Workflow Lite-Plan Command (/workflow:lite-plan)

Overview

Intelligent lightweight planning and execution command with dynamic workflow adaptation based on task complexity.

Core Functionality

Intelligent Task Analysis: Automatically determines if exploration/planning agents are needed
Dynamic Exploration: Calls cli-explore-agent only when task requires codebase understanding
Interactive Clarification: Asks follow-up questions after exploration to gather missing information
Adaptive Planning:
- Simple tasks: Direct planning by current Claude
- Complex tasks: Delegates to cli-planning-agent for detailed breakdown
Three-Dimensional Confirmation: Multi-select interaction for task approval + execution method selection + code review tool selection
Direct Execution: Immediate dispatch to selected execution method (agent/codex/auto)
Live Progress Tracking: Real-time TodoWrite updates at execution call level ([Agent-1], [Codex-1], etc.) during execution
Optional Code Review: Post-execution quality analysis with gemini/agent or custom tools via "Other" option (e.g., qwen, codex)

Usage

Command Syntax

/workflow:lite-plan [FLAGS] <TASK_DESCRIPTION>

# Flags
-e, --explore              Force code exploration phase (overrides auto-detection logic)

# Arguments

Execution Process

Workflow Overview

User Input ("/workflow:lite-plan \"task\"")
    |
    v
[Phase 1] Task Analysis & Exploration Decision (10-20 seconds)
    -> Analyze task description
    -> Decision: Need exploration? (Yes/No)
    -> If Yes: Launch cli-explore-agent
    -> Output: exploration findings (if performed)
    |
    v
[Phase 2] Clarification (Optional, user interaction)
    -> If exploration revealed ambiguities or missing info
    -> AskUserQuestion: Gather clarifications
    -> Update task context with user responses
    -> If no clarification needed: Skip to Phase 3
    |
    v
[Phase 3] Complexity Assessment & Planning (20-60 seconds)
    -> Assess task complexity (Low/Medium/High)
    -> Decision: Planning strategy
       - Low: Direct planning (current Claude)
       - Medium/High: Delegate to cli-planning-agent
    -> Output: Task breakdown with execution approach
    |
    v
[Phase 4] Task Confirmation & Execution Selection (User interaction)
    -> Display task breakdown and approach
    -> AskUserQuestion: Three dimensions
       1. Confirm task: Allow/Modify/Cancel (multi-select, can supplement via Other)
       2. Execution method: Agent/Codex/Auto (single-select, auto: simple→agent, complex→codex)
       3. Code review: Skip/Gemini/Agent/Other (single-select, can specify custom tool via Other)
    -> Process selections and proceed to Phase 5
    -> If cancel: Exit
    |
    v
[Phase 5] Execution & Progress Tracking
    -> Create TodoWrite execution call list (grouped tasks)
    -> Launch selected execution (agent or CLI)
    -> Track execution call progress with TodoWrite updates
    -> Real-time call status displayed to user (e.g., "[Agent-1] (Task A + Task B)")
    -> If code review enabled: Run selected CLI analysis
    |
    v
Execution Complete

Task Management Pattern

TodoWrite creates execution call list before execution starts (Phase 5)
Execution calls ([Agent-1], [Codex-1], etc.) marked as in_progress/completed during execution
Each execution call handles multiple related tasks
Real-time progress updates visible at call level (not individual task level)
No intermediate file artifacts generated

Detailed Phase Execution

Phase 1: Task Analysis & Exploration Decision

Operations:

Analyze task description to determine if code exploration is needed

Decision logic:

needsExploration = (
  flags.includes('--explore') || flags.includes('-e') ||  // Force exploration if flag present
  (
    task.mentions_specific_files ||
    task.requires_codebase_context ||
    task.needs_architecture_understanding ||
    task.modifies_existing_code
  )
)

Decision Criteria:

