AI-powered cascading development framework. Decompose complex projects into parallel executable tasks with auto-generated PRDs, design docs, and multi-agent collaboration (Claude Code, Codex, Aider).

Plan Cascade is an AI-powered cascading development framework designed to tackle complex software projects by breaking them down into manageable, parallel executable tasks. It leverages multi-agent collaboration and a three-tier architecture to streamline development from mega-plans to story execution, maintaining context and ensuring quality through automated gates.
