What problem does it solve?

Helps teams and agents avoid premature implementation by producing clear, reviewable implementation plans that define scope, files, acceptance criteria, risks, and execution order before coding begins.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Research-driven planning: Explore the codebase and spec artifacts to locate where changes should live and which patterns to follow.
• Structured plans: Produce a problem statement, proposed approaches with trade-offs, a file-level changelist, acceptance criteria, and identified risks.
• Execution sequencing: Provide phased execution orders for multi-agent or parallel work and checkpoints for testing and verification.
• Durable handoff: Save approved plans to the durable journal location and provide explicit handoff steps to implementation workflows.
• Use case: Architect a new caching layer by comparing alternatives, listing modified files, defining acceptance criteria, mapping phases, and saving the approved plan for implementers.

Quick Start

Draft a detailed implementation plan for adding a Redis-backed session cache that lists files to modify, alternative approaches, acceptance criteria, risks, and an execution order for phased implementation.
