New Plan

Menu: ArTchie / Charter / New Plan
Also: New Plan button in Open Plan

Creates a CharterPlan under Assets/CharterPlans/ from a template and assigns it in Open Plan.

Wizard

Small utility window (CharterNewPlanWindow).

  • Title — defaults to Untitled plan. Becomes the asset’s title field and the file name (invalid filename characters become _). Empty title falls back to Untitled plan.
  • TemplateBlank or One-Page GDD. The last template you created with is restored next time (Charter.LastNewPlanTemplate in EditorPrefs; default Blank). Open Plan Templates does not change that pref. See Documentation/OnePageGdd.md.
  • Create — writes Assets/CharterPlans/<SafeTitle>.asset. Creates the folder if it is missing. If that file already exists, the file name gets a human suffix starting at 2 (Untitled plan (2).asset, (3), …). The plan title stays the typed title. Open Plan’s status mentions the path when the file was renamed.

Blank uses empty vision / loop / features / slice / scope / risks, three empty pillars, an empty vertical slice with 0 exit-criteria rows, milestones Prototype → Vertical Slice → Alpha → Beta → Gold.

One-Page GDD writes short fillable [prompts] into those same fields (two-line vision, unnamed pillars with decision-test prompts, loop/slice/scope/risk without duplicated field labels, two Could features, five unchecked slice exit-criteria rows). Milestones stay the default five names, all unchecked.

After write: the asset is selected, pinged in the Project window, and assigned to Open Plan’s Game Plan ObjectField so that window is already editing it.

Apply later

Templates in Open Plan applies Blank or One-Page GDD to the current assigned plan (confirm overwrite; title is kept).

After create

MoSCoW CSV is in Features. Export Markdown is enabled on the assigned plan. Completeness is N / 5 · NN%, not an A–F grade. Optional AI is gated on the brain picker.
