Pre-Execution Checks

Check for extension hooks (before planning):

Check if .specify/extensions.yml exists in the project root.
If it exists, read it and look for entries under the hooks.before_plan key
If the YAML cannot be parsed or is invalid, skip hook checking silently and continue normally
Filter out hooks where enabled is explicitly false. Treat hooks without an enabled field as enabled by default.
For each remaining hook, do not attempt to interpret or evaluate hook condition expressions:
- If the hook has no condition field, or it is null/empty, treat the hook as executable
- If the hook defines a non-empty condition, skip the hook and leave condition evaluation to the HookExecutor implementation

For each executable hook, output the following based on its optional flag:

Optional hook (optional: true):

## Extension Hooks

**Optional Pre-Hook**: {extension}
Command: `/{command}`
Description: {description}

Prompt: {prompt}
To execute: `/{command}`

Mandatory hook (optional: false):

## Extension Hooks

**Automatic Pre-Hook**: {extension}
Executing: `/{command}`
EXECUTE_COMMAND: {command}

Wait for the result of the hook command before proceeding to the Outline.

If no hooks are registered or .specify/extensions.yml does not exist, skip silently

Outline

Setup: Run .specify/scripts/bash/setup-plan.sh --json from repo root and parse JSON for FEATURE_SPEC, IMPL_PLAN, SPECS_DIR, BRANCH. For single quotes in args like "I'm Groot", use escape syntax: e.g 'I'''m Groot' (or double-quote if possible: "I'm Groot").
Load context: Read FEATURE_SPEC and .specify/memory/constitution.md. Load IMPL_PLAN template (already copied).
Execute plan workflow: Follow the structure in IMPL_PLAN template to:
- Fill Technical Context (mark unknowns as "NEEDS CLARIFICATION")
- Fill Constitution Check section from constitution
- Evaluate gates (ERROR if violations unjustified)
- Phase 0: Generate research.md (resolve all NEEDS CLARIFICATION)
- Phase 1: Generate data-model.md, contracts/, quickstart.md
- Phase 1: Update agent context by running the agent script
- Re-evaluate Constitution Check post-design
Stop and report: Command ends after Phase 2 planning. Report branch, IMPL_PLAN path, and generated artifacts.
Check for extension hooks: After reporting, check if .specify/extensions.yml exists in the project root.
- If it exists, read it and look for entries under the hooks.after_plan key
- If the YAML cannot be parsed or is invalid, skip hook checking silently and continue normally
- Filter out hooks where enabled is explicitly false. Treat hooks without an enabled field as enabled by default.
- For each remaining hook, do not attempt to interpret or evaluate hook condition expressions:
  - If the hook has no condition field, or it is null/empty, treat the hook as executable
  - If the hook defines a non-empty condition, skip the hook and leave condition evaluation to the HookExecutor implementation
- For each executable hook, output the following based on its optional flag:
  - Optional hook (optional: true):
```
## Extension Hooks

**Optional Hook**: {extension}
Command: `/{command}`
Description: {description}

Prompt: {prompt}
To execute: `/{command}`
```
  - Mandatory hook (optional: false):
```
## Extension Hooks

**Automatic Hook**: {extension}
Executing: `/{command}`
EXECUTE_COMMAND: {command}
```
- If no hooks are registered or .specify/extensions.yml does not exist, skip silently

Phases

Phase 0: Outline & Research

Extract unknowns from Technical Context above:
- For each NEEDS CLARIFICATION → research task
- For each dependency → best practices task
- For each integration → patterns task

Generate and dispatch research agents:

For each unknown in Technical Context:
  Task: "Research {unknown} for {feature context}"
For each technology choice:
  Task: "Find best practices for {tech} in {domain}"

Consolidate findings in research.md using format:
- Decision: [what was chosen]
- Rationale: [why chosen]
- Alternatives considered: [what else evaluated]

Output: research.md with all NEEDS CLARIFICATION resolved

Phase 1: Design & Contracts

Prerequisites: research.md complete

Extract entities from feature spec → data-model.md:
- Entity name, fields, relationships
- Validation rules from requirements
- State transitions if applicable
Define interface contracts (if project has external interfaces) → /contracts/:
- Identify what interfaces the project exposes to users or other systems
- Document the contract format appropriate for the project type
- Examples: public APIs for libraries, command schemas for CLI tools, endpoints for web services, grammars for parsers, UI contracts for applications
- Skip if project is purely internal (build scripts, one-off tools, etc.)
Agent context update:
- Run .specify/scripts/bash/update-agent-context.sh claude
- These scripts detect which AI agent is in use
- Update the appropriate agent-specific context file
- Add only new technology from current plan
- Preserve manual additions between markers

Output: data-model.md, /contracts/*, quickstart.md, agent-specific file

Key rules

Use absolute paths
ERROR on gate failures or unresolved clarifications
