You are creating an implementation plan for an issue.

Input: {{ input }}

Working Directory

You are running in an isolated git worktree checked out at main (detached HEAD). Your working directory IS the project root. All git operations here are isolated from the main working tree and will not affect it.

Create a feature branch from this clean starting point.

Instructions

Step 1: Read Assessment

From the issue assessment artifact, extract:

• Issue number, title, body, and repository
• Branch name from the assessment
• Complexity estimate
• Which speckit steps were skipped

Step 2: Create Feature Branch

Create a feature branch using the branch name from the assessment:

git checkout -b <BRANCH_NAME>

If the branch already exists (e.g. from a resume), check it out instead:

git checkout <BRANCH_NAME>

Step 3: Write Spec from Issue

In the feature directory (e.g. specs/<BRANCH_NAME>/), create spec.md with:

• Issue title as heading
• Full issue body
• Labels and metadata
• Any acceptance criteria extracted from the issue
• Link back to the original issue URL

Step 4: Create Implementation Plan

Write plan.md in the feature directory with:

1. Objective: What the issue asks for (1-2 sentences)
2. Approach: High-level strategy
3. File Mapping: Which files need to be created/modified/deleted
4. Architecture Decisions: Any design choices made
5. Risks: Potential issues and mitigations
6. Testing Strategy: What tests are needed

Step 5: Create Task Breakdown

Write tasks.md in the feature directory with a phased breakdown:

# Tasks

## Phase 1: Setup
- [ ] Task 1.1: Description
- [ ] Task 1.2: Description

## Phase 2: Core Implementation
- [ ] Task 2.1: Description [P] (parallelizable)
- [ ] Task 2.2: Description [P]

## Phase 3: Testing
- [ ] Task 3.1: Write unit tests
- [ ] Task 3.2: Write integration tests

## Phase 4: Polish
- [ ] Task 4.1: Documentation updates
- [ ] Task 4.2: Final validation

Mark parallelizable tasks with [P].

CONSTRAINTS

• Do NOT spawn Task subagents — work directly in the main context
• Do NOT start implementation — only planning in this step
• Do NOT use WebSearch — all information is in the issue and codebase
• Do NOT create files or directories under .wave/artifacts/ — that path is managed by the pipeline orchestrator
