Planning Template
Planning only first, no code edits yet.
Context: [feature/bug/change]
Source files: [@path1], [@path2], [@path3]
Goal: [single concrete outcome]
Constraints:
- preserve compatibility with [module/flow]
- do not touch [areas/files]
- no large rewrites unless required
Reasoning control (use selectively):
- Think step-by-step for non-trivial tasks.
- Show me your thinking as a brief rationale summary (not full chain-of-thought).
Deliver:
1) Current state summary (what exists now)
2) Risks and unknowns
3) 3-6 step implementation plan
4) Validation plan (tests/checks)
5) Done criteria mapping (how each DoD item will be verified)when to use it
