Update Implementation Plan

Update the plan file by checking off completed tasks and optionally committing the changes.

Process

Step 1: Review Completed Work

  • Identify tasks that have been finished since last update
  • Note any discoveries or changes from the original plan
  • Check for tasks that are partially complete

Step 2: Update Plan File

  • Mark completed tasks with [x] replacing [ ]
  • Add notes for any deviations or discoveries
  • Update any estimates or scope changes
  • Do NOT remove uncompleted tasks

Step 3: Commit Changes

Create a commit with the plan updates:

docs: update implementation plan

- Mark completed: [list items]
- Next up: [next tasks]

Plan File Format

## Phase 1: Setup
- [x] Create project structure
- [x] Add dependencies
- [ ] Configure environment

## Phase 2: Implementation
- [ ] Implement feature A
- [ ] Add tests

## Notes
- Discovery: Found existing utility that can be reused
- Change: Using different approach for X due to Y

Guidelines

  • Only mark tasks as complete when fully done
  • Keep the plan file as the single source of truth
  • Commit plan updates separately from code changes when possible
  • Add notes section if significant discoveries were made
  • Don't modify task descriptions unless absolutely necessary

Finding Plan Files

Look for plan files in:

  • ai_specs/plans/*.md
  • docs/plans/*.md
  • Root directory *-plan.md or PLAN.md
  • Any file mentioned in recent conversation
