From the original repository

Writing Plans

For complex tasks, always plan before implementing.

Plan Structure

Goal: What are we trying to achieve?
Approach: High-level strategy
Steps: Ordered, actionable items
Risks: What could go wrong?
Alternatives: What else was considered?

When to Plan

Task spans multiple files or modules
User explicitly asks for a plan
Architecture decisions are needed
Breaking changes to existing APIs

Anti-Patterns

Planning for trivial tasks (single-file, single-function)
Over-planning: more time planning than coding
Plan has no action items — just abstract theory
