limps planning

Purpose

Provide consistent guidance for selecting limps MCP tools in common planning workflows.

When to Use

• Creating or updating plans and agents
• Finding the next task or plan status
• Searching or updating documents in a plans directory

Quick Tool Selection

• Create a plan: create_plan, then create_doc for plan files
• List plans: list_plans
• List agents: list_agents
• Plan status: get_plan_status
• Next task: get_next_task
• Search docs: search_docs
• Update status: update_task_status
• Read/process docs: process_doc, process_docs
• Update plan priority/severity: update_doc (edit plan frontmatter)

Examples

Find the next task in a plan

1. list_plans → pick plan name
2. get_next_task with plan number/name

Update an agent status

1. list_agents for the plan
2. update_task_status with task ID and new status

Automate plan priority and severity

1. process_doc the plan file (e.g., plans/0030-foo/0030-foo-plan.md) to read frontmatter
2. Determine priority and severity values (low | medium | high | critical)
3. update_doc with new frontmatter fields (do not edit config.json)
4. Optional: add a brief note in plan content or decisions log describing why it was updated

Extract open features across plans

1. process_docs with pattern plans/*/*-plan.md
2. Use extractFeatures() to filter GAP

Notes

• Paths should be relative to the configured plansPath or docsPaths.
• Use process_doc(s) for structured extraction instead of manual parsing.
