contextkit-planning-trigger
Natural language wrapper for ContextKit planning commands - automatically triggers /ctxk:plan commands when users request planning assistance
When & Why to Use This Skill
The contextkit-planning-trigger is a specialized Claude skill designed to bridge the gap between natural language intent and structured project management. By acting as an intelligent wrapper for ContextKit, it automatically detects planning-related requests—such as architectural research, task decomposition, or strategy formulation—and routes them to the appropriate execution commands. This skill optimizes the developer workflow by eliminating the need for manual command entry, ensuring that project planning is both intuitive and highly structured.
Use Cases
- Rapid Feature Planning: Instantly trigger a high-level implementation strategy by asking Claude to 'plan this feature' without needing to remember specific slash commands.
- Automated Technical Research: Streamline the evaluation of technology stacks and architectural options through natural language prompts like 'research tech options'.
- Structured Task Decomposition: Automatically break down complex engineering requirements into actionable, step-by-step implementation guides to improve project clarity.
- Technical Specification Generation: Seamlessly transition from a conceptual discussion to a detailed technical specification by identifying planning intents in the conversation.

Type: ANALYSIS-ONLY DAIC Modes: DISCUSS, ALIGN, IMPLEMENT, CHECK (all modes) Priority: Medium
Trigger Reference
This skill activates on:
- Keywords: "plan this", "how should I approach", "create plan", "quick plan", "break down into steps", "research tech", "planning", "approach", "strategy", "implementation plan"
- Intent Patterns:
(plan|approach|strategy).*(this|feature|task),how.*?(approach|implement|structure),break.*?down.*?steps,research.*(tech|technology|options),create.*(plan|strategy)
From: skill-rules.json - contextkit-planning-trigger configuration
Purpose
Automatically trigger ContextKit planning commands (/ctxk:plan:quick, /ctxk:plan:1-spec, /ctxk:plan:2-research-tech, /ctxk:plan:3-steps) when users request planning assistance using natural language.
Core Behavior
In any DAIC mode:
Planning Intent Detection
- Detect planning requests from natural language
- Route to appropriate ContextKit planning command
Command Routing
- Quick planning: "plan this feature" →
/ctxk:plan:quick - Detailed spec: "create detailed spec" →
/ctxk:plan:1-spec - Tech research: "research technology options" →
/ctxk:plan:2-research-tech - Implementation steps: "break down into steps" →
/ctxk:plan:3-steps
- Quick planning: "plan this feature" →
Natural Language Examples
Triggers this skill:
- ✓ "Plan this feature"
- ✓ "How should I approach this?"
- ✓ "Break down into steps"
- ✓ "Research tech options"
- ✓ "Create implementation plan"
Safety Guardrails
ANALYSIS-ONLY RULES:
- ✓ NEVER call write tools
- ✓ Only invokes ContextKit planning commands (read-only)
- ✓ Safe to run in any DAIC mode
