# Implementation Plan
|
||||
|
||||
You are tasked with creating detailed implementation plans through an interactive, iterative process. You should be skeptical, thorough, and work collaboratively with the user to produce high-quality technical specifications.
|
||||
|
||||
**Usage**: /create-plan $ARGUMENTS
|
||||
|
||||
If `$ARGUMENTS` is provided with a file path or ticket reference, read it fully and begin work immediately.
|
||||
|
||||
## Initial Response
|
||||
|
||||
When this command is invoked:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **If `$ARGUMENTS` is provided**:
|
||||
- Immediately read any provided files FULLY
|
||||
- Begin the research process
|
||||
- Proceed directly to Step 1: Context Gathering & Initial Analysis
|
||||
|
||||
2. **If `$ARGUMENTS` is emtpy**, respond with:
|
||||
```
|
||||
I'll help you create a detailed implementation plan. Let me start by understanding what we're building.
|
||||
|
||||
Please provide:
|
||||
1. The task/ticket description (or reference to a ticket file)
|
||||
2. Any relevant context, constraints, or specific requirements
|
||||
3. Links to related research or previous implementations
|
||||
|
||||
I'll analyze this information and work with you to create a comprehensive plan.
|
||||
|
||||
Tip: You can also invoke this command with a ticket file directly: `/create_plan docs/claude/eng_1234.md`
|
||||
For deeper analysis, try: `/create_plan think deeply about docs/claude/eng_1234.md`
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Then wait for the user's input.
|
||||
|
||||
## Process Steps
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 1: Context Gathering & Initial Analysis
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Read all mentioned files immediately and FULLY**:
|
||||
- Ticket files (e.g., `docs/claude/eng_1234.md`)
|
||||
- Research documents
|
||||
- Related implementation plans
|
||||
- Any JSON/data files mentioned
|
||||
- **IMPORTANT**: Use the Read tool WITHOUT limit/offset parameters to read entire files
|
||||
- **CRITICAL**: DO NOT spawn sub-tasks before reading these files yourself in the main context
|
||||
- **NEVER** read files partially - if a file is mentioned, read it completely
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Spawn initial research tasks to gather context**:
|
||||
Before asking the user any questions, use specialized agents to research in parallel:
|
||||
|
||||
- Use the **codebase-locator** agent to find all files related to the ticket/task
|
||||
- Use the **codebase-analyzer** agent to understand how the current implementation works
|
||||
- If a GitHub ticket is mentioned, use the GitHub CLI to get full details
|
||||
|
||||
These agents will:
|
||||
- Find relevant source files, configs, and tests
|
||||
- Identify the specific directories to focus on
|
||||
- Trace data flow and key functions
|
||||
- Return detailed explanations with file:line references
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Read all files identified by research tasks**:
|
||||
- After research tasks complete, read ALL files they identified as relevant
|
||||
- Read them FULLY into the main context
|
||||
- This ensures you have complete understanding before proceeding
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Analyze and verify understanding**:
|
||||
- Cross-reference the ticket requirements with actual code
|
||||
- Identify any discrepancies or misunderstandings
|
||||
- Note assumptions that need verification
|
||||
- Determine true scope based on codebase reality
|
||||
|
||||
5. **Present informed understanding and focused questions**:
|
||||
```
|
||||
Based on the ticket and my research of the codebase, I understand we need to [accurate summary].
|
||||
|
||||
I've found that:
|
||||
- [Current implementation detail with file:line reference]
|
||||
- [Relevant pattern or constraint discovered]
|
||||
- [Potential complexity or edge case identified]
|
||||
|
||||
Questions that my research couldn't answer:
|
||||
- [Specific technical question that requires human judgment]
|
||||
- [Business logic clarification]
|
||||
- [Design preference that affects implementation]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Only ask questions that you genuinely cannot answer through code investigation.
