# Plan Before Execution ## Purpose Create a bounded plan before non-trivial work. ## When to Use Use for multi-file, high-risk, ambiguous, or delegated work. ## Inputs Goal, scope, constraints, source files, risks, verification options. ## Steps 1. Restate the goal. 2. Define in-scope and out-of-scope work. 3. Split execution into reviewable phases. 4. Attach verification to each risky phase. ## Gates The plan covers the user request, constraints, blockers, and checks. ## Evidence An actionable plan or checklist exists before implementation. ## Anti-Patterns Editing first and discovering scope later; treating a plan as approval. ## Related `scope-and-blockers`, `assumption-registry`