Task Type	Needs Exploration	Reason
Any task with `-e` or `--explore` flag	Yes (forced)	Flag overrides auto-detection logic
"Implement new feature X"	Maybe	Depends on integration with existing code
"Refactor module Y"	Yes	Needs understanding of current implementation
"Add tests for Z"	Yes	Needs to understand code structure
"Create new standalone utility"	No	Self-contained, no existing code context
"Update documentation"	No	Doesn't require code exploration
"Fix bug in function F"	Yes	Needs to understand implementation

If Exploration Needed:

Launch cli-explore-agent with task-specific focus

Agent call format:

Task(
  subagent_type="cli-explore-agent",
  description="Analyze codebase for task context",
  prompt=`
  Task: ${task_description}

  Analyze and return the following information in structured format:
  1. Project Structure: Overall architecture and module organization
  2. Relevant Files: List of files that will be affected by this task (with paths)
  3. Current Implementation Patterns: Existing code patterns, conventions, and styles
  4. Dependencies: External dependencies and internal module dependencies
  5. Integration Points: Where this task connects with existing code
  6. Architecture Constraints: Technical limitations or requirements
  7. Clarification Needs: Ambiguities or missing information requiring user input

  Time Limit: 60 seconds

  Output Format: Return a JSON-like structured object with the above fields populated.
  Include specific file paths, pattern examples, and clear questions for clarifications.
  `
)

Expected Return Structure:

explorationContext = {
  project_structure: "Description of overall architecture",
  relevant_files: ["src/auth/service.ts", "src/middleware/auth.ts", ...],
  patterns: "Description of existing patterns (e.g., 'Uses dependency injection pattern', 'React hooks convention')",
  dependencies: "List of dependencies and integration points",
  integration_points: "Where this connects with existing code",
  constraints: "Technical constraints (e.g., 'Must use existing auth library', 'No breaking changes')",
  clarification_needs: [
    {
      question: "Which authentication method to use?",
      context: "Found both JWT and Session patterns",
      options: ["JWT tokens", "Session-based", "Hybrid approach"]
    },
    // ... more clarification questions
  ]
}

Output Processing:

Store exploration findings in explorationContext
Extract clarification_needs array from exploration results
Set needsClarification = (clarification_needs.length > 0)
Use clarification_needs to generate Phase 2 questions

Progress Tracking:

Mark Phase 1 as completed
If needsClarification: Mark Phase 2 as in_progress
Else: Skip to Phase 3

Expected Duration: 10-20 seconds (analysis) + 30-60 seconds (exploration if needed)

Phase 2: Clarification (Optional)

Skip Condition: Only run if Phase 1 set needsClarification = true

Operations:

Review explorationContext.clarification_needs from Phase 1
Generate AskUserQuestion based on exploration findings
Focus on ambiguities that affect implementation approach

AskUserQuestion Call (simplified reference):

// Use clarification_needs from exploration to build questions
AskUserQuestion({
  questions: explorationContext.clarification_needs.map(need => ({
    question: `${need.context}\n\n${need.question}`,
    header: "Clarification",
    multiSelect: false,
    options: need.options.map(opt => ({
      label: opt,
      description: `Use ${opt} approach`
    }))
  }))
})

Output Processing:

Collect user responses and store in clarificationContext
Format: { question_id: selected_answer, ... }
This context will be passed to Phase 3 planning

Progress Tracking:

Mark Phase 2 as completed
Mark Phase 3 as in_progress

Expected Duration: User-dependent (typically 30-60 seconds)

Phase 3: Complexity Assessment & Planning

Operations:

Assess task complexity based on multiple factors
Select appropriate planning strategy
Generate task breakdown using selected method

Complexity Assessment Factors:

complexityScore = {
  file_count: exploration.files_to_modify.length,
  integration_points: exploration.dependencies.length,
  architecture_changes: exploration.requires_architecture_change,
  technology_stack: exploration.unfamiliar_technologies.length,
  task_scope: (task.estimated_steps > 5),
  cross_cutting_concerns: exploration.affects_multiple_modules
}

// Calculate complexity
if (complexityScore < 3) complexity = "Low"
else if (complexityScore < 6) complexity = "Medium"
else complexity = "High"

Complexity Levels:

