# PLANU — Project Plan

## 1. Purpose

PLANU is a tool designed for AI coding agents. It helps them understand what needs to be built before they start writing code.

Plan before you build.

## 2. The Problem

AI coding agents can write code quickly, but without a clear plan and specification:

* Requirements can be misunderstood.
* Developers may need to rewrite large amounts of code.
* Unnecessary features can be built.
* Projects can become difficult to maintain.

## 3. The Solution

PLANU transforms a developer’s idea into a clear, structured plan and specification that an AI coding agent can understand and follow.

Idea → Plan → Specification → Implementation

## 4. How PLANU Works

1. The developer enters their idea.
2. PLANU identifies and organizes the requirements.
3. A detailed specification is created.
4. The plan is prepared for the AI coding agent.
5. The agent builds the software based on the specification.

## 5. Vision

PLANU aims to become the planning layer between developers and AI coding agents.

Let AI write the code.

Let PLANU help AI understand what to build and how it should be built.
