/plan -- Create Planning Files

Create the three planning files for a new task.

Steps

1. Check if planning files already exist in the project root:

  • `task_plan.md`
  • `findings.md`
  • `progress.md`

2. If any exist, ask the user before overwriting. Show which files were found and confirm they want to start fresh.

3. Ask the user: "What is the goal of this task?" Use their response as the Goal in `task_plan.md`.

4. Create all three files using the templates from `{baseDir}/skills/planning-with-files/references/templates.md`. Fill in:

  • The Goal section with the user's response
  • The Session date in `progress.md` with today's date
  • Phase titles if the user described their task in enough detail

5. Display a summary:

   Planning files created:
   - task_plan.md  (phases and progress tracking)
   - findings.md   (research and decisions)
   - progress.md   (session log)