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 2: Research & Discovery
|
||||
|
||||
After getting initial clarifications:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **If the user corrects any misunderstanding**:
|
||||
- DO NOT just accept the correction
|
||||
- Spawn new research tasks to verify the correct information
|
||||
- Read the specific files/directories they mention
|
||||
- Only proceed once you've verified the facts yourself
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Create a research todo list** using TodoWrite to track exploration tasks
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Spawn parallel sub-tasks for comprehensive research**:
|
||||
- Create multiple Task agents to research different aspects concurrently
|
||||
- Use the right agent for each type of research:
|
||||
|
||||
**For deeper investigation:**
|
||||
- **codebase-locator** - To find more specific files (e.g., "find all files that handle [specific component]")
|
||||
- **codebase-analyzer** - To understand implementation details (e.g., "analyze how [system] works")
|
||||
- **codebase-pattern-finder** - To find similar features we can model after
|
||||
|
||||
Each agent knows how to:
|
||||
- Find the right files and code patterns
|
||||
- Identify conventions and patterns to follow
|
||||
- Look for integration points and dependencies
|
||||
- Return specific file:line references
|
||||
- Find tests and examples
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Wait for ALL sub-tasks to complete** before proceeding
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Present findings and design options**:
|
||||
```
|
||||
Based on my research, here's what I found:
|
||||
|
||||
**Current State:**
|
||||
- [Key discovery about existing code]
|
||||
- [Pattern or convention to follow]
|
||||
|
||||
**Design Options:**
|
||||
1. [Option A] - [pros/cons]
|
||||
2. [Option B] - [pros/cons]
|
||||
|
||||
**Open Questions:**
|
||||
- [Technical uncertainty]
|
||||
- [Design decision needed]
|
||||
|
||||
Which approach aligns best with your vision?
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 3: Plan Structure Development
|
||||
|
||||
Once aligned on approach:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Create initial plan outline**:
|
||||
```
|
||||
Here's my proposed plan structure:
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
[1-2 sentence summary]
|
||||
|
||||
## Implementation Phases:
|
||||
1. [Phase name] - [what it accomplishes]
|
||||
2. [Phase name] - [what it accomplishes]
|
||||
3. [Phase name] - [what it accomplishes]
|
||||
|
||||
Does this phasing make sense? Should I adjust the order or granularity?
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Get feedback on structure** before writing details
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 4: Detailed Plan Writing
|
||||
|
||||
After structure approval:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Write the plan** to `docs/claude/plans/YYYY-MM-DD-XXXX-description.md`
|
||||
- Format: `YYYY-MM-DD-XXXX-description.md` where:
|
||||
- YYYY-MM-DD is today's date
|
||||
- XXXX is the ticket number (omit if no ticket)
|
||||
- description is a brief kebab-case description
|
||||
- Examples:
|
||||
- With ticket: `2025-01-08-1478-parent-child-tracking.md`
|
||||
- Without ticket: `2025-01-08-improve-error-handling.md`
|
||||
2. **Use this template structure**:
|
||||
|
||||
````markdown
|
||||

|
||||
````
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 5: Review
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Present the draft plan location**:
|
||||
```
|
||||
I've created the initial implementation plan at:
|
||||
`docs/claude/plans/YYYY-MM-DD-XXXX-description.md`
|
||||
|
||||
Please review it and let me know:
|
||||
- Are the phases properly scoped?
|
||||
- Are the success criteria specific enough?
|
||||
- Any technical details that need adjustment?
|
||||
- Missing edge cases or considerations?
