174- ## Planning Philosophy
175-
176- The ` create_plan ` command emphasizes ** vertical slicing** and ** small safe steps** based on Eduardo Ferro's lean delivery philosophy.
177-
178- ### Key Principles:
179-
180- 1 . ** Vertical Slicing** (Hamburger Method):
181- - Identify technical layers (input → processing → storage → delivery)
182- - Define quality attributes (simplest → most robust) for each layer
183- - Compose minimal vertical slices that deliver real user value
184- - Iterate to enhance quality and scope
185-
186- 2 . ** Small Safe Steps** :
187- - Each phase delivers working functionality
188- - Favor reversible changes (feature flags, parallel writes, gradual rollouts)
189- - Postpone irreversible decisions until more information is available
190- - Separate learning (time-boxed research) from earning (value delivery)
191-
192- 3 . ** Progressive Delivery Patterns** :
193- - Dummy → Dynamic (hardcoded → real data)
194- - Backend-only → Full Stack (API → UI)
195- - Limited Scope → Full Feature (one segment/format → many)
196- - Manual → Automated (prove value → automate)
197- - Feature Flagged Rollout (team → beta → all)
198-
199- 4 . ** Eduardo Ferro's Leadership Philosophy** :
200- - "Can we avoid doing it?" - Challenge necessity
201- - "Can we achieve the same impact with fewer resources?" - Maximize impact, minimize effort
202- - "What if we only had half the time?" - Force prioritization
203- - "If you had to ship by tomorrow, what would you build?" - Identify minimum viable deliverable
204- - "What's the worst that could happen?" - Evaluate risk realistically for safe experiments
205-
206- ### Planning Process:
207-
208- The enhanced planning flow includes:
209- 1 . Context gathering (read files, spawn research agents)
210- 2 . ** Vertical slicing analysis** (new - Hamburger Method, complexity assessment)
211- 3 . Plan structure development (based on vertical slices)
212- 4 . Detailed plan writing (with Learning/Earning phases, reversibility notes)
213- 5 . Review and iteration
214-
215- ### Plan Structure:
216-
217- Plans now include:
218- - ** Vertical Slicing Analysis** : Layers, quality attributes, slice options, complexity assessment
219- - ** Progressive Delivery Pattern** : Specific pattern chosen and rollout strategy
220- - ** Decisions and Postponements** : What's decided now vs later
221- - ** Phases with Learning/Earning tags** : Each phase classified by type
222- - ** Reversibility notes** : How to undo or compensate for each phase
223- - ** Success criteria** : Still separated into automated vs manual
224-
225- This approach ensures plans are incremental, testable, and aligned with TDD and lean delivery principles.
