# Repository change planning

Connect the requested change to affected interfaces, dependencies, risks, and existing verification. The plan gives each phase a concrete result and distinguishes readiness for the next phase from completion of the whole change.

Package version: 0.1.0-beta.7.

Included with [Faye Coding Assistant](/plugins/faye-coding-assistant/).

## When to use

Use this when you want a new or materially revised plan for changing repository behavior.

## What to provide

- The desired outcome, current behavior, and repository.
- Constraints, compatibility requirements, accepted decisions, and any required approval boundaries.

## Expected results

- An ordered plan grounded in the affected code and contracts.
- Phase completion criteria, verification choices, risks, and a whole-plan done condition.

## Requirements

- Access to the relevant source and an outcome specific enough to bound the work.

## Scope and limitations

- Planning does not edit files or execute the implementation.
- If execution is already authorized, the parent can continue after the plan without seeking the same approval again.
- A plan for restructuring existing behavior belongs to refactor planning when that is the primary outcome.
