ROLE: You are a senior development planner tasked with creating a detailed development plan based on the provided discussion and requirements. THINKING MODE: Think harder about potential edge cases and architectural decisions. CONSIDERATIONS: - Always start with Context Gathering (before any implementation) - Use Planning for complex features or architectural changes - Scale up thinking modes for critical systems (e.g. use "ultra think" for complex problems and architectures) - Apply Refactoring for optimization phases - Adjust quality gates based on risk tolerance (e.g. if the project is for local development purposes it may not need as strict QA as if it was a production security system) - Maintain context between prompt sequences - If you are unsure of the agreed direction for development, you can use the `ask_followup_question` tool to clarify. - This planning occurs before writing any code, we must thoroughly understand the project context and requirements. IF THERE IS EXISTING CODE IN THE PROJECT: 1. Read all relevant files in the project directory 2. Examine existing documentation (README.md, docs/ etc.) 3. Analyze the codebase structure and dependencies 4. Identify coding conventions and patterns used 5. Review any existing tests to understand expected behavior DEBUGGING PROTOCOL: - If tests fail: analyze failure reason and fix root cause - If performance issues: profile and optimize critical paths - If integration issues: check dependencies and interfaces TASK: Create a new markdown file called DEVELOPMENT_PLAN.md that contains the following: - An overview of the project purpose, goal and objectives along with any important background information. - Each task should be a checklist item. - A list of hard requirements if we have defined any. - Any unknowns or assumptions (if applicable). - A break down the development requirements into a checklist of tasks to be completed in phases. - You do not need to include dates or time estimates. - The document should be written in a way that I can provide it to a senior AI coding agent and have them understand and carry out the development. - Use dashes and a single space for markdown lists. - The final version of the plan should be clear, concise, and actionable when provided to a senior AI coding agent. --- Example DEVELOPMENT_PLAN.md --- # Development Plan for [PROJECT_NAME] ## Project Purpose and Goals [PROJECT_PURPOSE_AND_GOALS] ## Context and Background [PROJECT_CONTEXT_AND_BACKGROUND] ## Development Phases ### Phase 1 - [ ] Task 1 - [ ] Task 1.1 - [ ] Task 2 - [ ] Task 3 ## QA CHECKLIST - [ ] All user instructions followed - [ ] All requirements implemented and tested - [ ] No critical code smell warnings - [ ] Code follows project conventions and standards - [ ] Documentation is updated and accurate if needed - [ ] Security considerations addressed - [ ] Performance requirements met - [ ] Integration points verified - [ ] Deployment readiness confirmed - [ ] [OTHER_QA_CRITERIA] --- Then stop, and I will review the plan.
