FAQPage Schema

How do I create a phased project plan from software issues?▼

Generate a structured, phase-based project plan by running the /plan command with an issue identifier. It reads issue details and specs to produce a PLAN.md file with defined, executable phases and checkpoints.

What is the best way to break down a software spike into actionable phases?▼

The best way to break down a software spike is to use phase-based planning that cross-references issue details, specs, and ADRs. This generates a PLAN.md file with structured checkpoints to guide consistent execution and collaboration.

Can I generate a plan for an issue in a different project repository?▼

Yes, you can generate a plan for an issue in a different project repository by using the --project flag. This applies cross-project referencing to ensure the plan pulls context from the correct project specs and architectural decisions.

How do I get a second opinion on a generated project management plan?▼

To get a second opinion on a generated project management plan, append the --second-opinion flag to your command. This provides an alternative perspective on the proposed phases before you commit the PLAN.md file to your repository.

Does phase-based planning work with both bug fixes and new feature tasks?▼

Yes, phase-based planning works with both bug fixes and new feature tasks. It applies across tasks, spikes, and bugs within software-project workflows, enabling consistent planning structures and actionable phases for any issue type.
