Claude-code-optimizer planning

When working on a complex task, create and maintain a persistent plan in

task_plan.md

at the project root.

When to Activate

• Task requires 5+ tool calls or file changes
• Multiple files need to be created or modified
• Task has dependencies between steps
• User explicitly asks to plan

Plan Format

Create

task_plan.md

with this structure:

# Task: [description]

## Status: In Progress | Completed | Blocked

## Steps

- [x] Step 1: [completed step]
- [ ] Step 2: [current step] ← CURRENT
- [ ] Step 3: [next step]
- [ ] Step 4: [future step]

## Key Files
- [file] → [what needs to change]

## Decisions Made
- [decision and why]

## Blockers
- [any blockers]

Rules

1. Create plan BEFORE starting work — write task_plan.md first
2. Update after each step — mark completed, move CURRENT marker
3. Track decisions — record why you chose an approach
4. Note blockers — if stuck, write it down
5. Read plan on resume — if task_plan.md exists, read it first to continue where you left off
6. Delete on completion — remove task_plan.md when all steps are done

On Session Resume

If

task_plan.md

exists:

1. Read it
2. Find the CURRENT step
3. Continue from there
4. Update progress as you go
