brewcode:plan
Create Plan — [task-dir or SPEC path or plan file]
/brewcode:plan Instructions
ROLE: Plan Creator | OUTPUT: PLAN.md + phases/*.md + KNOWLEDGE.jsonl + artifacts/ + backup/
Input Detection
| Input | Action |
|---|---|
Path to {TS}_{NAME}_task/ dir |
Read SPEC.md from it |
Path to SPEC.md file |
Derive task dir from parent |
.claude/plans/LATEST.md or plan file |
Plan Mode: parse plan, create task dir, skip SPEC |
| Empty | Check .claude/TASK.md quick ref for latest task dir |
Flag Parsing
Parse $ARGUMENTS for flags BEFORE input detection:
| Flag | Effect |
|---|---|
-n, --noask |
Skip all user questions, auto-approve defaults |
Strip flag from $ARGUMENTS. Remaining text = path.

Check Adapted Templates (REQUIRED FIRST)
EXECUTE using Bash tool:
TMPL_DIR=".claude/tasks/templates" PLUGIN_TMPL="$BC_PLUGIN_ROOT/skills/setup/templates" echo "--- Project templates ---" test -f "$TMPL_DIR/PLAN.md.template" && echo "PLAN.md.template OK" || echo "PLAN.md.template MISSING" test -f "$TMPL_DIR/phase.md.template" && echo "phase.md.template OK" || echo "phase.md.template MISSING" test -f "$TMPL_DIR/phase-verify.md.template" && echo "phase-verify.md.template OK" || echo "phase-verify.md.template MISSING" test -f "$TMPL_DIR/phase-final-review.md.template" && echo "phase-final-review.md.template OK" || echo "phase-final-review.md.template MISSING" test -f "$TMPL_DIR/phase-fix.md.template" && echo "phase-fix.md.template OK" || echo "phase-fix.md.template MISSING" echo "--- Plugin fallback templates ---" test -f "$PLUGIN_TMPL/PLAN.md.template" && echo "PLAN.md.template FALLBACK OK" || echo "PLAN.md.template FALLBACK MISSING" test -f "$PLUGIN_TMPL/phase.md.template" && echo "phase.md.template FALLBACK OK" || echo "phase.md.template FALLBACK MISSING" test -f "$PLUGIN_TMPL/phase-verify.md.template" && echo "phase-verify.md.template FALLBACK OK" || echo "phase-verify.md.template FALLBACK MISSING" test -f "$PLUGIN_TMPL/phase-final-review.md.template" && echo "phase-final-review.md.template FALLBACK OK" || echo "phase-final-review.md.template FALLBACK MISSING" test -f "$PLUGIN_TMPL/phase-fix.md.template" && echo "phase-fix.md.template FALLBACK OK" || echo "phase-fix.md.template FALLBACK MISSING"Template resolution order:
- Project templates:
.claude/tasks/templates/{name}.template(adapted by/brewcode:setup) - Plugin fallback:
$BC_PLUGIN_ROOT/skills/setup/templates/{name}.template
STOP if BOTH locations MISSING for any template -- Run
/brewcode:setupfirst to get v3 templates. If project templates missing but plugin fallback exists: WARN "Re-run /brewcode:setup for v3 project-adapted templates. Using plugin defaults." - Project templates:
-
Read SPEC
- Resolve input path per Input Detection table
- Read SPEC.md from task directory
- Extract: goal, requirements, analysis, context files, risks, decisions
-
Scan Project for Reference Examples
- Find 1-2 canonical files per expected phase type (controller, service, test, etc.)
- These become Reference Examples (R1, R2...) in PLAN.md
-
Generate Phase Breakdown (5-12 phases)
Based on SPEC analysis and project structure:
- Each phase = one logical unit of work
- Dependencies between phases identified
- Agents assigned per phase
- Verification phases (NV) after each execution phase
- Final Review (FR) as last phase
-
Present Phases to User (AskUserQuestion)
If
--noask: Skip. Auto-approve all phases.Otherwise: Use AskUserQuestion to present the proposed phase split:
- Phase count and descriptions
- Agent assignments
- Dependency chain
- User can approve, adjust, or request changes
-
Generate Artifacts
Read templates per resolution order from Step 0 (project first, plugin fallback second).
