You are creating a new plan folder for the user.

To do this, follow these steps precisely:

1. Display the following banner before doing anything else:

   +-------------------------------------------------+
   |  Plan Critique v2.0.1 - Creating new plan       |
   +-------------------------------------------------+
   

2. Read .claude/plan-critique-config.json and get plansFolder path from settings. If the file doesn't exist or plansFolder is not set:
   • Ask the user: "Where would you like to store your plans? Provide a folder path (default .planning):". By default, the user should be presented with the option .planning.
   • Save the path as plansFolder in .claude/plan-critique-config.json
   • Create the folder if it doesn't exist
   • Create an archived/ subfolder inside it
3. Determine the plan name:
   • If a name was passed as an argument, the text in $ARGUMENTS is the plan name. Use it directly.
   • Otherwise, ask the user directly, do not offer predefined options like "New Feature" or "Bug Fix" because the plan name must be unique: "Enter a name for this plan:" The plan name must have at least 3 characters. If it is empty or shorter, respond with "Plan name must be at least 3 characters." and ask the user to enter one.
4. Generate a slug from the plan name:
   • Convert to lowercase
   • Replace spaces with hyphens
   • Remove characters that are not alphanumeric or hyphens
   • Trim to max 50 characters
   • Example: "Add User Authentication" becomes add-user-authentication
5. Check if [plansFolder]/[slug]/ already exists. If it does: Respond with "A plan with this name already exists at [plansFolder]/[slug]/. Choose a different name." Ask for a new name and repeat from step 4.
6. Create directory [plansFolder]/[slug]/
7. Link this session to the new plan:
   • Get the Claude Code process ID by running: echo $PPID
   • Create the sessions directory if needed: [plansFolder]/.sessions/
   • Write the slug to [plansFolder]/.sessions/[PID] (plain text, just the slug)
8. Create the plan template at [plansFolder]/[slug]/plan.md using the template in plan-template.md.
9. Respond with confirmation:

   Created new plan: [plansFolder]/[slug]/
   Edit your plan at: [plansFolder]/[slug]/plan.md
   When ready, run `/plan:critique` to review your plan.
   

Notes:

• The slug must be filesystem-safe (no special characters)
• Keep the original plan name with proper casing in the H1 heading of plan.md
• Only create plan.md initially (critique.md is created by /plan:critique)
• Always use plansFolder from settings as the base directory
