plan_task

Read-only

Generate a concrete execution plan with ordered steps, risks, and checkpoints.

When to use: Use this before larger workflows or when a task benefits from decomposition into clear steps.

Example

Run for real by scripts/tool-examples.py in a small demo project, with Haiku 5.5 where the tool calls a model. The output is exactly what the tool returned.

The call

tool call
{
  "tool": "plan_task",
  "arguments": {
    "goal": "Add annual billing to the pricing module",
    "constraints": [
      "keep price() backwards compatible"
    ]
  }
}

Real output

Goal: Add annual billing to the pricing module
Plan:
1. Clarify the target output and inputs.
2. Select the right tools and gather evidence.
3. Execute the task in small verifiable steps.
4. Verify the result against constraints.
5. Return the final deliverable and note any residual risks.
Constraints:
- keep price() backwards compatible
