Automating implementation planning generates design artifacts by orchestrating multi-phase workflows including Outline, Research, and Design. It processes feature specs to produce structured artifacts like research.md, data-model.md, and quickstart.md from a plan template.

Orchestrating a multi-phase planning workflow involves sequencing phases like Outline, Research, and Design & Contracts. This approach enforces strict input handling, evaluates gates between phases, and processes extension hooks to ensure consistent planning references across the project.

Custom extension hooks are supported during the planning process for both pre- and post-execution phases. The system enables conditional handling and command synthesis from hook names, allowing you to customize the workflow while generating path-resolved artifacts with absolute references.

Spec-driven planning works without external dependencies or components. The workflow operates independently using a plan template to automate the end-to-end implementation process, applying strict input handling and gate evaluation to produce design artifacts like contracts and data models.

Using a structured plan template for feature-spec driven work ensures consistent artifact generation and updates agent context across the workflow. It moves teams quickly from spec to concrete plan by enforcing gate evaluation and producing path-resolved outputs like research.md and data-model.md.
