# Writing Plans

## Overview

Create comprehensive implementation plans with bite-sized tasks (2-5 minutes each). Every task has exact file paths, complete code, verification steps, and TDD flow.

**Core principle:** Document everything the engineer needs. DRY. YAGNI. TDD. Frequent commits.

## When to Use

- After design approval (from brainstorming)
- When you have specs/requirements for multi-step work
- Before any implementation begins

## Task Structure

Each task follows: Write failing test -> Verify fail -> Implement minimal code -> Verify pass -> Commit

## Plan Format

- Header: Goal, Architecture, Tech Stack
- Tasks with exact file paths and complete code
- TDD steps with expected output
- Task persistence via `.tasks.json`

## Execution Handoff

After plan is written, choose:
1. **Subagent-Driven** - Fresh agent per task with two-stage review
2. **Batch Execution** - Execute in batches with human checkpoints

## Agents Used

- Process agents defined in `writing-plans.js`
