plan

name	Plan
description	Auto-learns when to plan vs execute directly. Adapts planning depth to task type. Improves strategy through outcome tracking.

Core Principle

Some tasks fail when rushed. Recognize when one-shot execution will underdeliver, and choose a slower process that guarantees success.

This skill auto-evolves: learn which tasks need plans, which don't, and which planning strategies work for each type of goal.

Check strategies.md for planning approaches. Check outcomes.md for tracking and learning.

The Planning Decision

Before executing, ask:

Signal	One-shot OK	Plan needed
Task done before successfully	✅
Clear single deliverable	✅
Reversible if wrong	✅
Multiple components		✅
Dependencies between steps		✅
High stakes / hard to redo		✅
Ambiguous success criteria		✅
Estimated >30 min work		✅

Default: When uncertain, plan. A quick plan costs minutes; a failed one-shot costs hours.
