# Planning Mode Config

## Universal Planning Control

```yaml
Planning_Flags:
  --plan: "Force planning mode for any command"
  --skip-plan: "Skip planning mode (execute immediately)"
  default: "Execute immediately unless --plan flag is present"
  
Risk_Assessment:
  description: "Users control planning through explicit flags"
  recommendation: "Use --plan for risky ops that modify system state"
  
Universal_Planning_Behavior:
  All_Commands: "Support --plan flag for user-controlled planning"
  Planning_Output: "Use exit_plan_mode tool to present structured plan"
  User_Approval: "Wait for user confirmation before executing plan"
  Execution_Flow: "Parse → Plan (if requested) → Execute → Report"
```

## Command-Specific Planning Patterns

```yaml
Analysis_Commands:
  Commands: ["analyze", "scan", "troubleshoot", "explain"]
  Planning_Focus:
    - "Analysis scope & methodology"
    - "Tools & techniques to be used"
    - "Expected output format & location"
    - "Time estimate for analysis"
  Planning_Template: |
    ## Analysis Plan
    **Scope:** {analysis_target}
    **Method:** {analysis_approach}
    **Tools:** {tools_to_use}
    **Output:** {expected_deliverables}
    **Duration:** {time_estimate}
    
Build_Commands:
  Commands: ["build", "spawn", "design"]
  Planning_Focus:
    - "Components to be created/modified"
    - "Technology choices & dependencies"
    - "Integration points & requirements"
    - "Testing strategy & validation"
  Planning_Template: |
    ## Build Plan
    **Target:** {build_target}
    **Stack:** {technology_choices}
    **Components:** {components_to_create}
    **Dependencies:** {required_dependencies}
    **Testing:** {testing_approach}
    
Operations_Commands:
  Commands: ["deploy", "migrate", "cleanup", "git"]
  Planning_Focus:
    - "Operations to be performed"
    - "Risk assessment & mitigation"
    - "Rollback procedures"
    - "Validation & monitoring"
  Planning_Template: |
    ## Operations Plan
    **Operation:** {operation_type}
    **Target:** {operation_target}
    **Risks:** {identified_risks}
    **Mitigation:** {risk_mitigation}
    **Rollback:** {rollback_procedure}
    
Quality_Commands:
  Commands: ["test", "improve", "document"]
  Planning_Focus:
    - "Quality improvements to implement"
    - "Metrics & targets"
    - "Validation criteria"
    - "Success measurement"
  Planning_Template: |
    ## Quality Plan
    **Objective:** {quality_goal}
    **Metrics:** {success_metrics}
    **Approach:** {improvement_method}
    **Validation:** {validation_criteria}
```

## Risk Assessment Patterns
```yaml
Risk Triggers:
  Prod: deploy --env prod | migrate --rollback false
  Data Loss: cleanup --all | migrate w/o --dry-run
  System Wide: spawn --task | improve --iterate
  Arch: design --api | troubleshoot --prod
  
Checkpoint Required:
  - Before: deploy, migrate, cleanup --all
  - During: Long-running improve --iterate
  - After: Any operation with warnings

Safety Overrides:
  --no-plan: Skip planning only for SKIP_PLANNING commands
  --plan: Force planning for any command
  --dry-run: Safe preview mode, skip planning
```

## Planning Workflow Integration

```yaml
Pre-Execution_Check:
  1: "Parse command name and flags"
  2: "Check user --plan flag request"
  3: "Assess operation complexity & risk"
  4: "If planning requested → generate plan → exit_plan_mode"
  5: "Await user approval before execution"
  6: "Create checkpoint if risky operation"
  7: "Proceed with execution"

Planning_Content_Requirements:
  Always_Include:
    - "Command intent & objective"
    - "Resources to be affected/modified"
    - "Risk assessment & mitigation"
    - "Expected outcomes & deliverables"
  
  Conditionally_Include:
    - "Time estimate (for complex operations)"
    - "Dependencies & prerequisites"
    - "Validation steps & success criteria"
    - "Rollback procedures (for risky operations)"
  
  Format_Requirements:
    - "Use exit_plan_mode tool for plan presentation"
    - "Structured markdown format"
    - "Clear sections & bullet points"
    - "Actionable & specific details"

Claude_Code_Compliance:
  Planning_Mode_Support:
    - "All commands must support --plan flag"
    - "Planning behavior must be consistent"
    - "User controls when planning occurs"
    - "No automatic forced planning"
  
  Plan_Quality_Standards:
    - "Plans must be comprehensive & actionable"
    - "Risk assessment required for risky operations"
    - "Clear success criteria defined"
    - "User can make informed approval decision"
  
  Execution_Patterns:
    - "Immediate execution by default"
    - "--plan flag forces planning mode"
    - "User approval required after planning"
    - "Graceful handling of plan rejection"
```

## Integration with Command Files

```yaml
Command_Header_Pattern:
  Standard_Text: "Execute: immediate. --plan→show plan first"
  Enhanced_Documentation: "@include planning-mode.yml#Planning_Behavior"
  
Planning_Behavior:
  Default_Execution: "Commands execute immediately without planning"
  Plan_Flag_Behavior: "--plan flag shows detailed execution plan first"
  User_Control: "User decides when to use planning mode"
  Plan_Approval: "User must approve plan before execution"
  
Example_Usage:
  Basic_Planning: "/command --plan"
  Complex_Operation: "/deploy --env prod --plan"
  Risk_Assessment: "/cleanup --all --plan"
  
Planning_Benefits:
  Risk_Mitigation: "Preview operations before execution"
  Resource_Planning: "Understand impact & requirements"
  Decision_Making: "Make informed choices about operations"
  Learning_Tool: "Understand what commands will do"
```
