# SDD Planning Sub-Skill

**Documentation planning phase of Specification-Driven Development.**

**Communication: User's language. Docs/code: English.**

---

## Philosophy

**"Intent is the source of truth"** - specification is the main artifact, code is implementation.

**No Time Estimates:** Use complexity (Low/Medium/High) + token estimates (~Xk).

---

## Scope

This sub-skill handles:
- Writing specifications (WHAT + WHY)
- Creating design documents (HOW)
- Breaking down implementation plans (TASKS)
- Task creation and templating
- Workflow documentation
