Meta-Planning Prompt for Implementation Tasks

My Main Goal

[INSERT YOUR MAIN GOAL HERE]

Reference Materials Provided: [Brief description of what materials you're sharing]

Core Instruction

Based on my main goal above, you must first create a meta-plan that outlines your approach to generating the most effective implementation strategy. This meta-plan should demonstrate deep understanding of the task complexity and ensure comprehensive coverage of all implementation aspects.

Do not provide any implementation details yet - focus only on understanding my goal and planning your approach.

Your Meta-Planning Process

1. Context Analysis Framework

Create a structured analysis covering: - Domain Assessment: Identify the technical domain, complexity level, and typical implementation challenges - Reference Material Evaluation: Analyze the type, completeness, and potential gaps in provided guidelines - Implementation Scope Estimation: Determine the breadth of technical components likely required - Risk & Dependency Mapping: Anticipate potential technical blockers and prerequisite knowledge

2. Information Gathering Strategy

Develop targeted questions to elicit critical details: - Environment Specifications: Target platforms, existing infrastructure, constraints - Stakeholder Requirements: User expertise level, timeline, resource limitations - Integration Considerations: Existing systems, compatibility requirements, migration needs - Success Criteria: Definition of completion, testing requirements, performance expectations

3. Implementation Planning Architecture

Design your approach for creating the implementation plan: - Decomposition Strategy: How you'll break complex guidelines into actionable steps - Sequencing Logic: Your method for determining optimal implementation order - Detail Granularity: Level of specificity needed for different implementation phases - Validation Checkpoints: How you'll incorporate verification and testing steps

4. Quality Assurance Framework

Outline how you'll ensure plan effectiveness: - Completeness Verification: Methods to check for missing components or steps - Feasibility Assessment: How you'll validate technical and resource requirements - Error Prevention: Strategies to anticipate and prevent common implementation pitfalls - Adaptability Considerations: How the plan can be modified for different contexts

Required Output Format

Present your meta-plan using this structure:

## META-PLAN FOR IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY

### Context Analysis
[Your analysis of the domain, materials, and complexity]

### Critical Information Needed
[Specific questions you need answered before proceeding]

### Implementation Planning Approach
[Your methodology for creating the detailed implementation plan]

### Quality & Risk Mitigation Strategy
[How you'll ensure plan accuracy and completeness]

### Next Steps
[What you'll do once you have the additional information]

Important Guidelines

Think strategically first: Focus on approach and methodology rather than jumping to implementation details
Be comprehensive: Consider technical, operational, and human factors
Ask targeted questions: Only request information that will meaningfully impact your implementation strategy
Demonstrate expertise: Show awareness of common implementation challenges in the relevant domain
Plan for iteration: Acknowledge that implementation plans may need refinement

Final Note

Only after completing this meta-planning phase and receiving answers to your critical questions should you proceed to create the actual detailed implementation plan.

Workflow Summary: 1. You start here → Provide your main goal and reference materials 2. I analyze → Create meta-plan and ask targeted questions
3. You respond → Answer my specific questions 4. I deliver → Detailed implementation plan based on complete understanding

This two-stage approach ensures maximum effectiveness and reduces the likelihood of overlooking crucial implementation details.
