Implementation Plan Generator

Required output: Every task/issue MUST include Urgency, Risk, ROI, and Blast Radius ratings. Do not omit these ratings.

Create detailed implementation plans with impact analysis, phased tasks, and risk assessment.

Step 1: Interactive Input

IMPORTANT: Use AskUserQuestion to gather requirements:

code

AskUserQuestion with questions:
[
  {
    "question": "What type of work are you planning?",
    "header": "Work Type",
    "options": [
      {"label": "New feature", "description": "Adding new functionality to the app"},
      {"label": "Bug fix / improvement", "description": "Fixing issues or enhancing existing features"},
      {"label": "Refactoring", "description": "Restructuring code without changing behavior"},
      {"label": "Report card items", "description": "Implementing recommendations from a report card"}
    ],
    "multiSelect": false
  },
  {
    "question": "What is your risk tolerance?",
    "header": "Risk",
    "options": [
      {"label": "Conservative", "description": "Minimize risk, smaller incremental changes"},
      {"label": "Balanced", "description": "Reasonable risk for reasonable gains"},
      {"label": "Aggressive", "description": "Accept higher risk for faster delivery"}
    ],
    "multiSelect": false
  },
  {
    "question": "What is your timeline?",
    "header": "Timeline",
    "options": [
      {"label": "Urgent (days)", "description": "Must ship this week"},
      {"label": "Normal (1-2 weeks)", "description": "Standard development cycle"},
      {"label": "Flexible (weeks+)", "description": "No immediate deadline"}
    ],
    "multiSelect": false
  }
]

Wait for responses, then ask for the feature/task description if not already provided.

Step 2: Understanding Phase

After gathering input, produce:

Feature Summary Table

Aspect	Details
What	[Restate the feature/task in your own words]
Why	[User benefit or business value]
Scope	[What's included and excluded]

User Stories Table

#	As a...	I want...	So that...
1	[user type]	[capability]	[benefit]
2	[user type]	[capability]	[benefit]

Acceptance Criteria Table

#	Criterion	How to Verify
1	[What must be true]	[Test or check]
2	[What must be true]	[Test or check]

Step 3: Codebase Analysis

Scan the codebase and produce:

Related Code Table

File/Module	Relevance	Notes
[path]	High/Med/Low	[How it relates]

Patterns to Follow Table

Pattern	Example Location	Apply To
[Pattern name]	[File path]	[Where to use]

Dependencies Table

This Feature Depends On	Type
[Module/file]	Required/Optional

This Feature Will Affect	Impact
[Module/file]	High/Med/Low

Step 4: Impact Analysis Table

Area	Files Affected	Risk Level	Notes
Models	[list]	High/Med/Low	[details]
ViewModels	[list]	High/Med/Low	[details]
Views	[list]	High/Med/Low	[details]
Services/Managers	[list]	High/Med/Low	[details]
Tests	[list]	High/Med/Low	[details]

Step 5: Implementation Plan Table

Phase	Task	Files	Risk	Depends On
A: Foundation	[Task 1]	[files]	Low	-
A: Foundation	[Task 2]	[files]	Low	Task 1
B: Core Logic	[Task 3]	[files]	Med	Phase A
B: Core Logic	[Task 4]	[files]	Med	Task 3
C: UI Integration	[Task 5]	[files]	Med	Phase B
C: UI Integration	[Task 6]	[files]	Low	Task 5
D: Polish	[Task 7]	[files]	Low	Phase C
D: Polish	[Task 8]	[files]	Low	-

Step 6: Risk Assessment Table

Risk	Likelihood	Impact	Mitigation
[Risk description]	High/Med/Low	High/Med/Low	[How to mitigate]

Step 7: Test Plan Table

Test Type	What to Test	Priority
Unit	[Functionality]	High/Med/Low
Integration	[Functionality]	High/Med/Low
UI	[Functionality]	High/Med/Low

Step 8: Rollback Strategy Table

Scenario	Rollback Action
[What could go wrong]	[How to undo]

Step 9: Clarifying Questions

If anything is unclear, use AskUserQuestion before finalizing:

code

AskUserQuestion with questions:
[
  {
    "question": "[Specific question about scope/behavior]",
    "header": "Scope",
    "options": [
      {"label": "[Option A]", "description": "[What this means]"},
      {"label": "[Option B]", "description": "[What this means]"}
    ],
    "multiSelect": false
  }
]

Step 10: Final Deliverables Summary

Deliverable	Status
Feature specification	✅ Complete
File-by-file plan	✅ Complete
Phased task list	✅ Complete
Test plan	✅ Complete
Rollback strategy	✅ Complete

Step 11: Ready to Proceed?

Use AskUserQuestion to confirm:

code

AskUserQuestion with questions:
[
  {
    "question": "How would you like to proceed?",
    "header": "Action",
    "options": [
      {"label": "Start Phase A", "description": "Begin implementation with foundation tasks"},
      {"label": "Refine the plan", "description": "Discuss or adjust before starting"},
      {"label": "Save for later", "description": "Keep plan but don't start now"}
    ],
    "multiSelect": false
  }
]
