| name | st-plan |
| description | Plan phase of the workflow chain. Uses Opus to design an implementation strategy. Use when the user wants to create a detailed plan before executing changes. |
Plan Phase
Design the implementation strategy for the user's task.
Instructions
Launch the architect agent (stelite:architect, Opus, read-only tools).
Note: When invoked from st-flow with FLOW MODE, produce the blueprint and return it immediately without asking for approval. The instructions below describe standalone behavior.
Provide the agent with all available context from prior research (if any) plus the user's task description.
The planning agent should produce:
- Goal — clear statement of what will be achieved
- Steps — ordered list of implementation steps, each with:
- File(s) to modify or create
- What changes to make and why
- Any risks or edge cases
- Architecture decisions — trade-offs considered and choices made
- Testing strategy — how to verify the implementation works
After the agent completes, present the plan to the user and ask for approval or adjustments before proceeding to execution.
