# Basecamp
|
||||
|
||||
Manage work projects in Basecamp via MCP server. Provides workflows for project overview, todo management, kanban boards, and syncing from plan-writing skill.
|
||||
|
||||
## Quick Reference
|
||||
|
||||
| Action | Command Pattern |
|
||||
| --------------- | -------------------------------------- |
|
||||
| List projects | "Show my Basecamp projects" |
|
||||
| View project | "What's in [project name]?" |
|
||||
| Create todos | "Add todos to [project]" |
|
||||
| View card table | "Show kanban for [project]" |
|
||||
| Move card | "Move [card] to [column]" |
|
||||
| Search | "Search Basecamp for [query]" |
|
||||
| Sync plan | "Create Basecamp todos from this plan" |
|
||||
|
||||
## Core Workflows
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Project Overview
|
||||
|
||||
List and explore projects:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
1. get_projects → list all projects
|
||||
2. Present summary: name, last activity
|
||||
3. User selects project
|
||||
4. get_project(id) → show dock items (todosets, card tables, message boards)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Example output:**
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Your Basecamp Projects:
|
||||
1. Q2 Training Program (last activity: 2 hours ago)
|
||||
2. Website Redesign (last activity: yesterday)
|
||||
3. Product Launch (last activity: 3 days ago)
|
||||
|
||||
Which project would you like to explore?
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Todo Management
|
||||
|
||||
**View todos:**
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
1. get_project(id) → find todoset from dock
|
||||
2. get_todolists(project_id) → list all todo lists
|
||||
3. get_todos(project_id, todolist_id) → show todos with status
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Create todos:**
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
1. Identify target project and todo list
|
||||
2. For each todo:
|
||||
create_todo(
|
||||
project_id,
|
||||
todolist_id,
|
||||
content,
|
||||
due_on?, # YYYY-MM-DD format
|
||||
assignee_ids?, # array of person IDs
|
||||
notify? # boolean
|
||||
)
|
||||
3. Confirm creation with links
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Complete/update todos:**
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
- complete_todo(project_id, todo_id) → mark done
|
||||
- uncomplete_todo(project_id, todo_id) → reopen
|
||||
- update_todo(project_id, todo_id, content?, due_on?, assignee_ids?)
|
||||
- delete_todo(project_id, todo_id) → remove
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Card Table (Kanban) Management
|
||||
|
||||
**View board:**
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
1. get_card_table(project_id) → get card table details
|
||||
2. get_columns(project_id, card_table_id) → list columns
|
||||
3. For each column: get_cards(project_id, column_id)
|
||||
4. Present as kanban view
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Example output:**
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Card Table: Development Pipeline
|
||||
|
||||
| Backlog (3) | In Progress (2) | Review (1) | Done (5) |
|
||||
|-------------|-----------------|------------|----------|
|
||||
| Feature A | Feature B | Bug fix | ... |
|
||||
| Feature C | Feature D | | |
|
||||
| Refactor | | | |
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Manage columns:**
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
- create_column(project_id, card_table_id, title)
|
||||
- update_column(project_id, column_id, title) → rename
|
||||
- move_column(project_id, card_table_id, column_id, position)
|
||||
- update_column_color(project_id, column_id, color)
|
||||
- put_column_on_hold(project_id, column_id) → freeze work
|
||||
- remove_column_hold(project_id, column_id) → unfreeze
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Manage cards:**
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
- create_card(project_id, column_id, title, content?, due_on?, notify?)
|
||||
- update_card(project_id, card_id, title?, content?, due_on?, assignee_ids?)
|
||||
- move_card(project_id, card_id, column_id) → move to different column
|
||||
- complete_card(project_id, card_id)
|
||||
- uncomplete_card(project_id, card_id)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Card steps (subtasks):**
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
- get_card_steps(project_id, card_id) → list subtasks
|
||||
- create_card_step(project_id, card_id, title, due_on?, assignee_ids?)
|
||||
- complete_card_step(project_id, step_id)
|
||||
- update_card_step(project_id, step_id, title?, due_on?, assignee_ids?)
