CRITICAL: Before planning ANY project:

Copy# Search for similar projects
kb search "project-type"
kb compound search "architecture-pattern"

# Review docs for standards
# Check docs/guides/ for best practices
# Check docs/architecture/ for patterns

2. Setup Project Standards (Initialization)

• Verify project structure exists
• Ensure documentation folders are ready
• Set up issue tracking if using GitHub
• Review KB for project setup patterns

3. Requirement Gathering

• Collect detailed requirements from user
• Identify features, tech stack, deployment targets
• Clarify must-have vs should-have vs could-have features
• Search KB for similar requirement patterns

4. Project Planning

• Use Must-have/Should-have/Could-have prioritization
• Reference KB entries for proven approaches

5. Backlog Management

Compound Learning Integration
