jparkerweb b78b3cd6a3 Document Pathfinder and community feedback across the contributor docs
Moves the README's deep material into .readme/ (walkthrough, autonomous
loop, status line, metrics, test bot) and brings AGENTS.md, the .agents-docs
set and QUICK-REFERENCE.md in line with Step 0 and the metrics ingestion
flow.

AGENTS.md

This file provides guidance to AI coding agents like Claude Code (claude.ai/code), Cursor AI, Codex, GitHub Copilot, Devin, Zed, and other AI coding assistants when working with code in this repository.

Project Overview

Plan2Code is a structured 4-step workflow methodology for AI-assisted software development. It provides prompt templates that can be installed globally or per-project for various AI coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Continue, Windsurf, Codeium, Devin, Zed).

How to Use This File

This file is an index — each section below contains a brief summary and a link to a detail file in .agents-docs/. Read only the sections relevant to your current task. Full details (commands, tables, file lists) are in the linked files. The sections "Git Commit Messages" and "Project Overview" are fully inline here.

Architecture

High-level directory structure, key files, workflow prompt inventory, and file naming conventions.

Details: Architecture

Plan2Code Loop

Autonomous CLI tool (plan2code-loop/) that implements specs by looping through tasks. Covers loop architecture, modes (one-task vs one-phase), completion markers, and key source files.

Details: Plan2Code Loop

Plan2Code Metrics

Recursive self-improvement toolchain (plan2code-metrics/) for collecting run metrics, aggregating by prompt generation, diagnosing weak steps, and proposing prompt edits.

Details: Plan2Code Metrics

Plan2Code Status Line (Claude CLI)

Optional CLI status bar (src/statusline-claude/) for Claude Code. Displays model, project, branch, context usage, usage stats (rate limits or token counts), git diff stats, and duration. Reads data directly from Claude Code's stdin JSON — no API calls, no auth, no background processes. Included in Install All + dev tools (A); also available via install.js Custom → S (opt-in).

Details: Architecture (see Status Line section)

Development Commands

Build commands, installer menu options, how the installer generates platform-specific files, platform format table, and how to edit workflow prompts.

Details: Development Commands

Code Style & Gotchas

Language/toolchain conventions for install.js vs TypeScript packages, and pitfalls to avoid (version sync, .gitignore pre-flight, character limits, User Feedback table format).

Details: Code Style & Gotchas

Mascot

The project has a mascot called "Planny" — an ASCII art robot that appears in installer output and workflow prompts. Mascot variants are defined in the MASCOT constant in install.js and appear in workflow markdown files.