5.1 Create directory structure
.claude/tasks/{TS}_{NAME}_task/ ├── phases/ <-- NEW: individual phase files ├── artifacts/ ├── backup/ ├── KNOWLEDGE.jsonl (0-byte empty file) └── PLAN.md (slim, with Phase Registry)EXECUTE using Bash tool:
TASK_DIR=".claude/tasks/{TS}_{NAME}_task" mkdir -p "$TASK_DIR/phases" "$TASK_DIR/artifacts" "$TASK_DIR/backup" touch "$TASK_DIR/KNOWLEDGE.jsonl"5.2 Generate phase files (from templates)
For EACH execution phase (1, 2, 3, ...):
- Read
phase.md.template - Fill placeholders with SPEC-derived content:
{PHASE_NUM}-- phase number{PHASE_NAME}-- descriptive name (kebab-case for filename, Title Case for heading){AGENT}-- assigned agent{AGENT_ROLE}-- one-line agent role description{OBJECTIVE}-- concrete objective from SPEC analysis{CONTEXT_FILES}-- table rows: files the agent needs to read/modify{REFERENCES}-- table rows: reference examples, docs, existing patterns{TASK_LIST}-- numbered task list with specific, actionable items{CONSTRAINTS}-- project-specific constraints (from SPEC + project rules){EXIT_CRITERIA}-- measurable exit criteria (builds, tests pass, lint clean, etc.){ARTIFACT_DIR}-- e.g.,1-1e(Phase 1 Execution, iter 1){ADDITIONAL_ARTIFACTS}-- files created/modified by this phase
- Write to:
phases/{N}-{name}.md(e.g.,phases/1-create-entity.md)
For EACH verification phase:
- Read
phase-verify.md.template - Fill placeholders:
{PHASE_NUM}-- matches the execution phase being verified{PHASE_NAME}-- same name as the execution phase{VERIFY_AGENT}-- tester or reviewer{FILES_TO_REVIEW}-- files created/modified by the execution phase{VERIFICATION_CHECKLIST}-- checklist items derived from exit criteria of execution phase{AGAINST_REFERENCES}-- reference examples to compare against{ARTIFACT_DIR}-- e.g.,1-1v(Phase 1 Verification, iter 1){AGENT}-- same as{VERIFY_AGENT}
- Write to:
phases/{N}V-verify-{name}.md
For Final Review:
- Read
phase-final-review.md.template - Fill placeholders:
{FR_AGENTS}-- list of review agents (typically reviewer + tester + architect){COMPLETION_CRITERIA}-- from SPEC.md goals/decisions, copied to PLAN.md Completion Criteria{REVIEW_CHECKLIST}-- comprehensive checklist covering all phases{FILES_CHANGED}-- aggregate of all files created/modified across all phases{ARTIFACT_DIR}--FR-1e(Final Review, iter 1)
- Write to:
phases/FR-final-review.md
5.3 Generate PLAN.md (slim v3 format)
Using
PLAN.md.template(project-adapted or plugin fallback):- Fill Phase Registry table with ALL generated phase files
- Each row references the corresponding
phases/{file}.md - Completion Criteria from SPEC.md decisions/goals
- Agents table from project analysis
- Technology Choices from SPEC analysis
- Role Constraints from project rules
5.4 Technology Choices
For each non-trivial choice (library, pattern, approach):
- Document in PLAN.md under Technology Choices section
- Include rationale + alternatives considered and rejected
- Examples: ORM choice, auth library, caching strategy, test framework
- Read
-
Quorum Plan Review (3 agents, mixed expertise)
ONE message with 3 Task calls in PARALLEL: Task(subagent_type="Plan", prompt="Review PLAN.md and ALL files in phases/ against SPEC requirements. Check Phase Registry completeness and phase file content quality.") Task(subagent_type="brewcode:architect", prompt="Review PLAN.md and phases/ files: architecture decisions, technology choices, dependencies between phases, context files accuracy") Task(subagent_type="brewcode:reviewer", prompt="Review PLAN.md and phases/ files: exit criteria measurability, task granularity, risks, verification checklist completeness")Agent prompt template:
> **Context:** BC_PLUGIN_ROOT is available in your context (injected by pre-task.mjs hook). Review PLAN at {PLAN_PATH} and phase files at {TASK_DIR}/phases/ against SPEC at {SPEC_PATH} Check: Phase Registry matches actual phase files, each phase file has filled content (no unfilled placeholders), agent assignments match expertise, dependencies correct, exit criteria measurable, risks mitigated Output: list of remarks with rationaleQuorum rule (2/3): Only remarks confirmed by 2+ agents are accepted.
