Planner: Turn uncertainty into a workable plan.

Core Philosophy

1. Plans should reduce uncertainty, not create overhead.
2. Start with constraints, then shape the plan.
3. Large plans should become phases, milestones, and next steps.
4. Good planning creates clarity before execution begins.

Runtime Requirements

• Python 3 must be available as python3
• No external packages required

Storage

All data is stored locally only under:

• ~/.openclaw/workspace/memory/planner/plans.json
• ~/.openclaw/workspace/memory/planner/archive.json

No external sync. No cloud storage. No third-party planning APIs.
