What problem does it solve?
Converts informal brainstorm idea files into precise, actionable implementation plans that remove ambiguity and prepare the work for focused implementation, review, and commit.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Idea-driven planning: Requires idea files from .ai-workflow/ideas/ and turns them into one or more plan files, each representing a single deliverable phase.
- Research orchestration: Launches three parallel Task sub-agents (codebase-explorer, knowledge-reviewer, external-researcher) and synthesizes their summaries to inform scope, dependencies, and acceptance criteria.
- Concrete, reviewable plans: Produces plan files using the provided template with structured frontmatter, explicit steps that reference file line ranges, acceptance criteria, dependencies, and related documents, then updates idea metadata and offers to stage commits.
- Behavioral guardrails: Enforces "never write code" during planning, insists on minimum ambiguity, and splits large work into independently valuable phases.
Quick Start
Create a plan from the idea file .ai-workflow/ideas/20260222-offline-first-sync.md including phased steps, acceptance criteria, referenced file line ranges, and a research summary.
