# Task planning

Plan only as much as the work needs. If execution is authorized and the next step
is small and clear, do it. A request for a plan alone does not require child tasks
or a new approval gate.

Describe the intended outcome, relevant constraints, chosen approach, and how to
verify success. Include uncertainties or decisions that affect execution. Use the
user's preferred format; keep implementation steps within one owner's task unless
another owner, useful parallel output, dependency, or independent review warrants
separate work.

Save a requested plan as the issue document with key `plan`. Update its current
revision instead of duplicating it, and link the saved document in your response.
