plan

name	plan
description	Use when the request needs planning, a plan, step-by-step analysis, task decomposition, breaking work down, analyzing first, or comparing tradeoffs/options before acting. Prefer sequential-thinking for multi-step or ambiguous work.

Planning Workflow

Use this skill when the request is multi-step, ambiguous, or benefits from a clear plan before execution.

Planning Rules

• Start by identifying the goal, constraints, and missing information.
• If the task is complex or ambiguous, use sequential-thinking to break the work into explicit steps.
• Prefer short, actionable plans over abstract summaries.
• After planning, continue with the concrete tools or reasoning needed to complete the task.

Guardrails

• Do not use sequential-thinking for trivial requests.
• Do not stop at planning if the user expects execution.
• Revise the plan when new tool output changes the situation.
