Groove Work Plan

This is for when you've finished brainstorming and need to turn ideas into a concrete execution plan. It uses an Explore agent to research your actual codebase for patterns and constraints, then writes an ordered implementation plan with real file paths, function names, and edge case handling. The output follows a template and gets saved as a dated task in your backend system. It's opinionated about workflow: it'll warn you if there's no prior brainstorm and explicitly blocks you from writing code during the planning phase. Useful if you tend to jump straight to implementation without mapping out what exists and what needs to change.

Outcome

The codebase is researched for relevant patterns and constraints. A concrete implementation plan is written with ordered steps, file paths, and function names. Plan is captured as a task or doc.

Acceptance Criteria

Plan references actual code patterns found in the codebase (not assumptions)
Steps are ordered and specific enough to execute without ambiguity
File paths and function names are named where known
Edge cases are identified and handling is specified
Stage task created in backend: YYYY-MM-DD, Plan

Constraints

Read tasks.backend from .groove/index.md to determine backend
Use Explore agent for codebase research before writing the plan
Use template at skills/groove-work-plan/templates/plan-doc.md for doc output
Warn if no prior brainstorm exists — ask user to confirm scope before proceeding
Do not write code during plan — plan only
Create stage task via /groove-utilities-task-create if tasks != none (title YYYY-MM-DD, Plan)
