make-plan — Phased Implementation Planner

Turns a feature request into a phased, documentation-grounded implementation plan that survives fresh chat contexts.

What it does

  • Puts Claude in an orchestrator role and breaks the request into phases that can each be executed in a new session.
  • Phase 0 is always Documentation Discovery: subagents read real docs, examples and existing patterns to produce an "Allowed APIs" list plus anti-patterns to avoid.
  • Enforces a subagent reporting contract — sources consulted, exact API signatures, exact file paths, copy-ready snippet locations, confidence and known gaps. Reports without sources are rejected and redeployed.
  • Every phase specifies what to build, which docs (file:line) to copy from, a verification checklist, and explicit "do not do this" guards.
  • A final verification phase re-checks docs alignment, greps for bad patterns, and runs tests.

Who it's for

  • Developers running long, multi-session tasks who keep losing context between chats.
  • Anyone burned by an agent inventing API methods or undocumented parameters.
  • Teams that need a handoff-ready plan document with proof steps attached.

Example uses

  1. "Plan the migration of our billing module to SDK v2" → Phase 0 reads the SDK docs, lists only methods that actually exist, then emits per-phase tasks with grep-based verification.
  2. "Plan adding Google sign-in" → cites existing auth patterns by file and line range and frames tasks as "copy this pattern" instead of "rewrite it".
  3. When the work starts from a bug backlog, run oh-my-issues first to cluster issues into design docs, then use make-plan on one slice.

Paste this into Claude to use the skill without installing anything.

Read the instructions in this file and follow them to help me:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/thedotmack/claude-mem/HEAD/openclaw/skills/make-plan/SKILL.md

What I want: (describe your task here)

If Claude can't open the link, open it yourself and paste the contents instead.

↓ If it works for you, download the ZIP below and install it. Then it runs on its own — no pasting each time.

Install in the Claude app (no terminal)
  1. Download the ZIP with the button below.
  2. In Claude, open Settings → Capabilities and turn on 'Code execution and file creation'. (one time)
  3. Go to Customize → Skills → + → 'Upload a skill' and upload the ZIP.
↓ Download ZIP
Install in Claude Code

Let Claude do it — paste this into Claude Code

Install the skill I found on AI Skill Mart.
Copy the openclaw/skills/make-plan folder from the GitHub repo thedotmack/claude-mem into my ~/.claude/skills/make-plan/.
When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.

Install with a command instead

git clone https://github.com/thedotmack/claude-mem.git /tmp/claude-mem && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/make-plan && cp -r /tmp/claude-mem/openclaw/skills/make-plan/* ~/.claude/skills/make-plan/

⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.

  1. Open a terminal.
  2. Create the skills folder: mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
  3. Clone the repo: git clone https://github.com/thedotmack/claude-mem.git /tmp/claude-mem
  4. Copy just this skill: cp -r /tmp/claude-mem/openclaw/skills/make-plan ~/.claude/skills/
  5. (Recommended) copy the sibling skill it references: cp -r /tmp/claude-mem/openclaw/skills/oh-my-issues ~/.claude/skills/ 2>/dev/null
  6. Restart Claude Code and ask something like "make a plan for implementing X" to trigger it.
  7. Verify: ls ~/.claude/skills/make-plan/SKILL.md
