| 24 | ## Why Plan Cascade? |
| 25 | |
| 26 | Traditional AI coding assistants hit a wall with large, complex projects: |
| 27 | |
| 28 | | Challenge | Conventional AI | Plan Cascade | |
| 29 | |-----------|-----------------|--------------| |
| 30 | | **Complexity** | Gets lost in large codebases | Decomposes into manageable units | |
| 31 | | **Parallelism** | Sequential, one-at-a-time | Independent tasks run in parallel | |
| 32 | | **Context** | Lost during long sessions | Design docs + durable context survive compaction | |
| 33 | | **Quality** | Manual verification needed | Automated testing & linting at each step | |
| 34 | | **Control** | Black box execution | Transparent, inspectable workflow | |
| 35 | |
