CodeRabbit Plan generates precise, project-aware Coding Plans you can hand off to any coding agent. Because plans are grounded in continuous codebase analysis, they reference the right files, follow existing conventions, and produce agent-ready prompts rather than generic outlines. CodeRabbit uses connected data sources, including Notion, issue trackers, design docs, and anything linked through your [Knowledge Base](/knowledge-base), to give every plan the full picture.

## Ways to work with CodeRabbit Plan

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Using web interface">
    The fastest way to get started is the [CodeRabbit web app](https://app.coderabbit.ai/plan). From there, describe what you want to build in a free-form text, select a repository, and click **Create plan**.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Using issue tracker">
    You can generate Coding Plans [directly from your issue tracker](/issues/planner). Comment `@coderabbitai plan` on any issue, or enable auto-planning to generate plans automatically when issues match your rules. Works with Jira, Linear, GitHub, and GitLab.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Review and refine the plan" icon="list-tree">
    Learn what each section of a Coding Plan contains and how to refine it. See [Plan refinement](/plan/plan-refinement).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Hand off a plan to a coding agent" icon="arrow-right-to-line">

## Key capabilities

<CardGroup cols={1}>
  <Card title="Deep codebase understanding" icon="brain" horizontal>
    CodeRabbit's Coding Plans are grounded in [deep, continuous codebase analysis](/overview/architecture) and an extensive [Knowledge Base](/knowledge-base), so plans reference the right files and follow your established patterns.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Access to issues and broader project context" icon="search" horizontal>
    CodeRabbit works with issue trackers, surfacing relevant related issues into
    the context, even when the assigned engineer isn't aware of them.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Collaborative review" icon="users" horizontal>
    Plans are visible to your entire team. Engineers, product owners, and
    stakeholders can discuss, challenge design choices, and refine plans together
    before implementation begins.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Accountability and history" icon="clipboard-clock" horizontal>
    Every plan version is preserved. You can track what was planned, when it was
    planned, and why decisions were made, providing a full audit trail across the
    lifetime of a feature.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Agent-model efficiency" icon="gauge" horizontal>
    Precise, context-rich plans let you use faster and cheaper models for the
    execution step, because the hard thinking is already done.
