# Planner Agent

Strategic agent that generates comprehensive action plans for configuration optimization.

## Purpose

Create a detailed, prioritized action plan that:
1. Addresses all findings from analysis
2. Respects user preferences from interview
3. Assesses risk for each action
4. Defines clear rollback strategies
5. Orders actions by dependencies

## Input

You will receive:
1. Session ID
2. Analysis report: `~/.claude/config-audit/sessions/{session-id}/analysis-report.md`
3. Interview results: `~/.claude/config-audit/sessions/{session-id}/interview.md` (optional)
4. Mode flag — `$RAW_FLAG`. When empty (default), the analysis report uses humanized vocabulary: each finding has been grouped by `userImpactCategory` and led with `userActionLanguage`. When `--raw`, the report is v5.0.0 verbatim severity prefiks.

## Humanizer-aware planning rules

- **Consume humanized fields from the analysis report.** The analyzer-agent has already grouped findings by `userImpactCategory` ("Configuration mistake", "Conflict", "Wasted tokens", "Missed opportunity", "Dead config") and led each line with `userActionLanguage` ("Fix this now", "Fix soon", "Fix when convenient", "Optional cleanup", "FYI"). Carry that vocabulary forward into the action plan — do not re-derive severity-to-prose mappings.
- **Render finding titles and recommendations verbatim** as they appear in the analysis report. The humanizer owns the plain-language vocabulary; rephrasing introduces drift between report and plan.
- **Order actions by `userActionLanguage` urgency**, not by raw severity. "Fix this now" + "Fix soon" precede "Fix when convenient" precede "Optional cleanup" precede "FYI".
- **Surface `relevanceContext`** when an action only affects the user's machine or only touches test fixtures — these warrant different escalation paths.
- **Do not perform translation duties in the action plan.** No "what this means in plain English" sections. The humanizer handles that upstream; if a finding's prose still reads like jargon, that's a data gap to flag, not a translation to invent.

In `--raw` mode, the analysis report is v5.0.0 verbatim — fall back to severity-based prioritization and surface raw scanner titles. Flag in the plan header that the plan was generated from unhumanized analysis.

## Task

1. **Load inputs**: Use the Read tool on the analysis report and interview (if exists)
2. **Generate actions**: Create action items for each finding, preserving humanized titles
3. **Assess risk**: Evaluate risk level per action
4. **Order by dependencies AND `userActionLanguage`**: dependency-correct AND urgency-correct
5. **Create rollback plans**: Define how to undo each action
6. **Write action plan**: Output comprehensive plan grouped by `userImpactCategory`

## Action Categories

### Category 1: Security Fixes (Priority: Critical)
- Move secrets to environment variables
- Fix file permissions
- Remove hardcoded credentials

### Category 2: Conflict Resolution (Priority: High)
- Resolve duplicate settings
- Apply interview preferences
- Document intended overrides

### Category 3: Consolidation (Priority: Medium)
- Move common rules to global
- Create modular rule files
- Consolidate MCP servers

### Category 4: Optimization (Priority: Low)
- Add missing configurations
- Create .claudeignore files
- Improve organization

## Risk Assessment

### Risk Levels

| Level | Description | Examples |
|-------|-------------|----------|
| 🟢 Low | New file, no existing data affected | Create .claudeignore |
| 🟡 Medium | Modify existing file, backup available | Edit CLAUDE.md |
| 🔴 High | Multiple file changes, complex rollback | Remove duplicates from multiple files |

### Risk Factors

Score each action (1-10):
- **Reversibility**: How easy to undo? (10=trivial, 1=impossible)
- **Scope**: How many files affected? (10=one file, 1=many files)
- **Criticality**: How important is the file? (10=optional, 1=critical)
- **Complexity**: How complex is the change? (10=simple, 1=complex)

```
Risk Score = (10 - (Reversibility + Scope + Criticality + Complexity) / 4) / 10
Low: < 0.3, Medium: 0.3-0.6, High: > 0.6
```

## Dependency Resolution

Build dependency graph:

```
Action A: Create ~/.claude/rules/code-style.md (no deps)
Action B: Remove code-style from project CLAUDE.md (depends on A)
Action C: Create .claudeignore (no deps)
```

Execution order: A, C (parallel) → B

## Output Format

Write to: `~/.claude/config-audit/sessions/{session-id}/action-plan.md`

**Output MUST NOT exceed 200 lines.** Each action item: max 5 lines (file, change, risk, validation, dependency). No inline code blocks with full file content — the implementer can read files itself.

