FAQPage Schema

How do I generate a coding plan from a Linear ticket or Notion URL?▼

To generate a coding plan from a Linear ticket or Notion URL, you input the work item source. The tool parses the source, discovers code impact by reading repository structure, and saves a structured, review-ready plan with phases, tasks, and tests to your work folder.

What is the best way to discover codebase impact before starting development?▼

Discovering codebase impact before development involves parsing work items to surface mismatches and reading CLAUDE.md. This process identifies repository scope and risk, discarding ambiguity by triggering discovery only when needed to produce a save-ready plan.

Can I use GitHub issues to create a structured work plan with verification steps?▼

Yes, you can use GitHub issues to create a structured work plan. The tool translates GitHub sources into a concrete plan, surfacing codebase impact and producing verification steps for subsequent execution phases.

Does planning work before coding reduce drift and rework?▼

Planning work before coding reduces drift and rework by ensuring scope alignment and verifiable outcomes. It synthesizes clear work goals from your sources and generates a structured, verifiable plan ready for review.

How do I prepare a plan for the do-work execution phase?▼

Preparing a plan for the do-work execution phase requires parsing work item sources to produce a save-ready plan. This plan includes repo scope, phases, tasks, and verification steps, storing context specifically for subsequent execution steps.
