Quick tour

Five minutes on the demo folder: open a phase, split panes, catch a new plan, and search.

The quickest way to see Planner is the live demo on the website, which runs the real app in your browser. To run it yourself, start Planner on the demo folder from a clone (see Run from source):

node dist/cli.js --root examples/demo-docs

1. Open a phase

The sidebar lists tasks; click Planner V1 to see its phases. Click ws next to Phase 2 to make it your workspace: its plan, ELI5 and recap open side by side, one pane each.

2. Arrange the panes

• Drag the recap's tab onto the bottom edge of the ELI5 pane. Only that pane splits; the plan keeps its width.
• Drag the divider between panes to resize them.
• Click a tab and press Option + → to send it to the next pane.

Planner remembers this arrangement for Phase 2. Click ↺ next to the phase to lay it out from scratch again.

3. Catch a new plan

Write a file into a phase folder, as an agent would:

echo '# Phase 3 recap' > examples/demo-docs/active/planner-v1/plans/phase-3-settings/recap.md

A notification names the task and phase; Workspace opens it. Edit the file and the open tab reloads in place.

4. Search

Type tokenised in the search box. Planner finds it inside the Search Rewrite plan; opening the result shows the plan at that word.

5. Settle a finished task

Hover a task and click settle: its folder moves from active/ to done/, and any open tabs follow. Undo brings it back.

Next: Reading plans covers everything the panes and sidebar do.
