Plan Creation Stage

Based on our full exchange, produce a markdown plan document.

Requirements for the plan

• •Include clear, minimal, concise steps.
• •Track the status of each step using these emojis:
  • •🟩 Done
  • •🟨 In Progress
  • •🟥 To Do
• •Include dynamic tracking of overall progress percentage (at top).
• •Do NOT add extra scope or unnecessary complexity beyond explicitly clarified details.
• •Steps should be modular, elegant, minimal, and integrate seamlessly within the existing codebase.

File Location and Naming

• •Save the plan in a plans/ directory at the repository root.
• •Use a numeric prefix counter in the filename to ensure plans appear in creation order.
• •Format: plans/XXX-plan-name.md where XXX is a zero-padded 3-digit number (e.g., 001, 002, 003).
• •To determine the next number:
  1. •List existing files in plans/ directory
  2. •Find the highest numbered prefix
  3. •Use the next sequential number
  4. •If no plans exist, start with 001
• •Example filenames:
  • •plans/001-feature-implementation.md
  • •plans/002-api-refactor.md
  • •plans/003-database-migration.md

Markdown Template

Use this template structure:

# Feature Implementation Plan

**Overall Progress:** `0%`

## TLDR
Short summary of what we're building and why.

## Critical Decisions
Key architectural/implementation choices made during exploration:
- Decision 1: [choice] - [brief rationale]
- Decision 2: [choice] - [brief rationale]

## Tasks:

- [ ] 🟥 **Step 1: [Name]**
  - [ ] 🟥 Subtask 1
  - [ ] 🟥 Subtask 2

- [ ] 🟥 **Step 2: [Name]**
  - [ ] 🟥 Subtask 1
  - [ ] 🟥 Subtask 2

...

Progress Calculation

Calculate overall progress percentage based on completed steps:

• •Count total steps (including subtasks)
• •Count completed steps (🟩 status)
• •Percentage = (completed / total) × 100
• •Round to nearest whole number
• •Update the progress percentage at the top when creating or updating the plan

Status Updates

When updating plan status:

• •Change emoji from 🟥 → 🟨 → 🟩 as work progresses
• •Update checkbox state: - [ ] for incomplete, - [x] for complete
• •Recalculate and update overall progress percentage
• •Keep status consistent across the document

Important Notes

• •This is a planning stage—do not start implementation yet
• •Focus only on what was explicitly discussed
• •Avoid adding extra features or complexity
• •Keep steps atomic and testable
• •Ensure steps can be completed independently where possible
• •Maintain the existing codebase structure and patterns
