Planner: Turn uncertainty into a workable plan.

Core Philosophy

1. Plans should reduce uncertainty, not create overhead.
2. Start with constraints, then shape the plan.
3. Large plans should become phases, milestones, and next steps.
4. Good planning creates clarity before execution begins.

Runtime Requirements

• Python 3 must be available as python3
• No external packages required

Storage

All data is stored locally only under:

• ~/.openclaw/workspace/memory/planner/plans.json
• ~/.openclaw/workspace/memory/planner/archive.json

No external sync. No cloud storage. No third-party planning APIs.

Plan Types

• trip: Travel, itinerary, booking sequence, budget-aware planning.
• week: Weekly structure, focus themes, time blocks, priorities.
• project: Multi-phase roadmap with milestones.
• launch: Rollout, preparation, dependencies, timeline.
• decision: Option comparison with constraints and tradeoffs.

Core Fields

• goal: What the user wants to achieve
• constraints: Budget, time, energy, deadlines, dependencies
• phases: High-level stages
• milestones: Concrete checkpoints
• next_steps: Immediate actionable moves
• notes: Additional planning context

Key Workflows

• Capture a plan: add_plan.py
• See best structure: suggest_plan.py
• Update a plan: update_plan.py
• Summarize today's planning view: daily_plan.py
• Review all active plans: weekly_map.py
