Same command for any agent — swap --agent for claude-code, codex, cursor.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Update Implementation Plan ## Primary Directive You are an AI agent tasked with updating the implementation plan file `${file}` based on new or updated requirements. Your output must be machine-readable, deterministic, and structured for autonomous execution by other AI systems or humans. ## Execution Context This prompt is designed for AI-to-AI communication and automated processing. All instructions must be interpreted literally and executed systematically without human interpretation or clarification. ## Core Requirements - Generate implementation plans that are fully executable by AI agents or humans - Use deterministic language with zero ambiguity - Structure all content for automated parsing and execution - Ensure complete self-containment with no external dependencies for understanding ## Plan Structure Requirements Plans must consist of discrete, atomic phases containing executable tasks. Each phase must be independently processable by AI agents or humans without cross-phase dependencies unless explicitly declared. ## Phase Architecture - Each phase must have measurable completion criteria - Tasks within phases must be executable in parallel unless dependencies are specif

What does the update-implementation-plan skill do?
Update an existing implementation plan file with new or update requirements to provide new features, refactoring existing code or upgrading packages, design, architecture or infrastructure.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add github/awesome-copilot --skill update-implementation-plan --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 github/awesome-copilot, a repository with 37,432 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.
