What is PAN Wizard?

PAN (Project Automation Navigator) is a structured workflow system that helps you build software projects with AI coding assistants. The complexity is in the system, not in your workflow. Behind the scenes: context engineering, XML prompt formatting, subagent orchestration, state management. What you see: a few commands that just work.

The system gives Claude everything it needs to do the work and verify it. Describe your idea, let the system extract everything it needs to know, and let Claude Code get to work.

PAN is the context engineering layer that makes Claude Code reliable. It breaks work into phases that fit within context limits, provides specialized agents with exactly the context they need, and maintains state across sessions.

Who This Is For

People who want to describe what they want and have it built correctly — without managing complex project management overhead.

Getting Started

npx pan-wizard@latest

The installer prompts you to choose:

1. Runtime — Claude Code, OpenCode, Gemini, Codex, Copilot CLI, or all
2. Location — Global (all projects) or local (current project only)

Verify with:

• Claude Code / Gemini: /pan:help
• OpenCode / Copilot CLI: /pan-help
• Codex: $pan-help

[!NOTE] Codex and Copilot CLI installations use skills (skills/pan-*/SKILL.md) rather than custom prompts.

Staying Updated

PAN evolves fast. Update periodically:

npx pan-wizard@latest

# Claude Code
npx pan-wizard --claude --global   # Install to ~/.claude/
npx pan-wizard --claude --local    # Install to ./.claude/

# OpenCode (open source, free models)
npx pan-wizard --opencode --global # Install to ~/.config/opencode/

# Gemini CLI
npx pan-wizard --gemini --global   # Install to ~/.gemini/

# Codex (skills-first)
npx pan-wizard --codex --global    # Install to ~/.codex/
npx pan-wizard --codex --local     # Install to ./.codex/

# GitHub Copilot CLI (skills-first)
npx pan-wizard --copilot --global  # Install to ~/.copilot/
npx pan-wizard --copilot --local   # Install to ./.github/

# All runtimes
npx pan-wizard --all --global      # Install to all directories

Use --global (-g) or --local (-l) to skip the location prompt. Use --claude, --opencode, --gemini, --codex, --copilot, or --all to skip the runtime prompt.

Clone the repository and run the installer locally:

git clone https://github.com/oharms/PanWizard.git
cd pan-wizard
node bin/install.js --claude --local

Installs to ./.claude/ for testing modifications before contributing.

npm test                # 1736 unit tests
npm run test:scenarios  # Scenario tests (install + integration)
npm run test:all        # All tests (unit + scenario)

Recommended: Skip Permissions Mode

PAN is designed for frictionless automation. Run Claude Code with:

claude --dangerously-skip-permissions

[!TIP] This is how PAN is intended to be used — stopping to approve date and git commit 50 times defeats the purpose.

If you prefer not to use that flag, add this to your project's .claude/settings.json:

{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "Bash(date:*)",
      "Bash(echo:*)",
      "Bash(cat:*)",
      "Bash(ls:*)",
      "Bash(mkdir:*)",
      "Bash(wc:*)",
      "Bash(head:*)",
      "Bash(tail:*)",
      "Bash(sort:*)",
      "Bash(grep:*)",
      "Bash(tr:*)",
      "Bash(git add:*)",
      "Bash(git commit:*)",
      "Bash(git status:*)",
      "Bash(git log:*)",
      "Bash(git diff:*)",
      "Bash(git tag:*)"
    ]
  }
}

How It Works

Already have code? Run /pan:map-codebase first. It spawns parallel agents to analyze your stack, architecture, conventions, and concerns. Then /pan:new-project knows your codebase — questions focus on what you're adding, and planning automatically loads your patterns.

1. Initialize Project

/pan:new-project

One command, one flow. The system:

1. Questions — Asks until it understands your idea completely (goals, constraints, tech preferences, edge cases)
2. Research — Spawns parallel agents to investigate the domain (optional but recommended)
3. Requirements — Extracts what's v1, v2, and out of scope
4. Roadmap — Creates phases mapped to requirements

You approve the roadmap. Now you're ready to build.

Creates: project.md, requirements.md, roadmap.md, state.md, .planning/research/

2. Discuss Phase

/pan:discuss-phase 1

This is where you shape the implementation.

Your roadmap has a sentence or two per phase. That's not enough context to build something the way you imagine it. This step captures your preferences before anything gets researched or planned.

