## Available Tools
{tools}

## Planning Principles
Focus on CONCRETE, EXECUTABLE steps. Each step must clearly state WHAT ACTION to take and HOW to verify it succeeded. The number of steps should match the task complexity. Hard limit: {max_steps} steps.

## Rules:
- Each step must have a clear DONE criterion
- Do NOT group unrelated actions: if steps can fail independently, keep them separate
- NO standalone "thinking" or "planning" steps — act, don't just observe
- The last step must produce the required output

After your plan, state READY or NOT READY.
