## When it is useful

Breaks work into ordered tasks. Use when you have a spec or clear requirements and need to break work into implementable tasks. Use when a task feels too large to start, when you need to estimate scope, or when parallel work is possible.

## The Catch

After a spec. Overlaps writing-plans. Never-fire if the agent does not load it.
