# Plan Artifacts — Structured Knowledge Trail
Plans, brainstorms, and solutions live as dated artifacts under `docs/`. New
plans default to **directory format** (v1) with machine-checkable
ground truth in `features.json`. Older single-file plans (v0) remain readable.
## Directory layout
```
docs/
├── plans/ # Implementation plans (executable contracts)
│ ├── <YYYY-MM-DD-NNN-type-name>/ # v1 directory format (preferred)
│ │ ├── plan.md # frontmatter validated by plan.schema.json
│ │ ├── features.json # validated by features.schema.json
│ │ ├── decisions.jsonl # append-only decision log
│ │ ├── audit/*.json # per-agent audit reports
│ │ └── evidence/ # small artifacts; large → cloud storage
│ └── <YYYY-MM-DD-NNN-type-name>-plan.md # v0 single-file (legacy, still readable)
│
├── brainstorms/ # Design explorations and requirements (from brainstorm-gate)
└── solutions/ # Learnings post-implementation (root-cause + fix)
```
If `docs/` doesn't exist at the repo root, create it.
## When to use which format
| Plan tier | Format | Why |
|---|---|---|
| `trivial` | v0 single-file OK | Low ceremony; just a checklist |
| `local` | v0 OR v1 | Operator preference |
| `cross-cutting` and above | v1 directory **required** | Multi-agent panel + signoff need machine-checkable contract |
| Any plan that will be audited by another agent | v1 required | Auditors