The system analyzes the phase and identifies gray areas based on what's being built:

• Visual features → Layout, density, interactions, empty states
• APIs/CLIs → Response format, flags, error handling, verbosity
• Content systems → Structure, tone, depth, flow
• Organization tasks → Grouping criteria, naming, duplicates, exceptions

For each area you select, it asks until you're satisfied. The output — context.md — feeds directly into the next two steps:

1. Researcher reads it — Knows what patterns to investigate ("user wants card layout" → research card component libraries)
2. Planner reads it — Knows what decisions are locked ("infinite scroll decided" → plan includes scroll handling)

The deeper you go here, the more the system builds what you actually want. Skip it and you get reasonable defaults. Use it and you get your vision.

Creates: {phase_num}-context.md

3. Plan Phase

/pan:plan-phase 1

The system:

1. Researches — Investigates how to implement this phase, guided by your context.md decisions
2. Plans — Creates 2-3 atomic task plans with XML structure
3. Verifies — Checks plans against requirements, loops until they pass

Each plan is small enough to execute in a fresh context window. No degradation, no "I'll be more concise now."

Creates: {phase_num}-research.md, {phase_num}-{N}-plan.md

4. Execute Phase

/pan:exec-phase 1

The system:

1. Runs plans in waves — Parallel where possible, sequential when dependent
2. Fresh context per plan — 200k tokens purely for implementation, zero accumulated garbage
3. Commits per task — Every task gets its own atomic commit
4. Verifies against goals — Checks the codebase delivers what the phase promised

Walk away, come back to completed work with clean git history.

How Wave Execution Works:

Plans are grouped into "waves" based on dependencies. Within each wave, plans run in parallel. Waves run sequentially.

┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│  PHASE EXECUTION                                                     │
├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│                                                                      │
│  WAVE 1 (parallel)          WAVE 2 (parallel)          WAVE 3       │
│  ┌─────────┐ ┌─────────┐    ┌─────────┐ ┌─────────┐    ┌─────────┐ │

│  └─────────┘ └─────────┘    └─────────┘ └─────────┘    └─────────┘ │
│       │           │              ↑           ↑              ↑       │
│       └───────────┴──────────────┴───────────┘              │       │
│              Dependencies: Plan 03 needs Plan 01            │       │
│                          Plan 04 needs Plan 02              │       │
│                          Plan 05 needs Plans 03 + 04        │       │

└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

Why waves matter:

• Independent plans → Same wave → Run in parallel
• Dependent plans → Later wave → Wait for dependencies
• File conflicts → Sequential plans or same plan

This is why "vertical slices" (Plan 01: User feature end-to-end) parallelize better than "horizontal layers" (Plan 01: All models, Plan 02: All APIs).

Creates: {phase_num}-{N}-summary.md, {phase_num}-verification.md

5. Verify Work

/pan:verify-phase 1

This is where you confirm it actually works.

Automated verification checks that code exists and tests pass. But does the feature work the way you expected? This is your chance to use it.

The system:

1. Extracts testable deliverables — What you should be able to do now
2. Walks you through one at a time — "Can you log in with email?" Yes/no, or describe what's wrong
3. Diagnoses failures automatically — Spawns debug agents to find root causes
4. Creates verified fix plans — Ready for immediate re-execution

If everything passes, you move on. If something's broken, you don't manually debug — you just run /pan:exec-phase again with the fix plans it created.

Creates: {phase_num}-uat.md, fix plans if issues found

6. Repeat → Complete → Next Milestone

/pan:discuss-phase 2
/pan:plan-phase 2
/pan:exec-phase 2
/pan:verify-phase 2
...
/pan:milestone-done
/pan:milestone-new

Loop discuss → plan → execute → verify until milestone complete.

Each phase gets your input (discuss), proper research (plan), clean execution (execute), and human verification (verify). Context stays fresh. Quality stays high.

When all phases are done, /pan:milestone-done archives the milestone and tags the release.

Then /pan:milestone-new starts the next version — same flow as new-project but for your existing codebase. You describe what you want to build next, the system researches the domain, you scope requirements, and it creates a fresh roadmap. Each milestone is a clean cycle: define → build → ship.

Quick Mode

/pan:quick

For ad-hoc tasks that don't need full planning.

Quick mode gives you PAN guarantees (atomic commits, state tracking) with a faster path:

• Same agents — Planner + executor, same quality
• Skips optional steps — No research, no plan checker, no verifier
• Separate tracking — Lives in .planning/quick/, not phases

Use for: bug fixes, small features, config changes, one-off tasks.

