I Rewrote 16 Plans From Scratch. The Code Was Fine. The Plans Were Rotting.

My codebase was documented. Tested. Deployed. My plans were fiction. I run ConnectEngine OS as a solo founder. No team. No PM. No sprint board. Just me, Claude Code, and 16 plan documents that were supposed to tell me what to build next. Yesterday I sat down to start the next phase of work. I opened the master plan. Phase 6 and Phase MT were listed as separate items, but they were doing the same thing. Phase 3 was marked "not started" even though I shipped it last week. Two phases had dependencies on work that was already done. One had a status line from three weeks ago that was never updated. The code was accurate. AGENTS.md (my living reference file) was accurate. The rot was in the plans themselves. Plans Have No CI Code has linters, type checkers, tests, deployment pipelines. If something breaks, you know. Plans have nothing. Nobody runs plan lint before a sprint. Nobody diffs the plan against the codebase to check if what the plan describes still matches reality. So plans drift. Q
