Haven’t we moved on from these things? Most recent LLMs have been trained on enough long context tasks to have become pretty good at planning. Perhaps with contributions from the harness. In either case, I wouldn’t bother if I were using Codex or Claude Code.

  They can plan, but no guarantee it will produce what you want. Sometimes most of the work is aligning on what to build. And I'm not handing over technical planning to it yet.
  I use this skill and it makes the specing process progressive. Human driven for the "what", 50/50 for higher level technical planning, only where it has questions in the low level details: <a href="https://github.com/scosman/vibe-crafting" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/scosman/vibe-crafting
