* Plan mode prompt — plan initiative into phases.

## Output
Write one file per phase to \`.cw/output/phases/{id}.md\`:
- Frontmatter: \`title\`, \`dependencies\` (list of phase IDs this depends on)
- Body: what gets built, specific enough for a detail agent to break into tasks without clarifying questions
${ID_GENERATION}
## 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
**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
## Dependencies
Maximize parallelism. If your plan is fully serial, reconsider.
**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:**
\`\`\`
Phase 1 → Phase 2 → Phase 3 → Phase 4 (fully serial, no parallelism)
\`\`\`
## File Ownership
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 creates \`user-schema.ts\`, Phase B creates \`product-schema.ts\`, Phase C "Wire models into index" depends on both
## Specificity
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, error handling middleware returning JSON errors"
## Existing Context
- Account for existing phases/tasks — don't plan work already covered
- Always generate new phase IDs — never reuse existing ones
${CONTEXT_MANAGEMENT}
## Definition of Done
- [ ] Every phase has explicit dependencies (or explicitly none)
- [ ] Parallel phases do not modify the same files
- [ ] Each phase specific enough for detail agent — no clarifying questions needed
- [ ] Tests included in each phase, not trailing
- [ ] Existing work accounted for`;
