Summary

Fixes #19 — adds missing format fields to three templates and creates the implementation-plan format that was referenced but never existed.

Changes

New: formats/implementation-plan.md

Defines the output structure for implementation and refactoring plans:

  • Overview, Current State, Prerequisites
  • Phased task breakdown with TASK-IDs, dependencies, acceptance criteria, complexity, rollback
  • Dependency graph with critical path identification
  • Risk assessment table
  • Verification strategy
  • Open questions

Fixed: missing format in template frontmatter

Template Fix
review-code Added format: investigation-report (was in manifest, missing from template)
plan-implementation Added format: implementation-plan (missing everywhere)
plan-refactoring Added format: implementation-plan (missing everywhere)

Fixed: manifest updates

  • Added implementation-plan to the formats: section
  • Added format: implementation-plan to both planning template entries

Validation

tests/validate-manifest.py passes.

Fixes microsoft#19

- Create formats/implementation-plan.md defining the output structure
