Overview
Workflow: Plan Next Chunk
<required_reading> Read the current phase's PLAN.md </required_reading>
<purpose> Identify the immediate next 1-3 tasks to work on. This is for when you want to focus on "what's next" without replanning the whole phase. </purpose> <process> <step name="find_current_position"> Read the phase plan: ```bash cat .planning/phases/XX-current/PLAN.md ```Identify:
- Which tasks are complete (marked or inferred)
- Which task is next
- Dependencies between tasks </step>
Present:
Current phase: [Phase Name]
Progress: [X] of [Y] tasks complete
Next chunk:
1. Task [N]: [Name] - [Brief description]
2. Task [N+1]: [Name] - [Brief description]
Ready to work on these?
</step>
<step name="offer_execution">
Options:
1. **Start working** - Begin with Task N
2. **Generate prompt** - Create meta-prompt for this chunk
3. **See full plan** - Review all remaining tasks
4. **Different chunk** - Pick different tasks
</step>
</process>
<chunk_sizing> Good chunks:
- 1-3 tasks
- Can complete in one session
- Deliver something testable
If user asks "what's next" - give them ONE task. If user asks "plan my session" - give them 2-3 tasks. </chunk_sizing>
<success_criteria> Chunk planning is complete when:
- Current position identified
- Next 1-3 tasks selected
- User knows what to work on </success_criteria>