Level	Characteristics	Planning Strategy
Low	1-2 files, simple changes, clear requirements	Direct planning (current Claude)
Medium	3-5 files, moderate integration, some ambiguity	Delegate to cli-planning-agent
High	6+ files, complex architecture, high uncertainty	Delegate to cli-planning-agent with detailed analysis

Planning Execution:

Option A: Direct Planning (Low Complexity)

Current Claude generates plan directly following these guidelines:

Summary: 2-3 sentence overview of the implementation
Approach: High-level implementation strategy
Task Breakdown: 3-5 specific, actionable tasks with file paths
Estimated Time: Total implementation time estimate
Recommended Execution: "Agent" (for Low complexity tasks)

Option B: Agent-Based Planning (Medium/High Complexity)

Delegate to cli-planning-agent with detailed requirements:

Task(
  subagent_type="cli-planning-agent",
  description="Generate detailed implementation plan",
  prompt=`
  Task: ${task_description}
  Exploration Context: ${JSON.stringify(explorationContext, null, 2)}
  User Clarifications: ${JSON.stringify(clarificationContext, null, 2) || "None provided"}
  Complexity Level: ${complexity}

  Generate a detailed implementation plan with the following components:

  1. Summary: 2-3 sentence overview of the implementation
  2. Approach: High-level implementation strategy
  3. Task Breakdown: 5-10 specific, actionable tasks
     - Each task should specify: What to do, Which files to modify/create, Dependencies on other tasks (if any)
  4. Task Dependencies & Parallelization:
     - Identify independent tasks that can run in parallel (no shared file conflicts or logical dependencies)
     - Group tasks by execution order: parallel groups can execute simultaneously, sequential groups must wait for previous completion
     - Format: "Group 1 (parallel): Task 1, Task 2 | Group 2 (parallel): Task 3, Task 4 | Task 5 (depends on all)"
  5. Risks: Potential issues and mitigation strategies (for Medium/High complexity)
  6. Estimated Time: Total implementation time estimate
  7. Recommended Execution: "Agent" or "Codex" based on task complexity

  Ensure tasks are specific, with file paths and clear acceptance criteria.
  `
)

Expected Return Structure (Both Options):

planObject = {
  summary: string,              // 2-3 sentence overview
  approach: string,             // High-level implementation strategy
  tasks: string[],              // 3-5 tasks (Low) or 5-10 tasks (Medium/High) with file paths
  dependencies: string[],       // Task execution order: parallel groups and sequential dependencies (Medium/High only)
  risks: string[],              // Potential issues and mitigation strategies (Medium/High only)
  estimated_time: string,       // Total implementation time estimate
  recommended_execution: string, // "Agent" (Low) or "Codex" (Medium/High)
  complexity: string            // "Low" | "Medium" | "High"
}

Progress Tracking:

Mark Phase 3 as completed
Mark Phase 4 as in_progress

Expected Duration:

Low complexity: 20-30 seconds (direct)
Medium/High complexity: 40-60 seconds (agent-based)

Phase 4: Task Confirmation & Execution Selection

User Interaction Flow: Three-dimensional multi-select confirmation

Operations:

Display plan summary with full task breakdown
Collect three inputs:
1. Task confirmation (multi-select: Allow/Modify/Cancel + optional supplements via "Other")
2. Execution method (single-select: Agent/Codex/Auto)
  - Agent: Execute with @code-developer
  - Codex: Execute with codex CLI tool
  - Auto: Simple tasks (Low complexity) → Agent, Complex tasks (Medium/High) → Codex
3. Code review tool (single-select: Skip/Gemini/Agent + custom tools via "Other")
  - Gemini Review: Use gemini CLI for code analysis
  - Agent Review: Use @code-reviewer agent
  - Other: Specify custom tool (e.g., "qwen", "codex") via text input
Support plan supplements and custom tool specification via "Other" input

Combined Three Questions in Single Call:

Question 1: Display full plan + task confirmation (multi-select: Allow/Modify/Cancel)
Question 2: Execution method selection (single-select: Agent/Codex/Auto)
Question 3: Code review tool selection (single-select: Skip/Gemini/Agent, custom via "Other")

