Feature planning without implementation requires orchestrating requirements discovery, technical research, and design documentation stages to produce a complete design package. This workflow gathers project needs and generates design artifacts while stopping before any code is written.

Feature design documentation is best produced through a structured discovery interview that collects requirements, followed by dedicated technical research to ground the design. The resulting documentation suite is then synced into the project context for downstream implementation use.

Design documentation scope can be adjusted by setting a rigor level to lite, standard, or strict. This controls the depth of the generated design artifacts and requirements gathering during the planning workflow.

Technical research for architecture planning is handled by delegating dedicated research sub-skills during the workflow. This ensures the design documentation is grounded in accurate technical context before the final design artifacts are produced.

Plan mode is mandatory to run the feature design workflow. It uses a planning-session marker with stage gating to ensure requirements discovery and research are completed before design documentation is generated.

A design-only deliverable set includes requirements from a discovery interview, technical research findings, and generated design documentation. These artifacts are synced into context files to support later implementation without writing any code.
