plan	Project planning and architecture analysis using CLI tools	[--agent] [--tool codex|gemini|qwen] [--enhance] [--cd path] topic	SlashCommand(*), Bash(*), Task(*)

CLI Mode: Plan (/cli:mode:plan)

Purpose

Comprehensive planning and architecture analysis with strategic planning template (~/.claude/prompt-templates/plan.md).

Supported Tools: codex, gemini (default), qwen Key Feature: --cd flag for directory-scoped planning

Parameters

• --agent - Use cli-execution-agent for automated context discovery (5-phase intelligent mode)
• --tool <codex|gemini|qwen> - Tool selection (default: gemini, ignored in agent mode)
• --enhance - Enhance topic with /enhance-prompt first
• --cd "path" - Target directory for focused planning
• <topic> (Required) - Planning topic or architectural question

Execution Flow

Standard Mode (Default)

1. Parse tool selection: Extract --tool flag (default: gemini)
2. If --enhance flag present: Execute /enhance-prompt "[topic]" first
3. Parse topic (original or enhanced)
4. Detect target directory (from --cd or auto-infer)
5. Build command for selected tool with planning template
6. Execute analysis (read-only, no code modification)
7. Save to .workflow/WFS-[id]/.chat/plan-[timestamp].md

Agent Mode (--agent flag)

Delegate planning to cli-execution-agent for intelligent strategic planning with automated architecture discovery.

Agent invocation:

Task(
  subagent_type="cli-execution-agent",
  description="Create strategic plan with automated architecture discovery",
  prompt=`
    Task: ${planning_topic}
    Mode: plan (strategic planning)
    Tool Preference: ${tool_flag || 'auto-select'}
    ${cd_flag ? `Directory Scope: ${cd_path}` : ''}
    Template: plan

    Agent will autonomously:
    - Discover project structure and existing architecture
    - Build planning prompt with plan template
    - Execute strategic planning analysis
    - Generate implementation roadmap and save
  `
)

The agent handles all phases internally.

Core Rules

1. Analysis Only: This command provides planning recommendations and insights - it does NOT modify code
2. Enhance First (if flagged): Execute /enhance-prompt before planning
3. Directory Context: Use cd when --cd provided or auto-detected
4. Template Required: Always use planning template
5. Session Output: Save analysis results to session chat

Planning Capabilities (via Template)

• Strategic architecture insights and recommendations
• Implementation roadmaps and suggestions
• Key technical decisions analysis
• Risk assessment
• Resource planning

Command Template

cd [directory] && gemini -p "
PURPOSE: [planning goal from topic]
TASK: Comprehensive planning and architecture analysis
MODE: analysis
CONTEXT: @CLAUDE.md @**/*CLAUDE.md [entire codebase in directory]
EXPECTED: Strategic insights, implementation recommendations, key decisions
RULES: $(cat ~/.claude/prompt-templates/plan.md) | Focus on [topic area]
"

Examples

Basic Planning Analysis (Standard Mode):

/cli:mode:plan "design user dashboard architecture"
# Executes: Gemini with planning template
# Returns: Architecture recommendations, component design, roadmap

Intelligent Planning (Agent Mode):

/cli:mode:plan --agent "design microservices architecture for payment system"
# Phase 1: Classifies as architectural planning, keywords ['microservices', 'payment', 'architecture']
# Phase 2: MCP discovers existing services, payment flows, integration patterns
# Phase 3: Builds planning prompt with plan template + current architecture context
# Phase 4: Executes Gemini with comprehensive project understanding
# Phase 5: Saves planning document with implementation roadmap and migration strategy
# Returns: Strategic architecture plan + implementation roadmap + risk assessment

Standard Template Example:

cd . && gemini -p "
PURPOSE: Design user dashboard architecture
TASK: Plan dashboard component structure and data flow
MODE: analysis
CONTEXT: @CLAUDE.md @**/*CLAUDE.md
EXPECTED: Architecture recommendations, component design, data flow diagram
RULES: $(cat ~/.claude/prompt-templates/plan.md) | Focus on scalability
"

Directory-Specific Planning:

cd src/api && gemini -p "
PURPOSE: Plan API refactoring strategy
TASK: Analyze current API structure and recommend improvements
MODE: analysis
CONTEXT: @CLAUDE.md @**/*CLAUDE.md
EXPECTED: Refactoring roadmap, breaking change analysis, migration plan
RULES: $(cat ~/.claude/prompt-templates/plan.md) | Maintain backward compatibility
"

Planning Workflow

# 1. Discover project structure
~/.claude/scripts/get_modules_by_depth.sh
mcp__code-index__find_files(pattern="*.ts")

# 2. Gather existing architecture info
rg "architecture|design" --files-with-matches

# 3. Execute planning analysis (analysis only, no code changes)
/cli:mode:plan "topic for strategic planning"

Output Routing

Output Destination Logic:

• Active session exists AND planning is session-relevant:
  • Save to .workflow/WFS-[id]/.chat/plan-[timestamp].md
• No active session OR exploratory planning:
  • Save to .workflow/.scratchpad/plan-[description]-[timestamp].md

Examples:

• During active session WFS-dashboard, planning dashboard architecture → .chat/plan-20250105-143022.md
• No session, exploring new feature idea → .scratchpad/plan-feature-idea-20250105-143045.md
