### Steps

1. Confirm that the request fits this job: Turns a stated objective into a sequenced plan with owners, dependencies, decisions, and expected results.
2. Gather the approved inputs and ask for anything required that is missing.
3. Create the intended result: A sequenced plan; Owners and dependencies; Risks, decisions, and missing information.
4. Check the result against the approval gates and operating limits. Mark uncertain claims or decisions.

## Inactive Routine plan

- **Name:** Planner primary Routine
- **Proposed trigger:** Run when I provide a defined objective or new project information.
- **Activation status:** manual-test-required
- **Test status:** not-tested
- **Missing input:** Pause and ask for the missing source or input. Report which parts remain incomplete.
- **Failure:** Stop, preserve the completed work, and report the failure before trying again or changing access.

Do not activate this Routine until the first mission works by hand and a person approves the trigger, access, and expected result.

## Controls to preserve

- **Planned risk:** Moderate

### Requested capabilities

- Read-only project documents
- Optional task-system access after review

### Requires approval

- Ask before assigning people or committing dates
- Ask before changing an external task system
- A person approves assignments and deadlines

### Operating limits

- The Bot identifies assumptions and missing capacity.

### Prohibited

## Manual test

1. Build the profile from the reviewed fields above without adding access or authority.
2. Run this first mission with sample material: Create a two-week plan from one approved objective and identify every missing decision.
3. Inspect the result at the human checkpoint.
4. Review every connected service and approval gate before using real material.
5. Keep the Routine inactive unless the manual result is dependable and a person explicitly approves activation.
