Planning

Creates detailed implementation plans with phases, stored within the session folder.

Requirements

• Active session must exist (session path in working memory)
• If no active session: STOP and ask user for session path

Execution

Session path: [SESSION_PATH from working memory] Context: $ARGUMENTS

Steps

1. Gather context:

   • Read recent dive/task documents from session
   • Review project documentation if available
   • Understand current codebase state

2. Create plan file:

   • Location: [SESSION_PATH]/[TIMESTAMP_FILE]-plan-[plan-slug].md

   Phase design principles:

   • Each phase is executed as a single samocode iteration — keep phases bite-sized and independently completable
   • 1–3 focused steps per phase (not counting lint/typecheck)
   • Split by logical boundary: one file/module/concern per phase when possible
   • Prefer more small phases over fewer large ones

   Structure:

3. Update session:

   • Edit [SESSION_PATH]/_overview.md:
     • Add to Flow Log: - [TIMESTAMP_ITERATION] Plan created -> [filename].md
     • Add to Plans: - [filename].md - [brief description]
     • Add to Files: - [filename].md - Plan: [brief description]
   • Commit (if git repo): cd [SESSION_DIR] && git add . && git commit -m "Plan: [title]"

4. Report back: Plan summary and file location