Combined AskUserQuestion (Single Call):

AskUserQuestion({
  questions: [
    {
      question: `## Plan Summary

**Summary**: ${planObject.summary}

**Approach**: ${planObject.approach}

**Task Breakdown**:
${planObject.tasks.map((t, i) => `${i+1}. ${t}`).join('\n')}

${planObject.dependencies ? `\n**Dependencies**:\n${planObject.dependencies.join('\n')}` : ''}

${planObject.risks ? `\n**Risks**:\n${planObject.risks.join('\n')}` : ''}

**Complexity**: ${planObject.complexity}
**Estimated Time**: ${planObject.estimated_time}

---

Confirm this plan? (Multi-select enabled - you can select multiple options and add supplements via "Other")`,
      header: "Confirm Plan",
      multiSelect: true,
      options: [
        { label: "Allow", description: "Proceed with plan as-is" },
        { label: "Modify", description: "Adjust plan before execution" },
        { label: "Cancel", description: "Abort workflow" }
      ]
    },
    {
      question: `Select execution method:`,
      header: "Execution",
      multiSelect: false,
      options: [
        { label: "Agent", description: "Execute with @code-developer agent" },
        { label: "Codex", description: "Execute with codex CLI tool" },
        { label: "Auto", description: `Auto-select: ${planObject.complexity === 'Low' ? 'Agent (Low complexity)' : 'Codex (Medium/High complexity)'}` }
      ]
    },
    {
      question: `Enable code review after execution?

(You can specify other tools like "qwen" or "codex" via "Other" option)`,
      header: "Code Review",
      multiSelect: false,
      options: [
        { label: "Gemini Review", description: "Review with Gemini CLI tool (gemini-2.5-pro)" },
        { label: "Agent Review", description: "Review with @code-reviewer agent" },
        { label: "Skip", description: "No review needed" }
      ]
    }
  ]
})

Decision Flow:

Task Confirmation (Multi-select):
  ├─ Allow (+ optional supplements in Other) → Proceed to Execution Method Selection
  ├─ Modify (+ optional supplements in Other) → Re-run Phase 3 with modifications
  └─ Cancel → Exit (no execution)

Execution Method Selection (Single-select):
  ├─ Agent → Launch @code-developer agent
  ├─ Codex → Execute with codex CLI tool
  └─ Auto → Automatic selection:
      ├─ If complexity = Low → Launch @code-developer agent
      └─ If complexity = Medium/High → Execute with codex CLI tool

Code Review Selection (after execution):
  ├─ Skip → Skip review, workflow complete
  ├─ Gemini Review → Run gemini code analysis (gemini-2.5-pro)
  ├─ Agent Review → Current Claude agent review
  └─ Other → Specify custom tool (e.g., "qwen", "codex") via text input

Progress Tracking:

Mark Phase 4 as completed
Mark Phase 5 as in_progress

Expected Duration: User-dependent (1-3 minutes typical)

Phase 5: Execution & Progress Tracking

Operations:

Create TodoWrite execution call list (grouped tasks by dependencies)
Launch selected execution method (agent or CLI)
Track execution call progress with real-time TodoWrite updates (not individual tasks)
Display execution status to user

Step 5.1: Create TodoWrite Execution List

Before execution starts, create execution call list (not individual tasks):

// Group tasks based on dependencies and execution strategy
// Each execution call handles multiple related tasks
executionCalls = groupTasksByExecution(planObject.tasks, planObject.dependencies)

TodoWrite({
  todos: executionCalls.map((call, index) => ({
    content: `[${call.method}-${index+1}] (${call.taskSummary})`,
    status: "pending",
    activeForm: `Executing [${call.method}-${index+1}] (${call.taskSummary})`
  }))
})

Example Execution List:

[ ] [Agent-1] (Implement auth service + Create JWT utilities)
[ ] [Agent-2] (Add middleware + Update routes)
[ ] [Codex-1] (Add integration tests for auth flow)

Task Grouping Logic:

Parallel tasks → Single execution call
Sequential tasks → Separate execution calls
Complex tasks → May split into multiple calls based on file scope

