Create Implementation Plan
Generate comprehensive implementation plans that provide strategic guidance without making actual code changes.
When to Use
- User explicitly requests a plan, roadmap, or implementation strategy
- Complex tasks requiring structured breakdown before implementation
- Need for risk assessment and alternative approach analysis
- Pre-implementation analysis of architectural decisions
Planning Process
1. Initial Assessment
Research the codebase to understand project structure, relevant files, and existing patterns.
2. Create Strategic Plan
Generate a Markdown plan file with objectives, implementation steps, and verification criteria.
3. Plan Structure
- Objective: Clear statement of goal.
- Implementation Plan: Step-by-step tasks with rationale.
- Verification Criteria: Specific, measurable outcomes.
- Risks and Mitigations: Potential blockers and how to handle them.
