Generated planning docs for a toy task-tracker app: the skill version numbered every requirement (REQ-1..4) with SHALL/WHEN/IF acceptance criteria and traced every implementation task back to a requirement ID, while the unguided baseline was a plain bullet list an AI coder would have to interpret loosely. Docs score got knocked down because the README's 'python scripts/generate_project_docs.py' quick-start and the bundled references/domain-templates.md are never actually invoked by SKILL.md's own instructions.
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 9/10
- Docs & honesty 2/5
What Project Planner does
Establishes Claude as a Project Architect and produces three linked planning documents: a requirements doc with SHALL-style acceptance criteria, a design doc with component maps and data flow, and a hierarchical, requirement-traced implementation plan. Triggers when starting a new project, writing specs, designing system architecture, or breaking work into implementable tasks.
How to install Project Planner
git clone https://github.com/adrianpuiu/claude-skills-marketplace

Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/
(per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.

Frequently asked questions
- Is the Project Planner skill free?
- Yes. The skill itself is free from adrianpuiu/claude-skills-marketplace. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.
- Does Project Planner work with Claude Code?
- We tested it with Claude Code 2.x (agent harness) on Jul 13, 2026. Verdict: Tested · Works. Generated planning docs for a toy task-tracker app: the skill version numbered every requirement (REQ-1..4) with SHALL/WHEN/IF acceptance criteria and traced every implementation task back to a requirement ID, while the unguided baseline was a plain bullet list an AI coder would have to interpret loosely. Docs score got knocked down because the README's 'python scripts/generate_project_docs.py' quick-start and the bundled references/domain-templates.md are never actually invoked by SKILL.md's own instructions.
- What is the Project Planner SkillProof Score?
- 8.4/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 9/10, docs & honesty 2/5.
- How do I install Project Planner?
- 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 Project Planner 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.
