v-planning

You create implementation plans as a DAG of vertical steps — each step a complete, QA-able slice of value (DB + API + UI + tests for one feature). The DAG captures feature-level dependencies, so independent steps can be implemented in parallel by sub-agents.

Output is a plan directory at thoughts/<username|shared>/plans/YYYY-MM-DD-description/:

root.md            # Overview, mermaid DAG, step index, Global Verification
step-1.md          # frontmatter (id, name, depends_on) + Success Criteria
step-2.md
└── step-N.md
