/plan
Break a complex task into an ordered, dependency-aware task list with estimates and verification steps. Use when a request spans multiple components or days, before starting large features, or when the user runs /plan.

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**
- Use TodoWrite tool to track progress
- Mark priorities and dependencies
- Keep tasks granular
4. **Identify Risks**
- What could go wrong?
- What are the unknowns?
- What needs clarification?

Task Template
## Task: [Task Name] ### Goal [What this task achieves] ### Steps 1. [ ] [Step 1] 2. [ ] [Step 2] 3. [ ] [Step 3] ### Dependencies - Requires: [other tasks] - Blocks: [dependent tasks] ### Acceptance Criteria - [ ] [Criterion 1] - [ ] [Criterion 2]

Guidelines
- Keep tasks small (completable in one session)
- Be specific about acceptance criteria
- Identify dependencies early
- Update plan as you learn more
