+Feature: Unified API Naming Conventions
+  As a developer
+  I want consistent API naming conventions across all service classes
+  So that the API is predictable and easy to learn
+
+  Background:
+    Given a CleverAgents project is initialized
+    And the project service is available
+    And the plan service is available
+
+  Scenario: ProjectService uses create_project method
+    When I create a project using create_project method
+    Then the project is successfully created
+    And the project is stored in the database
+
+  Scenario: ProjectService.create_project is the primary method
+    When I call ProjectService.create_project
+    Then it should create a new project
+    And the method should have full type annotations
+
+  Scenario: PlanService uses get_plan_by_name method
+    Given a project with a plan named "test-plan"
+    When I retrieve the plan using get_plan_by_name method
+    Then the plan is successfully retrieved
+    And the plan name matches "test-plan"
+
+  Scenario: PlanService.get_plan_by_name replaces switch_to_plan
+    When I call PlanService.get_plan_by_name with a plan name
+    Then it should return the plan with that name
+    And the method should have full type annotations
+
+  Scenario: Consistent listing methods across services
+    When I list projects using list_projects
+    And I list plans using list_plans
+    Then both methods follow the same naming pattern
+    And both methods return lists of their respective entities
+
+  Scenario: Consistent current item methods across services
+    When I get the current project using get_current_project
+    And I get the current plan using get_current_plan
+    Then both current item methods follow the same naming pattern
+    And both methods return the current entity or None
+
+  Scenario: All service methods have full type annotations
+    When I inspect all public methods in service classes
+    Then all methods should have complete type annotations
+    And no type: ignore comments should be present
+    And all methods should pass pyright type checking