|
||||
- delete_card_step(project_id, step_id)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Search
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
search_basecamp(query, project_id?)
|
||||
- Omit project_id → search all projects
|
||||
- Include project_id → scope to specific project
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Results include todos, messages, and other content matching the query.
|
||||
|
||||
### 5. Sync from Plan-Writing
|
||||
|
||||
When user has a project plan from plan-writing skill:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
1. Parse todo-structure.md or tasks.md for task hierarchy
|
||||
2. Ask: "Which Basecamp project should I add these to?"
|
||||
- List existing projects via get_projects
|
||||
- Note: New projects must be created manually in Basecamp
|
||||
3. Ask: "Use todo lists or card table?"
|
||||
4. If todo lists:
|
||||
- Create todo list per phase/milestone if needed
|
||||
- Create todos with due dates and assignees
|
||||
5. If card table:
|
||||
- Create columns for phases/statuses
|
||||
- Create cards from tasks
|
||||
- Add card steps for subtasks
|
||||
6. Confirm: "Created X todos/cards in [project]. View in Basecamp."
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 6. Status Check
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
User: "What's the status of [project]?"
|
||||
|
||||
1. get_project(id)
|
||||
2. For each todo list: get_todos, count complete/incomplete
|
||||
3. If card table exists: get columns and card counts
|
||||
4. Calculate summary:
|
||||
- X todos complete, Y incomplete, Z overdue
|
||||
- Card distribution across columns
|
||||
5. Highlight: overdue items, blocked items
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Example output:**
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Project: Q2 Training Program
|
||||
|
||||
Todos: 12/20 complete (60%)
|
||||
- 3 overdue items
|
||||
- 5 due this week

|
||||
|
||||
For complete tool reference with parameters, see [references/mcp-tools.md](references/mcp-tools.md).
|
||||
|
||||
| Category | Key Tools |
|
||||
| ---------- | -------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
||||
| Projects | get_projects, get_project |
|
||||
| Todos | get_todolists, get_todos, create_todo, complete_todo |
|
||||
| Cards | get_card_table, get_columns, get_cards, create_card, move_card |
|
||||
| Card Steps | get_card_steps, create_card_step, complete_card_step |
|
||||
| Search | search_basecamp |
|
||||
| Comments | get_comments, create_comment |
|
||||
| Documents | get_documents, create_document, update_document |
|
||||
|
||||
## Limitations
|
||||
|
||||
- **No create_project tool**: Projects must be created manually in Basecamp UI
|
||||
- **Work projects only**: This skill is for professional/team projects
|
||||
- **Pagination handled**: MCP server handles pagination transparently
|
||||
|
||||
## Integration with Other Skills
|
||||
|
||||
| From Skill | To Basecamp |
|
||||
| --------------- | ------------------------------------------------- |
|
||||
| brainstorming | Save decision → reference in project docs |
|
||||
| plan-writing | todo-structure.md → Basecamp todos or cards |
|
||||
| task-management | Anytype tasks ↔ Basecamp todos (manual reference) |
|
||||
|
||||
## Common Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
### Create todos from a list
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
User provides list:
|
||||
- Task 1 (due Friday)
|
||||
- Task 2 (due next week)
|
||||
- Task 3
|
||||
|
||||
1. Identify or confirm project and todo list
|
||||
2. Parse due dates (Friday → YYYY-MM-DD)
|
||||
3. Create each todo via create_todo
|
||||
4. Report: "Created 3 todos in [list name]"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Move cards through workflow
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
User: "Move Feature A to In Progress"
|
||||
|
||||
1. search_basecamp("Feature A") or get_cards to find card_id
|
||||
2. get_columns to find target column_id
|
||||
3. move_card(project_id, card_id, column_id)
|
||||
4. Confirm: "Moved 'Feature A' to 'In Progress'"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Add subtasks to a card
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
User: "Add subtasks to the Feature B card"
|
||||
|
||||
1. Find card via search or get_cards
|
||||
2. For each subtask:
|
||||
create_card_step(project_id, card_id, title)
|
||||
3. Report: "Added X steps to 'Feature B'"
|
||||
```

|
||||
### Find card table ID
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
1. get_project(project_id)
|
||||
2. Look in dock for "kanban_board" or use get_card_tables
|
||||
3. Extract card_table_id
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Get all todos across all lists
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
1. get_todolists(project_id)
|
||||
2. For each todolist: get_todos(project_id, todolist_id)
|
||||
3. Aggregate results

# Brainstorming
|
||||
|
||||
General-purpose ideation for any domain: business decisions, personal projects, creative work, strategic planning, problem-solving. Not tied to software development.
