# Playbook Usage
`pragmatic-engineer/playbook` is a Claude Code plugin: 13 slash commands under
`/playbook:*` plus supporting skills and hooks. Its primary flow is a four-stage
planning pipeline, `/playbook:brainstorm` then `/playbook:scope` or
`/playbook:adr` then `/playbook:implement`, that takes a raw idea through a
verified plan to delivered code. Some pipeline commands run the moment the
intent matches, no confirmation asked; others only offer in one line and wait
for a yes before doing anything (see Trigger phrases, below).

| `/playbook:scope` | Interview-driven planning that turns a settled direction into a verified implementation plan, its Work Units grouped into PR-sized Segments. | The direction is settled and the work needs a concrete plan to hand to `/playbook:implement`. |
| `/playbook:adr` | Records a hard-to-reverse architectural decision as a fact-checked ADR, with an optional execution blueprint, saved to `docs/adr/`. | Choosing between named alternatives, a decision that is expensive to undo, or a request to document the reasoning behind a choice. |
| `/playbook:implement` | Executes a
