SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Plan creates comprehensive, actionable work plans through intelligent interaction. It auto-detects whether to interview the user (broad requests) or plan directly (detailed requests), and supports consensus mode (iterative Planner/Architect/Critic loop with RALPLAN-DR structured deliberation) and review mode (Critic evaluation of existing plans).

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Auto-detect interview vs direct mode based on request specificity, with one-question-at-a-time interviews.
  • Support for Consensus mode (Planner -> Architect -> Critic) and Review mode for evaluating existing plans.
  • Mode-specific workflows: Interview for broad scoping, Direct for detailed tasks, and ADR-enabled final outputs with risk and acceptance criteria.

Quick Start

Describe your goal and request a plan to generate a draft strategy.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a structured project plan from broad requirements?

To generate a structured project plan from broad requirements, the system auto-detects request specificity and conducts one-question-at-a-time interviews to scope your strategy before producing actionable work plans.

What is consensus-driven strategic planning and how does it work?

Consensus-driven strategic planning uses an iterative Planner, Architect, and Critic loop with structured deliberation to enforce evidence-based plans, testable acceptance criteria, and ADR documentation for complex projects.

How do I review and validate an existing project plan for risks?

To review and validate an existing project plan for risks, you can use the dedicated Critic evaluation mode, which assesses your current plans against testable criteria and highlights potential workflow issues.

Can I use automated workflows for direct plan generation on detailed tasks?

Yes, you can use automated workflows for direct plan generation on detailed tasks. The system auto-detects request specificity and bypasses interviews to immediately output an ADR-enabled plan with risk criteria.

What is the best way to document architectural decisions during strategic planning?

The best way to document architectural decisions during strategic planning is using the built-in ADR documentation feature, which records evidence-based rationale and testable acceptance criteria directly within the final plan output.

When should I not use the direct planning mode for complex projects?

You should not use direct planning mode for complex projects with broad or vague requirements, as it bypasses the interactive interview process needed to properly gather scope and establish a consensus-driven strategy.
