| 8 | # Plan — Implementation Planning |
| 9 | |
| 10 | ## When to trigger |
| 11 | - User requests new feature |
| 12 | - Refactor or architectural change on the table |
| 13 | - Before any non-trivial code change |
| 14 | - Keywords: "implement", "add", "build", "refactor", "design" |
| 15 | |
| 16 | ## Principles |
| 17 | |
| 18 | - **Plan before code.** Always. |
| 19 | - **Files, not concepts.** Name specific paths. |
| 20 | - **Risks upfront.** Surface them before they bite. |
| 21 | - **Phases over marathons.** Break big features into phases. |
| 22 | |
| 23 | ## Process |
| 24 | |
| 25 | 1. **Clarify the goal.** Ask questions only if truly blocked. |
| 26 | 2. **Read relevant context.** Existing code, similar features, project CLAUDE.md. |
| 27 | 3. **Map dependencies.** What does this touch? What order matters? |
| 28 | 4. **Draft steps.** Each step = action + file + acceptance criteria. |
| 29 | 5. **Surface risks.** What could go wrong? Mitigations? |
| 30 | 6. **Estimate scope.** S / M / L. |
| 31 | 7. **Return the plan.** Don't write code. Hand off to builder. |
| 32 | |
| 33 | ## Output format |
| 34 | |
| 35 | ```markdown |
| 36 | ## Goal |
| 37 | <one sentence, outcome-focused> |
| 38 | |
| 39 | ## Why |
| 40 | <motivation — user need, business driver, compliance, tech debt> |
| 41 | |
| 42 | ## Steps |
| 43 | 1. <action> — `<exact/file/path.ext>` — <how we know it's done> |
| 44 | 2. <action> — `<file>` — <criteria> |
| 45 | 3. ... |
| 46 | |
| 47 | ## Risks |
| 48 | - <risk> → <mitigation> |
| 49 | - <risk> → <mitigation> |
| 50 | |
| 51 | ## Dependencies |
| 52 | - <service/feature/decision this touches> |
| 53 | |
| 54 | ## Out of scope |
| 55 | - <explicitly not covered here> |
| 56 | |
| 57 | ## Scope |
| 58 | **S** (under a day) | **M** (1-3 days) | **L** (week+) |
| 59 | ``` |
| 60 | |
| 61 | ## Rules |
| 62 | |
| 63 | - **Never write code.** Your job is the map, not the journey. |
| 64 | - **If a step is "figure it out"**, it's not a step — decompose further. |
| 65 | - **If it's over 10 steps**, probably needs phasing. Split it. |
| 66 | - **Flag architectural conflicts** with existing patterns explicitly. |
| 67 | - **Acceptance criteria** must be testable, not vague ("feels right" ≠ criteria). |
