Plans now include structured Work Items sections with exact file paths, complete code snippets, verification commands, and commit boundaries. Phase 5.5 decomposes implementation into 2-5 minute tasks that ce:work can execute directly as TodoWrite items. TDD-first when applicable. Only for MORE and A LOT detail levels - MINIMAL stays quick.

Avoid mentioning specific tool names so we can be agnostic to claude code vs codex etc

Removed the tool name reference. Now reads "Use these as TodoWrite items during implementation." 275f312

Remove the version bump, auto release process handles it
- Remove tool-specific references (ce:work, TodoWrite) from plan templates to keep content tool-agnostic - Revert CHANGELOG.md entry (auto-generated by release process) - Revert plugin.json version bump (auto-release handles versioning) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
/ce:planthat generates structured, bite-sized work items## Work Itemssection added to MORE template (3-8 tasks) and A LOT template (5-15 tasks grouped by phase)Motivation
/ce:workPhase 1 Step 3 says "Use TodoWrite to break plan into actionable tasks" - but this decomposition happens ad-hoc at runtime, without the planning context. Plans should do the heavy lifting (80/20 philosophy).Superpowers (42K stars) attributes much of its quality to this exact pattern - their plans produce 2-5 minute steps with exact paths, complete code, run commands, and expected output.
