SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Plan mode eliminates ad-hoc, unstructured decision notes by producing deterministic, actionable Markdown plans that can be saved and referenced later.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Generates structured, timestamped Markdown plans that live in .hermes/plans/
  • Enforces planning-only behavior to prevent accidental code edits or mutations
  • Useful for sprint planning, feature scoping, and task decomposition across software development teams

Quick Start

Create a concrete Markdown plan and save it to .hermes/plans/ with a timestamped filename.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate an actionable Markdown plan for software development without accidentally editing code?

You can generate an actionable Markdown plan using a planning-only mode that prevents code edits or mutating actions. This ensures you produce structured, timestamped plans saved under .hermes/plans/ without altering your codebase.

What is the best way to structure sprint planning and task decomposition in Markdown?

The best way to structure sprint planning is to generate a concrete Markdown plan that decomposes tasks and scopes features. This produces a timestamped file in .hermes/plans/ and outputs a concise summary for team reference.

How do I save and reference structured project management plans later?

To save and reference project management plans later, generate a structured Markdown file with a timestamped filename. This deterministic approach eliminates ad-hoc notes and stores plans directly in .hermes/plans/ for future access.

Does plan mode work for feature scoping without modifying my existing project files?

Yes, plan mode enforces planning-only behavior that prevents accidental code edits or mutations. It operates exclusively to generate actionable Markdown plans, making it safe for feature scoping without modifying existing project files.

Why use a dedicated planning-only mode instead of manually writing Markdown plans?

A dedicated planning-only mode eliminates unstructured, ad-hoc decision notes by producing deterministic, actionable Markdown plans. It automatically saves timestamped files and outputs a concise summary, ensuring plans are consistently formatted and referenceable.
