SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Plan mode helps teams convert vague tasks into concrete, executable plans, reducing ambiguity and preventing scope creep.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Inspect context and define a concrete, step-by-step plan.
  • Save the plan as a Markdown file to the active workspace under .hermes/plans/ with a timestamped filename.
  • Enables plan reuse, versioning, and cross-task continuity for project planning and handoffs.

Quick Start

Generate a concrete, executable plan for the current task and save it to .hermes/plans/ with a timestamped filename.

FAQPage Schema
How do I turn a vague feature development goal into a concrete executable plan?

Task decomposition converts vague goals into concrete, step-by-step executable plans, preventing ambiguity and scope creep. This process generates a documented Markdown workflow that guides subsequent feature development actions without performing code execution.

What is the best way to save and version project planning documents in a markdown workspace?

Saving plans as timestamped Markdown files under a dedicated workspace directory enables plan reuse, versioning, and cross-task continuity. This approach provides a documented workflow history for project planning and seamless team handoffs.

Can I generate a research task plan without triggering code execution or side effects?

Yes, generating a research task plan in plan-mode strictly prevents code execution and side effects. It inspects context and outputs a timestamped Markdown file, satisfying the requirement to produce a documented workflow without performing destructive actions.

Does plan generation support cross-task continuity for workflow planning and team handoffs?

Plan generation supports cross-task continuity by saving each workflow plan as a timestamped Markdown file in the workspace. This enables versioning and plan reuse, ensuring documented steps are preserved for seamless team handoffs and subsequent actions.

When do I need task decomposition for feature development instead of writing code directly?

Task decomposition is needed when vague requirements risk scope creep in feature development. Decomposing tasks into a documented, step-by-step plan before writing code directly reduces ambiguity and ensures a concrete, executable workflow guides subsequent actions.
