Workflow Plan Command (/workflow:plan)
Overview
Creates actionable implementation plans with intelligent input source detection. Supports text, files, issues, and templates through automatic recognition.
Core Principles
File Structure: @~/.claude/workflows/workflow-architecture.md
Usage
/workflow:plan [--AM gemini|codex] <input>
Analysis Method Flag (--AM)
Optional flag to specify which CLI tool to use for context analysis:
- gemini (default): Uses Gemini CLI for pattern-based analysis and architectural understanding
- codex: Uses Codex CLI for autonomous development context gathering with intelligent file discovery
Examples:
/workflow:plan --AM codex "Build authentication system"
/workflow:plan --AM gemini requirements.md
Input Detection Logic
The command automatically detects input type:
File Input (Auto-detected)
/workflow:plan requirements.md
/workflow:plan config.json
Triggers: Extensions: .md, .txt, .json, .yaml, .yml Processing: Reads file contents and extracts requirements
Issue Input (Auto-detected)
/workflow:plan ISS-001
/workflow:plan ISSUE-123
Triggers: Patterns: ISS-, ISSUE-, -request- Processing: Loads issue data and acceptance criteria
Text Input (Default)
/workflow:plan "Build user authentication with JWT and OAuth2"
Triggers: Everything else Processing: Parse natural language requirements
Automatic Behaviors
Session Management
- Creates new session if none exists
- Uses active session if available
- Generates session ID: WFS-[topic-slug]
Complexity Detection with Saturation
- Simple: ≤8 saturated tasks → Direct IMPL_PLAN.md
- Medium: 9-15 saturated tasks → IMPL_PLAN.md + TODO_LIST.md
- Complex: >15 saturated tasks → Full decomposition
Note: 1 complex preparation task = 0.5 saturated task for counting
Task Granularity Principles
- 按功能分解,不按文件分解: 一个任务应该完成一个完整功能
- 保持功能完整性: 每个任务产出可独立运行或测试的功能单元
- 相关组件一起实现: UI、逻辑、测试等相关部分在同一任务中完成
- 避免技术步骤分解: 不要把"创建文件"、"添加函数"作为独立任务
任务分解反模式
❌ 错误示例 - 按文件/步骤分解:
- IMPL-001: 创建数据库模型
- IMPL-002: 创建API端点
- IMPL-003: 创建前端组件
- IMPL-004: 添加路由配置
- IMPL-005: 编写单元测试
✅ 正确示例 - 按功能分解:
- IMPL-001: 实现用户认证功能(包含模型、API、UI、测试)
- IMPL-002: 实现数据导出功能(包含处理逻辑、UI、文件生成)
Task Generation with Saturation Control
- Task Saturation Assessment: Evaluates whether to merge preparation and execution
- Default merge mode: "Analyze and implement X" instead of "Analyze X" + "Implement X"
- Smart splitting: Only separate when preparation complexity > threshold
- Automatically creates .task/ files when complexity warrants
- Generates hierarchical task structure (max 2 levels)
- Main tasks with subtasks become container tasks (not directly executable)
- Updates session state with task references
- Runs project structure analysis to populate paths field
Task Saturation Assessment
Evaluates whether to merge preparation and execution:
默认合并原则 (Saturated Tasks):
- 同一功能模块的所有组件
- 前后端配套实现
- 功能与其对应的测试
- 配置与其使用的代码
- 相互依赖的多个小功能
仅在以下情况分离任务:
- 完全独立的功能模块(无共享代码)
- 不同技术栈的独立服务(如前端/后端分离部署)
- 需要不同专业知识的模块(如ML模型训练 vs Web开发)
- 有明确先后顺序依赖的大型功能
Task Examples:
- 合并示例: "IMPL-001: 实现用户认证系统(包含JWT管理、API端点、UI组件和测试)"
- 分离示例: "IMPL-001: 设计跨服务认证架构" + "IMPL-002: 实现前端认证模块" + "IMPL-003: 实现后端认证服务"
Task Breakdown Process
- Automatic decomposition: Only when task count >15 are tasks broken into subtasks (impl-N.M format)
- Function-based decomposition: Split by independent functional boundaries, not by technical layers
- Container tasks: Parent tasks with subtasks become containers (marked with ▸ in TODO_LIST)
- Smart decomposition: AI analyzes task title to suggest logical functional subtask structure
- Complete unit principle: Each subtask must still represent a complete functional unit
- Context inheritance: Subtasks inherit parent's requirements and scope, refined for specific needs
- Agent assignment: Automatic agent mapping based on subtask type (planning/code/test/review)
- Maximum depth: 2 levels (impl-N.M) to maintain manageable hierarchy
Implementation Field Requirements
- analysis_source: Determines context gathering method (manual|auto-detected|gemini|codex)
- Auto-assignment: manual (user provides details) → auto-detected (system infers) → gemini/codex (needs analysis)
- Required fields: files (with path/location/modifications), context_notes, analysis_source
- Paths format: Semicolon-separated list (e.g., "src/auth;tests/auth;config/auth.json")
Session Check Process
⚠️ CRITICAL: Check for existing active session before planning
- Check Active Session: Check for
.workflow/.active-*marker file - Session Selection: Use existing active session or create new
- Context Integration: Load session state and existing context

# Implementation Plan - [Project Name]
*Generated from: [input_source]*
## Requirements
[Extracted requirements from input source]
## Task Breakdown
- **IMPL-001**: [Saturated task description with merged preparation and execution]
- **IMPL-002**: [Task description]

[Measurable completion conditions]
Optional TODO_LIST.md (Auto-triggered)
Created when complexity > simple or task count > 5
TODO_LIST Structure: Uses unified hierarchical list format
- Container tasks (with subtasks) marked with
▸symbol - Leaf tasks use standard
- [ ]/- [x]checkboxes - Indentation shows hierarchy (2 spaces per level)
- Container tasks represent logical grouping, not executable items
Task JSON Files (Auto-created)
Generated in .task/ directory when decomposition enabled
Error Handling
Input Processing Errors
- File not found: Clear error message with suggestions
- Invalid issue: Verify issue ID exists
- Unknown template: List available templates
- Empty input: Prompt for valid input
- Vague text input: Auto-reject without guidance
- Rejected examples: "do something", "fix it", "make it better", "add feature"
- Response: Direct rejection message, no further assistance
