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 — never writing 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.
