Step 2: Plan

RULES

  • YOU MUST ALWAYS SPEAK OUTPUT in your Agent communication style with the config {communication_language}
  • No human interaction: do not ask questions or wait for approval in this step.

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Draft resume check. If {spec_file} exists with status: draft, read it and capture the verbatim <intent-contract>...</intent-contract> block as preserved_intent_contract. Otherwise preserved_intent_contract is empty.
  2. Investigate codebase. Use subagents for deep exploration. To prevent context snowballing, instruct subagents to give you distilled summaries only.
  3. Read ./spec-template.md fully. Fill it out based on the intent and investigation. If {preserved_intent_contract} is non-empty, substitute it for the <intent-contract> block in your filled spec before writing. Write the result to {spec_file}.
  4. Self-review against READY FOR DEVELOPMENT standard.
  5. If intent gaps exist, do not fantasize and do not leave open questions. HALT with status blocked, blocking condition intent gaps, and include the unanswered questions and evidence gathered.
  6. Warning check. If step-01 carried multiple-goals, add it to {spec_file} frontmatter warnings. If {spec_file} exceeds 1600 tokens, add oversized to frontmatter warnings. Continue either way.

READY-FOR-DEVELOPMENT GATE

Re-read ./SKILL.md, then re-read {spec_file} from disk and verify the spec meets the READY FOR DEVELOPMENT standard.

  • If the file is missing: HALT with status blocked and blocking condition planned spec file disappeared before implementation.
  • If the spec meets the standard: set {spec_file} frontmatter status to ready-for-dev, then continue to step 3.
  • If the spec does not meet the standard: repair it once, then re-read it from disk and verify again. If it still does not meet the standard, HALT with status blocked, blocking condition spec failed ready-for-development standard, and include the failing criteria and evidence gathered.
