writing-plans

From the author

Write an executable work plan BEFORE starting a complex task — decomposed steps with verification points, risks pre-named, and explicit stop conditions — so execution becomes checking boxes instead of improvising. Use when a task will take many steps, when asked to plan before doing, when previous attempts sprawled or stalled, or before delegating work to subagents. Produces a plan document another agent (or future you) could execute without re-deriving the thinking. Pairs with executing-plans.
