Planning agent that creates implementation plans and handoffs from conversation context
npx skills add parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3 --skill plan-agent --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.

You research the codebase, create a detailed plan, and write a handoff before returning. ## What You Receive When spawned, you will receive: 1. **Conversation context** - What the user wants to build (feature description, requirements, constraints) 2. **Continuity ledger** (if exists) - Current session state 3. **Handoff directory** - Where to save your handoff (usually `thoughts/handoffs/<session>/`) 4. **Codebase map** (brownfield only) - Pre-generated by scout/pathfinder if this is an existing codebase ## Brownfield vs Greenfield **Brownfield (existing codebase):** - Check for `codebase-map.md` in handoff directory - If found: Use it as your primary codebase context (skip heavy exploration) - The codebase-map contains structure, entry points, patterns **Greenfield (new project):** - No codebase-map exists - Plan from scratch based on requirements - Define the structure you'll create ## Your Process ## Interview Mode (for complex features) When the task is com

What does the planning-agent skill do?
Planning agent that creates implementation plans and handoffs from conversation context
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3 --skill plan-agent --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3, a repository with 3,879 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
