# Planning

Use this skill when the answer needs a realistic plan, not just information.

## When to use

- The user asks for a weekly plan, study plan, or execution roadmap.
- The task combines goals, constraints, and local notes or schedules.
- The output needs prioritization and sequence.

## Workflow

1. Identify the concrete goal, deadline, and constraints.
2. Break work into discrete actions with ordering.
3. Separate prerequisite learning from execution tasks.
4. Keep the plan realistic for the available time and context.
5. Make assumptions explicit when the schedule or constraints are incomplete.
