/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

The agent saves plans 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
