vimalinx candidate-plan-generator
Responsibility
Produce at least two viable plans from the same request so the user can choose a strategy instead of inheriting a single hidden assumption set.
Inputs
- normalized request object
- routing hints
- available workflow options
Outputs
- conservative plan
- efficient plan
- optional exploratory plan
Workflow
- Build a baseline conservative plan with explicit prerequisites.
- Build a faster or leaner efficient plan with clear trade-offs.
- Add an exploratory plan only when uncertainty is materially high.
- Make risks, outputs, and validation criteria explicit per plan.
Guardrails
- Never return only one plan unless the task is truly degenerate.
- Separate strategy differences from formatting differences.
- Plans should describe stages and validations, not raw shell transcripts.