Step 5.2: Launch Execution

IMPORTANT: CLI execution MUST run in foreground (no background execution)

Based on user selection in Phase 4, execute appropriate method:

Agent: Launch @code-developer agent
Codex: Execute with codex CLI tool
Auto: Automatic selection based on complexity
- Low complexity → Agent execution
- Medium/High complexity → Codex execution

Option A: Direct Execution with Agent

Operations:

Launch @code-developer agent with full plan context
Agent receives exploration findings, clarifications, and task breakdown

Agent call format:

Task(
  subagent_type="code-developer",
  description="Implement planned tasks with progress tracking",
  prompt=`
  Implement the following tasks with TodoWrite progress updates:

  Summary: ${planObject.summary}

  Task Breakdown:
  ${planObject.tasks.map((t, i) => `${i+1}. ${t}`).join('\n')}

  ${planObject.dependencies ? `\nTask Dependencies:\n${planObject.dependencies.join('\n')}` : ''}

  Implementation Approach:
  ${planObject.approach}

  Code Context:
  ${explorationContext || "No exploration performed"}

  ${clarificationContext ? `\nClarifications:\n${clarificationContext}` : ''}

  ${planObject.risks ? `\nRisks to Consider:\n${planObject.risks.join('\n')}` : ''}

  IMPORTANT Instructions:
  - **Parallel Execution**: Identify independent tasks from dependencies field and execute them in parallel using multiple tool calls in a single message
  - **Dependency Respect**: Sequential tasks must wait for dependent tasks to complete before starting
  - **Intelligent Grouping**: Analyze task dependencies to determine parallel groups - tasks with no file conflicts or logical dependencies can run simultaneously
  - Test functionality as you go
  - Handle risks proactively

  Note: This agent call handles multiple tasks. TodoWrite tracking is managed at call level by orchestrator.
  `
)

Agent Responsibilities:

Each agent call handles multiple tasks (grouped by dependencies)
Agent updates TodoWrite at call level (not individual task level)
Mark execution call as in_progress when starting, completed when all assigned tasks finished

Option B: CLI Execution (Codex)

Operations:

Build codex CLI command with comprehensive context
Execute codex tool with write permissions
Monitor CLI output and update TodoWrite based on progress indicators
Parse CLI completion signals to mark tasks as done

Command Format (Codex) - Single execution with full context:

codex --full-auto exec "
TASK: ${planObject.summary}

## Task Breakdown
${planObject.tasks.map((t, i) => `${i+1}. ${t}`).join('\n')}

${planObject.dependencies ? `\n## Task Dependencies\n${planObject.dependencies.join('\n')}` : ''}

## Implementation Approach
${planObject.approach}

## Code Context from Exploration
${explorationContext ? `
Project Structure: ${explorationContext.project_structure || 'Standard structure'}
Relevant Files: ${explorationContext.relevant_files?.join(', ') || 'TBD'}
Current Patterns: ${explorationContext.patterns || 'Follow existing conventions'}
Integration Points: ${explorationContext.dependencies || 'None specified'}
Constraints: ${explorationContext.constraints || 'None'}
` : 'No prior exploration - analyze codebase as needed'}

${clarificationContext ? `\n## User Clarifications\n${Object.entries(clarificationContext).map(([q, a]) => `${q}: ${a}`).join('\n')}` : ''}

${planObject.risks ? `\n## Risks to Handle\n${planObject.risks.join('\n')}` : ''}

## Execution Instructions
- Complete all tasks in single execution
- Test functionality as you implement
- Handle identified risks proactively

Complexity: ${planObject.complexity}
" --skip-git-repo-check -s danger-full-access

Note: Avoid resume --last unless task is exceptionally complex or hits timeout. Optimize task breakdown for full completion in single execution.

