plan

name	plan
description	Create or revise vertical implementation slices in the active WORK.md. Use after /grill-with-docs to produce a concise, reviewable plan for implementation.

Skill: plan

Map the "how" into tracer-bullet vertical slices.

Guardrails

• READ: .workflow/active_task.json then active WORK.md [BRIEF] and [GRILL].
• WRITE: WORK.md -> [PLAN] and append to [LOG] only.
• NEVER: implement code during planning.
• NEVER: create standalone PLAN.md.
• NEVER: ask whether to plan if the user invoked /plan; produce the plan.

Workflow

1. Read the brief and grill decisions.
2. Branch Check: Verify the current git branch. Planning on main is safe and encouraged. If you are on an unrelated feature branch, warn the human that the plan is being made on a stale or mismatched context.
3. Draft thin vertical slices that are independently verifiable.
4. Mark each slice:
   • AFK: agent can implement with clear checks.
   • HITL: human judgment, product decision, external access, or manual review required.
5. Include dependencies and verification command(s) per slice.
6. Write the plan into [PLAN] with checkboxes.
7. Log Activity: Append a timestamped entry to [LOG] summarizing the plan or revision (Format: YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm AM/PM).
8. Recommend /sync if the task has a tracker, then /implement.

Output contract

End with:

• Slices: count and names
• AFK/HITL split
• Verification commands
• Next step: /sync or /implement
