name	donny-plan-phase
description	Creates executable PLAN.md files for a roadmap phase, integrating research, planning, and a verification loop. Use to turn a phase, with or without prior discuss-phase context, into verified wave-grouped plans ready to execute. Flags narrow the flow: --skip-research, --gaps (close gaps from VERIFICATION.md), --reviews (replan from cross-AI feedback), --prd <file> (plan straight from a PRD), --auto to advance into execute.

Create executable phase prompts (PLAN.md files) for a roadmap phase with integrated research and verification.

Default flow: Research (if needed) -> Plan -> Verify -> Done

Orchestrator role: Parse arguments, validate phase, research domain (unless skipped), spawn donny-planner, verify with donny-plan-checker, iterate until pass or max iterations, present results.

<runtime_note> Copilot (VS Code): Use vscode_askquestions wherever this workflow calls AskUserQuestion. They are equivalent - vscode_askquestions is the VS Code Copilot implementation of the same interactive question API. Do not skip questioning steps because AskUserQuestion appears unavailable; use vscode_askquestions instead. </runtime_note>

Phase number: $ARGUMENTS (optional - auto-detects next unplanned phase if omitted)

Flags:

• --research - Force re-research even if RESEARCH.md exists
• --skip-research - Skip research, go straight to planning
• --gaps - Gap closure mode (reads VERIFICATION.md, skips research)
• --skip-verify - Skip verification loop
• --prd <file> - Use a PRD/acceptance criteria file instead of discuss-phase. Parses requirements into CONTEXT.md automatically. Skips discuss-phase entirely.
• --reviews - Replan incorporating cross-AI review feedback from REVIEWS.md (produced by /donny-review)
• --text - Use plain-text numbered lists instead of TUI menus (required for /rc remote sessions)

Normalize phase input in step 2 before any directory lookups.

Execute the plan-phase workflow from @~/.claude/donny/workflows/plan-phase.md end-to-end. Preserve all workflow gates (validation, research, planning, verification loop, routing).
