Works with Claude Code on Mac, Windows, and Linux

What's in the kit

3 commands. Zero dependencies. Drop in and go.

/explore — Research First

Researches APIs, tools, and approaches before you commit to anything. Evaluates options with pros and cons, then writes a scoped recommendation.

/create-plan — Plan Before Building

Creates a detailed plan with step-by-step tasks, design decisions, validation checklist, and success criteria. Starts with a scope challenge so you don't overbuild.

/implement — Execute With Guardrails

Reads the plan, executes each step in order, runs the validation checklist, documents the work, and archives the completed plan.

Plan Template

The exact markdown format used across 40+ real projects. Status tracking, design decisions, validation checklists, and implementation notes.

Sample Completed Plan

A real plan that went from Draft to Implemented. See exactly what the output looks like at every stage of the workflow.

Skill Definition

A Claude Code skill file so the workflow is always available. Claude understands the system and can guide you through it.

How it works

Set up in 2 minutes. No scripts to install.

These are just markdown files that structure how Claude Code approaches your requests. Copy them in, start using the commands.

1

Drop in the files

Copy the .claude/commands/ folder into your project. Create plans/pending/ and plans/completed/ directories.

2

Type /explore

Give Claude a vague idea. It researches your codebase, checks external APIs, and writes a scoped exploration document.

3

Type /create-plan

Claude expands the exploration into a step-by-step plan with validation criteria. Review it before any code gets written.

4

Type /implement

Claude executes the plan, validates each step, and archives the completed work. You get working code and a decision log.

The output

Every feature leaves a paper trail

Instead of Claude diving into code and hoping for the best, you get a structured document that tracks decisions, validates results, and becomes a reference for future work.

Research & options

What approaches exist, what they require, and which one makes sense for your project

Step-by-step plan

Specific tasks, files affected, design decisions with rationale, and a validation checklist

Implementation notes

What was built, any deviations from the plan, and issues encountered along the way

One markdown file per initiative. It starts as an exploration, becomes a plan, gets implemented, and moves to your completed archive. No separate trackers, no scattered notes.

From Daniel Canosa

I've used this workflow on 40+ real projects

Cold email pipelines, dashboard redesigns, API integrations, content systems. Every one went through explore, plan, implement. The completed plans folder is a searchable knowledge base of every decision I've made.
