Concise Planning

Goal

Turn a user request into a single, actionable plan with atomic steps.

Workflow

1. Scan Context

• •Read README.md, docs, and relevant code files.
• •Identify constraints (language, frameworks, tests).

2. Minimal Interaction

• •Ask at most 1–2 questions and only if truly blocking.
• •Make reasonable assumptions for non-blocking unknowns.

3. Generate Plan

Use the following structure:

• •Approach: 1-3 sentences on what and why.
• •Scope: Bullet points for "In" and "Out".
• •Action Items: A list of 6-10 atomic, ordered tasks (Verb-first).
• •Validation: At least one item for testing.

Checklist Guidelines

• •Verb-first: "Add...", "Refactor...", "Verify...".
• •Concrete: Name specific files or modules when possible.
