$ARGUMENTS

You MUST consider the user input before proceeding (if not empty).

Outline

1. Setup: Run .specify/scripts/bash/setup-plan.sh --json from repo root and parse JSON for FEATURE_SPEC, IMPL_PLAN, SPECS_DIR, BRANCH. For single quotes in args like "I'm Groot", use escape syntax: e.g 'I'''m Groot' (or double-quote if possible: "I'm Groot").

2. Load context: Read FEATURE_SPEC and .specify/memory/constitution.md. Load IMPL_PLAN template (already copied).

Core Concepts Compliance

CRITICAL: All planning decisions MUST comply with core concepts.

Mandatory Planning Patterns:

1. ORPC Contract-First (Core Concept 09 - NON-NEGOTIABLE):

   • In data-model.md: Define entity schemas that map to ORPC contracts
   • In contracts/: Create ORPC contract definitions first
   • In plan.md: Document 3-step implementation flow
   • File structure: Contracts before controllers in dependency order

2. Service-Adapter Pattern (Core Concept 02):

   • In plan.md: Document architecture layers (Controllers → Services → Repositories → Adapters)
   • In data-model.md: Separate entities (database) from contracts (API)
   • File structure: Entities → Repositories → Services → Adapters → Controllers

3. Better Auth Integration (Core Concept 07):

   • In plan.md: Document AuthService.api wrapper usage
   • In contracts/: Auth endpoints use centralized service
   • Configuration: Auth setup in apps/api/src/auth.ts

4. Repository Ownership (Core Concept 03):

   • In plan.md: Each feature has domain-specific repositories
   • File structure: Repositories scoped to feature domain
   • Example: UserRepository, CapsuleRepository (not generic)

5. Documentation Maintenance (Core Concept 10):

   • In quickstart.md: Include setup, usage, and integration steps
   • In plan.md: Document parent README update requirements
   • Architecture docs: Update when adding new patterns

Validation Checkpoints:

• Constitution Check section MUST validate pattern compliance
• Run /speckit.validate-core-concepts after planning for comprehensive audit

3. Execute plan workflow: Follow the structure in IMPL_PLAN template to:

   • Fill Technical Context (mark unknowns as "NEEDS CLARIFICATION")
   • Fill Constitution Check section from constitution
   • Evaluate gates (ERROR if violations unjustified)
   • Phase 0: Generate research.md (resolve all NEEDS CLARIFICATION)
   • Phase 1: Generate data-model.md, contracts/, quickstart.md
   • Phase 1: Update agent context by running the agent script
   • Re-evaluate Constitution Check post-design

4. Stop and report: Command ends after Phase 2 planning. Report branch, IMPL_PLAN path, and generated artifacts.

Phases

Phase 0: Outline & Research

1. Extract unknowns from Technical Context above:

   • For each NEEDS CLARIFICATION → research task
   • For each dependency → best practices task
   • For each integration → patterns task

2. Generate and dispatch research agents:

   For each unknown in Technical Context:
     Task: "Research {unknown} for {feature context}"
   For each technology choice:
     Task: "Find best practices for {tech} in {domain}"

3. Consolidate findings in research.md using format:

   • Decision: [what was chosen]
   • Rationale: [why chosen]
   • Alternatives considered: [what else evaluated]

Output: research.md with all NEEDS CLARIFICATION resolved

Phase 1: Design & Contracts

Prerequisites: research.md complete

1. Extract entities from feature spec → data-model.md:

   • Entity name, fields, relationships
   • Validation rules from requirements
   • State transitions if applicable

2. Generate API contracts from functional requirements:

   • For each user action → endpoint
   • Use standard REST/GraphQL patterns
   • Output OpenAPI/GraphQL schema to /contracts/

3. Agent context update:

   • Run .specify/scripts/bash/update-agent-context.sh copilot
   • These scripts detect which AI agent is in use
   • Update the appropriate agent-specific context file
   • Add only new technology from current plan
   • Preserve manual additions between markers

Output: data-model.md, /contracts/*, quickstart.md, agent-specific file

Key rules

• Use absolute paths
• ERROR on gate failures or unresolved clarifications
