Workflow Plan Command (/workflow:plan)

Coordinator Role

This command is a pure orchestrator: Execute 4 slash commands in sequence, parse their outputs, pass context between them, and ensure complete execution.

Execution Flow:

1. Initialize TodoWrite → Execute Phase 1 → Parse output → Update TodoWrite
2. Execute Phase 2 with Phase 1 data → Parse output → Update TodoWrite
3. Execute Phase 3 with Phase 2 data → Parse output → Update TodoWrite
4. Execute Phase 4 with Phase 3 validation → Update TodoWrite → Return summary

Execution Modes:

• Manual Mode (default): Use /workflow:tools:task-generate
• Agent Mode (--agent): Use /workflow:tools:task-generate-agent

Core Rules

1. Start Immediately: First action is TodoWrite initialization, second action is Phase 1 command execution
2. No Preliminary Analysis: Do not read files, analyze structure, or gather context before Phase 1
3. Parse Every Output: Extract required data from each command's output for next phase
4. Sequential Execution: Each phase depends on previous phase's output
5. Complete All Phases: Do not return to user until Phase 4 completes
6. Track Progress: Update TodoWrite after every phase completion

4-Phase Execution

Phase 1: Session Discovery

Command: SlashCommand(command="/workflow:session:start --auto \"[task-description]\"")

Parse Output:

• Extract: SESSION_ID: WFS-[id] (store as sessionId)

Validation:

• Session ID successfully extracted
• Session directory .workflow/[sessionId]/ exists

TodoWrite: Mark phase 1 completed, phase 2 in_progress

---

Phase 2: Context Gathering

Command: SlashCommand(command="/workflow:tools:context-gather --session [sessionId] \"[task-description]\"")

Input: sessionId from Phase 1

Parse Output:

• Extract: context-package.json path (store as contextPath)
• Typical pattern: .workflow/[sessionId]/.context/context-package.json

Validation:

• Context package path extracted
• File exists and is valid JSON

TodoWrite: Mark phase 2 completed, phase 3 in_progress

---

Phase 3: Intelligent Analysis

Command: SlashCommand(command="/workflow:tools:concept-enhanced --session [sessionId] --context [contextPath]")

Input: sessionId from Phase 1, contextPath from Phase 2

Parse Output:

• Verify ANALYSIS_RESULTS.md created

Validation:

• File .workflow/[sessionId]/ANALYSIS_RESULTS.md exists
• Contains task recommendations section

TodoWrite: Mark phase 3 completed, phase 4 in_progress

---

Phase 4: Task Generation

Command:

• Manual: SlashCommand(command="/workflow:tools:task-generate --session [sessionId]")
• Agent: SlashCommand(command="/workflow:tools:task-generate-agent --session [sessionId]")

Input: sessionId from Phase 1

Validation:

• .workflow/[sessionId]/IMPL_PLAN.md exists
• .workflow/[sessionId]/.task/IMPL-*.json exists (at least one)
• .workflow/[sessionId]/TODO_LIST.md exists

TodoWrite: Mark phase 4 completed

Return to User:

Planning complete for session: [sessionId]
Tasks generated: [count]
Plan: .workflow/[sessionId]/IMPL_PLAN.md

Next: /workflow:execute or /workflow:status

TodoWrite Pattern

// Initialize (before Phase 1)
TodoWrite({todos: [
  {"content": "Execute session discovery", "status": "in_progress", "activeForm": "Executing session discovery"},
  {"content": "Execute context gathering", "status": "pending", "activeForm": "Executing context gathering"},
  {"content": "Execute intelligent analysis", "status": "pending", "activeForm": "Executing intelligent analysis"},
  {"content": "Execute task generation", "status": "pending", "activeForm": "Executing task generation"}
]})

// After Phase 1
TodoWrite({todos: [
  {"content": "Execute session discovery", "status": "completed", "activeForm": "Executing session discovery"},
  {"content": "Execute context gathering", "status": "in_progress", "activeForm": "Executing context gathering"},
  {"content": "Execute intelligent analysis", "status": "pending", "activeForm": "Executing intelligent analysis"},
  {"content": "Execute task generation", "status": "pending", "activeForm": "Executing task generation"}
]})

// Continue pattern for Phase 2, 3, 4...

Data Flow

User Input (task description)
    ↓
Phase 1: session:start --auto "description"
    ↓ Output: sessionId
    ↓ Session Memory: Previous tasks, context, artifacts
    ↓
Phase 2: context-gather --session sessionId "description"
    ↓ Input: sessionId + session memory
    ↓ Output: contextPath (context-package.json)
    ↓
Phase 3: concept-enhanced --session sessionId --context contextPath
    ↓ Input: sessionId + contextPath + session memory
    ↓ Output: ANALYSIS_RESULTS.md
    ↓
Phase 4: task-generate[--agent] --session sessionId
    ↓ Input: sessionId + ANALYSIS_RESULTS.md + session memory
    ↓ Output: IMPL_PLAN.md, task JSONs, TODO_LIST.md
    ↓
Return summary to user

Session Memory Flow: Each phase receives session ID, which provides access to:

• Previous task summaries
• Existing context and analysis
• Brainstorming artifacts
• Session-specific configuration

Error Handling

• Parsing Failure: If output parsing fails, retry command once, then report error
• Validation Failure: If validation fails, report which file/data is missing
• Command Failure: Keep phase in_progress, report error to user, do not proceed

Coordinator Checklist

✅ Initialize TodoWrite before any command ✅ Execute Phase 1 immediately (no preliminary steps) ✅ Parse session ID from Phase 1 output ✅ Pass session ID to Phase 2 command ✅ Parse context path from Phase 2 output ✅ Pass session ID and context path to Phase 3 command ✅ Verify ANALYSIS_RESULTS.md after Phase 3 ✅ Select correct Phase 4 command based on --agent flag ✅ Pass session ID to Phase 4 command ✅ Verify all Phase 4 outputs ✅ Update TodoWrite after each phase ✅ Return summary only after Phase 4 completes
