What its author says it does
Copied from the file, not written here
Use after the project brief is agreed, to produce a phased, multi-file implementation plan with a hard human sign-off gate, before any build work begins. Establishes the decision log and durable state files.

Plan Project
Announce at start: "I'm using claude-engineer:plan-project to produce the phased plan."
Iron Law
NO BUILD WORK BEFORE THE USER SIGNS OFF ON THE PLAN. Violating the letter is violating the spirit.
Procedure (create a task per step)
- Decompose with
superpowers:writing-plans- turn the agreed brief into bite-sized, testable tasks; map the file structure first; right-size tasks; bake in DRY/YAGNI/TDD. - Impose the customer-experience-first phase order. Default phases:
- Phase 0 - Conventions & scaffold (
project-conventions,monorepo-and-tooling,docker-dev-environment). - Phase 1 - Design system (
design-system: DESIGN.md is the source of truth). - Phase 2 - Frontend shells & components (
frontend-development, on-token, WCAG AA). - Phase 3 - Backend APIs & data (
backend-development). - Phase 4 - Integration & end-to-end flows.
- Phase 5 - Quality, CI/CD, finish (
testing-and-quality,ci-cd-pipeline).
- Phase 0 - Conventions & scaffold (
- Write the plan as multiple files under
docs/plan/-00-overview.mdplus one file per phase (01-design-system.md,02-frontend.md, …), each with goals, tasks, file targets, and the per-phase "definition of done" (the four quality gates). - Record a decision log at
docs/plan/decisions.md(every non-obvious choice + why). - Initialize durable state via
claude-engineer:project-memory(creates.claude-engineer/memory.md,progress.md,current-phase.txt). - HARD SIGN-OFF GATE. Present the plan and explicitly ask the user to approve. Do not proceed to
claude-engineer:execute-builduntil they do.
Quality bar baked into every phase's "done"
Tests + coverage · Playwright E2E with zero console errors · WCAG AA · strict types + lint clean.
(See claude-engineer:testing-and-quality.)
Red flags - STOP
- About to scaffold/build code while still "planning" → stop; finish the plan and get sign-off.
- A phase has no concrete "definition of done" → add the four gates.
- The plan lives in one giant file → split into
docs/plan/*so it survives and stays scannable.