/pan:quick
> What do you want to do? "Add dark mode toggle to settings"

Creates: .planning/quick/001-add-dark-mode-toggle/plan.md, summary.md

Why It Works

Context Engineering

Claude Code is incredibly powerful if you give it the context it needs. Most people don't.

PAN handles it for you:

| File | What it does | |------|--------------| | project.md | Project vision, always loaded | | research/ | Ecosystem knowledge (stack, features, architecture, pitfalls) | | requirements.md | Scoped v1/v2 requirements with phase traceability | | roadmap.md | Where you're going, what's done | | state.md | Decisions, blockers, position — memory across sessions | | plan.md | Atomic task with XML structure, verification steps | | summary.md | What happened, what changed, committed to history | | standards.md | Selected industry standards (OWASP, WCAG, NIST, etc.) — advisory checklists for agents | | todos/ | Captured ideas and tasks for later work |

Size limits based on where Claude's quality degrades. Stay under, get consistent excellence.

XML Prompt Formatting

Every plan is structured XML optimized for Claude:

<task type="auto">
  <name>Create login endpoint</name>
  <files>src/app/api/auth/login/route.ts</files>
  <action>
    Use jose for JWT (not jsonwebtoken - CommonJS issues).
    Validate credentials against users table.
    Return httpOnly cookie on success.
  </action>
  <verify>curl -X POST localhost:3000/api/auth/login returns 200 + Set-Cookie</verify>
  <done>Valid credentials return cookie, invalid return 401</done>
</task>

Precise instructions. No guessing. Verification built in.

Multi-Agent Orchestration

Every stage uses the same pattern: a thin orchestrator spawns specialized agents, collects results, and routes to the next step.

| Stage | Orchestrator does | Agents do | |-------|------------------|-----------| | Research | Coordinates, presents findings | 4 parallel researchers investigate stack, features, architecture, pitfalls | | Planning | Validates, manages iteration | Planner creates plans, checker verifies, loop until pass | | Execution | Groups into waves, tracks progress | Executors implement in parallel, each with fresh 200k context | | Verification | Presents results, routes next | Verifier checks codebase against goals, debuggers diagnose failures |

The orchestrator never does heavy lifting. It spawns agents, waits, integrates results.

The result: You can run an entire phase — deep research, multiple plans created and verified, thousands of lines of code written across parallel executors, automated verification against goals — and your main context window stays at 30-40%. The work happens in fresh subagent contexts. Your session stays fast and responsive.

Atomic Git Commits

Each task gets its own commit immediately after completion:

abc123f docs(08-02): complete user registration plan
def456g feat(08-02): add email confirmation flow
hij789k feat(08-02): implement password hashing
lmn012o feat(08-02): create registration endpoint

[!NOTE] Benefits: Git bisect finds exact failing task. Each task independently revertable. Clear history for Claude in future sessions. Better observability in AI-automated workflow.

Every commit is surgical, traceable, and meaningful.

Modular by Design

• Add phases to current milestone
• Insert urgent work between phases
• Complete milestones and start fresh
• Adjust plans without rebuilding everything

You're never locked in. The system adapts.

How PAN Compares

| | PAN Wizard | Cursor / Windsurf | Aider / Cline | GitHub Copilot | |---|---|---|---|---| | Context rot prevention | Phase-scoped fresh 200K windows | No — context degrades over time | No (Cline: condensing) | No | | Multi-agent | 12 specialized agents, parallel waves | Up to 8 parallel (Cursor 2.0) | Single agent | Specialized sub-agents | | Plan → Verify loop | Research → plan → verify with iteration | Agent generates plan | Plan mode (Cline) | Plan step | | Post-execution verification | Auto verifier + human UAT | Iterative error-fix | Manual test runs | Auto-fix loop | | Session persistence | state.md + pause/resume + handoff | Notepad / Memories | None / Task history | None | | Runtime support | Claude Code, OpenCode, Gemini CLI, Codex, Copilot CLI | IDE-locked | Terminal / VS Code | VS Code + CLI | | Zero dependencies | Yes (Node builtins only) | No (Electron) | No (Python / Node) | No |

PAN is not a replacement for your IDE or AI agent — it's the orchestration layer that handles everything around them: breaking work into context-safe chunks, researching before planning, verifying after execution, and maintaining state across sessions.

Configuration

PAN stores project settings in .planning/config.json. Configure during /pan:new-project or update later with /pan:settings. For the full config schema, workflow toggles, git branching options, and per-agent model breakdown, see the User Guide.

