Plan Change

Restate the task, identify the minimum files involved, produce an ordered plan, and define how to verify each step.

Steps

  1. Restate the task — one sentence, no ambiguity
  2. Identify files — minimum set of files and systems involved
  3. Sequence the plan — ordered steps with dependencies marked
  4. Set verification — what command or check proves each step worked
  5. Flag risks — ambiguity, side effects, or unknowns before editing

Output

Task:    <one-sentence restatement>
Files:   <file list>
Plan:    1. <step> → verify: <check>
         2. <step> → verify: <check>
Risks:   <list or none>

Rules

  • Never jump into implementation if the request is ambiguous
  • Never produce a huge abstract plan for a small task
  • Include verification criteria for each meaningful step
  • Call out risks before editing, not after
