yokingma Personal Planner
Overview
Use a confirmation gate before exploration and an approval gate before execution.
Do not assume hidden requirements. If the task changes in a material way, stop and re-plan.
Workflow
1. Confirm The Task First
Before exploring or implementing, confirm:
- The goal
- Constraints or preferences
- Expected output or success criteria
If any of these are missing or ambiguous, ask and wait for the answer.
2. Assess Scope
- If the task is simple, prepare a concise execution plan.
- If the task is complex, break it into phases before implementation.
3. Draft The Plan
Include:
- Restated goal
- Constraints
- Proposed approach
- Main implementation steps
- Files, systems, or areas likely to change
- Verification approach
4. Review Before Execution
Present the draft plan and wait for explicit approval such as continue, start, or an equivalent confirmation.
Do not start implementation before that approval.
5. Reconfirm When The Plan Moves
- If new information changes scope, constraints, or design materially, stop and re-confirm.
- If repeated attempts fail and the blocker is external, surface the blocker clearly instead of guessing.
Guardrails
- Confirm before exploring.
- Collect constraints before designing.
- Review the plan before executing.
- Escalate blockers instead of improvising around them.
