# Thorough Plan An adaptive exploration loop that prevents premature planning. Builds context through codebase exploration, targeted research, and user questions — then hands off to the normal planning flow. This is not a planning framework. It's a **context amplifier**. <context> Agents fail at planning in predictable ways: - They plan from incomplete briefs and make wrong assumptions - They ask questions they could answer by reading the code - Or they interrogate exhaustively when the task is straightforward This skill injects judgment: explore what you can, ask what you must, stop when you know enough. </context> <workflow> ## Triage Read the brief. Evaluate along these dimensions: - **Ambiguity** — multiple valid interpretations? unclear boundaries? - **Scope** — how many files/systems? cross-cutting concerns? - **Risk** — breaking changes? security? data migration? - **Novelty** — unfamiliar library? new pattern for this codebase? **Low on all → skip exploration.** State your understanding of the task and proceed directly to planning. Don't explore for the sake of exploring. **High on any → enter the exploration loop.** Focus exploration on the dimensions that are actually uncertain. <example title="Triage assessment"> Brief: "Add a /sweep command that cleans up stale git branches" - Ambiguity: low — intent is clear - Scope: medium — needs new command + script, touches plugin structure - Risk: low — read-only git operations, no data loss - Novelty: low — simi
