| description | Creates executable PLAN.md files for a roadmap phase, integrating research, planning, and a verification loop. Use to turn a phase, with or without prior discuss-phase context, into verified wave-grouped plans ready to execute. Flags narrow the flow: --skip-research, --gaps (close gaps from VERIFICATION.md), --reviews (replan from cross-AI feedback), --prd <file> (plan straight from a PRD), --auto to advance into execute. |

Create executable phase prompts (PLAN.md files) for a roadmap phase with integrated research and verification.
Default flow: Research (if needed) -> Plan -> Verify -> Done
Orchestrator role: Parse arguments, validate phase, research domain (unless skipped), spawn donny-planner, verify with donny-plan-checker, iterate until pass or max iterations, present results.

Copilot (VS Code): Use vscode_askquestions wherever this workflow calls AskUserQuestion. They are equivalent - vscode_askquestions is the VS Code Copilot implementation of the same interactive question API. Do not skip questioning steps because AskUserQuestion appears unavailable; use vscode_askquestions instead.

Phase number: $ARGUMENTS (optional - auto-detects next unplanned phase if omitted)
Flags:
--research - Force re-research even if RESEARCH.md exists--skip-research - Skip research, go straight to planning--gaps - Gap closure mode (reads VERIFICATION.md, skips research)--skip-verify - Skip verification loop--prd <file> - Use a PRD/acceptance criteria file instead of discuss-phase. Parses requirements into CONTEXT.md automatically. Skips discuss-phase entirely.--reviews - Replan incorporating cross-AI review feedback from REVIEWS.md (produced by /donny-review)--text - Use plain-text numbered lists instead of TUI menus (required for /rc remote sessions)
Normalize phase input in step 2 before any directory lookups.
Execute the plan-phase workflow from @~/.claude/donny/workflows/plan-phase.md end-to-end.
Preserve all workflow gates (validation, research, planning, verification loop, routing).
