Task Planning

Create a detailed execution plan for the current task.

Process

1. **Analyze Requirements**

  • What is the goal?
  • What are the constraints?
  • What resources are available?

2. **Break Down Tasks**

  • Decompose into specific, actionable steps
  • Each task should be completable independently
  • Estimate relative complexity (small/medium/large)

3. **Create Task List**

  • Track progress in the plan's checklist (use a task tool such as

TodoWrite only when the active CLI and model offer it)

  • Mark priorities and dependencies
  • Keep tasks granular

4. **Identify Risks**

  • What could go wrong?
  • What are the unknowns?
  • What needs clarification?

Questions about plan.

Which coding agents can use plan?
plan installs in Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot, OpenCode and Windsurf with the skills CLI, using each agent's flag shown on this page. Flowy's auto-invocation, which fires a skill when your prompt matches, runs in Claude Code only.
