Bridge Planning and Execution - Template System

Best-practice prompts with plan substitution

Copy buttons encapsulate best-practice prompts with {{IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN}}, {{TASK_DESCRIPTION}}, paths. Example button: 'Apply this merged plan with Claude Code Plan Mode' - inserts template + XML plan.

Template Placeholders

Best-practice templates with placeholders: {{IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN}}, {{TASK_DESCRIPTION}}, {{PROJECT_CONTEXT}}. Server-side defaults with project-specific overrides.

Drag-Drop Reordering

Visual workflow management with drag-drop reordering. Organize buttons by execution priority or workflow stage.

Terminal Integration (Stage 5)

One-click execution in persistent terminal sessions (Stage 5). Chunked sending for large XML plans.

Best-Practice Template System

Placeholder Substitution

Best-practice templates with {{PLACEHOLDER}} substitution. Context-aware processing with implementation plans from Stage 3/4.

{{IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN}} - Full merged plan XML
{{STEP_CONTENT}} - Selected step content
{{TASK_DESCRIPTION}} - Stage 1 requirements
{{PROJECT_CONTEXT}} - File paths, structure

Unified Prompt Processing

Advanced template engine injects XML plans, task descriptions, and governance constraints into pre-configured prompts.

Regex-based placeholder matching
XML plan formatting and escaping
Multi-line governance instruction support
Graceful undefined handling

Configuration & Management

Project-Specific Settings

Copy buttons stored in task settings with project-level overrides and server-side defaults.

SQLite database persistence
Server-managed default configurations
Project directory scoping
Real-time configuration updates

Visual Configuration UI

Intuitive editor with drag-drop reordering, debounced input handling, and real-time preview.

Drag handles for visual reordering
300ms debounced input processing
Read-only mode for system buttons
Customization workflow support

Stage 5 Terminal Execution

One-Click Stage 5 Execution

Copy buttons integrate with Stage 5 terminal sessions. One click = full governance-compliant workflow execution with plan context.

Automatic paste to active terminal session
Chunked sending for large XML plans
Session health monitoring
Clipboard fallback for safety

Example Button Configuration:

Label: "Parallel Claude Agents"

Template:

{{IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN}}

Now, think deeply! Read the files mentioned,
understand them and launch parallel Claude
coding agents that run at the same time...

→ One click = Full workflow execution

Technical Implementation

# Copy Button System Architecture

## 1. Configuration Storage

CopyButtonConfig[] in task settings
→ Project-specific database storage
→ Server-side default configurations
→ Real-time synchronization

## 2. Template Processing

Regex-based placeholder matching
→ Dynamic content substitution
→ Context-aware data extraction
→ Error handling for undefined values

## 3. UI Integration

Implementation plan cards
→ Content viewing modals
→ Terminal interface headers
→ Drag-drop configuration editor

## 4. Execution Flow

Button click triggers template processing
→ Placeholder substitution with plan content
→ Terminal session validation
→ Chunked content transmission

[Extensible system: Add new placeholders and templates as needed]

Real-World Use Cases

Parallel Agent Workflows with Plan Context

Example button: 'Apply this merged plan with Claude Code Plan Mode' - inserts template + {{IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN}} XML. Launches agents with governance instructions.

Button: "Parallel Claude Agents"
Saves: Complex multi-agent setup instructions

Investigation & Review

Standardized review processes for Stage 3 implementation plan results. Example button: 'Investigate Results' with thorough validation workflow.

Button: "Investigate Results"
Saves: Thorough validation workflows

Custom Team Governance Workflows

Team-specific governance constraints with {{PROJECT_CONTEXT}} and coding standards. Ensures consistent compliance.

Template: {{PROJECT_CONTEXT}}
Dynamic: Project-aware instructions

Step-by-Step Execution

Extract individual implementation steps with {{STEP_CONTENT}}. Execute step-by-step with full plan context.

Template: {{STEP_CONTENT}}
Result: Focused step execution

What Makes This Different

✗Traditional Copy-Paste

✗Manual copy-paste of plan XML
✗Inconsistent instructions across sessions
✗Forgotten governance constraints
✗Error-prone manual template edits
✗Lost best-practice workflows

✓PlanToCode Copy Buttons

✓One-click governance-compliant workflows
✓{{IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN}} substitution
✓Best-practice prompt templates
✓Context-aware XML plan injection
✓Persistent team workflows
