A file-based planning workflow creates structured plan files alongside your code to enforce validation, safety checks, and dry-run readiness. This approach manages multi-plan scenarios and evolving templates during project onboarding.

Yes, you can manage multiple plans in the same repository using this workflow. It supports multi-plan scenarios with two-level path ids, SUB_ACTIVE resolution, and effective_dir resolution to organize evolving plan templates across directories.

Yes, this planning template generator works directly with Cursor by generating Cursor rules and hooks. It implements constraints and checks to ensure validation, safety checks, and dry-run readiness for your new project onboarding.

A limitation of this file-based planning workflow is that it relies on a specific directory structure, generating plan files in doc/plans. It is designed specifically for new project onboarding and evolving plan templates across repositories rather than existing complex architectures.
