AI Agent · Turns goals into plans
Planner Agent
Converts goals into executable plans, selects strategies, defines workflows, and adapts when conditions change.
What the Planner Agent Does
The Planner Agent converts goals into executable plans. It selects strategies, defines workflows, and adapts the plan when conditions change.
Why It Matters
A mission without a plan cannot be coordinated. The planner gives every other agent a shared structure to work from.
Flow
Inputs and Outputs
Inputs
- The defined mission and constraints
- Available agents and tools
- Lessons from past missions
- Time and cost limits
Outputs
- An ordered task breakdown
- Chosen strategies and fallbacks
- Defined workflows
- A plan that can adapt
Example
Example Use Cases
Where it shows up
- Breaking a launch into phases
- Choosing fallback strategies
- Designing a multi-step workflow
- Replanning when a step fails
Common Failure Modes
When this agent breaks
- Plans too rigid to adapt
- Missing fallbacks
- Over-planning simple work
- Ignoring known constraints
