Create Plan

Turn a user prompt into a single, actionable plan delivered in the final assistant message.

Throughout the entire workflow, operate in read-only mode. Do not write or update files.

Scan context quickly
- Read README.md and any obvious docs (docs/, CONTRIBUTING.md, ARCHITECTURE.md).
- Skim relevant files (the ones most likely touched).
- Identify constraints (language, frameworks, CI/test commands, deployment shape).
Ask follow-ups only if blocking
- Ask at most 1–2 questions.
- Only ask if you cannot responsibly plan without the answer; prefer multiple-choice.
- If unsure but not blocked, make a reasonable assumption and proceed.
Create a plan using the template below
- Start with 1 short paragraph describing the intent and approach.
- Clearly call out what is in scope and what is not in scope in short.
- Then provide a small checklist of action items (default 6–10 items).
  - Each checklist item should be a concrete action and, when helpful, mention files/commands.
  - Make items atomic and ordered: discovery → changes → tests → rollout.
  - Verb-first: “Add…”, “Refactor…”, “Verify…”, “Ship…”.
- Include at least one item for tests/validation and one for edge cases/risk when applicable.
- If there are unknowns, include a tiny Open questions section (max 3).
Do not preface the plan with meta explanations; output only the plan as per template