|
||||
|
||||
## Process
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Understand Context
|
||||
|
||||
Start by understanding the situation:
|
||||
- What's the situation? What triggered this thinking?
|
||||
- What's the current state vs desired state?
|
||||
|
||||
**Ask one question at a time.** Prefer multiple choice when options are clear.
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Clarify the Outcome
|
||||
|
||||
Before exploring solutions, clarify what success looks like:
|
||||
- What would a good outcome enable?
|
||||
- What would you be able to do that you can't now?
|
||||
- Are there constraints on what "good" means?
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Explore Constraints
|
||||
|
||||
Map the boundaries before generating options:
|
||||
- **Time**: Deadlines, urgency, available hours
|
||||
- **Resources**: Budget, people, skills, tools
|
||||
- **External**: Dependencies, stakeholders, regulations
|
||||
- **Preferences**: Non-negotiables vs nice-to-haves
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Generate Options
|
||||
|
||||
Present 2-3 distinct approaches with trade-offs:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
**Option A: [Name]**
|
||||
- Approach: [Brief description]
|
||||
- Pros: [Key advantages]
|
||||
- Cons: [Key disadvantages]
|
||||
- Best if: [When this option makes sense]
|
||||
|
||||
**Option B: [Name]**
|
||||
...
|
||||
|
||||
**My recommendation**: Option [X] because [reasoning].
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Lead with your recommendation but present alternatives fairly.
|
||||
|
||||
### 5. Validate Incrementally
|
||||
|
||||
Present thinking in 200-300 word sections. After each section, check:
|
||||
- "Does this capture it correctly?"
|
||||
- "Anything I'm missing?"
|
||||
- "Should we go deeper on any aspect?"
|
||||
|
||||
Be ready to backtrack and clarify. Brainstorming is non-linear.
|
||||
|
||||
### 6. Capture Decision (Optional)
|
||||
|
||||
After reaching clarity, offer:
|
||||
|
||||
> "Would you like me to save this as an Anytype Brainstorm object for reference?"
|
||||
|
||||
If yes, use the Anytype MCP to create a Brainstorm object:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Anytype_API-create-object
|
||||
space_id: CHIRON_SPACE_ID
|
||||
type_key: "brainstorm_v_2"
|
||||

||||
**Optional**: Link to related objects using `linked_projects` or `linked_tasks` properties with object IDs.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Template Setup
|
||||
|
||||
For a better editing experience, create a template in Anytype:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Open Anytype desktop app → Chiron space
|
||||
2. Go to Content Model → Object Types → Brainstorm v2
|
||||
3. Click Templates (top right) → Click + to create template
|
||||
4. Name it "Brainstorm Session" and configure default fields:
|
||||
- Pre-populated structure matching the brainstorm workflow
|
||||
- Framework selector with options: None, Pros/Cons, SWOT, 5 Whys, How-Now-Wow, Starbursting, Constraint Mapping
|
||||
- Status selector with options: Draft, Final, Archived
|
||||
5. Save the template - it will be available when creating new brainstorms
|
||||
|
||||
## Key Principles
|
||||
|
||||
| Principle | Why |
|
||||
|-----------|-----|
|
||||
| **One question at a time** | Avoids overwhelming, gets better answers |
|
||||
| **Multiple choice preferred** | Easier to respond, clarifies options |
|
||||
| **Domain-agnostic** | Works for any topic, not just technical |
|
||||
| **YAGNI ruthlessly** | Remove unnecessary scope from all explorations |
|
||||
| **Recommendation-first** | Always lead with your suggested approach |
|
||||
| **Flexible** | Go back and clarify when needed |
|
||||
|
||||
## When to Use Frameworks
|
||||
|
||||
For structured analysis, consult [references/thinking-frameworks.md](references/thinking-frameworks.md):
