Blueprint — Start plan session
Start a new plan-writing session. Help the user write an implementation plan through multi-round Q&A.
Step 1: Parse arguments and select template
Parse the user's message for the feature description.
Read references/templates.json to get the available templates. Ask the user which template they'd like to use — one per template, using the template's name as the label and description as the description. Always include an "Other" option so the user can describe a custom template.
This is the ONLY time you should ask a template selection question during the session.
Step 2: Read the plan template
Read the selected template's prompt field to understand the structure and level of detail expected. If the user selected "Other", use their custom description as the template prompt.
Your questions should match the template's level and perspective.
Step 3: Explore the codebase
Explore the project to understand:
- The project structure, key modules, and architecture
- Existing patterns and conventions
- Files and systems relevant to the user's request
Spend real effort here. Read actual source files.
Step 4: Ask clarifying questions
Help the user think through everything they'd need to answer in order to write that plan well.
Based on the codebase exploration, ask 3-5 clarifying questions following the format in .
