Check Plan Implementation

Instructions

Perform comprehensive audit of implementation progress against a plan, verify quality of completed work, and generate actionable task list for remaining items.

Phase 1: Setup & Discovery

Step 1: Identify the Plan

• Ask user which plan to check (or identify from context)
• Read the plan file from .plans/
• Understand all plan items and requirements

Step 2: Get Git Context (if applicable)

# See what files changed
git status

# See detailed changes
git diff

# See commit history on this branch
git log --oneline -20

This helps understand scope of changes made.

Step 3: Identify All Affected Files

Create comprehensive list:

1. Files mentioned in the plan
2. Files shown in git status
3. Files that might be affected (use Glob/Grep)

Create todo list with one item per file to check.

Phase 2: Systematic File-by-File Audit

For EACH file in the todo list:

Step 1: Read the File

• Use Read tool to examine current state
• Check memory/context for any previous notes about this file

Step 2: Map to Plan Items

Identify which plan step(s) relate to this file:

• Which implementation steps mention this file?
• What changes were supposed to be made?
• What requirements from the plan apply here?

Step 3: Verify Implementation

Check if planned changes are present:

• ✅ DONE: Implementation matches plan requirements
• ⚠️ PARTIAL: Some work done, but incomplete
• ❌ NOT DONE: No implementation yet
• 🔍 NEEDS REVIEW: Implementation exists but may not match plan

For each file, assess:

• Are planned features implemented?
• Is code quality good?
• Are types used correctly (no any)?
• Does it follow CLAUDE.md guidelines?
• Is it complete or partial?

Step 4: Quality Verification

Check implementation quality:

• Correctness: Does it work as planned?
• Types: Proper typing, no any, using existing types?
• Naming: Follows conventions from plan?
• Architecture: Matches planned design?
• Completeness: All details from plan step implemented?

Step 5: Record Assessment

Store in memory:

File: path/to/file.ts
Plan Item: Step X - [description]
Status: [DONE|PARTIAL|NOT DONE|NEEDS REVIEW]
Notes: [What's good, what's missing, what needs fixing]
Quality Issues: [Any problems found]

Step 6: Update Todo

Mark file as checked in the todo list.

Phase 3: REMOVAL SPEC Verification

CRITICAL: Verify old code was actually removed.

Step 1: Read REMOVAL SPEC from Plan

Extract all items listed for removal:

• Code to be removed (with file/line numbers)
• Files to be deleted
• Deprecated functions to eliminate

Step 2: Verify Each Removal

For each item in REMOVAL SPEC:

1. For code to remove:

   # Check if old code still exists
   grep -n "old_function_name" path/to/file.ts
   

   • ✅ If not found: Code successfully removed
   • ❌ If found: Code still exists (NOT DONE)

2. For files to delete:

   # Check if file still exists
   ls path/to/old-file.ts
   

   • ✅ If not found: File successfully deleted
   • ❌ If found: File still exists (NOT DONE)

3. For deprecated imports/references:

   # Search entire codebase
   grep -r "old_symbol" src/
   

   • ✅ If not found: All references removed
   • ❌ If found: References still exist (NOT DONE)

Step 3: Record Removal Status

• List what was supposed to be removed
• List what actually was removed
• Flag any items not removed as HIGH PRIORITY tasks

Phase 4: Gap Analysis

Step 1: Identify Scope Creep

Files changed that are NOT in the plan:

• Why were they changed?
• Were changes necessary?
• Should plan be updated to reflect them?

Step 2: Identify Missing Work

Plan items without corresponding implementation:

• Which steps haven't been started?
• Which steps are partially complete?
• What's blocking completion?

Phase 5: Build Progress Report

Step 1: Calculate Completion Percentage

Total Plan Steps: X
Completed Steps: Y
Partial Steps: Z
Not Started: W

Completion: (Y / X) * 100%
Weighted Completion: ((Y + 0.5*Z) / X) * 100%

Step 2: Generate Structured Report

Create report at .plans/[plan-name].progress.md:

# Plan Progress Report: [Plan Name]
**Date**: [timestamp]
**Plan File**: [path]
**Status**: [In Progress | Ready for Review | Completed]

---

## Summary
- **Overall Completion**: X%
- **Steps Complete**: Y / Total
- **Steps Partial**: Z
- **Steps Not Started**: W
- **Critical Issues**: N

---

## Progress by Plan Step

### ✅ Step 1: [Description]
**Status**: DONE
**Files**: [list]
**Notes**: [Any relevant notes]

### ⚠️ Step 2: [Description]
**Status**: PARTIAL (60% complete)
**Files**: [list]
**Completed**:
- [What's done]
**Remaining**:
- [What's not done]
**Issues**: [Any problems]

### ❌ Step 3: [Description]
**Status**: NOT DONE
**Blocking**: [What's blocking this]

---

## REMOVAL SPEC Status

### ✅ Completed Removals
- `old_function` from `file.ts` - Successfully removed
- `old-file.ts` - Successfully deleted

### ❌ Pending Removals (HIGH PRIORITY)
- `legacy_code` from `file.ts:lines 50-100` - **STILL EXISTS**
- `deprecated-helper.ts` - **FILE STILL EXISTS**