|
||||
|
||||
| Situation | Framework |
|
||||
|-----------|-----------|
|
||||
| Binary decision (A or B, yes or no) | Pros/Cons |
|
||||
| Strategic assessment | SWOT |
|
||||
| Finding root cause | 5 Whys |
|
||||
| Prioritizing many ideas | How-Now-Wow Matrix |
|
||||
| Comprehensive exploration | Starbursting (6 Questions) |
|
||||
| Understanding boundaries | Constraint Mapping |
|
||||
|
||||
**Only suggest frameworks when they add value.** Many brainstorms work fine with conversational exploration alone.
|
||||
|
||||
## Example Session
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
User: "I'm not sure how to approach launching my new course"
|
||||
|
||||
AI: "Let me help you think through this. First, what kind of course is it
|
||||
and who's the target audience?"
|
||||
|
||||
User: "NixOS course for developers who want to learn Nix"
|
||||
|
||||
AI: "Got it. What does success look like for this launch?
|
||||
a) Maximum enrollments in first week
|
||||
b) Building long-term audience/community
|
||||
c) Validating the content before wider release
|
||||
d) Something else?"
|
||||
|
||||
User: "B - building community"
|
||||
|
||||
AI: "That shapes the approach. What's your timeline?
|
||||
a) Ready to launch now
|
||||
b) 2-4 weeks to prepare
|
||||
c) Flexible, no deadline"
|
||||
|
||||
...continues with options and recommendation...
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Handoff to Other Skills
|
||||
|
||||
After brainstorming, common next steps:
|
||||
|
||||
| Output | Next Skill | Trigger |
|
||||
|--------|------------|---------|
|
||||
| Project decision | plan-writing | "Create a project plan for this" |
|
||||
| Task identified | task-management | "Add this to my tasks" |
|
||||
| Work project | basecamp | "Set this up in Basecamp" |
|
||||
|
||||
All handoffs can reference the Anytype Brainstorm object via its ID or linked objects.

||||
## Template Setup (Recommended)
|
||||
|
||||
For a better editing experience, create a template in Anytype:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Open Anytype desktop app → Chiron space
|
||||
2. Go to Content Model → Object Types → Brainstorm v2
|
||||
3. Click Templates (top right) → Click + to create template
|
||||
4. Configure with:
|
||||
- **Name**: "Brainstorm Session"
|
||||
- **Icon**: 💭
|
||||
- **Default Status**: Draft
|
||||
- **Pre-filled structure**: Leave body empty for dynamic content
|
||||
- **Property defaults**: Set framework to "None" as default
|
||||
|
||||
5. Save the template
|
||||
|
||||
Now when creating brainstorms, select this template for a guided experience.
|
||||
|
||||
## Linking to Other Objects
|
||||
|
||||
After creating a brainstorm, link it to related objects:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Link to a project
|
||||
Anytype_API-update-object
|
||||
object_id: <brainstorm_id>
|
||||
space_id: <chiron_space_id>
|
||||
properties: [
|
||||
{ key: "linked_projects", objects: ["<project_id>"] }
|
||||
]
|
||||
|
||||
# Link to tasks
|
||||
Anytype_API-update-object
|
||||
object_id: <brainstorm_id>
|
||||
space_id: <chiron_space_id>
|
||||
properties: [
|
||||
{ key: "linked_tasks", objects: ["<task_id_1>", "<task_id_2>"] }
|
||||
]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Searching Brainstorms
|
||||
|
||||
Find brainstorms by topic, status, or tags:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
Anytype_API-search-space
|
||||
space_id: bafyreie5sfq7pjfuq56hxsybos545bi4tok3kx7nab3vnb4tnt4i3575p4.yu20gbnjlbxv
|
||||
query: "NixOS"
|
||||
types: ["brainstorm_v_2"]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Or list all brainstorms:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
Anytype_API-list-objects
|
||||
space_id: bafyreie5sfq7pjfuq56hxsybos545bi4tok3kx7nab3vnb4tnt4i3575p4.yu20gbnjlbxv
|
||||
type_id: bafyreifjneoy2bdxuwwai2e3mdn7zovudpzbjyflth7k3dj3o7tmhqdlw4
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Best Practices
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Create brainstorms for any significant decision** - Capture reasoning while fresh
|
||||
2. **Mark as Final when complete** - Helps with search and review
|
||||
3. **Link to related objects** - Creates context web
|
||||
4. **Use frameworks selectively** - Not every brainstorm needs structure
|
||||
5. **Review periodically** - Brainstorms can inform future decisions

# Thinking Frameworks
|
||||
|
||||
Use these when structured analysis adds value. Not every brainstorm needs a framework.
