SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It helps you turn ambiguous requests for code updates into a concrete, incremental plan that a developer can implement without tangling unrelated concerns.

Core Features & Use Cases

Clarifying goals first: you identify the intended outcomes before proposing changes.
Researching existing code context: you anchor the plan in the actual current structure and conventions.
Generating a structured plan file: you create a new plan-*.md that includes phased changes plus unit-test guidance tied to each phase.

Use Case: You need to modify an existing feature across multiple modules and want an implementation-ready roadmap that minimizes risk of over-coupling and keeps changes testable.

Quick Start

Ask an AI to generate a phased plan file for implementing your requested feature change in the current repository, following the repository’s naming and typing conventions.

FAQPage Schema

How do I create an incremental code change plan for a multi-module refactor?▼

Planning code changes involves clarifying goals and researching existing codebase context to produce a structured plan file with phased implementation steps and explicit unit test descriptions per phase.

What is the best way to plan refactoring existing features while keeping them unit-testable?▼

The best way to plan refactoring while keeping it unit-testable is generating a plan file that breaks modifications into incremental phases, explicitly defining unit tests for each phase to minimize over-coupling risk.

How do I turn ambiguous feature requests into implementation-ready roadmaps?▼

Turning ambiguous feature requests into implementation-ready roadmaps requires clarifying intended outcomes first, then anchoring the proposed changes in the actual current repository structure and naming conventions.

Can I use a plan file to separate typed interface modifications from unrelated concerns?▼

Yes, a plan file separates typed interface modifications from unrelated concerns by defining phased changes that minimize incidental complexity and avoid tangling unrelated implementation steps together.

When do I need a phased implementation plan for code updates?▼

You need a phased implementation plan for code updates when handling feature updates, refactors, or multi-phase modifications across multiple modules that must be incrementally implemented and unit-testable.
