What is plan-c?
plan-c is a specialized technical module designed for AI agents that focus on iterative development. Unlike tools that create new structures, this skill is optimized for continuing conversations within existing planning files. It allows developers to maintain continuity in long-running projects by recognizing explicit file loading intents and providing immediate status summaries. By leveraging the power of Openclaw Skills, it bridges the gap between high-level architectural planning and low-level codebase reality.
The skill operates with a sophisticated routing logic that distinguishes between a simple overview request and a deep-dive technical analysis. This ensure that the agent provides the right level of detail based on user intent, whether that is simply checking a TODO list or performing a comprehensive scan of function signatures and data models to refine a technical approach.
plan-c Use Cases
- Resuming complex development tasks by loading historical planning context from previous sessions.
- Conducting deep-dive technical explorations of specific architectural directions without modifying source code.
- Automatically updating planning documents and TODO lists based on real-time codebase analysis.
- Managing project transitions by summarizing current status for team members using Openclaw Skills.
How plan-c Works
- Path Identification: The agent scans user input for explicit file paths (e.g., plans/xxx/xxx.md) or references the most recent planning context.
- Intent Classification: The system determines if the user wants a Quick Summary (Fast Load) or a detailed technical iteration (Depth Exploration).
- Codebase Analysis: In exploration mode, the agent performs a read-only scan of directory structures, dependency trees, and interface definitions.
- Document Iteration: Results from the analysis are integrated back into the planning markdown, resolving uncertainties and updating task lists.
- Guided Feedback: The skill concludes by summarizing changes and proposing the next logical step in the development lifecycle.
plan-c Setup
To integrate plan-c into your environment, ensure you have an existing plan generated by compatible Openclaw Skills. You do not need to initialize new scripts. Simply reference your existing markdown plan in your agent prompt:
/plan-c continue with plans/20250520/refactor-auth.md
If no file is found, the system will prompt you to create one using the plan-i utility.
plan-c Data Schema & Taxonomy
The skill interacts with structured Markdown planning files organized as follows:
| Component | Format | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Task Tracking | GFM Checkboxes | Tracks progress of implementation steps and TODOs |
| Uncertainties | List Items | Identifies technical blockers that require codebase scanning |
| Context Metadata | YAML Frontmatter | Stores skill-specific metadata like name and description |
| Logic Flow | Markdown Sections | Defines the architectural approach and data structures |
plan-c Advanced Features
- Context-Aware Routing: Automatically switches between summary and analysis modes based on keyword triggers.
- Read-Only Security: Guarantees no code modifications occur during the planning phase to maintain architectural integrity.
- Recursive Dependency Mapping: Identifies deep-seated conflicts or refactoring needs across multiple files within the project tree.
- State Persistence: Ensures every iteration cycle is grounded in the latest file state, preventing context drift in Openclaw Skills.