|
||||
|
||||
## Pros/Cons Analysis
|
||||
|
||||
**Best for**: Binary decisions (do X or not, choose A or B)
|
||||
|
||||
| Option | Pros | Cons |
|
||||
|--------|------|------|
|
||||
| Option A | + Advantage 1 | - Disadvantage 1 |
|
||||
| | + Advantage 2 | - Disadvantage 2 |
|
||||
| Option B | + Advantage 1 | - Disadvantage 1 |
|
||||
| | + Advantage 2 | - Disadvantage 2 |
|
||||
|
||||
**Tips**:
|
||||
- Weight factors by importance if not all equal
|
||||
- Consider: Which cons are dealbreakers?
|
||||
- Ask: What would make each option clearly better?
|
||||
|
||||
## SWOT Analysis
|
||||
|
||||
**Best for**: Strategic assessment of a situation, project, or decision
|
||||
|
||||
| | Helpful | Harmful |
|
||||
|----------|---------|---------|
|
||||
| **Internal** | **Strengths** | **Weaknesses** |
|
||||
| | What advantages do we have? | What could we improve? |
|
||||
| | What do we do well? | Where do we lack resources? |
|
||||
| **External** | **Opportunities** | **Threats** |
|
||||
| | What trends could we exploit? | What obstacles exist? |
|
||||
| | What gaps can we fill? | What is competition doing? |
|
||||
|
||||
**Action mapping**:
|
||||
- Build on strengths
|
||||
- Address or mitigate weaknesses
|
||||
- Capture opportunities
|
||||
- Defend against threats
|
||||
|
||||
## 5 Whys
|
||||
|
||||
**Best for**: Finding root cause of a problem
|
||||
|
||||
**Process**:
|
||||
1. **State the problem**: [What's happening?]
|
||||
2. **Why?** → [First answer]
|
||||
3. **Why?** → [Dig deeper]
|
||||
4. **Why?** → [Keep going]
|
||||
5. **Why?** → [Getting closer]
|
||||
6. **Why?** → [Root cause]
|
||||
|
||||
**Tips**:
|
||||
- Stop when you reach something actionable
|
||||
- May take fewer or more than 5 iterations
|
||||
- Multiple branches possible (multiple "whys" at each level)
|
||||
|
||||
**Example**:
|
||||
```
|
||||
Problem: Course launch didn't meet enrollment targets
|
||||
|
||||
Why? → Not enough people saw the launch
|
||||
Why? → Email list is small
|
||||
Why? → Haven't been building audience consistently
|
||||
Why? → No content publishing schedule
|
||||
Why? → Haven't prioritized content creation
|
||||
→ Root cause: Need to establish content rhythm before next launch
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## How-Now-Wow Matrix
|
||||
|
||||
**Best for**: Prioritizing many ideas by feasibility and innovation
|
||||
|
||||
| | Hard to Implement | Easy to Implement |
|
||||
|--------------------|-------------------|-------------------|
|
||||
| **Innovative** | HOW (future investment) | WOW (prioritize these!) |
|
||||
| **Conventional** | Why bother? | NOW (quick wins) |
|
||||
|
||||
**Quadrant actions**:
|
||||
- **WOW**: Innovative + Easy = Do these first, high impact
|
||||
- **NOW**: Conventional + Easy = Quick wins, do soon
|
||||
- **HOW**: Innovative + Hard = Save for later, plan carefully
|
||||
- **Why bother?**: Conventional + Hard = Probably skip
|
||||
|
||||
## Starbursting (6 Questions)
|
||||
|
||||
**Best for**: Comprehensive exploration of an idea or decision
|
||||
|
||||
Start with the idea in the center, then explore each question branch:
|
||||
|
||||
### Who?
|
||||
- Who is affected?
