Plans

Plans provide structured multi-step task execution with a live progress widget in the TUI.

Creating a Plan

Ask the agent to plan a complex task:

"Plan the migration from PostgreSQL to SQLite"

The agent uses the plan tool internally to create a plan with:

• Title and description
• Technical stack
• Risk assessment
• Test strategy
• Ordered tasks with dependencies and complexity ratings

Plan Lifecycle

1. Draft — Agent creates the plan and adds tasks
2. Finalize — Agent calls finalize which triggers the tool approval dialog
3. Approved — You approve in the tool dialog, plan status becomes Approved, and the agent begins executing tasks immediately
4. In Progress — Tasks execute in dependency order
5. Completed — All tasks done

In ask mode (default), the finalize step triggers the tool approval dialog — you review the full plan before execution begins. In auto-approve mode, finalize is auto-approved and the agent plans and executes without pausing.

Task States

Each task in a plan can be:

• Pending (·) — Waiting for dependencies
• InProgress (▶) — Currently executing
• Completed (✓) — Done
• Skipped (✓) — Manually skipped
• Failed (✗) — Execution failed
• Blocked (·) — Dependencies not met

TUI Plan Widget

When a plan is active, a live checklist panel appears above the input box showing:

• Plan title and progress counter (e.g. 3/7)
• Progress bar — Visual ██████░░░░ bar with percentage
• Task list — Up to 6 tasks visible with status icons and task numbers
• Overflow indicator — ... (N more) when tasks exceed the visible limit

The widget updates in real-time as the agent completes each task.

Managing Plans

Plans are managed through natural language:

"Approve the plan"
"Reject the plan"
"What's the plan status?"
"Skip task 3"

The agent handles plan creation, approval, execution, and status reporting through the plan tool.
