What it does

Use when a request needs shaping before any code is written, a rough or vague prompt to sharpen, an ambiguous idea to design, or a clear-enough task to decompose. One chain-starter that amplifies the prompt, designs the approach, and decomposes it into a batched task file, skipping whichever phases the request doesn't need, then STOPS at a build-location gate (build here, hand off to another session, or just keep the plan). Plan never implements. Trigger with /hyperflow:plan, "design this", "plan this", "decompose this", "how should we", "what's the best way to", "break this down", "enhance this prompt".

Plan

One chain-starter that folds three phases, amplify (sharpen the prompt), design (brainstorm and spec the approach), decompose (write the batched task file), into a single flow, then stops at a build-location gate (Step 12). Each phase skips itself when the request doesn't need it: a clear task bounces straight to decomposition; an already-structured prompt skips amplify.

Plan never implements. It is thinking, not building, no source code is written here, and it does not silently chain into /hyperflow:dispatch. The only writes are to .hyperflow/specs/, .hyperflow/tasks/, .hyperflow/features/, .hyperflow/memory/, and (another-session mode) the committed .hyperflow-handoff/ package. When the task file is ready, plan always asks where to build it (this session / another session / stop), that gate fires on every run, and the user's choice is the only thing that ever starts a build. It drives Layer 0.5 (Triage), Layer 4 (Brainstorming/Spec), Layer 0 (Project Analysis), Layer 6 (Memory), and Layer 7 (Task Templates).

Plan runs at maximum thinking depth. Engage extended / ultra reasoning across triage, analysis, design, and decomposition, plan is the chain's one think-heavy front door and pays the reasoning cost once so the build runs faithfully. Every substantive step uses tools (Agents to do the work, Write to persist artefacts); a plan that exists only in chat is a violation.

Every agent runs on the current session model, there is no model-tier routing and no model configuration. Roles (Classifier, Searcher, Writer, Analyst, Planner, Reviewer) differ by responsibility, not by model.
