FAQPage Schema
How do I automate software development plan creation and draft pull request generation?▼

Automating software development plan creation generates a new idea branch, writes a plan file using a template, and opens a draft pull request for review. This streamlines the initial planning phase by handling repository interactions and pull request operations automatically.

What is the best way to start a new feature or bug plan in my repository?▼

Starting a new plan involves triggering an automated command with your plan title and description. The tool then creates a dedicated idea branch, generates a structured plan file for features, bugs, docs, or infra, and initializes a draft pull request.

Do I need git and GitHub CLI installed to create plan files and draft PRs?▼

Yes, you need git and GitHub CLI installed to create plan files and draft PRs. Git handles the local repository interaction for branch creation and file writes, while GitHub CLI manages the remote pull request operations.

Can I create different types of software development plans like infra or docs?▼

Yes, you can create different types of software development plans including features, bugs, docs, or infra. The plan file creation uses a template that supports these distinct plan types to fit various project requirements.

How does draft pull request creation work for new planning branches?▼

Draft pull request creation works by opening a PR associated with the newly created idea branch and plan file. This allows further refinement and review within the Plot workflow before the plan is finalized.
