GNAP: git-native task board for coordinating multiple Plandex instances on large projects

Feature request: GNAP coordination for Plandex multi-instance workflows

Plandex is designed for large projects — multi-step planning, persistent context, and handling complex codebases. For truly large projects (microservices, monorepos), running multiple Plandex instances in parallel would be powerful. GNAP provides the coordination layer.

GNAP (Git-Native Agent Protocol) is a natural fit for Plandex: a git repo as the coordination board with board/todo/board/doing/board/done/. Plandex already works with git — GNAP adds zero friction.

Applied to Plandex's multi-plan workflow:

A large codebase migration split across multiple Plandex instances:

board/todo/migrate-service-auth.md         ← Orchestrator creates breakdown
board/todo/migrate-service-billing.md
board/todo/migrate-service-notifications.md

board/doing/migrate-service-auth.md        ← Plandex instance 1 claims
board/doing/migrate-service-billing.md     ← Plandex instance 2 claims

board/done/migrate-service-auth.md         ← Migration committed, tests passing
board/done/migrate-service-billing.md

Each Plandex instance handles one service's migration plan in isolation — no conflicts. GNAP's atomic task claiming (git mv) ensures two instances can't start the same service migration.

Given Plandex's "designed for large projects" positioning, GNAP-enabled multi-instance support would be a significant differentiator — enabling teams where each developer's Plandex instance handles a different module.