|
||||
- Who will execute?
|
||||
- Who decides?
|
||||
- Who are stakeholders?
|
||||
|
||||
### What?
|
||||
- What exactly are we doing?
|
||||
- What's the scope?
|
||||
- What's the deliverable?
|
||||
- What resources needed?
|
||||
|
||||
### When?
|
||||
- When does it start?
|
||||
- When are milestones?
|
||||
- When is the deadline?
|
||||
- When do we review?
|
||||
|
||||
### Where?
|
||||
- Where does this happen?
|
||||
- Where are resources?
|
||||
- Where will it be deployed/shared?
|
||||
|
||||
### Why?
|
||||
- Why are we doing this?
|
||||
- Why now?
|
||||
- Why this approach?
|
||||
- Why does it matter?
|
||||
|
||||
### How?
|
||||
- How will we execute?
|
||||
- How will we measure success?
|
||||
- How do we handle failures?
|
||||
- How do we communicate progress?
|
||||
|
||||
## Constraint Mapping
|
||||
|
||||
**Best for**: Understanding boundaries before generating solutions
|
||||
|
||||
| Category | Constraints | Flexible? |
|
||||
|----------|-------------|-----------|
|
||||
| **Time** | Deadline, available hours | |
|
||||
| **Budget** | Money available, cost limits | |
|
||||
| **Resources** | People, skills, tools | |
|
||||
| **Technical** | Platform, compatibility, performance | |
|
||||
| **External** | Regulations, dependencies, stakeholders | |
|
||||
| **Preferences** | Must-haves, nice-to-haves | |
|
||||
|
||||
**For each constraint, note**:
|
||||
- Is it truly fixed or negotiable?
|
||||
- What would change if we relaxed it?
|
||||
- Are there creative workarounds?
|
||||
|
||||
## When NOT to Use Frameworks
|
||||
|
||||
Skip frameworks when:
|
||||
- The decision is simple or obvious
|
||||
- Conversational exploration is working well
|
||||
- Time is very limited
|
||||
- The user just needs to talk through it
|
||||
|
||||
**Default to conversation.** Suggest frameworks only when they'd genuinely help structure complex thinking.

# Plan Writing
|
||||
|
||||
Transform brainstormed ideas into comprehensive, actionable project plans using modular templates.
|
||||
|
||||
## Quick Reference
|
||||
|
||||
| Project Type | Templates to Use |
|
||||
|--------------|------------------|
|
||||
| Solo, <2 weeks | project-brief, todo-structure |
|
||||
| Solo, >2 weeks | project-brief, todo-structure, risk-register |
|
||||
| Team, any size | project-kickoff, stakeholder-map, todo-structure, risk-register |
|
||||
|
||||
## Process
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Intake
|
||||
|
||||
Gather initial context:
|
||||
- What project are we planning?
|
||||
- Check for existing brainstorming output in `docs/brainstorms/`
|
||||
- If starting fresh, gather basic context first
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Scope Assessment
|
||||
|
||||
Ask these questions (one at a time):
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Solo or team project?**
|
||||
- Solo → lighter documentation
|
||||
- Team → need alignment docs (kickoff, stakeholders)
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Rough duration estimate?**
|
||||
- <2 weeks → skip risk register
|
||||
- >2 weeks → include risk planning
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Known deadline or flexible?**
|
||||
- Hard deadline → prioritize milestone planning
|
||||
- Flexible → focus on phased approach
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Which PARA area does this belong to?** (optional)
|
||||
- Helps categorization and later task-management integration
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Component Selection
|
||||
|
||||
Based on scope, select appropriate templates:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
"Based on [team project, 6 weeks], I'll include:
|
||||
✓ Project Kickoff (team alignment)
|
||||
✓ Stakeholder Map (communication planning)
|
||||
✓ Todo Structure (task breakdown)
|
||||
✓ Risk Register (duration >2 weeks)
|
||||
|
||||
Shall I proceed with this structure?"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
See [references/component-guide.md](references/component-guide.md) for selection logic.
