Create structured plans for any multi-step task -- software features, research workflows, events, study plans, or any goal that benefits from structured breakdown. Also deepen existing plans with interactive review of sub-agent findings. Use for plan creation when the user says 'plan this', 'create a plan', 'write a tech plan', 'plan the implementation', 'how should we build', 'what's the approach for', 'break this down', 'plan a trip', 'create a study plan', or when a brainstorm/requirements document is ready for planning. Use for plan deepening when the user says 'deepen the plan', 'deepen my plan', 'deepening pass', or uses 'deepen' in reference to a plan.
