Instructions
Read all references in references/ before using this skill.
Multi-Agent Awareness
IMPORTANT: Multiple agents may be working on different phases concurrently. Before creating a new phase:
- Scan the last 10 phases for potential file/domain overlaps
- Check git status for uncommitted changes from other agents
- Document dependencies on other active phases in your plan
If you detect overlap with an active phase, note it in your plan's Context section and specify how the phases should coordinate.
See 06_MULTI_AGENT_COORDINATION.md for detailed procedures.
Signals
- The conversation reaches a new direction or architecture decision
- The user says "create a phase plan", "materialize this", "capture this into planning"
- A "we should plan this" moment where structure would help
