Work Breakdown in Codex With GitHub Awesome Copilot Implementation Plan
Turn approved requirements into phased, dependency-aware implementation tasks with explicit file targets and completion checks.
中文Setup for Codex
Use Codex in a scratch repository with GitHub CLI 2.90 or later and a local feature brief. This is the MIT-licensed GitHub Awesome Copilot implementation-plan skill as an alternative for the Bitwarden work-breakdown workflow listed here.
- In the scratch repository, run `gh skill install github/awesome-copilot skills/create-implementation-plan --pin 8ecd5b17f02fe5fbebf35eccd1867265eded811f --agent codex --scope project`.
- Confirm that `.agents/skills/create-implementation-plan/SKILL.md` exists. Open the scratch repository in Codex and select the `create-implementation-plan` skill.
Example task
Create a scratch feature brief for a reading list that exports visible titles as CSV. Set input file `books.json` with records for River and Hill and include a filter that selects River only. Ask for a plan under `plan/` covering fixture setup, filtering, CSV formatting and verification. Request the plan as the sole deliverable.Expected result
The plan contains ordered phases and uniquely identified tasks. The CSV work refers to the filter requirement and includes a check for a header plus one River row with no Hill row. The scratch project contains the Markdown plan.

What should be available before asking Codex to break up implementation work?
Provide a feature goal, approved requirements, affected files if known, and at least one expected outcome that can be checked. Record unresolved dependencies in the plan.
