Yo @syedabdulaman173-lang — that path is a nightmare, I feel you. |

@syedabdulaman173-lang rather than trying to find the plan document after it's generated, a more direct approach is to generate a plan within the project repository itself. My company just released an entire context management framework that is basically "plan mode" on steroids and works with files within your repository. This Jekt™ context architecture is free and open, and works across tool vendors. Jekt surfaces and persists project semantics in the project repository itself: not only plans but designs, decisions, pivots, discoveries, etc. At the low level it manages plans as you were asking about in this discussion; at the top level it can even replace an entire ticket tracking system such as Jira. It provides interoperability tool conventions for semantic artifacts. Here is an example of a repository after working with Jekt: A VS Code extension is coming soon, and I'm reaching out to GitHub Copilot leaders so they can add native recognition of Jekt artifacts in GitHub Copilot itself. In the meantime you can try it out right now with the reference prompts. I'd love to get your feedback on Jekt. |

Yo @syedabdulaman173-lang — that path is a nightmare, I feel you.
Right now, the only workaround is using the Command Palette. Hit Cmd+Shift+P (Mac) or Ctrl+Shift+P (Windows), type "Open File," and then just start typing plan.md. It usually searches the filename so you don't have to paste the whole path.
But yeah, a dedicated "Open Plan" button in the chat UI is definitely a feature request they need to add. For now, just rely on the fuzzy search in the command palette to save your sanity.
