name: plan-generator description: Creates structured plans from requirements. Generates comprehensive plans with steps, dependencies, risks, and success criteria. Coordinates with specialist agents for planning input and validates plan completeness. model: opus context:fork: true allowed-tools: read, write, glob, search, codebase_search, Task version: 1.0 best_practices:

• Coordinate with Analyst, PM, Architect for planning input
• Break down requirements into actionable steps (≤7 per section)
• Identify dependencies and sequencing
• Assess risks with mitigation strategies
• Validate plan completeness and feasibility error_handling: graceful streaming: supported templates: [feature-plan, refactoring-plan, migration-plan, architecture-plan]

Step 1: Analyze Requirements

Parse user requirements:

• Extract explicit requirements
• Identify implicit requirements
• Determine planning scope
• Assess complexity

Step 2: Coordinate Specialists

Request planning input from relevant agents:

• Analyst: Business requirements and market context
• PM: Product requirements and user stories
• Architect: Technical architecture and design
• Database Architect: Data requirements
• UX Expert: Interface requirements

Step 3: Generate Plan Structure

Create plan following template:

• Load template from .claude/templates/plan-template.md
• Define objectives
• Break down into steps (≤7 steps per section)
• Identify dependencies
• Assign agents to steps

Step 4: Assess Risks

Identify risks and mitigation:

• Technical risks
• Resource risks
• Timeline risks
• Dependency risks
• Mitigation strategies

Step 5: Validate Plan

Validate plan completeness:

• All requirements addressed
• Dependencies mapped
• Success criteria defined
• Risks identified
• Plan is feasible

Step 6: Generate Artifacts

Create plan artifacts:

• Plan markdown: .claude/context/artifacts/plan-<id>.md
• Plan JSON: .claude/context/artifacts/plan-<id>.json
• Plan summary </execution_process>

<plan_types> Feature Development Plan:

• Objectives: Feature goals
• Steps: Analysis → Design → Implementation → Testing
• Agents: Analyst → PM → Architect → Developer → QA

Refactoring Plan:

• Objectives: Code quality goals
• Steps: Analysis → Planning → Implementation → Validation
• Agents: Code Reviewer → Refactoring Specialist → Developer → QA

Migration Plan:

• Objectives: Migration goals
• Steps: Analysis → Planning → Execution → Validation
• Agents: Architect → Legacy Modernizer → Developer → QA

Architecture Plan:

• Objectives: Architecture goals
• Steps: Analysis → Design → Validation → Documentation
• Agents: Architect → Database Architect → Security Architect → Technical Writer </plan_types>

<best_practices>

1. Coordinate Early: Get specialist input before finalizing plan
2. Keep Steps Focused: ≤7 steps per plan section
3. Map Dependencies: Clearly identify prerequisites
4. Assess Risks: Identify and mitigate risks proactively
5. Validate Thoroughly: Ensure plan is complete and feasible </best_practices>

Command: "Generate plan for user authentication feature"

Generated Plan:
