# Write Executable Plan > Bite-sized plans for parallel agents. No placeholders. No vague steps. ## When to use - A PRD from `/plan feature` exists but you need a step-by-step implementation plan - A `/brainstorm` design is approved and you want to skip the PRD layer - Multiple agents will execute the plan in parallel and need conflict-free task boundaries - The work is complex enough that describing it to an agent loses fidelity ## When NOT to use - Trivial 1-file changes (just do them; no plan needed) - Pure exploration (use `/brainstorm` instead) - Bug investigation (use `/debug` instead) - The source PRD is vague or unapproved (get PRD approval before planning execution) ## Phase 0: Bootstrap Gate Read `skills/_shared/bootstrap-gate.md` and execute the gate check. If the gate is CLOSED, invoke `skills/bootstrap/SKILL.md` and wait for completion before proceeding. If the gate is OPEN, continue to Phase 1. <HARD-GATE> Do NOT proceed past Phase 0 if GATE_CLOSED. There is no bypass. Refer to `skills/_shared/bootstrap-gate.md` for the full HARD-GATE constraints. </HARD-GATE> ## Phase 1: Source Selection Accept ONE of the following inputs (in order of preference): 1. **PRD path** — `docs/prd/YYYY-MM-DD-<feature>.md` produced by `/plan feature` 2. **Design spec path** — `docs/specs/YYYY-MM-DD-<slug>-design.md` produced by `/brainstorm` 3. **Inline description** — user provides a free-text description; prompt for elaboration via AUQ before proceeding If no source is p...
