SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Plan management for .claude/.plans enables structured, end-to-end lifecycle handling of implementation plans with create, review, execute, archive, and abandon flows, including optional parallel-agent orchestration.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Centralized plan lifecycle: create, review, execute, archive, and abandon plans with status tracking.
  • Parallel-agent coordination: leverage multiple agents to propose, validate, and synthesize plans for complex tasks.
  • Issue integration and governance: auto-labels, progress comments, and plan movement across archival states.
  • Execution-ready deliverables: derive tasks from plans, monitor progress, and update status automatically.

Quick Start

Create a new plan for an issue by running plan-manage create <issue-number> and monitor its progress through execution.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate implementation plan lifecycle management for software projects?

Implementation plan lifecycle management is automated by orchestrating parallel agents to create, review, execute, archive, or abandon plans within .claude/.plans directories, tracking status changes automatically throughout the process.

How does multi-agent orchestration work for cross-agent task planning?

Multi-agent orchestration for cross-agent task planning works by deploying parallel agents to propose, validate, and synthesize implementation plans for complex software tasks, coordinating their outputs into a unified execution-ready plan.

What's the best way to create and track an implementation plan from an existing issue?

To create and track an implementation plan from an issue, run the create command with the issue number to generate a plan, apply auto-labels for governance, and monitor progress through automatic status updates during execution.

Can I detect and clean up stale implementation plans across multi-agent workflows?

Yes, stale-plan detection is supported across multi-agent workflows, allowing you to identify inactive plans and move them to archived or abandoned states to maintain an organized .claude/.plans directory.

Does plan management support codebase exploration during the planning phase?

Yes, codebase exploration is supported during the planning phase, allowing agents to analyze existing code structures and dependencies to ensure generated implementation plans are accurate and execution-ready.

How do I derive executable tasks from a reviewed implementation plan?

Executable tasks are derived from reviewed implementation plans by automatically breaking down the approved plan into tracked action items, monitoring their progress, and updating the plan status as tasks are completed.
