To generate a step-by-step plan without execution, use an agent collaboration workflow where a stronger agent decomposes the task into ordered, actionable steps with dependencies and validation checkpoints, explicitly prohibiting it from performing the actual execution.

Breaking down a multi-module software change requires soliciting a concrete execution path from a stronger agent that provides ordered dependencies, validation checkpoints, and verification criteria to minimize back-and-forth during implementation.

Task-planning in agent collaboration is the process of obtaining a clear, ordered execution path from a stronger agent. You need it for tasks requiring multi-step decomposition, ordered dependencies, or validation checkpoints to ensure reliable completion.

Generating a task plan with a stronger agent does include validation checkpoints. The process ensures plans are concrete, ordered, and explicitly integrate dependencies and verification points to prevent vague guidance.

The best way to ensure a workflow plan is executable is to use a plan solicitation template that demands actionable steps, ordered dependencies, and verification points, while explicitly instructing the helper agent not to perform the execution.
