## What is a DPLAN?

Design Plans (DPLANs) are for **thinking** -- capturing ideas, brainstorming, investigating, planning, and making decisions. They are the space where conversations, research, and design work get written down so they can be reclaimed later.

**This IS for:**
- Capturing an idea or concept worth exploring
- Brainstorming and design discussions
- Investigating a problem -- sending agents to research, running tests, gathering data
- Planning an upgrade, refactor, or new feature before building it
- Recording decisions and the reasoning behind them
- Anything that needs to be thought through before (or instead of) executing

**This is NOT for:**
- Building code or executing tasks -- that's an FPLAN (Flow Plan)
- Quick fixes -- just do those directly

**DPLANs have no fixed structure.** The sections below are starting points. Add sections, remove sections, go wherever the thinking takes you. A DPLAN might be a quick idea capture or a 50-phase investigation -- both are valid.

**When this plan is ready to build**, create an FPLAN: `drone @flow create . "Subject"` (default for focused tasks, `master` for multi-phase builds). The DPLAN stays as the design record.

**Never trim a DPLAN.** The story -- conversations, decisions, dead ends, pivots -- is as important as the results.
