name: plan description: Guidelines for iteratively planning tasks and changes before implementation. Use this when the user requests a non-trivial task or when you need to align on a complex implementation strategy.

Task Planning

Workflow

1. Gather Information: Explore codebase and list dependencies.
2. Draft Plan:
   • Objective: Goal of the task.
   • Approach: High-level strategy.
   • Steps: Sequential actions.
   • Verification: How to prove it works.
3. Clarify: Include at least 3 clarifying questions with proposed answers.
4. Approve: Wait for user "go ahead" (empty response = approval).
5. Implement: Execute only after approval.

Principles

• Zero-Impact: Do not modify files during planning.
• Iterative: Refine based on feedback.
• Concise: Keep plans readable and progress tracked via TODOs.