Core Settings

| Setting | Options | Default | What it controls | |---------|---------|---------|------------------| | mode | yolo, interactive | interactive | Auto-approve vs confirm at each step | | depth | quick, standard, comprehensive | standard | Planning thoroughness (phases × plans) |

Model Profiles

Control which Claude model each agent uses. Balance quality vs token spend.

| Profile | Planning | Execution | Verification | |---------|----------|-----------|--------------| | quality | Opus | Opus | Sonnet | | balanced (default) | Opus | Sonnet | Sonnet | | budget | Sonnet | Sonnet | Haiku |

Simplified view — actual model assignment varies by agent role. See User Guide for the full per-agent breakdown.

Switch profiles:

/pan:profile budget

Or configure via /pan:settings.

Workflow Agents

These spawn additional agents during planning/execution. They improve quality but add tokens and time.

| Setting | Default | What it does | |---------|---------|--------------| | workflow.research | true | Researches domain before planning each phase | | workflow.plan_check | true | Verifies plans achieve phase goals before execution | | workflow.verifier | true | Confirms must-haves were delivered after execution | | workflow.auto_advance | false | Auto-chain discuss → plan → execute without stopping | | workflow.nyquist_validation | true | Map test coverage during planning (Nyquist layer) | | workflow.standards_health | true | Include standards compliance in health reports |

Use /pan:settings to toggle these, or override per-invocation:

• /pan:plan-phase --skip-research
• /pan:plan-phase --skip-verify

Execution

| Setting | Default | What it controls | |---------|---------|------------------| | parallelization.enabled | true | Run independent plans simultaneously | | planning.commit_docs | true | Track .planning/ in git |

Git Branching

Control how PAN handles branches during execution.

| Setting | Options | Default | What it does | |---------|---------|---------|--------------| | git.branching_strategy | none, phase, milestone | none | Branch creation strategy | | git.phase_branch_template | string | pan/phase-{phase}-{slug} | Template for phase branches | | git.milestone_branch_template | string | pan/{milestone}-{slug} | Template for milestone branches |

Strategies:

• none — Commits to current branch (default PAN behavior)
• phase — Creates a branch per phase, merges at phase completion
• milestone — Creates one branch for entire milestone, merges at completion

At milestone completion, PAN Wizard offers squash merge (recommended) or merge with history.

Security

Protecting Sensitive Files

PAN's codebase mapping and analysis commands read files to understand your project. Protect files containing secrets by adding them to Claude Code's deny list:

1. Open Claude Code settings (.claude/settings.json or global)
2. Add sensitive file patterns to the deny list:

{
  "permissions": {
    "deny": [
      "Read(.env)",
      "Read(.env.*)",
      "Read(**/secrets/*)",
      "Read(**/*credential*)",
      "Read(**/*.pem)",
      "Read(**/*.key)"
    ]
  }
}

This prevents Claude from reading these files entirely, regardless of what commands you run.

[!IMPORTANT] PAN includes built-in protections against committing secrets, but defense-in-depth is best practice. Deny read access to sensitive files as a first line of defense.

Troubleshooting

Commands not found after install?

• Restart your runtime to reload commands/skills
• Verify files exist in ~/.claude/commands/pan/ (global) or ./.claude/commands/pan/ (local)
• For Codex, verify skills exist in ~/.codex/skills/pan-*/SKILL.md (global) or ./.codex/skills/pan-*/SKILL.md (local)
• For Copilot CLI, verify skills exist in ~/.copilot/skills/pan-*/SKILL.md (global) or ./.github/skills/pan-*/SKILL.md (local)

Commands not working as expected?

• Run /pan:help to verify installation
• Re-run npx pan-wizard to reinstall

Updating to the latest version?

npx pan-wizard@latest

Using Docker or containerized environments?

If file reads fail with tilde paths (~/.claude/...), set CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR before installing:

CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR=/home/youruser/.claude npx pan-wizard --global

This ensures absolute paths are used instead of ~ which may not expand correctly in containers.

Uninstalling

To remove PAN completely:

# Global installs
npx pan-wizard --claude --global --uninstall
npx pan-wizard --opencode --global --uninstall
npx pan-wizard --gemini --global --uninstall
npx pan-wizard --codex --global --uninstall
npx pan-wizard --copilot --global --uninstall

# Local installs (current project)
npx pan-wizard --claude --local --uninstall
npx pan-wizard --opencode --local --uninstall
npx pan-wizard --gemini --local --uninstall
npx pan-wizard --codex --local --uninstall
npx pan-wizard --copilot --local --uninstall

This removes all PAN commands, agents, hooks, and settings while preserving your other configurations.
