pre-planning

To gather context for planning a new feature, you must consolidate git remotes, codebase structure, reference projects, and memories. This prevents scope creep and missed requirements by producing a ready-to-use context snapshot before entering plan mode.

The best way to consolidate repository context is to run platform detection on git remotes and synthesize memories with reference lookups. This aggregates multi-source data into a unified snapshot, ensuring all past decisions guide your current implementation.

Yes, you can use git remote data for platform detection when starting non-trivial tasks. The system applies platform detection to choose appropriate workflows, ensuring your planning context matches the specific repository environment you are working in.

Reference checking for planning context works by looking up past decisions stored in memories and reference projects. This guides your current planning phase by ensuring historical choices and structural constraints are synthesized into the final context snapshot.

You need to capture context before entering plan mode whenever starting a kickoff, new feature, or non-trivial implementation task. This pre-planning step prevents scope creep by consolidating git, codebase, and memory sources into a ready-to-use snapshot.
