Plan useful work

Read the project context and existing workflows first. State the requested outcome in one sentence. Identify what already exists and what needs changing. Ask only for information that materially changes the work; continue independent preparation when an answer is pending.

Write a short plan around deliverables, not a list of tool calls. For each stage, name its output and the observation that will show it works. Separate mandatory work from optional extensions. Preserve the user's scope, budget, provider choices and restart constraints.

Keep the plan in the project's existing Workspace card or project folder. If the user asked for execution, proceed with authorized work after planning. Update the plan when evidence changes the approach. Do not call incomplete work done.

For handing an implementation to another worker, use feature-handoff and include the exact skill paths that worker needs.