**Critical**: Old code must be removed before plan can be marked complete.

---

## Quality Assessment

### Passed
- ✅ TypeScript types used correctly
- ✅ CLAUDE.md naming conventions followed
- ✅ Architecture matches plan

### Issues Found
- ⚠️ `any` type used in `file.ts:42` (should use existing type)
- ⚠️ Missing error handling in step 5 implementation

---

## Files Changed

### Planned Changes (from plan)
- ✅ `path/to/file1.ts` - DONE
- ⚠️ `path/to/file2.ts` - PARTIAL
- ❌ `path/to/file3.ts` - NOT DONE

### Unplanned Changes (scope creep)
- `path/to/unexpected.ts` - Why: [reason]

---

## Remaining Work

### High Priority
1. **Remove old code** (REMOVAL SPEC items)
   - [ ] Remove `legacy_code` from `file.ts`
   - [ ] Delete `deprecated-helper.ts`

2. **Complete Step 3**
   - [ ] Implement [specific requirement]
   - [ ] Add proper types

### Medium Priority
3. **Fix quality issues**
   - [ ] Replace `any` in `file.ts:42`
   - [ ] Add error handling in step 5

### Low Priority
4. **Polish**
   - [ ] [Minor improvements]

---

## Validation Status

### Pre-Validation
- [ ] All plan steps completed
- [ ] All REMOVAL SPEC items removed
- [ ] TypeScript compiles
- [ ] Linting passes
- [ ] No `any` types added

**Ready for Final Validation**: NO (pending items remain)

---

## Next Steps

1. Complete REMOVAL SPEC items (remove old code)
2. Finish Step 3 implementation
3. Fix quality issues
4. Run validation checks
5. Update plan status when 100% complete

Phase 6: Validation Checks

Step 1: Run TypeScript Check

# Run type checking
npm run typecheck
# or
tsc --noEmit

Record results:

• ✅ Passes: Good to go
• ❌ Errors: List errors, add to remaining work

Step 2: Run Linting

# Run linter
npm run lint
# or
eslint .

Record results:

• ✅ Passes: Good to go
• ⚠️ Warnings: List warnings
• ❌ Errors: List errors, add to remaining work

Step 3: Run Build (if applicable)

npm run build

Ensure build succeeds.

Phase 7: Generate Task List

Create actionable todo list for remaining work:

# Remaining Tasks for [Plan Name]

## Critical (Must Do)
- [ ] Remove `legacy_code` from `file.ts:50-100` (REMOVAL SPEC)
- [ ] Delete `deprecated-helper.ts` (REMOVAL SPEC)
- [ ] Complete Step 3: [description]

## Important (Should Do)
- [ ] Fix TypeScript error in `file.ts:42`
- [ ] Add error handling in step 5

## Polish (Nice to Have)
- [ ] [Minor improvement]

## Validation
- [ ] TypeScript passes (`npm run typecheck`)
- [ ] Linting passes (`npm run lint`)
- [ ] Build succeeds (`npm run build`)
- [ ] All REMOVAL SPEC items removed

**When all tasks complete**: Update plan file from `.todo.md` to `.done.md`

Phase 8: Report to User

Provide concise summary:

# Plan Check Complete: [Plan Name]

## Overall Status
**X% Complete** (Y of Z steps done)

## Completed ✅
- Step 1: [description]
- Step 2: [description]

## In Progress ⚠️
- Step 3: [description] (60% done)

- Step 4: [description]

## Critical Issues 🚨
- **REMOVAL SPEC not complete**: Old code still exists
  - `legacy_code` in `file.ts` must be removed
  - `deprecated-helper.ts` must be deleted

## Quality Issues
- `any` type used in `file.ts:42`
- Missing error handling in step 5

## Validation
- ❌ TypeScript: 3 errors
- ✅ Linting: Passed
- Build: Not tested

## Next Steps
1. Remove old code (REMOVAL SPEC)
2. Complete Step 3
3. Fix quality issues
4. Run final validation

**Detailed Report**: `.plans/[plan-name].progress.md`
**Task List**: See remaining work section above

Critical Principles

• NEVER SKIP FILES - Check every file in the comprehensive list
• DO NOT EDIT FILES - This is read-only audit, not implementation
• VERIFY REMOVAL SPEC - Critical that old code is actually removed
• BE THOROUGH - Think critically about each file's implementation
• USE MEMORY - Store context as you review files
• RUN VALIDATION - Always run typecheck and lint
• BE HONEST - Mark things as incomplete if they are
• PROVIDE ACTIONS - Don't just identify issues, provide todo list
• CHECK QUALITY - Implementation exists doesn't mean it's good
• 100% STANDARD - Plan isn't done until 100% complete and validated

Completion Criteria

A plan can be marked as .done.md ONLY when:

1. ✅ All plan steps implemented (100% completion)
2. ✅ All REMOVAL SPEC items removed (old code gone)
3. ✅ TypeScript passes (tsc --noEmit succeeds)
4. ✅ Linting passes (no errors)
5. ✅ Build succeeds (if applicable)
6. ✅ No any types added (strict typing maintained)
7. ✅ CLAUDE.md compliance (all guidelines followed)
8. ✅ Quality verified (implementations match plan specs)

Anything less = plan stays as .todo.md
