Concise Planning

Goal

Turn a user request into a single, actionable plan with atomic steps.

Workflow

1. Scan Context

  • Read README.md, docs, and relevant code files.

  • Identify constraints (language, frameworks, tests).

    • 2. Minimal Interaction

  • Ask at most 1–2 questions and only if truly blocking.

  • Make reasonable assumptions for non-blocking unknowns.

    • 3. Generate Plan

    Use the following structure:

  • Approach: 1-3 sentences on what and why.

  • Scope: Bullet points for "In" and "Out".

  • Action Items: A list of 6-10 atomic, ordered tasks (Verb-first).

  • Validation: At least one item for testing.

    • Plan Template

    # Plan
    <High-level approach>
    Scope
  • In:

  • Out:
    • Action Items
    [ ] <Step 1: Discovery>
    [ ] <Step 2: Implementation>
    [ ] <Step 3: Implementation>
    [ ] <Step 4: Validation/Testing>
    [ ] <Step 5: Rollout/Commit>
    Open Questions
  • <Question 1 (max 3)>

    • Checklist Guidelines

  • Atomic: Each step should be a single logical unit of work.

  • Verb-first: "Add...", "Refactor...", "Verify...".

  • Concrete: Name specific files or modules when possible.
