Is the Dev Planning skill free?

Yes. The skill itself is free from codeaholicguy/ai-devkit. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.

What is the Dev Planning SkillProof Score?

8.8/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 8/10, docs & honesty 4/5.

How do I install Dev Planning?

Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.

Can I use Dev Planning with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?

The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.

Test report

Verdict: Works with setup
Score: 8.8/10
Tested: Jul 13, 2026
Environment: Claude Code 2.x (agent harness)
Upstream re-checked: Aug 10, 2026 · b998de3

Its step 6 ('verify every test-plan scenario has a task') is a real forcing function: on a CSV-export feature, it surfaced a concurrency-handling task for the 'concurrent export requests' test scenario that a plain freeform task list skipped entirely.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

Installs cleanly 5/5
Triggers reliably 5/5
Output vs. baseline 8/10

What Dev Planning does

Converts existing requirements, design, and testing docs into an implementation task plan, and later reconciles that plan against completed work, blockers, and newly discovered scope. Triggers when the user wants to create an implementation plan, update planning docs, mark task progress, or capture blockers within an AI DevKit dev-lifecycle project. Depends on the external `ai-devkit` npx CLI and on sibling lifecycle docs already existing.
