/create_plan

Create detailed implementation plans through an interactive, iterative process. The agent researches the codebase, works with you to understand requirements, and produces a phased technical specification.

Usage

/create_plan

Or with a ticket file:

/create_plan thoughts/shared/tickets/eng_1234.md

Process

1. Gather requirements — The agent asks for the task description, constraints, and context
2. Research — Explores the codebase to understand relevant components
3. Draft plan — Creates a phased plan with specific changes and success criteria
4. Iterate — Works with you to refine the plan until it’s ready

Plan Structure

Plans are saved to thoughts/shared/plans/ with the format YYYY-MM-DD-description.md. Each plan includes:

• Problem statement and context
• Phased implementation steps
• Specific file changes per phase
• Success criteria for each phase
• Checkboxes for tracking completion

Key Behavior

• Uses Opus — Deep reasoning model for thorough analysis
• Interactive — The agent asks questions and iterates on the plan with you
• Skeptical — The agent challenges assumptions and identifies potential issues
• Codebase-aware — Researches existing code before proposing changes

Variants

• /create_plan_nt — Skips thoughts directory integration
• /create_plan_generic — Generic version for use outside Hyprlayer
