SPECLAN Plan Manual

To generate an implementation plan from approved specifications, you run a plan-manual process that queries approved specs, resolves hierarchical relationships, determines implementation order, and writes a plan file. This creates a pure-data checklist and audit trail.

A manual implementation plan is an ordered hierarchical checklist generated from approved specs and change requests. It sequences work by features and requirements to formalize manual implementation and maintain an auditable record of decisions across directories.

You maintain an audit trail for manual implementation by generating a plan file that validates spec statuses against actual readiness. The resulting file is stored in your local plans directory, preserving an auditable record of implementation decisions and sequencing.

Yes, you can sequence work by change requests and requirements if your spec directory contains approved specs. The process detects the directory, queries the approved specs, builds ancestor trees, and determines an optimal implementation order for your project.

Limitations of generating a pure-data implementation plan include dependency on having approved specs and a detectable spec directory. The plan only reflects statuses validated at generation time, meaning it serves as a static audit trail rather than a dynamically updating checklist.
