## Implemented Features

### 1. Plan Mode Detector

**File**: `src/workflows/plan-mode-detector.ts` (~670 lines)

**Key Features**:
- **10 Complexity Types Detected**:
  - `multi-agent`: Requires 3+ agents
  - `long-horizon`: Estimated >30 minutes
  - `complex-refactor`: Multi-file refactoring
  - `full-stack`: Frontend + Backend + Database
  - `database-migration`: Schema changes + API updates
  - `integration`: Third-party API integration
  - `security-critical`: Auth, payments, security
  - `performance-critical`: Optimization across layers
  - `multi-phase`: Multiple sequential phases
  - `high-risk`: Production deployments, breaking changes

**Example Detection**:
```typescript
import { PlanModeDetector } from './plan-mode-detector.js';

const detector = new PlanModeDetector();

const result = await detector.detectPlanMode({
  request: "Implement user authentication with OAuth and database schema",
  projectContext: {
    stack: ['React', 'Node.js', 'PostgreSQL'],
    hasDatabase: true,
    hasApi: true,
    hasFrontend: true,
  }
});

console.log(result);
// Output:
// {
//   shouldActivate: true,
//   confidence: 85,
//   reasoning: "Complex task detected (85% confidence).\n\n" +
//     "Complexity Indicators:\n" +
//     "• Requires 5+ agents for coordination\n" +
//     "• Full-stack feature (3 layers: Frontend, Backend, Database)\n" +
//     "• Database schema changes with API/UI updates\n" +
//     "• Third-party service integration required\n" +
//     "• Security-sensitive implementation\n\n" +
//     "Estimated Duration: 155 minutes\n" +
//     "Required Agents: 6 (sarah-pm, alex-ba, dana-database, marcus-backend, james-frontend, maria-qa)\n\n" +
//     "Plan Mode recommended for structured multi-phase execution.",
//   complexityIndicators: [ /* ... */ ],
//   estimatedDuration: 155,
//   agentsRequired: 6,
//   involvedAgents: ['sarah-pm', 'alex-ba', 'dana-database', 'marcus-backend', 'james-frontend', 'maria-qa'],
//   riskLevel: 'high'
// }
```

**Scoring Algorithm**:
- Each complexity indicator has a weight (0-100)
- Total weight is summed and normalized to 0-100 scale
- Activation threshold: 60% (configurable)
- Duration estimation: base 15 min + increments per indicator

### 2. Plan Generator

**File**: `src/workflows/plan-generator.ts` (~950 lines)

**Key Features**:
- **RAG-Integrated Historical Context**:
  - Similar features
  - Agent performance data
  - Time estimate accuracy
  - Relevant patterns

- **Phase Generation**:
  - Phase 1: Requirements Analysis (Alex-BA)
  - Phase 2-4: Three-tier parallel development (Dana + Marcus + James)
  - Phase 5: Integration (connect layers)

- **Parallel Execution Detection**:
  - Identifies phases that can run in parallel
  - Creates parallel groups
  - Calculates time savings

**Example Plan Generation**:
```typescript
import { PlanGenerator } from './plan-generator.js';
import { EnhancedVectorMemoryStore } from '../rag/enhanced-vector-memory-store.js';

const vectorStore = new EnhancedVectorMemoryStore(/* ... */);
const generator = new PlanGenerator(vectorStore);

  adjustEstimates?: Record<string, number>;
}
```

**Example Approval Flow**:
```typescript
import { PlanApprovalSystem } from './plan-approval-system.js';

const approvalSystem = new PlanApprovalSystem();

// Present plan
const presentation = approvalSystem.presentPlan(plan);
console.log(presentation.markdown);

// Output:
// ```markdown
// # 📋 PLAN: Implement user authentication with OAuth
//
// **Complexity**: High
// **Total Estimated Time**: 170 minutes (2.8 hours) with parallelization
// **Time Saved**: 60 minutes vs sequential execution
// **Confidence**: 82%
//
// ## Phase 1: Requirements Analysis (Alex-BA) - 30 min
// ✓ Extract and analyze requirements
// ✓ Define API contracts (endpoints + schemas)
// ✓ Create acceptance criteria and test scenarios
//
// **Quality Gates**:
// - ✅ Requirements review and approval (MANDATORY)
//
// ## Phase 2-4: Parallel Development - 60 min
//
// ### Phase 2: Database Layer (Dana-Database) - 45 min [PARALLEL]
// ✓ Design database schema and relationships
// ✓ Create migration scripts
// ✓ Add Row Level Security (RLS) policies
//
// **Quality Gates**:
// - ✅ Database migration tests (AUTOMATED)
//
// ### Phase 3: Backend API Layer (Marcus-Backend) - 60 min [PARALLEL]
// ✓ Implement API endpoints (with mock database)
// ✓ Add security patterns (OWASP compliance)
// ✓ Generate stress tests (Rule 2)
//
// **Quality Gates**:
// - ✅ API tests and security scan (AUTOMATED)
//
// ### Phase 4: Frontend UI Layer (James-Frontend) - 50 min [PARALLEL]
// ✓ Build UI components (with mock API)
// ✓ Add accessibility (WCAG 2.1 AA)
// ✓ Optimize performance and bundle size
//
// **Quality Gates**:
// - ✅ Accessibility and performance validation (AUTOMATED)
//
// ## Phase 5: Integration - 25 min

// - Time estimate accuracy: 91.67%
//
// ---
//
// **Approve plan?** [Y/n/modify]
// ```

// Wait for approval
const approval = await approvalSystem.waitForApproval(plan);

if (approval.decision === 'approve') {
  console.log('Plan approved! Creating TodoWrite tasks...');
} else if (approval.decision === 'modify') {
  const modifiedPlan = approvalSystem.modifyPlan(plan, approval.modifications!);

tracker.updateTodoStatus('phase-1-requirements', 'completed');

// Parallel phases
tracker.updateTodoStatus('phase-2-database', 'in_progress');
tracker.updateTodoStatus('phase-3-backend', 'in_progress');
tracker.updateTodoStatus('phase-4-frontend', 'in_progress');

// ... work happens in parallel ...

// One phase completes first
tracker.recordPhaseCompletion('phase-2-database', 43); // actual 43 min vs estimated 45 min
tracker.updateTodoStatus('phase-2-database', 'completed');

// Error in backend phase
try {
  // ... work ...
} catch (error) {

## Example: Complete Plan Mode Workflow

### User Request
```
/plan "Implement user authentication with OAuth, database schema for users/sessions, and login UI"
```

### Step 1: Detection (PlanModeDetector)
```
🔍 Analyzing task complexity...

