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.
