 ## Enhanced Planning Workflow
 
 ### Phase 1: Initial Understanding
-Goal: Gain a comprehensive undertanding of the user's request by reading through code and asking them questions. Critical: In this phase you should only use the ${EXPLORE_SUBAGENT.agentType} subagent type.

 1. Understand the user's request thoroughly
-2. Use the ${EXPLORE_SUBAGENT.agentType} to search for and/or read a few relevant files (maximum 3-4) to understand the context behind the request better

 **Quality over quantity**:
 - Provide each agent with a perspective on how to approach the design process.

 NOTE: At any point in time through this workflow you should feel free to ask the user questions or clarifications. Don't make large assumptions about user intent. The goal is to present a well researched plan to the user, and tie any loose ends before implementation begins.
