+  This skill should be used whenever you write or read a plan, spec or design
+  document, when you start executing a plan, and whenever a task list, todo
+  list or checklist comes up — yours or the user's. It says how to record the
+  plan and its tasks in Kurrent Capacitor through the `kcap mcp plans` MCP
+  tools, so progress shows in the session view and survives context
+  compaction.
+---
+
+# Plans — declaring the document and its tasks
+
+Capacitor keeps its own record of the plan a session executes: the document,
+the ordered task list, and each task's status. It is written only by you,
+through the `kcap-plans` MCP tools; nothing infers it. Three rules:
+
+1. **When you write or are handed a plan, spec or design document, declare it.**
+   Call `declare_plan_document` with its `kind` (`plan`, `spec` or `design`)
+   and `path`. The file is read locally, hashed, and keyed against the
+   repository root; declaring the same file again from a later session lands
+   on the same plan. When a plan implements a spec, or a spec refines a design,
+   pass the other file as `argues_from` so both attach to one plan.
+2. **When a plan has discrete steps, declare them and update each transition.**
+   Call `set_plan_tasks` with the whole ordered list (`title`, optional
+   `task_id`, `status`, `note`); re-send the whole list when the steps change,
+   carrying the `task_id`s you were given. Call `update_plan_task` every time a
+   task starts, finishes or is skipped, by `task_id` or 1-based `ordinal`, with
+   `status` `pending`, `in_progress`, `completed` or `skipped` and a `note`
+   when the reason matters. After compaction, `get_plan` returns the list.
+3. **Keep whatever ledger your own workflow asks for as well.** These tools
+   replace the harness's task list, not your notes or any file another
+   workflow tells you to maintain.
+
+## Tool reference
+
+| Tool | Required args | Purpose |
+|---|---|---|
+| `declare_plan_document` | `kind`, `path` (+ `argues_from`, `work_item_id`, `session_id`) | Declare the document; returns `plan_id`, `document_key`, `created`. |
+| `set_plan_tasks` | `tasks` (+ `plan_id`, `session_id`) | Replace the declared task list; returns tasks with ids and ordinals. |
+| `update_plan_task` | `status` and one of `task_id` / `ordinal` (+ `note`, `plan_id`) | Record one transition; the result names the plan. |
+| `get_plan` | — (+ `plan_id`, `session_id`) | Documents, tasks with status and source, progress. |
+
+Without `plan_id` every tool acts on the session's current plan — the one it
+most recently wrote to; a session on no plan gets one created by
+`set_plan_tasks` and an empty result from `get_plan`. If a tool cannot resolve
+the session, pass `session_id` explicitly.
+
+## Requirements
+
+Requires `kcap login`. The `kcap-plans` MCP server is registered for every
+supported harness by `kcap setup` and `kcap plugin install`.