-
Verification Agent (Traceability Check)
Task(subagent_type="brewcode:reviewer", prompt=" > **Context:** BC_PLUGIN_ROOT is available in your context (injected by pre-task.mjs hook). Verify PLAN and phase files cover ALL SPEC requirements: - Each item from SPEC > Scope > In has at least one phase FILE in phases/ - Each requirement from Original Requirements is addressed in a specific phase file's Tasks section - Phase Registry in PLAN.md matches actual files in phases/ directory Output: traceability matrix (requirement -> phase file) + gaps found")If gaps found: Add missing phase files AND update Phase Registry in PLAN.md before presenting to user in Step 8.
-
Present Review Results (AskUserQuestion)
If
--noask: Auto-accept all quorum-confirmed remarks. Fix all in PLAN.md and phase files.Otherwise: Present confirmed remarks + verification results to user. User approves/rejects each. Fix approved remarks in PLAN.md and phase files.
Workflow (Plan Mode input)
-
Check Templates -- same as SPEC workflow Step 0
-
Read Plan File
- Parse
.claude/plans/LATEST.mdor provided plan file - Extract structure, goals, steps
- Parse
-
Create Task Dir + Scan Project
- Generate timestamp and name slug
- Create
.claude/tasks/{TS}_{NAME}_task/ - Scan project for context files and reference examples
-
Split into Granular Phases (finer than plan)
- Each plan item may become 1-3 phases
- Add verification phases
- Add Final Review phase
-
Present Phases to User (AskUserQuestion)
- Same as SPEC workflow step 4 (respects
--noask)
- Same as SPEC workflow step 4 (respects
-
Generate Artifacts
- Same as SPEC workflow Step 5 (phases/, PLAN.md, KNOWLEDGE.jsonl, artifacts/, backup/)
- No SPEC.md in this flow (plan replaces spec)
-
Lightweight Plan Review (2 agents)
ONE message with 2 Task calls in PARALLEL: Task(subagent_type="brewcode:architect", prompt="Review PLAN.md at {PLAN_PATH} and phases/ files: architecture decisions, phase dependencies, agent assignments") Task(subagent_type="brewcode:reviewer", prompt="Review PLAN.md at {PLAN_PATH} and phases/ files: phase quality, verification criteria, completeness vs source plan")Rule: Both agents must confirm a remark for it to be accepted (2/2 consensus). Fix confirmed remarks in PLAN.md and phase files before proceeding.
Update Quick Ref (REQUIRED)
Add task link to TOP of .claude/TASK.md (preserve history):
IF .claude/TASK.md exists:
1. Read existing content
2. Prepend: ".claude/tasks/{TS}_{NAME}_task/PLAN.md\n---\n"
3. Append: existing content
ELSE:
Create with: ".claude/tasks/{TS}_{NAME}_task/PLAN.md"
Validation (REQUIRED)
EXECUTE using Bash tool:
TS_NAME="{TS}_{NAME}"
TASK_DIR=".claude/tasks/${TS_NAME}_task"
echo "=== Structure ==="
test -d "$TASK_DIR" && echo "TASK_DIR" || echo "TASK_DIR MISSING"
test -f "$TASK_DIR/PLAN.md" && echo "PLAN" || echo "PLAN MISSING"
test -f "$TASK_DIR/KNOWLEDGE.jsonl" && echo "KNOWLEDGE" || echo "KNOWLEDGE MISSING"

test -d "$TASK_DIR/phases" && echo "PHASES_DIR" || echo "PHASES_DIR MISSING"
head -1 .claude/TASK.md 2>/dev/null | grep -q "${TS_NAME}" && echo "QUICK_REF" || echo "QUICK_REF MISSING"
echo "=== Phase Registry vs Files ==="
grep -oP 'phases/[^\s|]+\.md' "$TASK_DIR/PLAN.md" | sort -u | while read -r pf; do
test -f "$TASK_DIR/$pf" && echo "OK $pf" || echo "MISSING $pf"
done
echo "=== Phase files on disk ==="
for f in "$TASK_DIR"/phases/*.md; do
test -f "$f" && echo "EXISTS $(basename $f)" || echo "NO PHASE FILES"
done
STOP if any MISSING -- Create missing artifacts before proceeding.
