# Plan an Implementation
## Objective
Define an action plan BEFORE coding. The plan must be validated before implementation.
## Instructions
### 1. Understand the request
**Questions to clarify:**
- What is the business objective?
- What are the acceptance criteria?
- Are there any technical constraints?
- What is the priority/deadline?
### 2. Analyze the existing code
```bash
# Search for similar code
grep -rn "similar_pattern" --include="*.ts" | head -20
# Identify dependencies
cat package.json | grep -A 20 '"dependencies"'
```
### 3. Define the architecture
**Decisions to make:**
- Where to place the new code?
- Which patterns to use?
- Which interfaces to create?
- How to handle errors?
### 4. List the tasks
Break down into atomic tasks of 1-2h max.
## Plan template
```markdown
## Plan: [Feature name]
### Objective
[Description in 1-2 sentences]
### Files to create
| File | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| `src/xxx.ts` | [Role] |
### Files to modify
| File | Modifications |
|---------|---------------|
| `src/yyy.ts` | [Changes] |
### Tests to write
- [ ] Nominal case test
- [ ] Edge cases test
- [ ] Error test
### Implementation steps
1. [ ] [Task 1]
2. [ ] [Task 2]
3. [ ] [Task 3]
### Identified risks
| Risk | Mitigation |
|--------|------------|
| [Risk 1] | [Solution] |
### Dependencies
- [ ] [Prerequisite 1]
```
## Rules
- NEVER code without a validated plan
- One plan = one feature
- Estimate complexity, not time
- Identify risks BEFORE