Execution with Progress Tracking:

// Launch CLI in foreground (NOT background)
bash_result = Bash(
  command=cli_command,
  timeout=600000  // 10 minutes
)

// Update TodoWrite when CLI execution call completes
// Mark execution call (e.g., "[Codex-1]") as completed when CLI finishes
// One CLI call may handle multiple tasks - track at call level, not task level

CLI Progress Monitoring:

Monitor CLI execution at call level (not individual task level)
Update TodoWrite when CLI execution call completes (all assigned tasks done)
Provide real-time visibility of execution call progress to user

Step 5.3: Track Execution Progress

Track agent/CLI call level (not individual tasks):

Real-time TodoWrite Updates:

// When execution call starts
TodoWrite({
  todos: [
    { content: "[Agent-1] (Implement auth service + Create JWT utilities)", status: "in_progress", activeForm: "Executing [Agent-1] (Implement auth service + Create JWT utilities)" },
    { content: "[Agent-2] (Add middleware + Update routes)", status: "pending", activeForm: "Executing [Agent-2] (Add middleware + Update routes)" },
    { content: "[Codex-1] (Add integration tests)", status: "pending", activeForm: "Executing [Codex-1] (Add integration tests)" }
  ]
})

// When execution call completes
TodoWrite({
  todos: [
    { content: "[Agent-1] (Implement auth service + Create JWT utilities)", status: "completed", activeForm: "Executing [Agent-1] (Implement auth service + Create JWT utilities)" },
    { content: "[Agent-2] (Add middleware + Update routes)", status: "in_progress", activeForm: "Executing [Agent-2] (Add middleware + Update routes)" },
    { content: "[Codex-1] (Add integration tests)", status: "pending", activeForm: "Executing [Codex-1] (Add integration tests)" }
  ]
})

User Visibility:

User sees execution call progress (not individual task progress)
Current execution highlighted as "in_progress" (e.g., "[Agent-1] (Task A + Task B)")
Completed executions marked with checkmark
Pending executions remain unchecked
Each execution shows task summary for context

Progress Tracking:

Track agent/CLI call completion (not task completion)
One execution call may handle multiple tasks simultaneously
Mark Phase 5 as completed when all execution calls done

Step 5.4: Code Review (Optional)

Skip Condition: Only run if user selected review tool in Phase 4 (not "Skip")

Operations:

If "Agent Review": Current agent performs direct code review analysis
If "Gemini Review": Execute gemini CLI with code review analysis prompt
If "Other" (custom tool specified): Execute specified CLI tool (e.g., qwen, codex)
Review all modified files from execution
Generate quality assessment and improvement recommendations

Command Format:

# Agent Review: Direct agent review (no CLI command needed)
# Uses analysis prompt and TodoWrite tools directly

# Gemini Review / Custom Tool (qwen, codex, etc.): Execute analysis command
{selected_tool} -p "
PURPOSE: Code review for implemented changes
TASK: • Analyze code quality • Identify potential issues • Suggest improvements
MODE: analysis
CONTEXT: @**/* | Memory: Review changes from lite-plan execution
EXPECTED: Quality assessment with actionable recommendations
RULES: $(cat ~/.claude/workflows/cli-templates/prompts/analysis/02-review-code-quality.txt) | Focus on recent changes | analysis=READ-ONLY
"

Expected Duration: Varies by task complexity and execution method

Low complexity: 5-15 minutes
Medium complexity: 15-45 minutes
High complexity: 45-120 minutes
Code review (if enabled): +2-5 minutes

