.claude/skills/writing-plans/<skill_overview> Enhance bd tasks with comprehensive implementation details for engineers with zero codebase context. Expand checklists into explicit steps: which files, complete code examples, exact commands, verification steps. </skill_overview> <rigidity_level> MEDIUM FREEDOM - Follow task-by-task validation pattern, use codebase-investigator for verification. Adapt implementation details to actual codebase state. Never use placeholders or meta-references. </rigidity_level> <quick_reference> | Step | Action | Critical Rule | |------|--------|---------------| | **Identify Scope** | Single task, range, or full epic | No artificial limits | | **Verify Codebase** | Use `codebase-investigator` agent | NEVER verify yourself, report discrepancies | | **Draft Steps** | Write bite-sized (2-5 min) actions | Follow TDD cycle for new features | | **Present to User** | Show COMPLETE expansion FIRST | Then ask for approval | | **Update bd** | `bd update bd-N --design "..."` | Only after user approves | | **Continue** | Move to next task automatically | NO asking permission between tasks | **FORBIDDEN:** Placeholders like `[Full implementation steps as detailed above]` **REQUIRED:** Actual content - complete code, exact paths, real commands </quick_reference> <when_to_use> **Use after hyperpowers:sre-task-refinement or anytime tasks need more detail.** Symptoms: - bd tasks have implementation checklists but need expansion - Engineer needs step-by-step guide with zero context - Want explicit file paths, complete code examples - Need exact verification commands </when_to_use> <the_process> ## 1. Identify Tasks to Expand **User specifies scope:** - Single: "Expand bd-2" - Range: "Expand bd-2 through bd-5" - Epic: "Expand all tasks in bd-1" **If epic:** ```bash bd dep tree bd-1 # View complete dependency tree # Note all child task IDs ``` **Create TodoWrite tracker:** ``` - [ ] bd-2: [Task Title] - [ ] bd-3: [Task Title] ... ``` ## 2.
