository on GitHub. Skillspace rates plan-mode D (59/100) and it passed the safety scan; the rating is based on static analysis only.

Structured planning mode for AI agents working on coding and development tasks. Produces a comprehensive plan BEFORE any code is written or changed, including task decomposition, architecture decisions, risk assessment, and approval gates. Use this skill whenever the user says "/plan", "plan mode", "plan first", "think before coding", "make a plan", or asks the agent to plan before executing. Also trigger when the user describes a complex multi-step development task and would clearly benefit from structured planning before implementation — especially for tasks involving new features, refactors, migrations, infrastructure changes, or multi-file edits. When in doubt, plan. A few minutes of planning prevents hours of rework.
