The workspace.plan command provides a complete plan lifecycle system that transforms vague goals into trackable, verifiable work with database persistence and user collaboration features. Unlike simple to-do lists, workspace.plan includes verification gates that ensure quality at each step, gap recovery when things don’t work as expected, and inline commenting for real-time collaboration with Vex. This section explains what workspace.plan does, when to use simple versus rich mode, and how the task lifecycle ensures nothing ships broken.
