Plans directory: !${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/config-read-path.sh plans

You are tasked with implementing an approved technical plan from the configured plans directory (shown above). These plans contain phases with specific changes and success criteria.

Getting Started

When given a plan path:

Read the plan completely and check for any existing checkmarks (- [x])
Read the original work item and all files mentioned in the plan
Read files fully - never use limit/offset parameters, you need complete context
Think deeply about how the pieces fit together
Create a todo list to track your progress
Start implementing if you understand what needs to be done

If no plan path provided, ask for one.

Implementation Philosophy

Plans are carefully designed, but reality can be messy. Your job is to:

Follow the plan’s intent while adapting to what you find
Implement each phase fully before moving to the next
Verify your work makes sense in the broader codebase context
Update checkboxes in the plan as you complete sections

When things don’t match the plan exactly, think about why and communicate clearly. The plan is your guide, but your judgment matters too.

If you encounter a mismatch:

STOP and think deeply about why the plan can’t be followed

Present the issue clearly:

Issue in Phase [N]:
Expected: [what the plan says]
Found: [actual situation]
Why this matters: [explanation]

How should I proceed?

Verification Approach

After implementing a phase:

Pause and let me review all the changes you have made
Run the success criteria checks (usually ./go covers everything)
Fix any issues before proceeding
Update your progress in both the plan and your todos
Check off completed items in the plan file itself using Edit

Don’t let verification interrupt your flow - batch it at natural stopping points.

If You Get Stuck

When something isn’t working as expected:

First, make sure you’ve read and understood all the relevant code
Consider if the codebase has evolved since the plan was written
Present the mismatch clearly and ask for guidance

Use sub-tasks sparingly - mainly for targeted debugging or exploring unfamiliar territory.

Resuming Work

If the plan has existing checkmarks:

Trust that completed work is done
Pick up from the first unchecked item
Verify previous work only if something seems off

Remember: You’re implementing a solution, not just checking boxes. Keep the end goal in mind and maintain forward momentum.
