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 | +-------------------------------------------------+ ``

1. 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
• 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.

1. Generate a slug from the plan name:
2. Convert to lowercase
3. Replace spaces with hyphens
4. Remove characters that are not alphanumeric or hyphens
5. Trim to max 50 characters
6. Example: "Add User Authentication" becomes add-user-authentication
7. 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.

1. Create directory [plansFolder]/[slug]/
2. Link this session to the new plan:
3. Get the Claude Code process ID by running: echo $PPID
4. Create the sessions directory if needed: [plansFolder]/.sessions/
5. Write the slug to [plansFolder]/.sessions/[PID] (plain text, just the slug)
6. Create the plan template at [plansFolder]/[slug]/plan.md using the template in

[plan-template.md](plan-template.md).

1. 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
