Write a short implementation plan or a longer execution plan before coding. Use when starting new work, when a ticket needs clearer boundaries, when a change spans multiple files or interfaces, or when a multi-hour task needs a living plan.

Source documentation, not instructions for this website. Review permissions before running any commands.
Turn a ticket, feature request, or rough idea into a plan that is clear enough to implement against.
For smaller work, that means a short working plan.
For larger multi-hour work, that means a longer living execution plan in the style of PLANS.md.

# GRA-141 Plan
Goal: persist scraped jobs into Postgres while keeping CSV export.
Context:
- Current scraper exports CSV.
- We want minimal persistence without broadening scope into UI or API work.
Scope:
- Add DB configuration.
- Define a minimal jobs table.
- Persist jobs from the scraper flow.
Non-goals:
- No new UI.
- No API endpoints.
- No broad data model redesign.
Steps:
1. Add DB configuration and connection setup.
2. Define minimal `jobs` table.
3. Implement job upsert logic.
4. Wire scraper CLI to persist jobs.
5. Keep CSV export optional.
6. Add tests for upsert and rerun behavior.
7. Run review and cleanup.
Verification:
- Targeted tests pass.
- Existing CLI flow still works.
A full execution plan should be self-contained and readable by someone with only the working tree and the plan.

--- name: plan description: Write a short implementation plan or a longer execution plan before coding. Use when starting new work, when a ticket needs clearer boundaries, when a change spans multiple files or interfaces, or when a multi-hour task needs a living plan. --- # Plan ## Purpose Turn a ticket, feature request, or rough idea into a plan that is clear enough to implement against. For smaller work, that means a short working plan. For larger multi-hour work, that means a longer living execution plan in the style of `PLANS.md`. ## When to use - Starting a new feature or meaningful change - A Linear ticket is good, but still needs cleaner implementation intent - Requirements, scope, or success criteria are unclear - The change touches multiple files, interfaces, config, schema, or data flow - The task is large enough that you want a document to guide several implementation passes ## Choose the right level of planning ### 1. Lightweight plan Use this when: - the ticket is already fairly descriptive - the change is small or medium - you mainly need clearer scope, steps, and verification Output: - a short Markdown plan - usually 5-20 lines - enough for one focused implementation session ### 2. Full execution plan Use this when: - the task may take multiple hours - the work spans multiple milestones - you need a living document during implementation - another engineer or agent should be able to continue from the plan alone Output: - a self-contained plan in the style of `PLANS.md` - prose-first, explicit, and updateable during implementation ## Process 1. Read the ticket, product context, `AGENTS.md`, and relevant code before planning. 2. Restate the goal in plain English. 3. Decide whether this needs a lightweight plan or a full execution plan. 4. If a material decision is missing, ask a concise question or state an explicit assumption. 5. Write the plan so someone could implement from it without relying on hidden context. ## What a lightweight plan should contain - Goal - Context - Scope - Non-goals - Proposed steps - Risks - Verification Example: ```md # GRA-141 Plan Goal: persist scraped jobs into Postgres while keeping CSV export. Context: - Current scraper exports CSV. - We want minimal persistence without broadening scope into UI or API work. Scope: - Add DB configuration. - Define a minimal jobs table. - Persist jobs from the scraper flow. Non-goals: - No new UI. - No API endpoints. - No broad data model redesign. Steps: 1.

Add tests for upsert and rerun behavior. 7. Run review and cleanup. Verification: - Targeted tests pass. - Existing CLI flow still works. ``` ## What a full execution plan should contain A full execution plan should be self-contained and readable by someone with only the working tree and the plan. Required sections: - Purpose - Progress - Surprises & Discoveries - Decision Log - Outcomes & Retrospective - Context and Orientation - Plan of Work - Concrete Steps - Validation and Acceptance - Rollback or Safety Notes, if relevant For larger tasks: - write in plain English - explain non-obvious terms immediately - name files by path - keep the plan updated as work progresses ## Rules - Keep the plan as short as the task allows. - Do not write a greenfield design if the codebase already has patterns to follow. - Call out schema, config, CLI, API, or file-format changes explicitly. - Make requirements specific enough that someone can review the implementation against them. - If the request is tiny and obvious, skip the long plan and move straight to a lightweight plan or direct implementation. - If the task is long-running, treat the plan as a living document and update it during execution. - If the plan starts getting large because the task is actually several tasks, split the work. ## Resources For this repo, use: - `resources/plan-template.md` for a short working plan - `resources/execplan-template.md` for a longer `PLANS.md`-style execution plan
