SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Complex user requests often require multiple coordinated steps, subagents, and automations, and without structured planning they risk violating governance rules or wasting resources. This Skill turns ambiguous goals into safe, ordered execution plans. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Task Decomposition: Breaks down complex prompts into step-by-step project plans with clear milestones. - Subagent Routing: Identifies which specialized subagents and automations should handle each part of the work. - Governance Verification: Checks every plan against core authority rules, zero-RAM constraints, and YAGNI principles before execution. - Use Case: When asked to reorganize a knowledge vault, the Skill analyzes the request, drafts a milestone-based plan, assigns note-processing subagents, and confirms the plan complies with governance rules before presenting it for approval. ## Quick Start Ask the planner agent to create a step-by-step execution plan for your complex task, including which subagents and automations should handle each step.

FAQPage Schema
How do I break down a complex task into an execution plan with an AI agent?

Invoke the planner-agent with your task description, and it analyzes the prompt, formulates a step-by-step plan with milestones, and assigns work to specialized subagents. The plan is verified against governance rules before being presented to you.

What does the planner-agent check before executing a plan?

The planner-agent verifies execution safety against core governance and authority rules, including zero-RAM and YAGNI compliance. This ensures plans avoid unnecessary work and respect the control plane's constraints.

Can the planner-agent coordinate multiple subagents and automations?

Yes, coordinating subagents and automations is a core function. The planner identifies which specialized subagents and automations are required for each step and routes work to them within the sequenced plan.

When should I not use a planning agent for a task?

Skip the planner for simple, single-step requests that one agent can handle directly, since planning overhead adds no value. It is designed for complex, multi-step tasks requiring coordination and governance verification.