✅ Complex task detected (85% confidence)

Complexity Indicators:
• Requires 6 agents for coordination (multi-agent)
• Full-stack feature (3 layers: Frontend, Backend, Database)
• Database schema changes with API/UI updates (database-migration)
• Third-party service integration required (OAuth)
• Security-sensitive implementation (security-critical)

Estimated Duration: 155 minutes (2.6 hours)
Required Agents: sarah-pm, alex-ba, dana-database, marcus-backend, james-frontend, maria-qa
Risk Level: HIGH

Plan Mode activated.
```

### Step 2: Plan Generation (PlanGenerator)
```
📋 Generating execution plan with historical context...

✅ Historical Context Retrieved:
• Similar feature: OAuth integration for payment system (87% relevance)
  - Previous duration: 145 min (estimated 180 min)
  - Accuracy: 91.67%
• marcus-backend average performance: 58 min/feature (92% success rate)
• dana-database RLS policies: +10 min buffer recommended

✅ Plan generated: 6 phases, 170 minutes (parallel), saves 60 minutes
```

### Step 3: Plan Presentation (PlanApprovalSystem)
```markdown
# 📋 PLAN: Implement user authentication with OAuth

**Complexity**: High
**Total Estimated Time**: 170 minutes (2.8 hours) with parallelization
**Time Saved**: 60 minutes vs sequential execution
**Confidence**: 82%

## Phase 1: Requirements Analysis (Alex-BA) - 30 min
✓ Extract and analyze requirements
✓ Define API contracts (endpoints + schemas)
✓ Create acceptance criteria

**Quality Gates**: Requirements review (MANDATORY)

## Phase 2-4: Parallel Development - 60 min

### Phase 2: Database Layer (Dana) - 45 min [PARALLEL]
✓ Design users/sessions schema
✓ Create migration scripts
✓ Add RLS policies

### Phase 3: Backend API (Marcus) - 60 min [PARALLEL]
✓ Implement /auth/* endpoints (with mocks)
✓ OWASP security compliance
✓ Generate stress tests

### Phase 4: Frontend UI (James) - 50 min [PARALLEL]
✓ Build LoginForm component (with mocks)
✓ WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility
✓ Performance optimization

## Phase 5: Integration - 25 min
✓ Connect database → API → frontend
✓ End-to-end testing

## Phase 6: Quality Assurance (Maria) - 20 min
✓ Test coverage validation (80%+)
✓ Security scan
✓ Performance testing

## Risks & Mitigations
⚠️ Database migration (HIGH): Backup + rollback testing (85% effective)
⚠️ Security vulnerabilities (HIGH): OWASP compliance + pen testing (90% effective)

# 📊 Plan Execution Report

## Summary
- **Estimated**: 170 minutes (2.8 hours)
- **Actual**: 185 minutes (3.1 hours)
- **Variance**: +15 minutes (+8.82%)

## Phase Breakdown
| Phase | Estimated | Actual | Variance | Status |
|-------|-----------|--------|----------|--------|
| Phase 1: Requirements | 30 min | 32 min | +2 min | ✅ |
| Phase 2: Database (parallel) | 45 min | 43 min | -2 min | ✅ |

| Phase 4: Frontend (parallel) | 50 min | 52 min | +2 min | ✅ |
| Phase 5: Integration | 25 min | 28 min | +3 min | ✅ |
| Phase 6: Quality | 20 min | 20 min | ±0 min | ✅ |

## Quality Gates: All Passed ✅
- Requirements approval: ✅ Approved
- Database migration tests: ✅ All passing
- API security scan: ✅ Clean (OWASP compliant)
- Frontend accessibility: ✅ WCAG 2.1 AA compliant
- E2E integration tests: ✅ All passing
- Final QA: ✅ Coverage 87%, Security clean, Performance pass

## Learnings Codified
1. OAuth setup complexity underestimated - add 20 min buffer for future OAuth features
2. Parallel three-tier execution saved 60 minutes as planned (effective pattern)
3. Database RLS policies required +10 min for testing (update estimates)

## Recommendations
- Future OAuth features: Estimate +20 min for third-party API setup
- Continue using three-tier parallel pattern for full-stack features
- Add 10 min buffer for database security testing (RLS, policies)

✅ Learnings stored to RAG for next feature (Compounding Engineering active)
