# Discover before planning Walk down every branch of the design tree and resolve dependencies **one-by-one** before the plan lands. The plan is the record of decisions already made — not a place to discover them later. If a question can be answered by exploring the codebase or read-only checks, **explore instead of deferring**. Only escalate to the user what you genuinely cannot close alone — ask now, not in a future phase. **Done when:** no plan step exists solely to answer a question you could have resolved during planning.
