Plan Feature

Plan Feature: $ARGUMENTS

Mission

Transform a feature request into a comprehensive implementation plan through systematic codebase analysis. The plan must contain ALL information needed for one-pass implementation success.

We do NOT write code in this phase. Our goal is a context-rich plan that enables the execution agent to succeed on the first attempt.

Planning Process

Phase 1: Feature Understanding

• Extract the core problem being solved
• Identify user value and business impact
• Determine feature type: New Capability / Enhancement / Refactor / Bug Fix
• Assess complexity: Low / Medium / High
• Map affected systems and components

Create or refine a user story:

As a <type of user>
I want to <action/goal>
So that <benefit/value>

If requirements are unclear, ask the user to clarify before continuing.

Phase 2: Codebase Analysis

Use parallel searches and file reads to gather intelligence efficiently:

1. Read project context - Read CLAUDE.md and .claude/PRD.md for architecture and domain understanding
2. Find similar implementations - Search for existing patterns that match the feature's domain
3. Map integration points - Identify existing files that need updates and where new files should go
4. Check dependencies - Catalog external libraries relevant to the feature, check versions
5. Review test patterns - Find similar test examples to follow

Key areas to investigate:

• src/MooBank.Domain/ - Domain entities, aggregates, specifications
• src/MooBank.Modules.*/ - Existing CQRS command/query/endpoint patterns
• src/MooBank.Infrastructure/ - Repository implementations
• src/MooBank.Web.App/src/ - Frontend components, pages, hooks, services
• tests/ - Test structure and conventions

Extract actual code examples from similar features. Include file paths and line numbers so the execution agent can reference them directly.

Phase 3: External Research

Only if the feature involves unfamiliar libraries or APIs:

• Research latest documentation with specific section anchors
• Find implementation examples and best practices
• Identify common gotchas and breaking changes

Phase 4: Generate Plan

Read the plan template at .claude/skills/plan-feature/template.md and use it to structure the output. Fill every section with specific, actionable detail from your research.

Save the plan to: .agents/plans/{kebab-case-feature-name}.md

Create the .agents/plans/ directory if it doesn't exist.

Quality Criteria

• Another developer could implement without additional context
• Tasks ordered by dependency (execute top-to-bottom)
• Each task is atomic and independently testable
• Pattern references include specific file:line numbers
• Every task has an executable validation command
• No generic references - all specific and actionable

Output

After creating the plan, provide:

• Summary of feature and approach
• Full path to created plan file
• Complexity assessment
• Key implementation risks
• Confidence score (/10) for one-pass implementation success
