When to use

• A plan and task breakdown are required before implementation.

Preconditions

• If required inputs (schemas, env vars, sample payloads) are missing, STOP and ask.

Inputs to confirm

• Problem statement + success criteria
• Scope and constraints
• Required contracts (config, OpenAPI, protocols)

Required artifacts

• Plan file in docs/plans/
• Beads tasks with dependencies and acceptance criteria

Quick path

• Draft plan in docs/plans/.
• Create Beads tasks using the template in docs/AGENTS.md.
• Add dependencies with bd dep add.

Steps

1. Write or update the plan.
2. Create Beads tasks per work package.
3. Add dependencies.
4. Run bd lint if required.

Failure modes and responses

• Missing inputs: stop and request a checklist.
• No Beads: run bd init or ask the user to initialize.

Definition of done

• Plan exists and Beads tasks are created with dependencies.

Example (minimal)

• Plan: docs/plans/autocodex-v1-plan.md
• Tasks: Contracts → CLI → Plugins → API → UI.
