 # Planning
 
-Turn research and requirements into executable, verifiable plans.
-
-> **Do NOT use `EnterPlanMode`.** All planning output goes to `.forge/phases/` as structured plan files. Follow the steps below directly.
+> **Do NOT use `EnterPlanMode`.** Output -> `.forge/phases/`.
 
 ## Step 1: Resolution Gate
 
-Read `.forge/context.md`. Check the **Needs Resolution** section.
-
-If unresolved items exist (unchecked `- [ ]` items):
-
-Present all items and ask the user to decide on each:
-*"Before we plan, {N} items need your input: [list]. For each: lock, defer, fix, or drop?"*
+Read `.forge/context.md` **Needs Resolution**. If unchecked `- [ ]` items:
+*"{N} items need input: [list]. For each: lock, defer, fix, or drop?"*
 
 | Choice | Action |
 |--------|--------|
 | Lock | Record in Locked Decisions |
-| Defer | Move to Deferred Ideas with revisit date |
-| Fix | Add as FR-xxx in `.forge/requirements.yml` — flows into the plan |
+| Defer | Move to Deferred Ideas + revisit date |
+| Fix | Add as FR-xxx in `.forge/requirements.yml` |
 | Drop | Note in Amendment Log |
 
-Check off each resolved item `- [x]` and move to the appropriate section.
-
-Target: 2-5 minutes. Quick human decisions so planning proceeds with accurate info.
+Mark resolved `- [x]`. Target: 2-5 min.
+Scan **Carried Forward** -- items affecting current phase get same triage.
 
-Also scan **Carried Forward** — items affecting the current phase get the same triage.
+## Step 2: Constitutional Gate
 
-## Step 2: Constitutional Gate Check
+Read `.forge/constitution.md`. Per article:
+- Check gate checkboxes
+- Fail -> **STOP.** Resolve first.
+- Needs amendment -> flag for user (discuss phase)
 
-Read `.forge/constitution.md`. For each relevant article:
-- Check the gate checkboxes
-- Gate fails → **STOP.** Resolve before planning.
-- Article needs amendment → flag for user decision (discuss phase)
+Record results in plan frontmatter.
 
-Document gate results in the plan frontmatter.
+## Step 3: Lock Decisions
 
-## Step 3: Lock User Decisions
+If missing, create `.forge/context.md` from template:
+1. Ask user key decisions (framework, constraints, preferences)
+2. **Locked Decisions** (contracts)
+3. **Deferred Ideas** (out of scope)
+4. **Discretion Areas** (agent picks)
 
-If not done, create `.forge/context.md` from template:
-
-1. Ask user about key decisions (framework choices, constraints, preferences)
-2. Record as **Locked Decisions** — these are contracts
-3. Record **Deferred Ideas** — explicitly out of scope
-4. Record **Discretion Areas** — agent picks best approach
-
-Do this BEFORE creating plans. Plans must reference context.md.
+Must complete BEFORE plans. Plans reference context.md.
 
 ## Step 4: Structure Requirements
 
-If `.forge/requirements.yml` doesn't exist, create from template:
-
-1. Extract functional requirements from user description + research
-2. Assign IDs: FR-001, FR-002, etc.
-3. Write acceptance criteria in Given/When/Then format
-4. Mark uncertain items: `[NEEDS CLARIFICATION]`
-5. Separate P1 (must-have) from P2 (should-have) and P3 (nice-to-have)
-6. List deferred items explicitly (DEF-001, etc.)
+If `.forge/requirements.yml` missing, create from template:
+1. Extract from user description + research
+2. IDs: FR-001, FR-002...
+3. Acceptance: Given/When/Then
+4. Uncertain: `[NEEDS CLARIFICATION]`
+5. P1 (must) / P2 (should) / P3 (nice)
+6. Deferred: DEF-001...
 
-**Planning blocks until all P1 `[NEEDS CLARIFICATION]` items are resolved.**
+**Blocks until all P1 `[NEEDS CLARIFICATION]` resolved.**
 
 ## Step 5: Create Roadmap
 
-If `.forge/roadmap.yml` doesn't exist (Full tier only):
+If `.forge/roadmap.yml` missing (Full only):
+1. Group by delivery boundaries
+2. Inter-group dependencies
+3. Phases (coherent, verifiable)
+4. Every FR -> one phase, no orphans
+5. Waves: independent=1, dependent=2+
 
-1. Group requirements by natural delivery boundaries
-2. Identify dependencies between groups
-3. Create phases (coherent, verifiable capabilities)
-4. Assign requirements to phases (every FR → exactly one phase, no orphans)
-5. Analyze waves (independent phases = Wave 1, dependencies = Wave 2+)
+## Step 6: Decompose Tasks
 
-## Step 6: Decompose into Tasks
+Per phase (or feature, Standard tier):
 
-For each phase (or single feature in Standard tier):

-   - `{M}` = milestone ID from `roadmap.yml`
-   - `{N}` = phase number within milestone (sequential)
-   - `{name}` = phase `name` from `roadmap.yml` in kebab-case
-   - `{NN}` = plan sequence within the phase (`01`, `02`, etc.)
-   - Example: `.forge/phases/m3-2-providers/plan-01.md`
-2. Fill in frontmatter (phase, plan number, wave, dependencies)
-3. Create goal-backward must_haves:
-   - **Truths:** Observable from user perspective when done (3-7)
-   - **Artifacts:** Files that must exist and be substantive, not stubs
-   - **Key Links:** Critical connections between artifacts
-4. Decompose into XML tasks (2-3 per plan, 15-60 min each):

-Scan tasks from Step 6. A task is a testable contract candidate if it involves:

-- Library/module interfaces — public functions with typed inputs and expected outputs
-- Data transformations — parsers, formatters, validators with known input→output mappings
-- Service integrations — external API calls with expected payloads and error handling
-- Business logic — calculations, rules engines, state machines with deterministic behavior

 ## Step 8: Verify Plans
 
-Before passing to executor, check 8 dimensions:
-
-1. **Requirement Coverage** — Every phase requirement has task(s)
-2. **Task Completeness** — All tasks have files + action + verify + done
-3. **Dependency Correctness** — Valid DAG, no circular deps
-4. **Key Links Planned** — Artifacts will be wired together, not orphaned
-5. **Scope Sanity** — 2-3 tasks per plan, targeting ~50% context
-6. **Verification Derivation** — must_haves trace to phase goal
-7. **Context Compliance** — Plans honor locked decisions, exclude deferred ideas
-8. **Spec Validity** (when Step 7 used) — Valid syntax, correct paths, derived from requirements not assumptions

-Issues found → fix and re-verify. Max 3 revision cycles.
