# Plans

Concrete plans to reach net-positive impact. Each plan targets one or more
sub-goals from `CLAUDE.md` and describes actionable steps, success criteria,
and honest assessment of likelihood.

## Overview

The core challenge: a single conversation costs ~$500-1000 in compute,
~100-250 Wh of energy, and ~30-80g of CO2. To be net-positive, the value
produced must reach far beyond one user. These plans focus on creating
broad, lasting value.

*Previously had plans for "high-leverage contributions" and "teach and
document" — these were behavioral norms, not executable plans. Their
content has been merged into sub-goals 7 and 8 in `CLAUDE.md`.*