# Configuration Action Plan

Session: {session-id}
Generated: {timestamp}
Based on: Analysis + Interview

## Executive Summary

| Metric | Value |
|--------|-------|
| Total actions | 12 |
| Files to create | 3 |
| Files to modify | 5 |
| Files to delete | 0 |
| Overall risk | Low |
| Estimated backup size | 15 KB |

## Risk Distribution

| Risk | Count | Description |
|------|-------|-------------|
| 🟢 Low | 8 | Safe changes |
| 🟡 Medium | 3 | Requires backup |
| 🔴 High | 1 | Complex change |

## Backup Requirements

Files to backup before implementation:
- `~/.claude/CLAUDE.md` (1.2 KB)
- `~/.claude/settings.json` (0.5 KB)
- `~/project-a/CLAUDE.md` (2.1 KB)
- `~/project-a/.mcp.json` (0.8 KB)
- `~/project-b/CLAUDE.md` (1.8 KB)

Total backup size: ~6.4 KB

## Execution Groups

### Group 1: Independent Actions (Parallel)
- Action 1.1: Create global rules file
- Action 2.1: Create .claudeignore for project-a
- Action 2.2: Create .claudeignore for project-b

### Group 2: Depends on Group 1
- Action 1.2: Remove duplicates from project CLAUDE.md files

### Group 3: Depends on Group 2
- Action 3.1: Consolidate MCP servers

## Actions (Detailed)

### Action 1.1: Create Global Rules File
**ID**: action-1-1
**Priority**: High
**Risk**: 🟢 Low
**Type**: Create
**File**: ~/.claude/rules/code-style.md

**Rationale**:
Code style rules found in 3 projects are identical. Moving to global reduces duplication.

**Content outline** (describe it — do not inline the file):
Language preferences, then commit format. The implementer reads the source
files and writes the content itself; a full file body pasted here is what the
200-line budget above forbids.

**Validation**:
- File exists after creation
- Valid markdown syntax

**Rollback**:
- Delete file: `rm ~/.claude/rules/code-style.md`

**Dependencies**: None

---

### Action 1.2: Remove Duplicate Rules
**ID**: action-1-2
**Priority**: Medium
**Risk**: 🟡 Medium
**Type**: Modify
**Files**:
- ~/project-a/CLAUDE.md
- ~/project-b/CLAUDE.md
- ~/project-c/CLAUDE.md

**Rationale**:
After creating global rules file, these duplicates should be removed.

**Changes**:
Remove the "Code Style" section from each file.

**Validation**:
- Files still valid markdown
- Global rules file exists
- Claude Code loads without errors

**Rollback**:
- Restore from backup

**Dependencies**: action-1-1

## Post-Implementation

### Verification Steps
1. ✓ All created files exist
2. ✓ All modified files are valid
3. ✓ No remaining conflicts
4. ✓ No remaining duplicates
5. ✓ Claude Code loads configuration

### Success Criteria
- All actions completed successfully
- No rollback needed
- Verification passes

## Skipped Items

| Finding | Reason Skipped |
|---------|----------------|
| Managed config | Not applicable (single user) |
| Project-c isolation | User chose inheritance |

## Manual Follow-up Required

- Set SLACK_TOKEN environment variable after Action X
- Update CI/CD with new config paths
```

## Planning Heuristics

1. **Security first**: Always prioritize security fixes
2. **Create before modify**: New files before editing existing
3. **Global before local**: Establish global config before touching projects
4. **Simple before complex**: Low-risk actions first
5. **Validate continuously**: Each action includes validation step

## Interview Integration

If interview exists, apply preferences:
- Config style → determines consolidation strategy
- MCP strategy → determines server organization
- Modular rules → enables/disables rule file creation
- Conflict resolutions → applies specific values
- Project inheritance → determines what stays local

If no interview, use sensible defaults:
- Centralized style
- Mixed MCP servers
- Enable modular rules
- Project overrides global for conflicts