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Draft Generation
|
||||
|
||||
For each selected template:
|
||||
1. Load template from `assets/templates/`
|
||||
2. Fill with project-specific content
|
||||
3. Present each major section for validation
|
||||
4. Adjust based on feedback
|
||||
|
||||
Work through templates in this order:
|
||||
1. Kickoff/Brief (establishes context)
|
||||
2. Stakeholders (who's involved)
|
||||
3. Todos (what needs doing)
|
||||
4. Risks (what could go wrong)
|
||||
|
||||
### 5. Output
|
||||
|
||||
Generate final documents:
|
||||
- Create `docs/plans/<project-name>/` directory
|
||||
- Write each component as separate file
|
||||
- Create `index.md` linking all components
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
docs/plans/<project-name>/
|
||||
├── index.md # Links to all components
|
||||
├── kickoff.md # or brief.md for solo projects
|
||||
├── stakeholders.md # if team project
|
||||
├── tasks.md # task breakdown
|
||||
├── risks.md # if >2 weeks duration
|
||||
└── updates/ # for future progress updates
|
||||
└── YYYY-MM-DD.md
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 6. Handoff (Optional)
|
||||
|
||||
After plan is complete, offer next steps:
|
||||
|
||||
> "Ready to create this project in Basecamp? I can:
|
||||
> - Create todo lists from the task structure
|
||||
> - Set up card table columns from phases
|
||||
> - Add initial cards/todos with due dates"
|
||||
|
||||
This triggers the basecamp skill for execution.
|
||||
|
||||
## Templates
|
||||
|
||||
All templates in `assets/templates/`:
|
||||
|
||||
| Template | Purpose | When to Include |
|
||||
|----------|---------|-----------------|
|
||||
| project-kickoff.md | Comprehensive 8-section kickoff | Team projects |
|
||||
| project-brief.md | 1-page summary | Solo or simple projects |
|
||||
| stakeholder-map.md | Who needs what, when | Team projects |
|
||||
| risk-register.md | Risks and mitigations | Projects >2 weeks |
|
||||
| todo-structure.md | Hierarchical task breakdown | Always |
|
||||
| progress-update.md | Status update template | For ongoing tracking |
|
||||
|
||||
## PARA Integration (Optional)
|
||||
|
||||
If user wants PARA integration:
|
||||
1. Prompt for Area assignment (from their defined Areas)
|
||||
2. Can trigger task-management skill to create Anytype entries
|
||||
3. Include Area reference in kickoff/brief document
|
||||
|
||||
This is optional - not all users use PARA.
|
||||
|
||||
## Integration with Other Skills
|
||||
|
||||
| From | To plan-writing | Output |
|
||||
|------|-----------------|--------|
|
||||
| brainstorming | Decision/context | Informs kickoff scope |
|
||||
| plan-writing | → basecamp | Todo lists, cards |
|
||||
| plan-writing | → task-management | Anytype tasks (optional) |
|
||||
|
||||
## Example Workflow
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
User: "Create a project plan for launching the Q2 training program"
|
||||
|
||||
AI: "I'll help structure this project. First, a few questions:
|
||||
|
||||
Is this a solo project or will others be involved?"
|
||||
|
||||
User: "Team - 3 people"
|
||||
|
||||
AI: "Duration estimate?
|
||||
a) Less than 2 weeks
|
||||
b) 2-4 weeks
|
||||
c) More than a month"
|
||||
|
||||
User: "B - about 3 weeks"
|
||||
|
||||
AI: "Got it. For a 3-week team project, I'll include:
|
||||
✓ Project Kickoff (team alignment)
|
||||
✓ Stakeholder Map (communication)
|
||||
✓ Todo Structure (task breakdown)
|
||||
✓ Risk Register (3 weeks warrants this)
|
||||
|
||||
Shall I proceed?"
