Creating a plan
Open the New Plan page
Navigate to Plan ā New Plan in the CodeRabbit web app, or go directly to
app.coderabbit.ai/plan/new.
Describe what you want to build
Enter a description of the feature, bug fix, or change you want to implement.
Include goals, scope, and constraints. The more context you provide, the
better the plan.
Attach files (optional)
Click the paperclip icon to attach supporting documents such as PRDs, design specs,
architecture diagrams, or screenshots. Supported formats include text files,
PDFs, and images.
Select the target repository
Choose the repository CodeRabbit should analyze when generating the plan. This
ensures the plan references the correct files, patterns, and conventions.
Managing plans
Browse all plans for your organization from the plans list, where you can:- Search by title or ticket ID to find existing plans.
- View status to see whether a plan is in progress, completed, or needs review.
- Open a plan to view its full structure, refine it through chat, or hand it off to a coding agent.
Configuration
If you also use issue-tracker-based planning, you can configure auto-planning rules and issue planning toggles from the CodeRabbit web app. These settings control when Coding Plans are generated automatically from issues on GitHub, GitLab, Jira, or Linear. See the issue-based planning guides for platform-specific auto-planning configuration.Next Step
