- When you have specs/requirements for multi-step work

- Before any implementation begins

## Task Structure

Each task follows: Write failing test -> Verify fail -> Implement minimal code -> Verify pass -> Commit

## Plan Format

- Header: Goal, Architecture, Tech Stack

- Tasks with exact file paths and complete code

- TDD steps with expected output

- Task persistence via `.tasks.json`

## Execution Handoff

After plan is written, choose:

1. **Subagent-Driven** - Fresh agent per task with two-stage review

2. **Batch Execution** - Execute in batches with human checkpoints

## Agents Used

- Process agents defined in `writing-plans.js`
