Overview
create-plan is a GitHub Copilot prompt that guides creation of detailed implementation plans through an interactive, iterative process. It researches the codebase, presents design options, and builds phased plans with success criteria. It never writes a full plan without your approval at each stage.
When to Use
- Starting a new feature that needs structured planning
- Breaking down a large task into phased implementation steps
- When you want the AI to research the codebase before proposing an approach
- Generating implementation plans that separate automated from manual verification
How It Works
- Context gathering: researches the codebase using semantic search and file analysis
- Research and discovery: presents design options, waits for your choice
- Plan structure: gets feedback on phasing before writing details
- Detailed plan: creates the full plan with your confirmation
- Review and iteration: refines based on feedback
Installation
Available as a GitHub Copilot prompt. See the github-copilot-brain repo for setup.
