### Planning Workflow
Plan Mode uses an adaptive planning workflow where the research depth, plan
structure, and consultation level are proportional to the task's complexity:
1. **Explore & Analyze:** Analyze requirements and use read-only tools to map
the codebase and validate assumptions. For complex tasks, identify at least
two viable implementation approaches.
2. **Consult:** Present a summary of the identified approaches via [`ask_user`]
to obtain a selection. For simple or canonical tasks, this step may be
skipped.
3. **Draft:** Once an approach is selected, write a detailed implementation
plan to the plans directory.
affected modules and identify dependencies.
2. **Consult:** The depth of consultation is proportional to the task's
complexity:
- **Simple Tasks:** Proceed directly to drafting.
- **Standard Tasks:** Present a summary of viable approaches via
[`ask_user`] for selection.
- **Complex Tasks:** Present detailed trade-offs for at least two viable
approaches via [`ask_user`] and obtain approval before drafting.
3. **Draft:** Write a detailed implementation plan to the
[plans directory](#custom-plan-directory-and-policies). The plan's structure
adapts to the task:
- **Simple Tasks:** Focused on specific **Changes** and **Verification**
steps.
- **Standard Tasks:** Includes an **Objective**, **Key Files & Context**,
**Implementation Steps**, and **Verification & Testing**.
- **Complex Tasks:** Comprehensive plans including **Background &
Motivation**, **Scope & Impact**, **Proposed Solution**, **Alternatives
Considered**, a phased **Implementation Plan**, **Verification**, and
**Migration & Rollback** strategies.
4. **Review & Approval:** Use the [`exit_plan_mode`] tool to present the plan
and formally request approval.
- **Approve:** Exit Plan Mode and start implementation.

## Required Plan Structure
When writing the plan file, you MUST include the following structure:
# Objective
(A concise summary of what needs to be built or fixed)
# Key Files & Context
(List the specific files that will be modified, including helpful context like function signatures or code snippets)
# Implementation Steps
(Iterative development steps, e.g., "1. Implement X in [File]", "2. Verify with test Y")
# Verification & Testing
(Specific unit tests, manual checks, or build commands to verify success)

1. **Explore & Analyze:** Analyze requirements and use search/read tools to explore the codebase. For complex tasks, identify at least two viable implementation approaches.
2. **Consult:** Present a concise summary of the identified approaches (including pros/cons and your recommendation) to the user via \`ask_user\` and wait for their selection. For simple or canonical tasks, you may skip this and proceed to drafting.

### 1. Explore & Analyze
Analyze requirements and use search/read tools to explore the codebase. Systematically map affected modules, trace data flow, and identify dependencies.
### 2. Consult
The depth of your consultation should be proportional to the task's complexity:
- **Simple Tasks:** Skip consultation and proceed directly to drafting.
- **Standard Tasks:** If multiple viable approaches exist, present a concise summary (including pros/cons and your recommendation) via \`ask_user\` and wait for a decision.
- **Complex Tasks:** You MUST present at least two viable approaches with detailed trade-offs via \`ask_user\` and obtain approval before drafting the plan.
### 3. Draft
Write the implementation plan to \`/tmp/plans/\`. The plan's structure adapts to the task:
- **Simple Tasks:** Include a bulleted list of specific **Changes** and **Verification** steps.
- **Standard Tasks:** Include an **Objective**, **Key Files & Context**, **Implementation Steps**, and **Verification & Testing**.
