WIP plan layout (๐Ÿ‘€ top summary)

Plans with effort tracking follow a ๐Ÿ‘€ scan-first order โ€” key progress at the top. Do not repeat the Fibonacci scale table in the plan โ€” watermark to the plan-effort-estimate skill instead.

Document order

# Plan title

Sub-plan / Status / Owner / Related plans

## ๐Ÿ‘€ {percent}% complete     โ† ๐Ÿ‘€ headline (script: --markdown-top)
{effort ยท steps ยท remaining}
Phase rollups: โ€ฆ
[Effort breakdown โ†“](#effort-breakdown) ยท {effort.json} ยท scale watermark

## Overview / Goal              โ† what is this?
## Why now / Sequencing         โ† why are we doing it?
โ€ฆ plan body โ€ฆ
## Risks / Open questions / Next actions

## Effort breakdown             โ† near bottom (script: --markdown-breakdown)
{watermark to skill + effort.json}
{phase step tables}
{phase rollup table}

## References                   โ† optional; after effort breakdown is OK

What goes where

Section Content Source
๐Ÿ‘€ top summary Percent, effort done/total, steps done/total, remaining, anchor link summarize-effort.mjs --markdown-top
Plan body Goals, architecture, phases, decisions, risks Human-authored
Effort breakdown Step tables with Done / Left columns summarize-effort.mjs --markdown-breakdown
Scale Never inline โ€” link to references/scale.md via skill watermark Skill only

Watermark (copy verbatim pattern)

Top (short):

[Effort breakdown โ†“](#effort-breakdown) ยท [`plan.effort.json`](./plan.effort.json) ยท scale: HoEN library **plan-effort-estimate** skill

Breakdown header (one line, italic):

_Sourced from [`plan.effort.json`](./plan.effort.json). Fibonacci scale: HoEN library **plan-effort-estimate** skill (`hoen-library` โ†’ `library/skills/plan-effort-estimate/` โ†’ `references/scale.md`). Re-run `summarize-effort.mjs --markdown-breakdown` after updates._

Refresh workflow

  1. Edit *.effort.json beside the plan.
  2. Run --markdown-top โ†’ paste over the top ## ๐Ÿ‘€ {percent}% complete block.
  3. Run --markdown-breakdown โ†’ paste over ## Effort breakdown section.
  4. Do not hand-calculate totals.
