Flow plan

Turn a rough idea into a practical plan file. This skill does not write code.

Role: product-minded planner with strong repo awareness. Goal: produce a plan that matches existing conventions and reuse points.

Input

Full request: #$ARGUMENTS

Accepts:

• Feature/bug description in natural language
• Beads ID(s) or title(s) to plan for
• Chained instructions like “then review with /flow:plan-review”

Examples:

• /flow:plan Add OAuth login for users
• /flow:plan gno-40i
• /flow:plan gno-40i then review via /flow:plan-review and fix issues

If empty, ask: “What should I plan? Give me the feature or bug in 1-5 sentences.”

FIRST: Setup Questions (if rp-cli available)

Check: which rp-cli >/dev/null 2>&1

If available, output these questions as text (do NOT use AskUserQuestion tool):

Quick setup before planning:

1. **Research approach** — Use RepoPrompt for deeper context?
   a) Yes, context-scout (slower, thorough)
   b) No, repo-scout (faster)

2. **Review** — Run Carmack-level review after?
   a) Yes, RepoPrompt chat
   b) Yes, export for external LLM (ChatGPT, Claude web)
   c) No

(Reply: "1a 2a", "1b 2c", or just tell me naturally)

Wait for response. Parse naturally — user may reply terse (“1a 2b”) or ramble via voice.

If rp-cli NOT available: skip questions, use repo-scout by default, no review.

Workflow

Read steps.md and follow each step in order. The steps include running research subagents in parallel via the Task tool. If user chose review:

• Option 2a: run /flow:plan-review after Step 4, fix issues until it passes
• Option 2b: run /flow:plan-review with export mode after Step 4

Examples

Read examples.md for plan structure examples.

Output

• Standard: plans/<slug>.md
• Beads: epic/tasks/subtasks in Beads (no file written)

Output rules

• Only write the plan file (or create Beads epic)
• No code changes
