SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It updates an existing implementation plan so new requirements, refactors, or infrastructure changes are captured without ambiguity, keeping execution aligned across teams and AI agents.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Requirement-driven plan updates: Incorporates new or changed requirements into the existing /plan/ Markdown plan while preserving a strict, parseable structure.
  • Deterministic, atomic phases: Produces discrete phases with measurable completion criteria and parallelizable tasks where possible.
  • Template-validated outputs: Ensures frontmatter and all required sections/headers follow the mandatory template and naming conventions.

Quick Start

Ask an AI to update your existing implementation plan file to reflect the latest feature and refactor requirements for the ${file} path, ensuring the output is written to the /plan/ directory using the required template.

FAQPage Schema
How do I update an existing implementation plan to reflect new requirements?

Update an existing implementation plan by incorporating new or changed requirements into the Markdown file while preserving its strict, machine-parseable structure. The process ensures execution alignment across teams and AI agents by maintaining atomic phases and measurable completion criteria.

What is deterministic implementation planning for AI agent execution?

Deterministic implementation planning produces fully self-contained, machine-parseable Markdown plans with atomic phases and measurable completion criteria. This approach ensures AI agents and humans execute tasks reliably without ambiguity when handling code, architecture, or infrastructure changes.

How do I maintain markdown implementation plans for refactoring and infrastructure changes?

Maintain markdown implementation plans by applying template-validated updates that ensure frontmatter and all required headers follow mandatory conventions. The updated plan is saved into the `/plan/` directory using the specified naming convention for reliable execution.

Can I use automated plan updates for parallelizable tasks in feature development?

Yes, automated plan updates support feature development by producing discrete phases with parallelizable tasks where possible. The output remains fully self-contained and template-compliant, ensuring validated frontmatter and strict structure for deterministic execution.

Does updating implementation plans require a specific file structure or directory?

Updating implementation plans requires saving the output into the `/plan/` directory using the specified naming convention. The process validates frontmatter and ensures all required sections follow the mandatory template to maintain a parseable structure.

What are the limitations of manually updating machine-parseable plan files?

Manually updating machine-parseable plans risks breaking template compliance, frontmatter validation, and atomic phase structure. Strict adherence to required headers and naming conventions is essential to prevent execution ambiguity for both AI agents and human teams.
