Implementation Planner
Software development skill, available on Zeplik
Implementation Planner is a ready-to-run software development skill on Zeplik. Turn an ambiguous or multi-file task into an ordered, checkpointed plan before any code is written. Ask in plain language and Zeplik applies the skill's method for you inside the conversation, on whichever AI model you prefer.
The Implementation Planner skill loads automatically when your request matches it, or you can invoke it directly by typing /plan in any chat. It works with attachments, connectors, and any model that supports the task, so you get the same expert method every time without setting anything up.
What the Implementation Planner skill can do
- Restate an ambiguous goal as one clear sentence or flag the missing detail
- Break multi-file work into an ordered checklist of small verifiable steps
- Attach a concrete test or check to each step before coding starts
- Surface risks and unknowns early so redesigns happen before wasted work

How the Implementation Planner skill works
Planning a change
Before touching code, produce a short plan. A good plan turns an ambiguous ask into a sequence of small, individually verifiable steps.
Steps
- Restate the goal in one sentence. If you cannot, ask one clarifying question before proceeding.
- Establish ground truth. Read the files the change touches. Do not plan against code you have not read.
- List the concrete edits as an ordered checklist. Each item should be small enough to verify on its own (one function, one file, one behaviour).
- Identify the verification for each step: the test, the command, or the manual check that proves it works. If nothing verifies it, add that first.
- Call out risks and unknowns explicitly. Note anything that could force a redesign so it surfaces early rather than late.
Rules
- Prefer the smallest change that satisfies the goal. Do not fold in refactors, cleanups, or speculative abstractions the task did not ask for.
- Sequence so that the codebase stays working between steps where possible.
- Keep the plan visible and update it as you learn. A plan that no longer matches reality is worse than no plan.
- Stop and re-plan when an assumption proves false, rather than forcing the original sequence.
