Create Plan

This does one thing: turns your feature request into a structured, actionable plan without writing any code. It scans your README and relevant files, asks at most one or two clarifying questions if absolutely necessary, then outputs a template with intent, scope, 6-10 concrete checklist items, and open questions. The workflow is explicitly read-only, so you get the roadmap without Claude touching your codebase. Useful when you want to think through implementation order before jumping in, or when you need a second opinion on what should be in scope. The checklist items are verb-first and ordered from discovery through tests to rollout, which keeps things grounded.

Create Plan

Goal

Turn a user prompt into a single, actionable plan delivered in the final assistant message.

Minimal workflow

Throughout the entire workflow, operate in read-only mode. Do not write or update files.

Scan context quickly
- Read README.md and any obvious docs (docs/, CONTRIBUTING.md, ARCHITECTURE.md).
- Skim relevant files (the ones most likely touched).
- Identify constraints (language, frameworks, CI/test commands, deployment shape).
Ask follow-ups only if blocking
- Ask at most 1–2 questions.
- Only ask if you cannot responsibly plan without the answer; prefer multiple-choice.
- If unsure but not blocked, make a reasonable assumption and proceed.
