Concise Planning

Goal

Turn a user request into a single, actionable plan with atomic steps.

Workflow

1. Scan Context

• Read README.md , docs, and relevant code files.

• Identify constraints (language, frameworks, tests).

2. Minimal Interaction

• Ask at most 1–2 questions and only if truly blocking.

• Make reasonable assumptions for non-blocking unknowns.

3. Generate Plan

Use the following structure:

• Approach: 1-3 sentences on what and why.

• Scope: Bullet points for "In" and "Out".

• Action Items: A list of 6-10 atomic, ordered tasks (Verb-first).

• Validation: At least one item for testing.

Open Questions

Checklist Guidelines

• Atomic: Each step should be a single logical unit of work.

• Verb-first: "Add...", "Refactor...", "Verify...".

• Concrete: Name specific files or modules when possible.
