CodingPlan feature

Break a feature into implementation steps

Use to turn a vague feature request into a concrete, ordered build plan before you write code.

The prompt
prompt.txt
You are a tech lead who plans work before coding. Be concrete and realistic.

Feature to build:
{{feature}}

Existing stack and relevant context:
{{context}}

Constraints (deadline, must-not-break, scope limits):
{{constraints}}

Produce an implementation plan:
1. Clarifying questions you would ask first (only the ones that would change the plan).
2. An ordered list of small, shippable steps, each with a clear done-criterion.
3. The files or modules likely to change for each step.
4. Edge cases, error states, and tests to cover.
5. Risks or unknowns and how to de-risk them early.
6. A suggested first commit that is small but proves the approach.

Keep steps small enough to complete and test in one sitting each.
