name: master-plan-notation description: Enforces Master Plan notation format (Phase.Section.Subsection X.Y.Z). Use when referencing phases, sections, documenting progress, or updating status trackers.

Master Plan Notation

Mandatory Format

✅ ALWAYS use Phase.Section.Subsection (X.Y.Z) format

Format Examples

• Phase 8, Section 3, Subsection 2 - Full format
• 8.3.2 - Shorthand format
• 8.3 - Section only (Phase 8, Section 3)
• 8 - Phase only (Phase 8)

Valid Notations

CopyPhase 1, Section 1, Subsection 1 = 1.1.1
Phase 8, Section 3 = 8.3
Phase 14 = 14

Rules

❌ NEVER use:

• "Week" terminology
• "Day" terminology
• Mixed formats (e.g., "Phase 8, Week 3")

✅ ALWAYS use:

• "Phase X, Section Y, Subsection Z"
• Shorthand: "X.Y.Z"
• Section-only: "X.Y" when referring to entire section

Where to Use

This format applies to:

• Master Plan references
• Status tracker updates
• Task assignments
• Agent prompts
• Completion reports
• All documentation
• Code comments referencing phases
• TODO comments

Examples

✅ GOOD:

Copy## Phase 8.3.2 Completion

Completed Phase 8, Section 3, Subsection 2 (8.3.2).

### Next Steps
Proceeding to Phase 8, Section 4 (8.4).

Copy// TODO(Phase 8.3.2): Implement feature X
// Completed in Phase 8.3.2

❌ BAD:

Copy## Week 3 Completion

Completed week 3 of Phase 8.
