plan-worklisted

Turn an ambiguous goal into explicit, testable work before any worker is dispatched: restate the outcome, derive acceptance criteria a reviewer could check, choose serial vs parallel, size the smallest useful team, and pick each worker's role. Use whenever a request is non-trivial, should be delegated, spans more than a trivial local edit, arrives vague ('make the app faster', 'add auth'), or reaches a point where it must become tasks — and use it to ask the developer up front instead of spending agents on the wrong work.

# Plan work Planning turns a request into work someone else can check. It is far cheaper to spend a minute here than to rework a worker's wrong guess, so the aim is the smallest plan that makes the goal, the criteria, and the team unambiguous. Planning produces the plan; `task-ledger` records it and `delegate-task` dispatches it. Planning never dispatches a worker itself. ## When to use - The request should be delegated, or spans more than a trivial local edit. - The goal is vague, consequential, or has more than one plausible reading. - Work touches more than one project, or needs independent review. ## When not to use - A one-line, low-risk, local change: do it directly. - The work is already planned and the criteria are agreed: skip to `task-ledger`, then `delegate-task`. ## Inputs - The request, in the developer's words. - The resolved project(s) and roots, from `multi-project-context`, prepared with `bootstrap-project` (an `AGENTS.md` and the skills the work needs). - `team-mate.toml` for `max_concurrent`, `max_iterations`, and `review_policy`. ## Procedure 1. **Restate the goal as an outcome.** One or two sentences describing what is true when the work is done, not the activity taken. If you cannot state it without hedging, the goal is ambiguous — that is the signal to ask, not to guess. 2. **Ask before you spend agents.** Separate what blocks delegation from what a worker can settle in scope. - Blocking: the outcome, scope, or definition of
