**Initial planning (v1.0):** - 3-6 phases total (more = scope creep) - Each phase delivers something coherent - Phases can have 1+ plans (split if >7 tasks or multiple subsystems) - Plans use naming: {phase}-{plan}-PLAN.md (e.g., 01-02-PLAN.md) - No time estimates (this isn't enterprise PM) - Progress table updated by transition workflow - Plan count can be "TBD" initially, refined during planning

After milestones ship:

• Reorganize with milestone groupings (see below)
• Collapse completed milestones in <details> tags
• Add new milestone sections for upcoming work
• Keep continuous phase numbering (never restart at 01)

<status_values>

• Not started - Haven't begun
• In progress - Currently working
• Complete - Done (add completion date)
• Deferred - Pushed to later (with reason) </status_values>