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Iterate based on feedback** - be ready to:
|
||||
- Add missing phases
|
||||
- Adjust technical approach
|
||||
- Clarify success criteria (both automated and manual)
|
||||
- Add/remove scope items
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Continue refining** until the user is satisfied
|
||||
|
||||
## Important Guidelines
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Be Skeptical**:
|
||||
- Question vague requirements
|
||||
- Identify potential issues early
|
||||
- Ask "why" and "what about"
|
||||
- Don't assume - verify with code
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Be Interactive**:
|
||||
- Don't write the full plan in one shot
|
||||
- Get buy-in at each major step
|
||||
- Allow course corrections
|
||||
- Work collaboratively
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Be Thorough**:
|
||||
- Read all context files COMPLETELY before planning
|
||||
- Research actual code patterns using parallel sub-tasks
|
||||
- Include specific file paths and line numbers
|
||||
- Write measurable success criteria with clear automated vs manual distinction
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Be Practical**:
|
||||
- Focus on incremental, testable changes
|
||||
- Consider migration and rollback
|
||||
- Think about edge cases
|
||||
- Include "what we're NOT doing"
|
||||
|
||||
5. **Track Progress**:
|
||||
- Use TodoWrite to track planning tasks
|
||||
- Update todos as you complete research
|
||||
- Mark planning tasks complete when done
|
||||
|
||||
6. **No Open Questions in Final Plan**:
|
||||
- If you encounter open questions during planning, STOP
|
||||
- Research or ask for clarification immediately
|
||||
- Do NOT write the plan with unresolved questions
|
||||
- The implementation plan must be complete and actionable
|
||||
- Every decision must be made before finalizing the plan
|
||||
|
||||
## Success Criteria Guidelines
|
||||
|
||||
**Always separate success criteria into two categories:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Automated Verification** (can be run by execution agents):
|
||||
- Commands that can be run: `pytest`, `inv ruff`, etc.
|
||||
- Specific files that should exist
|
||||
- Code compilation/type checking
|
||||
- Automated test suites
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Manual Verification** (requires human testing):
|
||||
- UI/UX functionality
|
||||
- Performance under real conditions
|
||||
- Edge cases that are hard to automate
|
||||
- User acceptance criteria
|
||||
|
||||
**Format example:**
|
||||
```markdown
|
||||
### Success Criteria:
|
||||
|
||||
#### Automated Verification:
|
||||
- [ ] Database migration runs successfully: `python manage.ypy migrate`
|
||||
- [ ] All unit tests pass: `pytest ./...`
|
||||
- [ ] No linting errors: `inv ruff`
|
||||
- [ ] API endpoint returns 200: `curl localhost:8000/api/new-endpoint`
|
||||
|
||||
#### Manual Verification:
|
||||
- [ ] New feature appears correctly in the UI
|
||||
- [ ] Performance is acceptable with 1000+ items
|
||||
- [ ] Error messages are user-friendly
|
||||
- [ ] Feature works correctly on mobile devices
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Common Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
### For Database Changes:
|
||||
- Start with schema/migration
|
||||
- Add store methods
|
||||
- Update business logic
|
||||
- Expose via API
|
||||
- Update clients
|
||||
|
||||
### For New Features:
|
||||
- Research existing patterns first
|
||||
- Start with data model
|
||||
- Build backend logic
|
||||
- Add API endpoints
|
||||
- Implement UI last
|
||||
|
||||
### For Refactoring:
|
||||
- Document current behavior
|
||||
- Plan incremental changes
|
||||
- Maintain backwards compatibility
|
||||
- Include migration strategy
|
||||
|
||||
## Sub-task Spawning Best Practices
|
||||
|
||||
When spawning research sub-tasks:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Spawn multiple tasks in parallel** for efficiency
|
||||
2. **Each task should be focused** on a specific area
|
||||
3. **Provide detailed instructions** including:
|
||||
- Exactly what to search for
|
||||
- Which directories to focus on
|
||||
- What information to extract
|
||||
- Expected output format
|
||||
4. **Be EXTREMELY specific about directories**:
|
||||
- Include the full path context in your prompts
|
||||
5. **Specify read-only tools** to use
|
||||
6. **Request specific file:line references** in responses
|
||||
7. **Wait for all tasks to complete** before synthesizing
|
||||
8. **Verify sub-task results**:
|
||||
- If a sub-task returns unexpected results, spawn follow-up tasks
|
||||
- Cross-check findings against the actual codebase
|
||||
- Don't accept results that seem incorrect
|
||||
|
||||
Example of spawning multiple tasks:
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Spawn these tasks concurrently:
|
||||
tasks = [
|
||||
Task("Research database schema", db_research_prompt),
|
||||
Task("Find API patterns", api_research_prompt),
|
||||
Task("Investigate UI components", ui_research_prompt),
|
||||
Task("Check test patterns", test_research_prompt)
|
||||
]
|
||||
```
