Plan
When creating or updating plans (in plan mode or in normal chat):
- •Location: Save plan files in
.cursor/plans/. Do not create plan files in the workspace root or ad-hoc locations. - •Format: Use the standard plan format (
.plan.mdextension) and the same structure Cursor uses for native plans (e.g. tasks in the expected plan format), so plans are consistent whether generated in plan mode or not. - •Structure: Objective, Tasks, Dependencies, Acceptance Criteria, Notes (markdown with clear sections). Match the task/todo format of
.plan.mdplans. - •Content: Clear, actionable task breakdown; include dependencies and prerequisites.
- •Never: Add timelines, schedules, cronograms, or time estimates (unless the user explicitly asks for them).
If the user has not specified a filename, use a descriptive name with .plan.md extension (e.g. my-feature.plan.md). For full structure details, see the workflow skill (Planning Workflow section).
