📋 Think To Plan

ID: think-it-through/to-plan
HACP: 0.4
Kind: operation
Mode: artifact
Traits: read-only, artifact
Default Binding: Current executable direction
Accepts: hacp/content, hacp/result
Requires: hacp/executable-direction, hacp/user-accepted-or-provisional
Produces: think-it-through/execution-plan
Duration: until-confirmed

Effect: Recover constraints, success criteria, and applicable conventions, then produce an ordered, verifiable Execution Plan on the native planning surface when available.

Limits: Keep traces and deck vocabulary outside the plan unless they are the subject or requested. Ask once when no executable direction exists. Do not fabricate details, treat the plan as approval, execute, save without an approved destination, or overwrite without permission.

Flow

flowchart TD
    A["Accepted or provisional direction"] --> B{"Executable?"}
    B -->|No| C["Ask one focused question"]
    B -->|Yes| D["Recover constraints, criteria, and conventions"]
    D --> E["Use native plan surface or inline plan"]
    E --> F["Build ordered, verifiable plan"]
    F --> G["Wait for user validation"]
    G --> H{"Approved destination?"}
    H -->|No| I["Keep plan unsaved"]
    H -->|Yes| J["Save without executing"]

State whether the source direction is accepted or provisional.

Format

Add → 📋 **PLAN** after the final move in the combo trace, or begin with > 🎯 **<binding>** → 📋 **PLAN** when used alone. Add presentation cards with +.

Before any plan content, emit the one complete combo trace. Keep it in the conversational envelope, outside the plan, including when a native planning surface is available. Show status while awaiting direction, validation, destination, or overwrite permission. A plan never authorizes execution.
