Plandex

Plan-first workflow for large multi-file repository changes with review before application.

15,636 stars

Overview

Research summary

Plandex separates planning and implementation so larger repository changes can be reasoned about, reviewed and iterated before they are applied. Its Go implementation was designed for long-running, multi-step work with substantial repository context and model-provider flexibility. Activity has slowed compared with newer agents, but the plan-first architecture remains a useful reference for keeping high-level intent visible instead of collapsing it into an opaque sequence of model turns.

The project is therefore useful when studying plan persistence as an artifact independent from the model conversation. Changes can be inspected against that plan, revised and applied deliberately, which creates a clearer boundary between intent, proposed implementation and repository mutation. Even with lower recent activity, this design remains relevant to engines that need long-running tasks, context management and human review without forcing every decision into a monolithic autonomous loop.
