# Work Plan Skill Work plans are timestamped markdown files that survive auto-compaction. They are your external brain for multi-step work. ## File Convention - **Location:** Project root, gitignored - **Name:** `WORKPLAN-YYYYMMDD-slug.md` (e.g., `WORKPLAN-20260228-auth-refactor.md`) - **One file per task/phase.** Start fresh for each distinct effort. Do not recycle a finished plan for unrelated work. - **But do not start a second plan for work an existing one already covers.** If a `WORKPLAN-*.md` for this effort is already in the project root, it is the live record, whoever wrote it and however stale it looks. Adopt it and keep writing in it. See Resume for how to treat what is already in it. ## Roadmap Markers Every roadmap item carries one of four markers. Two of them require a trailing note, because the person reading this file weeks from now has none of your context and cannot ask you. - `[ ]` **Open.** Not started, or started and not finished. No note needed. - `[x]` **Done.** Implemented and verified, with a matching entry in the Verification Log. Nothing else earns this marker. - `[!]` **Blocked.** Cannot be attempted right now for a reason outside the work itself: a missing credential, an unreachable host, a file the client never sent, a decision you do not own. Different from failed. A failed step can be retried this minute; a blocked step cannot be started at all. Write it as: `- [!] 4. Step description. BLOCKED since YYYY-MM-DD on <what is missing>. Owne
