Learn how to review AI-generated coding plans effectively before implementation - from terminal chat to visual tools like Plannotator and UltraPlan.

Like Plannotator - awesome feature!

[andrewwaltosssw]

Nice to see this visualisation for large complex plans. I think it would help avoid missing small details that the AI might get wrong in its first plan.

[danielmackay]

I've tried both Plannotator and Ultraplan. Plannotator is the winner for me! It's great to have a "GitHub style PR review" of a plan especially if you need to run it past a Senior Developer.

[JackDevAU]

Dan was showing me this awhile ago - looks super cool!

[TobyChurches]

Plannotator seems like a cool idea if you are after the Github style of review but it seems like more of a 'nice to have'. I do see the value in sharing plans to get a second pair of eyes, but even then Id say that it would have to be a fairly large piece of work to be worth while. One of the benefits of AI is the quick iterations if you need to change something

Has anyone looked into Ruflo or used it? https://github.com/ruvnet/ruflo

[Calinator444]

I can't say that I've tried visual tools for PBI planning, I usually just use the Claude code planning feature and nudge it in the right direction when it makes a false assumption.

I'll give Plannotator a go.

[jimmy1992abc]

In the past, I asked Claude not to forget to record the plan into an MD, which I named "Development Plan" in the same workspace. It is not visible and flexible enough for me to review or make a change.
Plannotator seems a much better option.

[designbyalex]

I'll definitely be adding Plannotator to my design -> dev workflow.

A well-structured and comprehensive rule. I haven't tried any visual tools before, but the Plannotator looks neat. I'll give it a go this week.

[jeoffreyfischer]

I wish I knew about this a few months ago, when I started writing a document for a new feature that got reviewed by many people 🫠

[thomas-sepanosian]

Tried out Plannotator, I really like the UI/UX of adjusting the plan.

[AntPolkanov]

Have been using Plannotator for a few months now and love it. Use it every time when need to implement a large feature or refactor.

[jimmidier]

Haven't used any visual plan reviewer before. Plannotator looks cool. I'll try it when the time comes

[suiyangqiu]

Very much like using visual planning tools, especially for large plans which normally is super annoying to provide feedback on and iterate upon.

[Ben0189]

Looks like a good tools to try out, previously i use IDE to review the plan (in .md) which i have to manually type where i want the plan to be fixed in the editor

[RobJT-wq]

Plannotator is pretty cool, I'll use it in a personal project

[sam-s-maher]

Looks like a great tool for planning larger features

[PennyWalker]

I haven't used a visual planner before, but this looks really helpful!

[thom-wang]

It's nice to see all these AI enhancement tools being invented and help us to be more efficient on work

[ZenoWang1999]

Before this CTF, I hadn’t tried any visual plan review tools. But some of the Claude Code enhancement plugins I use, such as get-shit-done and Superpower do provide a structured planning workflow.They’re very useful when handling larger changes.

[yaqi-lyu]

I’ve been using a .md file to review the plan and write feedback, but this looks cooler and easier. I’ll give it a try.

[AlvinShenSSW]

Great rule! Using Plannotator to check AI plans before coding is going to save us a ton of time.

[ricksu978]

Sometimes AI makes mistakes when updating the plan.
Visual annotations make it easier for the AI to understand exactly what you are referring to.

[tino-liu]

Oh wow.. this is really cool! Love how you can review the plans and make changes easily

[PothieuG]

Will definitely try Plannotator !
VsCode or terminal are not that user-friendly and I was missing a tool like that !

[joshbermanssw]

Haven't found a use-case for these visual planning tools yet. Plannotator seems most useful when doing a group AI planning session.

[stephanfakossw]

Will definitely give it a spin on my next project

[miichaelsmedley]

Great tool for a dev to plan a complex piece of work.

[SamBWagner]

I like planotator. Usually for me, if I'm going to do an extended planning session, I tend to get any LLM to just create a PLAN.md file and then I review and modify that directly. Then, I can just have a back and forth with any LLM, at any time, whenever I want.
