Structured planning mode for autonomous task execution. Creates plans as MemoryDocs, executes via Missions, tracks progress with live checklist.Key capabilities
- →Create plans as MemoryDocs
- →Execute plans via Missions
- →Track progress with a live checklist
- →Revise plans based on user feedback
- →List all existing plans
How it works
The skill gathers context, analyzes tools and steps needed, writes a plan to memory, and then emits a checklist for execution.
Inputs & outputs
When to use plan-mode
- →Planning multi-step tasks
- →Managing autonomous missions
- →Tracking project progress
About plan-mode
Structures complex goals into actionable plans saved as memory documents. It manages execution checklists and coordinates autonomous steps.
Structured planning mode for autonomous task execution. Creates plans as MemoryDocs, executes via Missions, tracks progress with live checklist.
When not to use it
- →When a task does not require structured planning or autonomous execution
- →When the task is a simple, single-step action
Limitations
- →Plans must be under 20 steps.
- →Each step must specify required tools.
- →Steps should be independently verifiable.
How it compares
This skill formalizes task execution into a structured plan with explicit steps, risks, and time estimates, unlike ad-hoc task handling.

Project and feature planning with 4 phases - Specify, Design, Tasks, Implement+Validate. Creates atomic tasks with verification criteria and maintains persistent memory across sessions. Stack-agnostic. Use when: (1) Starting new projects (initialize vision, goals, roadmap), (2) Working with existing codebases (map stack, architecture, conventions), (3) Planning features (requirements, design, task breakdown), (4) Implementing with verification, (5) Tracking decisions/blockers across sessions, (6) Pausing/resuming work. Triggers on "initialize project", "map codebase", "specify feature", "design", "tasks", "implement", "pause work", "resume work".
