plan-cascade

Approve the current PRD and begin parallel story execution. Analyzes dependencies, creates execution batches, launches background Task agents for each story, and monitors progress. Usage: /plan-cascade:approve [--flow <quick|standard|full>] [--tdd <off|on|auto>] [--confirm] [--no-confirm] [--agent <name>] [--impl-agent <name>] [--retry-agent <name>] [--no-verify] [--verify-agent <name>] [--no-review] [--no-fallback] [--auto-run]

AI auto strategy executor. Analyzes task and automatically selects and executes the best strategy: direct execution, hybrid-auto PRD generation, hybrid-worktree isolated development, or mega-plan multi-feature orchestration.

Check and update .gitignore to exclude Plan Cascade temporary files. Ensures planning files won't be accidentally committed to version control.

Complete a worktree task. Verifies all phases are complete, commits code changes (excluding planning files), merges to target branch, and removes worktree. Can be run from any directory. Usage: /plan-cascade:complete [target-branch]

Show execution status dashboard. Usage: /plan-cascade:dashboard [--verbose|-v] [--json]

Generate a technical design document. Auto-detects level: project-level from mega-plan.json, or feature-level from prd.json. Provides architectural context for story execution.

Import an external design document (Markdown, JSON, or HTML from Confluence/Notion) and convert it to design_doc.json format for Plan Cascade integration.

Review and interactively edit the current design_doc.json. Displays the design document in a readable format and allows modifications to components, patterns, decisions, and story mappings.

Edit the current PRD in your default editor. Opens prd.json, validates after saving, and re-displays review. Supports adding/removing stories, changing priorities, and modifying dependencies.

Generate PRD from task description and enter review mode. Auto-generates user stories with priorities, dependencies, and acceptance criteria for parallel execution. Usage: /plan-cascade:hybrid-auto [--flow <quick|standard|full>] [--tdd <off|on|auto>] [--confirm] [--no-confirm] [--spec <off|auto|on>] [--first-principles] [--max-questions N] [--agent <name>] <task description> [design-doc-path]

Complete Hybrid Ralph task in worktree, verify all stories complete, commit code changes (excluding planning files), merge to target branch, and cleanup worktree directory. Can be run from any directory.

Load an existing PRD file and enter review mode. Supports JSON format with stories, priorities, dependencies, and acceptance criteria.

Resume an interrupted hybrid task (worktree or regular). Auto-detects state from files and continues execution. Usage: /plan-cascade:hybrid-resume [--auto]

Show execution status of all stories in the PRD. Displays batch progress, individual story states, completion percentage, and recent activity logs.

Start a new task in an isolated Git worktree with Hybrid Ralph PRD mode. Creates worktree, branch, loads existing PRD or auto-generates from description. Usage: /plan-cascade:hybrid-worktree [--flow <quick|standard|full>] [--tdd <off|on|auto>] [--confirm] [--no-confirm] [--spec <off|auto|on>] [--first-principles] [--max-questions N] [--agent <name>] <task-name> <target-branch> <prd-path-or-description> [design-doc-path]

Initialize Plan Cascade environment. Detects OS, installs uv if needed, and verifies Python execution. Run this once before using other commands.

Approve the mega-plan and start feature execution. Creates worktrees and generates PRDs for each feature. Usage: /plan-cascade:mega-approve [--flow <quick|standard|full>] [--tdd <off|on|auto>] [--confirm] [--no-confirm] [--spec <off|auto|on>] [--first-principles] [--max-questions N] [--auto-prd] [--agent <name>] [--prd-agent <name>] [--impl-agent <name>]

Complete the mega-plan by cleaning up planning files. All features should already be merged via mega-approve. Usage: /plan-cascade:mega-complete

Edit the mega-plan interactively. Add, remove, or modify features. Usage: /plan-cascade:mega-edit

Generate a mega-plan for project-level multi-feature orchestration. Breaks a complex project into parallel features with dependencies. Usage: /plan-cascade:mega-plan [--flow <quick|standard|full>] [--tdd <off|on|auto>] [--confirm] [--no-confirm] [--spec <off|auto|on>] [--first-principles] [--max-questions N] <project description> [design-doc-path]

Resume an interrupted mega-plan execution. Detects current state from existing files and continues automatically. Usage: /plan-cascade:mega-resume [--auto-prd]

Show detailed status of mega-plan execution including feature progress and story completion. Usage: /plan-cascade:mega-status

Auto-detect and resume any interrupted Plan Cascade task. Detects mega-plan, hybrid-worktree, or hybrid-auto context and routes to the appropriate resume command.

Display the dependency graph for all stories in the PRD. Shows visual ASCII graph, dependency details, critical path analysis, and detects issues like circular dependencies or bottlenecks.

Cleanup spec interview state (and optionally spec artifacts). Usage: /plan-cascade:spec-cleanup [--output-dir <dir>] [--all]

Run a resumable spec interview to produce spec.json/spec.md (planning-time), then optionally compile to prd.json. Usage: /plan-cascade:spec-plan "<desc>" [--output-dir <dir>] [--flow <quick|standard|full>] [--first-principles] [--max-questions N] [--feature-slug <slug>] [--compile] [--tdd <off|on|auto>] [--confirm] [--no-confirm]

Resume a spec interview from .state/spec-interview.json. Usage: /plan-cascade:spec-resume [--output-dir <dir>] [--flow <quick|standard|full>]

Implements Manus-style file-based planning for complex tasks. Creates task_plan.md, findings.md, and progress.md. Use when starting complex multi-step tasks, research projects, or any task requiring >5 tool calls. Now with automatic session recovery after /clear

Start a new task in an isolated Git worktree for parallel multi-task development. Creates a task branch, worktree directory with planning files, and leaves the main directory untouched. Usage: /plan-cascade:worktree [task-name] [target-branch]. Example: /plan-cascade:worktree feature-login main

Hybrid architecture combining Ralph's PRD format with Planning-with-Files' structured approach. Auto-generates PRDs from task descriptions, manages parallel story execution with dependency resolution, and provides context-filtered agents for efficient multi-story development.

Project-level multi-task orchestration system. Manages multiple hybrid:worktree features in parallel with dependency resolution, coordinated PRD generation, and unified merge workflow.

Implements Manus-style file-based planning for complex tasks. Creates task_plan.md, findings.md, and progress.md. Use when starting complex multi-step tasks, research projects, or any task requiring >5 tool calls. Now with automatic session recovery after /clear and optional Git worktree mode.
