2.11Step 7 — Prepare the planning system

The first scaffold should not only create code folders. It should create an operating system for future work.

That means Claude Code should create at least:

docs/plans/active/
docs/plans/completed/
docs/plans/handoffs/
docs/plans/templates/

Required templates

The scaffold should include templates for:

  • sprint contract
  • execution plan
  • evaluator report

What each should contain

Sprint contract

  • task name
  • linked request or spec
  • scope
  • out of scope
  • acceptance criteria
  • validation commands
  • expected files to change
  • risks and assumptions

Execution plan

  • problem statement
  • approach
  • phases
  • progress log
  • decisions
  • follow-up debt

Evaluator report

  • contract reviewed
  • commands run
  • environment
  • pass/fail summary
  • evidence
  • missing coverage
  • recommendation

This makes future long-running agent work much more reliable.
