Feature Planning Workflow

Follow this workflow to plan and implement features effectively:

1. Create a new file: feature-name-plan.md

2. Initial Planning (CMD + K):

   • Chat to create a comprehensive todo list
   • Include specific data requirements
   • List required libraries
   • Document connections and dependencies

3. Validation Check:

   • Select entire plan
   • CMD + K to ask Claude for gaps
   • Review and refine based on feedback

4. Detailed Planning: Paste into o1 chat:

   We need to come up with a feature plan for: [feature name/idea]
   Help me come up with a plan and ask clarifying questions.
   Here's a rough checklist of everything I'd like the feature to do:
   [paste todo list]
   

5. Implementation Steps: Request atomic steps breakdown:

   Great. Now take everything we spoke about and break it down into atomic steps for a junior dev.
   Include specific data from the original checklist such that nothing is conceptual,
   and this list can be given to a developer to implement for production.
   Do not write code. If necessary though you can use pseudocode.
   

6. Documentation:

   • Save final plan to work-pg-plan.md

7. Development Setup:

   • Open Cursor composer in agent mode
   • Use Claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022

8. Implementation: Add context and initiate with:

   Analyze @plan.md. You are responsible for completing all work in the file.
   Step by step. Pick 3-5 at a time then we'll continue...

9. Progress Tracking:

   • Examine plan and track completed tasks
   • Continue implementation
   • Regular validation of components and data
