Plan-First Kit for Claude: Project & Skill Edition

Stop handing builders a vague brief.

Most website, client portal and app projects go off the rails before any code is written, because nobody wrote down what was being built. The Plan-First Kit fixes that in about an hour. No terminal, no installation, no technical knowledge.

How it works

1. Add the kit to Claude as a Project (or upload it as a Skill).

2. Tell Claude you want to plan a project.

3. Answer one question at a time. Every question comes with an example answer, and you can say “suggest” whenever you’re stuck.

4. Review the finished deck, ask for changes (“change Doc 2: we use Square, not Stripe”) and approve it.

5. Save it as a PDF and hand it to your freelancer, agency, team or AI coding tool.

The six documents you get

1. Product requirements: what it does, feature by feature

2. Technical requirements: the tools it runs on, decided once

3. App flow: every page, every click, and what happens when something goes wrong

4. Design brief: your real colours, fonts and tone

5. Backend schema: where your data lives and who can see it

6. Implementation plan: the build order, with sign-offs you can check yourself

Everything also arrives as a letter-size deck with your logo, project name, name and cover, so it looks finished enough to send to a client.

What’s included

• Project instructions to paste into a Claude Project

• Knowledge files (question playbook, deck template, full worked example)

• The same kit packaged as a Claude Skill (.zip)

• Setup guide with step-by-step instructions

What you need

A Claude account with Projects or Skills available. Check Anthropic’s site for which plans include them. The kit doesn’t include Claude itself.

Good to know

• Built for non-technical business owners and managers.

• It produces planning documents. It doesn’t build the website or app.

• The deck opens in your browser, and the setup guide shows how to save it as a PDF in about a minute.
