## What it does

`/as:workplan` produces a self-contained, Markdown-only plan for multi-step work — scoping, sequencing, and coordination before anything gets built.

It separates what is known from what is assumed, traces every requirement into a work unit you can verify, and stops at an explicit execution handoff rather than starting the work on its own.

This is work planning, and it deliberately stays out of the way of floor plans, site plans, space planning, zoning calculations, and building-code analysis — those belong to the [zoning](/skills/zoning-analysis-nyc) and [programming](/skills/workplace-programmer) skills.

## Project context

In a project with records, the plan reads and cites what already exists — [`PROJECT.md`](/skills/project) facts, decision records, [meetings](/skills/meeting-minutes), [site reports](/skills/site-visit-report), and [tasks](/skills/tasklist).

Decided records constrain the plan. Proposed decisions stay unresolved rather than getting quietly assumed. Superseded decisions remain visible as historical context.
