SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Plan mode translates user intent into a concrete, reviewable plan document without mutating code or files.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Generates a deterministic Markdown plan saved under .clawg/plans/ with a timestamped filename.
  • Keeps execution side effects off; only writes plan documents for review and approval.
  • Supports planning for sessions, task scoping, and validation before work.

Quick Start

Ask CLAWG to generate and save a plan in .clawg/plans/.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate an actionable task planning document in my workspace?

Task planning documents are generated as concrete Markdown files saved under .clawg/plans/ with timestamped filenames. The tool reads relevant context and writes a reviewable plan without executing any side effects or mutating code.

Can I scope software engineering tasks without executing code changes?

Yes, you can scope software engineering tasks without executing code changes by generating a deterministic Markdown plan. It translates user intent into a reviewable document for approval, ensuring execution side effects remain off until validation is complete.

What is the best way to create a timestamped plan file for a CLAWG workflow?

The best way to create a timestamped plan file for a CLAWG workflow is to request plan generation directly. It automatically writes a Markdown document under .clawg/plans/, capturing task scoping and validation steps for review.

How does plan generation handle task validation before development?

Plan generation handles task validation by translating user intent into a structured document without side effects. It addresses planning sessions and validation steps within the CLAWG workflow, producing a Markdown file for review and approval before work begins.

Does the plan mode tool require any dependencies to write Markdown files?

No dependencies are required to write Markdown plan files. The tool operates independently within the active workspace to read relevant context and output timestamped documents under the .clawg/plans/ directory.

When should I not use a plan generation tool for software engineering?

You should not use a plan generation tool when immediate code mutation or direct execution is required. It is designed strictly for reviewable planning and task scoping, intentionally keeping execution side effects off to ensure validation before work.
