# Create Plan
## Goal
Turn a user prompt into a **single, actionable plan** delivered in the final assistant message.
## Minimal workflow
Throughout the entire workflow, operate in read-only mode. Do not write or update files.
1. **Scan context quickly**
- Read `README.md` and any obvious docs (`docs/`, `CONTRIBUTING.md`, `ARCHITECTURE.md`).
- Skim relevant files (the ones most likely touched).
- Identify constraints (language, frameworks, CI/test commands, deployment shape).
2. **Ask follow-ups only if blocking**
- Ask **at most 1–2 questions**.
- Only ask if you cannot responsibly plan without the answer; prefer multiple-choice.
- If unsure but not blocked, make a reasonable assumption and proceed.
3. **Create a plan using the template below**
- Start with **1 short paragraph** descnameOpenAI Create Plan SkilldescriptionUse this skill when the user needs the workflow described above, especially when they want a structured result rather than a one-off answer.
