refactor: Compress plan prompt for conciseness
Cut ~35% of words while preserving all high-value content: - Merged Testing Strategy into Phase Design (rule + example) - Eliminated Rules section (redundant with Phase Design, Dependencies) - Compressed Dependency Graph intro (examples speak for themselves) - Trimmed File Ownership and Specificity prose - Reduced Existing Context from 4 to 2 bullets - Tightened Definition of Done checklist

## Output
|

|

Write one file per phase to \`.cw/output/phases/{id}.md\`:
|
||||
- Frontmatter: \`title\`, \`dependencies\` (list of other phase IDs this depends on)
|
||||
- Body: Description of the phase and what gets built

||||
- Frontmatter: \`title\`, \`dependencies\` (list of phase IDs this depends on)

||||

## Phase Design Rules
|
||||
- Each phase: single concern, independently deliverable, testable
|
||||
- Minimize cross-phase dependencies; foundation phases first
|
||||
- Size: 2-5 tasks each (not too big, not too small) - if the work is independent enough and the tasks are very similar you can also create more tasks for the phase
|
||||
- Clear, action-oriented names (describe what gets built, not how)
|
||||
## Phase Design
|
||||
- Single concern, independently deliverable, testable
|
||||
- Foundation phases first; minimize cross-phase dependencies
|
||||
- 2-5 tasks each. Action-oriented names (what gets built, not how)
|
||||
- Tests are part of every phase, not a separate phase
|
||||
|
||||
## Testing Strategy
|
||||
**Bad**: Phase 1: Database → Phase 2: API → Phase 3: Frontend → Phase 4: Tests
|
||||
**Good**: Phase 1: Database + schema tests → Phase 2: API + endpoint tests → Phase 3: Frontend + component tests
|
||||
|
||||
Tests are not a separate phase — they're part of every phase.
|
||||
## Dependencies
|
||||
|
||||
- Do NOT create standalone "write tests" or "integration testing" phases at the end. Tests must be written alongside implementation within each phase.
|
||||
- Foundation phases should include test infrastructure setup if the project needs it (test config, fixtures, utilities).
|
||||
- Each phase description should mention what aspects will be tested as part of that phase's work.
|
||||
Maximize parallelism. If your plan is fully serial, reconsider.
|
||||
|
||||
**Bad plan**: Phase 1: Database → Phase 2: API → Phase 3: Frontend → Phase 4: Tests
|
||||
**Good plan**: Phase 1: Database + schema tests → Phase 2: API + endpoint tests → Phase 3: Frontend + component tests
|
||||
|
||||
## Dependency Graph
|
||||
|
||||
Every plan MUST include an explicit dependency graph in the frontmatter in the output. For each phase, list:
|
||||
- What it depends on (by phase ID)
|
||||
|
||||
Think in waves: Wave 1 = no dependencies (foundation). Wave 2 = depends only on Wave 1. And so on.
|
||||
|
||||
**Good example:**
|
||||
**Good:**
|
||||
\`\`\`
|
||||
Wave 1 (parallel): "Database schema", "API skeleton"
|
||||
Wave 2 (parallel): "User endpoints" (depends: API skeleton, DB schema), "Auth middleware" (depends: API skeleton)
|
||||
Wave 3: "Integration tests" (depends: User endpoints, Auth middleware)
|
||||
\`\`\`
|
||||
|
||||
**Bad example:**
|
||||
**Bad:**
|
||||
\`\`\`
|
||||
Phase 1 → Phase 2 → Phase 3 → Phase 4 (fully serial, no parallelism)
|
||||
\`\`\`
|
||||
|
||||
If your plan is fully serial, reconsider. Most real work has independent tracks.
|
||||
## File Ownership
|
||||
|
||||
## File Ownership for Parallelism
|
||||
|
||||
Phases that run in parallel MUST NOT modify the same files. If two phases need to change the same file, they must be sequential (one depends on the other).
|
||||
Parallel phases MUST NOT modify the same files.
|
||||
|
||||
**Bad**: Phase A "Add user model" and Phase B "Add product model" both modify \`schema.ts\` and \`index.ts\`
|
||||
**Good**: Phase A "Add user model" creates \`user-schema.ts\`, Phase B "Add product model" creates \`product-schema.ts\`, Phase C "Wire models into index" depends on both
|
||||
**Good**: Phase A creates \`user-schema.ts\`, Phase B creates \`product-schema.ts\`, Phase C "Wire models into index" depends on both
|
||||
|
||||
## Specificity Test
|
||||
## Specificity
|
||||
|
||||
Before finalizing each phase description, ask: **"Could a detail agent break this into tasks without clarifying questions?"**
|
||||
Each phase must pass: **"Could a detail agent break this into tasks without clarifying questions?"**
|
||||
|
||||
**Bad**: "Set up the backend" — what backend? What framework? What endpoints?
|
||||
**Good**: "Create Express API server with health check endpoint at /api/health, CORS configured for localhost:3000, and error handling middleware that returns JSON error responses"
|
||||
|
||||
Reference specific files and directories from the codebase when possible.
|
||||
**Good**: "Create Express API server with health check endpoint at /api/health, CORS configured for localhost:3000, error handling middleware returning JSON errors"
|
||||
|
||||
## Existing Context
|
||||
- Read context files to see what phases and tasks already exist
|
||||
- If phases/tasks already exist, account for them — don't plan work that's already covered
|
||||
- Produce a complete phase plan — do NOT reuse existing phase IDs, always generate new ones
|
||||
- Pages contain requirements and specifications — reference them for phase descriptions
|
||||
|
||||
## Rules
|
||||
- Start with foundation/infrastructure phases
|
||||
- Group related work together
|
||||
- Make dependencies explicit using phase IDs
|
||||
- Each task should be completable in one session
|
||||
- Account for existing phases/tasks — don't plan work already covered
|
||||
- Always generate new phase IDs — never reuse existing ones

## Definition of Done
|
||||
|
||||
Before writing signal.json with status "done", verify:
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] Every phase has explicit dependencies (or explicitly has none)
|
||||
- [ ] No fully-serial chain without justification — most real work has parallelizable tracks
|
||||
- [ ] Every phase has explicit dependencies (or explicitly none)
|
||||
- [ ] Parallel phases do not modify the same files
|
||||
- [ ] Each phase description is specific enough for a detail agent to break into tasks without clarifying questions
|
||||
- [ ] Testing is part of each implementation phase, not a separate trailing phase
|
||||
- [ ] Existing context was accounted for — no planned work that's already covered`;
|
||||
- [ ] Each phase specific enough for detail agent — no clarifying questions needed
|
||||
- [ ] Tests included in each phase, not trailing
|
||||
- [ ] Existing work accounted for`;

||||
