Plan
approve-plan
Approve a drafted implementation plan so implementation can begin.
/cl-dev:approve-plan is the checkpoint between planning and building. It marks a
drafted implementation plan as approved. That signals the plan has been
reviewed and coding can start.
What it does
Approves the implementation plan for a claimed issue. Once you approve, the plan
is locked in as the agreed path forward and the work item is ready for
/cl-dev:implement to build against it. Think of it as the
green light: everything before it is proposal, everything after it is execution.
When to use it
Run it right after /cl-dev:create-impl-plan has
produced a plan and you've read it over and are satisfied with the approach. It
sits between planning and implementation in the workflow:
create-impl-plan → approve-plan → implementReach for it when a plan is drafted and waiting on your sign-off. Review the
plan first. Approving is your explicit "yes, build this."
If the plan still needs work, revise it (re-run
/cl-dev:create-impl-plan) before approving. And
because /cl-dev:implement builds against an approved plan, this is the step
that unblocks it.
How to invoke it
Invoke it in your coding agent on a work item that already has a drafted plan:
/cl-dev:approve-planIt works on the plan for your current work item, so run it once the plan is
drafted and you've reviewed it. If your coding agent isn't already focused on the
right work item, load it first with
/cl-dev:set-context.
