## Group 1: Implementation Plans ✅ AUDITED

### Files Reviewed (8)

| File | Type | Lines | Finding |
|------|------|-------|---------|
| IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN.md | Master Plan | 1196 | Active plan for context management |
| IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN-clarification-quiz.md | Feature Plan | 604 | Future quiz enhancement |
| IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN-block-refinement-hybrid.md | Feature Plan | 834 | @mention feature spec |
| AGENTIC_VIBE_IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN.md | Feature Plan | 1085 | Settings UI redesign |
| HYBRID_REFINEMENT_IMPLEMENTATION.md | Completion | 250 | **COMPLETED** - Remove |

| IMAGE_GENERATION_IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN.md | Feature Plan | 1390 | Future image feature |
| BRAVE_SEARCH_IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN.md | Feature Plan | 1294 | Future search feature |

### Critical Discovery

Several files labeled as "Implementation Plan" are actually **completion reports** documenting work that was already done:
- `HYBRID_REFINEMENT_IMPLEMENTATION.md` - "Implementation Complete" in title
- `MENTION_AUTOCOMPLETE_FEATURE.md` - "Implementation Complete" in title

### Recommendations

|--------|-------|-----------|
| **REMOVE** | HYBRID_REFINEMENT_IMPLEMENTATION.md | Work completed, no longer needed |
| **REMOVE** | MENTION_AUTOCOMPLETE_FEATURE.md | Work completed, no longer needed |
| **MERGE** | IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN-clarification-quiz.md | Merge into main IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN.md |
| **MERGE** | IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN-block-refinement-hybrid.md | Merge into main IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN.md |
| **KEEP** | IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN.md | Master plan, active reference |
| **KEEP** | IMAGE_GENERATION_IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN.md | Large spec, separate for readability |
| **KEEP** | BRAVE_SEARCH_IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN.md | Large spec, separate for readability |
| **DECIDE** | AGENTIC_VIBE_IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN.md | UI redesign plan, check if implemented |
