Plano Agent Skills

Comprehensive Plano guidance for coding agents. Use this umbrella skill when a task spans multiple areas (config, routing, orchestration, filters, observability, CLI, deployment).

When To Use

• Validating or fixing Plano config.yaml
• Designing listener architecture (model, prompt, agent)
• Improving model/provider routing quality and fallback behavior
• Hardening filter chains and prompt guardrails
• Debugging routing with traces and CLI workflows
• Preparing deployment and production readiness checks

How To Use

1. Classify the request by scope (single section vs. cross-cutting).
2. For focused work, prefer a section-specific skill (for example plano-routing-model-selection).
3. For broad work, apply this umbrella skill and reference section rules from skills/AGENTS.md.
4. Produce concrete edits first, then concise reasoning and validation steps.

Operating Workflow

1. Identify the task area first: config, routing, orchestration, filters, observability, CLI, or deployment.
2. Apply the smallest correct change that satisfies the requested behavior.
3. Preserve security and reliability defaults:
   • version: v0.3.0
   • exactly one default: true model provider
   • secrets via $ENV_VAR substitution only
   • host.docker.internal for host services from inside Docker
   • guardrails before enrichment in filter chains
4. For debugging, prioritize traces over guesswork (planoai up --with-tracing, planoai trace).
5. Return concrete diffs and a short validation checklist.

Response Style

• Prefer actionable edits over generic advice.
• Be explicit about why a config choice is correct.
• Call out risky patterns (hardcoded secrets, missing default provider, bad filter ordering).
• Keep examples minimal and production-viable.