Best Practices

Workflow Intelligence

Dynamic Adaptation: Workflow automatically adjusts based on task characteristics
- Smart exploration: Only runs when task requires codebase context
- Adaptive planning: Simple tasks get direct planning, complex tasks use specialized agent
- Context-aware clarification: Only asks questions when truly needed
- Reduces unnecessary steps while maintaining thoroughness
- Flag-Based Control:
  - Use -e or --explore to force exploration when:
    - Task appears simple but you know it requires codebase context
    - Auto-detection might miss subtle integration points
    - You want comprehensive code understanding before planning
Progressive Clarification: Gather information at the right time
- Phase 1: Explore codebase to understand current state
- Phase 2: Ask clarifying questions based on exploration findings
- Phase 3: Plan with complete context (task + exploration + clarifications)
- Avoids premature assumptions and reduces rework
Complexity-Aware Planning: Planning strategy matches task complexity
- Low complexity (1-2 files): Direct planning by current Claude (fast, 20-30s)
- Medium complexity (3-5 files): CLI planning agent (detailed, 40-50s)
- High complexity (6+ files): CLI planning agent with risk analysis (thorough, 50-60s)
- Balances speed and thoroughness appropriately
Three-Dimensional Confirmation: Comprehensive task approval and execution control
- First dimension: Confirm/Modify/Cancel plan (multi-select with supplement via "Other")
- Second dimension: Execution method selection (Agent/Codex/Auto)
- Third dimension: Code review tool selection (Skip/Gemini/Agent, custom via "Other")
- Allows plan refinement without re-selecting execution method
- Supports iterative planning with user feedback
- Auto mode intelligently selects execution method based on complexity
- Custom code review tools (qwen, codex, etc.) can be specified via "Other" option

Task Management

Live Progress Tracking: TodoWrite provides real-time execution call visibility
- Execution calls ([Agent-1], [Codex-1], etc.) created before execution starts
- Updated in real-time as execution calls progress
- User sees current execution call being worked on (e.g., "[Agent-1] (Task A + Task B)")
- Each execution call shows task summary for context
- Clear completion status at call level (not individual task level)
Phase-Based Organization: 5 distinct phases with clear transitions
- Phase 1: Task Analysis & Exploration (automatic)
- Phase 2: Clarification (conditional, interactive)
- Phase 3: Planning (automatic, adaptive)
- Phase 4: Confirmation (interactive, two-dimensional)
- Phase 5: Execution & Tracking (automatic with live updates)
Flexible Task Counts: Task breakdown adapts to complexity
- Low complexity: 3-5 tasks (focused)
- Medium complexity: 5-7 tasks (detailed)
- High complexity: 7-10 tasks (comprehensive)
- Avoids artificial constraints while maintaining focus
Dependency Tracking: Medium/High complexity tasks include dependencies
- Explicit task ordering when sequence matters
- Parallel execution hints when tasks are independent
- Risk flagging for complex interactions
- Helps agent/CLI execute correctly

Planning Standards

Context-Rich Planning: Plans include all relevant context
- Exploration findings (code structure, patterns, constraints)
- User clarifications (requirements, preferences, decisions)
- Complexity assessment (risks, dependencies, time estimates)
- Execution recommendations (Direct vs CLI, specific tool)
Modification Support: Plans can be iteratively refined
- User can request plan modifications in Phase 4
- Feedback incorporated into re-planning
- No need to restart from scratch
- Supports collaborative planning workflow
No File Artifacts: All planning stays in memory
- Faster workflow without I/O overhead
- Cleaner workspace
- Plan context passed directly to execution
- Reduces complexity and maintenance

Error Handling

Common Errors

Error	Cause	Resolution
Phase 1 Exploration Failure	cli-explore-agent unavailable or timeout	Skip exploration, set `explorationContext = null`, log warning, continue to Phase 2/3 with task description only
Phase 2 Clarification Timeout	User no response > 5 minutes	Use exploration findings as-is without clarification, proceed to Phase 3 with warning
Phase 3 Planning Agent Failure	cli-planning-agent unavailable or timeout	Fallback to direct planning by current Claude (simplified plan), continue to Phase 4
Phase 3 Planning Timeout	Planning takes > 90 seconds	Generate simplified direct plan, mark as "Quick Plan", continue to Phase 4 with reduced detail
Phase 4 Confirmation Timeout	User no response > 5 minutes	Save plan context to temporary var, display resume instructions, exit gracefully
Phase 4 Modification Loop	User requests modify > 3 times	Suggest breaking task into smaller pieces or using /workflow:plan for comprehensive planning
Phase 5 Codex Unavailable	Codex tool not installed	Show installation instructions, offer to re-select (Agent execution or Auto mode)
Phase 5 Execution Failure	Agent/Codex crashes or errors	Display error details, save partial progress from TodoWrite, suggest manual recovery or retry

Input/Output

Input Requirements

Task description: String or path to .md file (required)
- Should be specific and concrete
