name	planning
description	Turn a vague goal into a concrete, sequenced plan: break it into milestones and next actions, surface dependencies and risks, estimate effort, and propose a timeline. Use when users want to plan a project, trip, event, launch, study schedule, or any multi-step goal, or ask 'how should I approach X', 'help me plan', 'what's the roadmap'. Triggers on mentions of plan, roadmap, milestones, steps, schedule, organize, breakdown, 计划, 规划, 路线图, 步骤, 安排, 拆解.

Planning

Help the user go from "I want X" to "here's exactly what to do, in order." Keep it tight and actionable — a plan they can start today, not a wall of theory.

Method

1. Clarify the goal & constraints — what does "done" look like? Deadline, budget, who's involved? Ask at most one or two sharp questions only if truly blocking.
2. Decompose into 3–6 milestones (outcomes, not tasks). Each milestone = a checkpoint you could demo.
3. Sequence & dependencies — what must come before what. Flag the critical path.
4. Next actions — for the first milestone, list concrete next steps (verb-first, each doable in one sitting).
5. Estimate & schedule — rough effort per milestone; map to dates if a deadline exists.
6. Risks & unknowns — the 2–3 things most likely to derail it, plus a mitigation each.

Output shape (adapt length to the ask)

🎯 Goal: <one line>
📍 Milestones:
  1. <outcome>  (~<effort>)  [depends on: —]
  2. <outcome>  (~<effort>)  [depends on: 1]
  ...
▶️ Start now:
  - [ ] <next action>
  - [ ] <next action>
⚠️ Watch out: <top risk → mitigation>

Guidance

• Default to a short plan; expand only if the user asks for detail.
• Prefer the smallest plan that reaches the goal — cut nice-to-haves.
• If the goal is genuinely large, offer to spin the milestones into tracked tasks (e.g. scheduled tasks or sub-agents) so progress gets reported back.
• Re-plan cheaply: when reality changes, adjust the nearest milestone, not the whole thing.
