Claude skills for planning and task breakdown: before you install one

Which Claude skill should I use for planning and task breakdown?

Yes: 388 public skills from 205 GitHub repositories mention planning and task breakdown. The best-known ones named for it are planning and task breakdown (addyosmani/agent-skills, ★ 112k), create implementation plan (github/awesome-copilot, ★ 41k) and create github issues feature from implementation plan (github/awesome-copilot, ★ 41k). Stars belong to the whole repository, not to one skill.

How do I add planning and task breakdown to Claude?

For planning and task breakdown, copy the planning-and-task-breakdown folder from addyosmani/agent-skills (the folder that holds SKILL.md) into ~/.claude/skills/ to use it in every Claude Code project, or into .claude/skills/ for one project. For the Claude apps, upload the zipped folder as a custom skill instead.

Are there planning and task breakdown skills in other languages?

No: pm roadmap is written mainly in Chinese, Japanese, Korean or Russian rather than English, though the planning and task breakdown task is the same. Claude can follow it either way, but read it before you install.

What licences do these planning and task breakdown skills use?

Of the 50 planning and task breakdown skills listed here, 45 sit in repositories under an open licence such as MIT or Apache 2.0, and 2, such as project planner and cm ecosystem roadmap, state no licence at all, which legally means you may not reuse them. The licence badge on each card tells you which is which.

Does Anthropic make an official planning and task breakdown skill?

No. None of the 388 planning and task breakdown skills comes from Anthropic's own skills repository, so all of them are community-made across 205 repositories.
