Use when the user asks to build, implement, plan, design, research, or figure out something that is not a trivial one-step edit: any task with an unresolved requirement, anything ambiguous enough to need a decision, or anything large enough to need multiple steps or to outlive one session. Also use whenever the user says "planloop". Once triggered, it runs a loop: ask a small batched round of questions, compile the answers into plan.md, get approval, deliver in verified slices, then surface…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# planloop

Ask. Plan. Delegate. Verify. Ask again. State lives on disk, not in conversation.

At invocation, check for a learnings file at `planloop.learnings.md` in the user config directory (`~/.claude/` for Claude Code, `~/.codex/` for Codex, `~/.gemini/` for Gemini CLI, and so on). If it exists, its lines tailor how you work and fill gaps. They do not override the core loop: a learning can change how you ask or verify, not whether you plan, get approval, and check. If it does not exist, do not create or mention it.

## Step 0: Size the task

Run the loop if the task leaves anything to guess at, if a requirement is unresolved, or if the work is large enough to need slices or to outlive this session. Skip it only when the task is fully specified and small. Skipping means going straight to work with one confirming sentence, no questions, no plan file. The user invoking planloop by name always runs the loop.

## Step 1: Ask

One batched round of questions up front. Questions that cannot be answered yet go into plan.md under Open Questions, and each is raised when the work reaches the slice that needs it, not now.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add nmahavishnu/planloop/planloop@sha256:fee96c62793487a0

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261020.429800a, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
