# Planning Code Goal

## Quick Start

```bash
# Define code goal
Goal: Implement OAuth2 authentication

# SPARC-GOAP generates phased plan:
Phase 1 (Specification): Define requirements, acceptance criteria
Phase 2 (Pseudocode): Design algorithms, state machines
Phase 3 (Architecture): Design components, API contracts
Phase 4 (Refinement): TDD implementation cycles
Phase 5 (Completion): Integration, validation, deployment

# Execute with SPARC commands
```

## When to Use

- Feature implementation requiring systematic breakdown
- Performance optimization with measurable targets
- Testing strategy development with coverage goals
- API development with clear contract definitions
- Database evolution with migration planning
- Technical debt reduction with incremental milestones

## Prerequisites

- Understanding of SPARC methodology phases
- Clear definition of desired outcome
- Access to codebase for state analysis
- Measurable success criteria
