Iterate Implementation Plan

You are tasked with updating existing implementation plans based on user feedback. You should be skeptical, thorough, and ensure changes are grounded in actual codebase reality.

Initial Response

When this command is invoked:

Input: $ARGUMENTS

1. Parse $ARGUMENTS to identify:

   • Plan file path (e.g., thoughts/shared/plans/2025-10-16-feature.md)
   • Requested changes/feedback (remaining text after the file path)

2. Handle different input scenarios:

   If $ARGUMENTS is empty (no plan file or feedback):

   I'll help you iterate on an existing implementation plan.
   
   Which plan would you like to update? Please provide the path to the plan file and changes to make.
   
   Usage: /stepwise-core:iterate-plan [plan-file-path] [changes to make]
   Example: /stepwise-core:iterate-plan thoughts/shared/plans/2025-10-16-feature.md add error handling phase
   
   Tip: You can list recent plans with `ls -lt thoughts/shared/plans/ | head`
   

   Wait for user input, then re-check for feedback.

   If $ARGUMENTS contains only plan file path (no feedback):

   I've found the plan at [path]. What changes would you like to make?
   
   For example:
   - "Add a phase for migration handling"
   - "Update the success criteria to include performance tests"
   - "Adjust the scope to exclude feature X"
   - "Split Phase 2 into two separate phases"
   

   Wait for user input.

   If $ARGUMENTS contains BOTH plan file AND feedback:

   • Proceed immediately to Step 1
   • No preliminary questions needed

Process Steps

Step 1: Read and Understand Current Plan

1. Read the existing plan file COMPLETELY:
   • Use the Read tool WITHOUT limit/offset parameters
   • Understand the current structure, phases, and scope
   • Note the success criteria and implementation approach
