When to use it

When an idea needs a clear scope, milestones, and a plan your team can discuss.

What you’ll get

A single HTML file you can open in a browser and walk through with your team.

Work through the steps

Before you start

A project idea, intended audience, constraints, and an AI tool that can create an HTML file. Use a browser to review the result.

Step 01

Clarify the project

Start with the decision you need to make. Answer the questions before moving to the plan.

Help me scope [project] for [audience]. The goal is [outcome]. Our constraints are [budget, timing, people, and tools]. Ask up to five questions that would materially change the plan. Then summarize the agreed scope, what is out of scope, and any unanswered questions. Do not invent commitments or begin implementation.

Step 02

Make the plan visible

Use the agreed scope in the same conversation. Request a downloadable file, then open it in your browser.

Using our agreed scope, create one downloadable HTML file for a team planning discussion. Include a project overview, a milestone timeline, deliverables, dependencies, risks, and unresolved decisions. Let me expand each milestone to see its tasks and acceptance checks. Mark proposed owners and dates as unconfirmed. Keep CSS and JavaScript inside the file, with no remote assets, network requests, or data collection. Make it readable on a phone and usable with a keyboard. This is a draft plan for review, not approval to carry out the work.

Step 03 · Review before use

  • Confirm scope and dependencies with the people doing the work.
  • Open the file and test each expandable milestone on desktop and phone.
  • Check that every milestone has a deliverable and a way to verify it.

If you get stuck: If the tool returns code instead of a file, ask for a downloadable .html attachment. If it cannot create files, request the same plan as a table.
