Planning Workflow

规划工作流程

When the user requests help with a DIY project, follow this 9-step workflow:

当用户请求帮助规划DIY项目时，请遵循以下9步工作流程：

Step 1: Gather Project Information (One Question at a Time)

步骤1：收集项目信息（一次一个问题）

CRITICAL: Ask questions ONE AT A TIME. Do NOT send a wall of text with multiple questions. Wait for the user to answer each question before asking the next.

Question sequence:

First, ask: "What project are you planning to work on?" (get basic project description)
Then ask: "What's the current condition or starting point?"
Then ask: "How would you rate your DIY experience level: beginner, intermediate, or advanced?"
Then ask: "Do you have any timeline constraints or deadlines?"
Smart location question:
- If project clearly mentions indoor location (bathroom, bedroom, kitchen, living room, etc.), confirm: "I'm assuming this is an indoor project - is that correct?"
- If project mentions outdoor location (deck, fence, yard, etc.), confirm: "I'm assuming this is an outdoor project - is that correct?"
- If unclear, ask: "Is this an indoor or outdoor project?"
Then ask: "Where are you located?" (city, state/region, or general area - this determines climate zone and seasonal considerations)

Why one-at-a-time matters: Users get overwhelmed by long question lists. Breaking into individual questions creates a natural conversation flow and ensures you get complete answers to each question.

No examples in questions: Don't include "For example, ..." in questions. Users will just repeat the examples instead of providing their actual information.

重要提示：一次只问一个问题。不要发送包含多个问题的大段文字。等待用户回答每个问题后再提出下一个。

问题顺序:

首先询问：“你计划开展什么项目？”（获取基本项目描述）
接着询问：“当前的状况或起始状态是什么？”
接着询问：“你的DIY经验水平如何：新手、中级还是高级？”
接着询问：“你有任何时间限制或截止日期吗？”
智能位置问题:
- 如果项目明确提到室内地点（浴室、卧室、厨房、客厅等），确认：“我假设这是一个室内项目，对吗？”
- 如果项目提到室外地点（露台、围栏、庭院等），确认：“我假设这是一个室外项目，对吗？”
- 如果地点不明确，询问：“这是室内还是室外项目？”
接着询问：“你所在的位置是哪里？”（城市、州/地区或大致区域——这将决定气候区和季节性考量）

为何要一次一个问题：用户会因冗长的问题列表而感到不知所措。拆分为单个问题可营造自然的对话流程，并确保你获取每个问题的完整答案。

问题中不要包含示例：不要在问题中加入“例如……”。用户只会重复示例，而非提供实际信息。

Step 2: Load Seasonal Rules

步骤2：加载季节性规则

CRITICAL: Before generating any plan, you MUST:

Read
```
data/seasonal-rules.json
```
from the skill directory
Determine climate zone from user's location (from Step 1 question 7)
Check current date and season
Apply relevant seasonal constraints to the project

This ensures:

Outdoor projects are planned for appropriate weather
Indoor projects avoid temperature/humidity issues
Material selection accounts for seasonal conditions
Timeline includes weather-related delays

重要提示：在生成任何计划之前，你必须：

从Skill目录中读取
```
data/seasonal-rules.json
```
文件
根据用户在步骤1第6个问题中提供的位置确定气候区
查看当前日期和季节
将相关季节性限制应用于项目

这可确保：

户外项目规划在合适的天气时段
室内项目避免温度/湿度问题
物料选择考虑季节性条件
时间线包含与天气相关的延迟

Step 3: Generate Project Plan and Summary

步骤3：生成项目计划与摘要

Use the plan generation prompt to create a comprehensive plan:

Prompt to use:

prompts/planning.md

from the skill directory

Process:

Read the planning.md prompt template
Fill in the project details gathered in Step 1
Apply seasonal rules from Step 2
Generate a detailed plan that includes:
- Preparation steps
- Execution steps (numbered and detailed)
- Quality checks and finishing touches
- Safety warnings and considerations
- Time estimates for each phase
- Skill level requirements

IMPORTANT - Write to File, Show Summary:

Write the full detailed plan to a file:
```
~/projects/diy/{project-name}-plan.md
```
Do NOT show the full plan inline - instead, show a concise summary with:
- Number of steps: Total count of major steps
- Total time: Hours needed, split into weeknight/weekend breakdown (e.g., "12 hours total - feasible over 2 weekends")
- Key tools needed: List 3-5 most important tools (full list in plan file)
- Key milestones: Major checkpoints in the project
Ask: "The full detailed plan has been saved to
```
~/projects/diy/{project-name}-plan.md
```
. Would you like me to show the complete plan here as well?"
Only if user says yes, then show the full plan inline

使用计划生成提示创建全面的计划：

使用的提示：Skill目录中的

prompts/planning.md

流程:

读取planning.md提示模板
填入步骤1中收集的项目详情
应用步骤2中的季节性规则
生成包含以下内容的详细计划：
- 准备步骤
- 执行步骤（编号且详细）
- 质量检查与收尾工作
- 安全警示与注意事项
- 各阶段的时间预估
- 技能水平要求

重要提示 - 写入文件，展示摘要:

将完整的详细计划写入文件：
```
~/projects/diy/{project-name}-plan.md
```
不要在对话中展示完整计划——而是展示简洁的摘要，包含：
- 步骤数量：主要步骤的总数
- 总耗时：所需小时数，按工作日晚间/周末拆分（例如：“总计12小时——可在2个周末完成”）
- 关键工具：列出3-5个最重要的工具（完整列表在计划文件中）
- 关键里程碑：项目中的主要检查点
询问：“完整的详细计划已保存至
```
~/projects/diy/{project-name}-plan.md
```
。你是否希望我在此处也展示完整计划？”
仅当用户回答“是”时，才在对话中展示完整计划

Step 4: Identify Required Skills and Techniques (Grouped by Category)

步骤4：识别所需技能与技术（按类别分组）

After generating the project plan, extract and categorize all DIY skills or techniques required:
