Create a detailed implementation plan for the following task:
$ARGUMENTS
Produce a structured plan in exactly this format:
## Task Plan
### Overview
[One paragraph summarizing the goal]
### Tasks
1. **[Task title]**
- Description: [What needs to be done]
- Package/files: [Which files will change]
- Dependencies: [Which task numbers must complete first, or "none"]
- Complexity: [Low / Medium / High]
- Agent: [software-engineer / designer / qa / code-reviewer / security / sre-devops / legal-compliance]
2. **[Task title]**
- Description: ...
- Package/files: ...
- Dependencies: ...
- Complexity: ...
- Agent: ...
### Risks & Considerations
- [Breaking changes, migration needs, test gaps, performance]
### Architecture Decisions
- [Design choices that need to be made upfront]
Be specific about file paths and concrete changes needed. This output will be fed to /orchestrate to create a parallel execution plan.
Check license compatibility, data privacy compliance, and AI ethics. Use when adding dependencies, handling user data, or reviewing regulatory requirements.
Deploy the application or manage infrastructure. Handles Docker builds, CI/CD, and deployment workflows.
Design a UI component with specifications for layout, states, interactions, and accessibility. Use when creating new UI components or redesigning existing ones.
Implement a feature or fix a bug following the project's code patterns and conventions. Use when code changes are needed.
Produce a structured delegation plan for parallel agent execution. Takes a task description or plan output, analyzes dependencies, assigns agents, and groups tasks for parallel execution. Use after /plan-task or when you need to plan how to delegate work across agents.
Research and gather reliable information about libraries, APIs, specifications, and best practices. Use when you need to understand external documentation before planning or implementing a feature.