|
||||
|
||||
User: "Yes"

# Component Selection Guide
|
||||
|
||||
Decision matrix for which templates to include based on project characteristics.
|
||||
|
||||
## Decision Matrix
|
||||
|
||||
| Question | If Yes | If No |
|
||||
|----------|--------|-------|
|
||||
| Team project (>1 person)? | +kickoff, +stakeholders | Use brief instead of kickoff |
|
||||
| Duration >2 weeks? | +risk-register | Skip risks |
|
||||
| External stakeholders? | +stakeholders (detailed) | Stakeholders optional |
|
||||
| Complex dependencies? | +detailed todos with deps | Simple todo list |
|
||||
| Ongoing tracking needed? | +progress-update template | One-time plan |
|
||||
|
||||
## Quick Selection by Project Type
|
||||
|
||||
### Solo, Short (<2 weeks)
|
||||
```
|
||||
✓ project-brief.md
|
||||
✓ todo-structure.md
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Solo, Medium (2-4 weeks)
|
||||
```
|
||||
✓ project-brief.md
|
||||
✓ todo-structure.md
|
||||
✓ risk-register.md
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Solo, Long (>4 weeks)
|
||||
```
|
||||
✓ project-brief.md (or kickoff for complex)
|
||||
✓ todo-structure.md
|
||||
✓ risk-register.md
|
||||
✓ progress-update.md (for self-tracking)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Team, Any Duration
|
||||
```
|
||||
✓ project-kickoff.md (always for team alignment)
|
||||
✓ stakeholder-map.md
|
||||
✓ todo-structure.md
|
||||
✓ risk-register.md (if >2 weeks)
|
||||
✓ progress-update.md (for status updates)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Template Purposes
|
||||
|
||||
### project-kickoff.md
|
||||
Full 8-section document for team alignment:
|
||||
1. Project essentials (name, owner, dates)
|
||||
2. Goals and success criteria
|
||||
3. Stakeholders overview
|
||||
4. Timeline and milestones
|
||||
5. Scope (in/out)
|
||||
6. Risks overview
|
||||
7. Communication plan
|
||||
8. Next steps
|
||||
|
||||
**Use when**: Multiple people need alignment on what/why/how.
|
||||
|
||||
### project-brief.md
|
||||
1-page summary for simpler projects:
|
||||
- Goal statement
|
||||
- Success criteria
|
||||
- Key milestones
|
||||
- Initial tasks
|
||||
|
||||
**Use when**: Solo project or simple scope that doesn't need formal kickoff.
|
||||
|
||||
### stakeholder-map.md
|
||||
Communication matrix:
|
||||
- Who needs information
|
||||
- What they need to know
|
||||
- How often
|
||||
- Which channel
|
||||
|
||||
**Use when**: Team projects with multiple stakeholders needing different information.
|
||||
|
||||
### risk-register.md
|
||||
Risk tracking table:
|
||||
- Risk description
|
||||
- Probability (H/M/L)
|
||||
- Impact (H/M/L)
|
||||
- Mitigation plan
|
||||
- Owner
|
||||
|
||||
**Use when**: Projects >2 weeks or high-stakes projects of any duration.
|
||||
|
||||
### todo-structure.md
|
||||
Hierarchical task breakdown:
|
||||
- Phases or milestones
|
||||
- Tasks under each phase
|
||||
- Subtasks if needed
|
||||
- Metadata: owner, estimate, due date, dependencies
|
||||
|
||||
**Use when**: Always. Every project needs task breakdown.
|
||||
|
||||
### progress-update.md
|
||||
Status reporting template:
|
||||
- Completed since last update
|
||||
- In progress
|
||||
- Blockers
|
||||
- Next steps
|
||||
- Metrics/progress %
|
||||
|
||||
**Use when**: Projects needing regular status updates (weekly, sprint-based, etc.).
|
||||
|
||||
## Customization Notes
|
||||
|
||||
Templates are starting points. Common customizations:
|
||||
- Remove sections that don't apply
|
||||
- Add project-specific sections
|
||||
- Adjust detail level based on audience
|
||||
- Combine templates for simpler output
|
||||
|
||||
The goal is useful documentation, not template compliance.
