{{args}}

Create a short execution plan, group related work, identify dependencies, and decide what can run in parallel. Use subagents for independent investigation or verification. Keep each task small enough to review and test.

PLAN: ordered batch list. PARALLEL: items safe to run concurrently. GATES: validation required before proceeding. RISKS: the main ways the batch can go wrong.
