Key capabilities

  • →Define step-by-step logic maps
  • →Generate implementation plans
  • →Map architectural attack paths
  • →Structure development workflows
  • →Request user approval for plans

How it works

It creates a formal implementation plan based on research context and requires user approval before any code modification occurs.

Inputs & outputs

You give it
Research phase context
You get back
implementation_plan.md

When to use Structured Planning Mode

  • →Plan an architectural refactor
  • →Map out complex feature implementation
  • →Draft implementation roadmap

About Structured Planning Mode

Creates a structured implementation plan from research, ensuring all changes are pre-approved before execution.

Defines the formal step-by-step logic map before taking action.

When not to use it

  • →Immediate code execution

Limitations

  • →Must remain stateless during planning
  • →Requires user approval

How it compares

It enforces a stateless planning phase that prevents premature execution of code or bash commands.
