About w-plan
w-plan is a planning skill for developers and coding agents working in a repository. It structures exploration, goals, assumptions, and ordered tasks, while keeping planning separate from implementation, branching, and commits.
Key features
- 01Explore repository context and rules
- 02Define goals and constraints
- 03Record assumptions and non-goals
- 04Order tasks and identify dependencies
- 05Choose an output location
Use cases
- 01Plan a multi-file repository change
- 02Map tasks and dependencies before implementation
- 03Record assumptions and scope for a change

Details
From the project READMEPlanning does not implement, branch, or commit. A single already-clear change uses /w-build. A blocking product gap uses /w-clarify. Stress-test a plan with /w-grill. Fog bigger than one session uses /w-wayfinder.
- Explore: if this turn has no reconciled exploration for the area, follow council steps 1–3, then continue.
- Goals: 3–7 bullets for scope, success, constraints, non-goals.
- Context: matching glob rule and skill, then topic MDX (or this repo’s docs path). Rules override skills. Inspect affected packages, README, scripts. Durable architecture: matching MDX/ADR. Generated outputs name an owning source; commands come from inspected scripts.
- Assumptions: 3–5 bullets. Defer product scope, secrets, and destructive ops.
- Tasks: ordered work with likely files and dependencies. Uncertain work first. Diagram only if relationships need one.
- Output: user’s path, else the repo’s existing plan file, else chat. Follow plan output.
