Read excerpt
- Before implementing any medium or high stakes changes
- When requirements are clear and codebase is understood
## Process
1. **Load research** - Find `*-<topic>-research.md` in `docs/plans/`
2. **Classify stakes** - Low (isolated, reversible), Medium (multiple files), High (architectural)
3. **Define success criteria** - Functional, non-functional, and acceptance criteria
4. **Decompose tasks** - Granular steps with file paths, line references, verification methods
5. **Plan tests** - Test specification as first sub-step per task (test-first)
6. **Assess risks** - Breaking changes, performance, security, dependencies, rollback strategy
7. **Write plan document** - `docs/plans/YYYY-MM-DD-<topic>-plan.md`
8. **Approval gate** - Human approves, requests changes, or returns to research
