Use when something non-trivial is to be built or reworked and its implementation plan has to be written, from an idea or from a board, or when a plan has to be redrawn after an increment landed. Produces, through an interview, the one plan document that holds the design, the decisions, the phases and seats, the tracker execute-plan runs from and the orchestrator's mandate. Not for keeping an open discussion (brainstorm), not for writing a phase's tasks (orchestrate-plan, at the phase's open)…

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

# Write a plan

**One document holds the design and the plan.** What the interview settles is written
once, there, and each task points into it, narrowed to its scope.

**The plan is written for an agent that was not in the conversation.** Read alone, it gives
every decision, its reason and every detail the work needs, so that agent is as aligned as
the person and you are now. Nothing settled lives only in the chat.

**No code in the repository for the thing being planned until the plan is approved.**

1. **Open `YYYY-MM-DD-<topic>.plan.md` before the first question**, through the `aiview` skill: kind `plan`, tags = topic, in the group aiview gives a plan, shared with its task documents when a task needs one. With a roadmap, the slot's slug is a tag. Its two parts, Design and Execution, are `references/skeleton.md`, read before writing the first section. A board on the topic is the starting point: its agreed decisions become rows, numbered in this plan with the board's id in their source (`board <topic>.board#D2`), and are not asked again.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ovich/swarmstorm/write-plan@sha256:fdf48a2928191fdb

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261029.f5165bd, 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.
