Planning

Structured task decomposition and tracking.

Turn complex goals into actionable steps.

[!TIP] Plans here are living documents. Unlike plan-then-execute, these evolve as you learn.

What This Is

A flexible planning system for:

• Breaking down large tasks
• Tracking progress
• Adapting as you learn
• Documenting decisions

Unlike plan-then-execute/: Plans here are living documents that evolve.

      status: done
      
    - id: 2
      name: "Implement login endpoint"
      status: in_progress
      subtasks:
        - "Create route handler"
        - "Add validation"
        - "Write tests"
        
    - id: 3
      name: "Add session management"
