Plan

Produce implementation plans grounded in project principles. Write plans to brain/plans/. Do NOT implement anything — the plan is the deliverable.

Use Tasks to track progress. Create a task for each step (TaskCreate), mark each in_progress when starting and completed when done (TaskUpdate). Check TaskList after completing each step.

Step 0 — Triage Complexity

Before running the full planning workflow, assess whether this task actually needs a plan:

Trivially small (1–2 files, obvious approach): Tell the user this task doesn't need a plan and suggest implementing directly without the plan skill. Stop here — do not implement.

Needs planning (proceed to Step 1):

• The change spans 3+ files or introduces new architecture
• There are multiple valid approaches and the user should weigh in
• The task has unclear scope or cross-cutting concerns
• The user explicitly asks for a plan
