Plan

Auto-generate a full plan from research + phase context. Decompose the phase goal into 2-5 tasks with:

• Clear title and objective
• Acceptance criteria (how to verify the task is done)
• Estimated complexity: S (< 15min), M (15-30min), L (30-60min)
• File touch list (which files will be created or modified)
• Dependencies (which tasks must complete before this one)
• Requirement IDs covered (from the phase's requirement list)

Step 5: Create plan beads

Call create_plan_beads with the generated plan as a JSON array of task objects. The tool handles topological dependency ordering automatically.

Step 6: Flush writes

Call flush_writes to commit all beads to Dolt.

Plan display

After creating plan beads, display the plan in GSD-familiar format:

## Phase {N}: {Title}

### Wave 1 (parallel)
- Task {id}: {title} [{complexity}]
  Files: {file_list}
  Reqs: {req_ids}

### Wave 2 (after Wave 1)
- Task {id}: {title} [{complexity}] (depends on: {dep_ids})
  Files: {file_list}
  Reqs: {req_ids}

Use list_ready to determine Wave 1 tasks. Tasks not in ready are in later waves.

Plan validation (inline, up to 3 iterations)

After creating plan beads, validate the plan:

1. For each requirement ID in the phase, call query_by_label with that ID. If the result is empty, that requirement is uncovered — a coverage gap.
2. Call list_ready to verify Wave 1 tasks have no unresolved dependencies.
3. If gaps found: identify missing tasks, call create_plan_beads again with additional tasks to fill gaps.
4. Repeat validation up to 3 times total. Track your iteration count explicitly: "Validation iteration 1 of 3", "Validation iteration 2 of 3", etc.
5. If still failing after 3 attempts, report the remaining gaps to the developer and ask: force proceed, provide guidance, or abandon. Per D-11.

Post-plan

After plan is validated and approved, display:

"Plan approved for Phase {N}: {task_count} tasks in {wave_count} waves."

"Ready to execute? (auto-continuing in 30 seconds...)"

Wait for developer's response. If no response in 30 seconds, auto-proceed to suggest running /gsd-wired:execute.
