Note: Use the current year when dating plans and searching for recent documentation.
Transform feature descriptions into well-structured plan files. Research agents persist outputs to disk to avoid context exhaustion.
All research outputs are retained for traceability and learning. Research is namespaced by plan stem. Prior research is NEVER deleted.
<feature_description> #$ARGUMENTS </feature_description>
If the feature description above is empty, use AskUserQuestion: "What would you like to plan? Please describe the feature, bug fix, or improvement you have in mind."
Do not proceed until you have a clear feature description from the user.
Before brainstorm lookup or idea refinement, check if a plan already exists for this feature:
ls -la docs/plans/*.md 2>/dev/null | head -20
Scan filenames and (if ambiguous) YAML frontmatter titles for semantic overlap with the feature description. Ignore files in docs/plans/archive/.
If a matching plan exists:
Use AskUserQuestion:
"Found an existing plan that matches this feature: [filename] ([status from frontmatter, e.g. 'active', 'completed']). What would you like to do?"
docs/plans/archive/ and create a fresh plan/do:deepen-plan instead — Enhance the existing plan with parallel research agentsmkdir -p docs/plans/archive && mv <existing-plan> docs/plans/archive/
# Clear stale research — tied to the archived plan, would confuse new research
rm -rf $WORKFLOWS_ROOT/plan-research/<plan-stem>/
/do:deepen-plan to enhance the existing plan." Do not proceed further.If no matching plan exists: Proceed to Step 0.
Check for brainstorm output first:
ls -la docs/brainstorms/*.md 2>/dev/null | head -10
Relevance criteria: A brainstorm is relevant if the topic (from filename or YAML frontmatter) semantically matches the feature description and was created within the last 14 days.
If multiple brainstorms could match: Use AskUserQuestion to ask which brainstorm to use, or whether to proceed without one.
If a relevant brainstorm exists:
(see brainstorm: docs/brainstorms/<filename>). Do not paraphrase decisions in a way that loses their original context — link back to the source.If no brainstorm found, run idea refinement:
Use AskUserQuestion tool to ask questions one at a time:
Gather research signals: Note user familiarity, topic risk, uncertainty level.
Before any dispatches, initialize stats capture infrastructure:
bash ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../scripts/init-values.sh plan <plan-stem>
Read the output. Track the values PLUGIN_ROOT, MAIN_ROOT, WORKFLOWS_ROOT, RUN_ID, DATE, STATS_FILE, CACHED_MODEL (and NOTE if emitted) for use in subsequent steps. If init-values.sh fails or any value is empty, warn the user and stop.
All .workflows/ paths in this skill use $WORKFLOWS_ROOT (the main repo root's .workflows/ directory), NOT relative .workflows/. This ensures artifacts survive worktree lifecycle transitions and are shared across sessions.
Read stats_capture from compound-workflows.local.md. If stats_capture is false, skip all stats capture for this run. If missing or any other value, proceed with capture.
Use the CACHED_MODEL value from init-values.sh output as the default model for inherit-model agents. Use the STATS_FILE value from init-values.sh output. Initialize a dispatch counter at 0.
If stats_capture ≠ false in compound-workflows.local.md: after each Task/Agent completion, extract total_tokens, tool_uses, and duration_ms values from the <usage> notification and format as a named-field string "total_tokens: N, tool_uses: N, duration_ms: N". Pass this as the 9th argument to capture-stats.sh. If <usage> is absent, pass "null" as the 9th argument. Run: bash $PLUGIN_ROOT/scripts/capture-stats.sh "$STATS_FILE" plan <agent> <step> <model> <stem> null $RUN_ID "<usage-string-or-null>". See $PLUGIN_ROOT/resources/stats-capture-schema.md for field derivation rules. Increment the dispatch counter for each capture call.
Model resolution per dispatch: Use sonnet for agents with model: sonnet in their YAML frontmatter or an explicit model: sonnet dispatch parameter. Use CACHED_MODEL for inherit-model agents. For red-team-relay dispatches with model: sonnet, record sonnet.
Step field: Use the agent role name as the step value. For verify-only re-dispatches (Phase 6.7), use "<agent>-verify" suffixes. For re-check dispatches (Phase 6.9), use "<agent>-recheck" suffixes. For red team MINOR triage, use "red-team-minor-triage".
After all dispatches complete, validate entry count matches completed dispatch count:
bash $PLUGIN_ROOT/scripts/validate-stats.sh "$STATS_FILE" <DISPATCH_COUNT>
If validate-stats.sh reports a mismatch, warn with the names of missing agents. Do not fail the command.
Derive a plan stem from the feature description (e.g., api-rate-limiting or user-dashboard-reporting).
Create a working directory namespaced to this plan:
mkdir -p $WORKFLOWS_ROOT/plan-research/<plan-stem>/agents

Do NOT delete research outputs. The research directory at $WORKFLOWS_ROOT/plan-research/<plan-stem>/ is retained for traceability and learning. Future sessions, deepen-plan runs, and work execution can reference the original research that informed the plan.
Re-read the brainstorm document and verify:
origin: frontmatter field points to the brainstorm fileIf anything was dropped, add it to the plan before proceeding.
If the plan has an Open Questions section, resolve each item via AskUserQuestion:
The goal is zero untriaged items at handoff. Every question must be explicitly resolved, deferred by the user, or removed. Nothing should remain open by accident — if it's in the plan, the user has seen it and made a call. Deferred items are fine when the user consciously chooses to defer, but flag them clearly so /do:work knows what's unresolved.
Run plan readiness checks and aggregate findings to verify the plan is work-ready. The command dispatches all checks directly (flat dispatch — no nested agent dispatch).
Dispatch:
## Plan Readiness heading. Read flat keys (plan_readiness_skip_checks, plan_readiness_provenance_expiry_days, plan_readiness_verification_source_policy) and construct the parameter objects to pass to agents.

Skip consolidator and re-verify. Show: "Plan readiness check: no issues found."
If reviewer fails:
Warn: "Readiness check failed — consider running /do:deepen-plan before starting work." Proceed to Phase 7.
After the readiness check, challenge the plan with three different model providers in parallel. The research and review agents are all Claude-based and share similar training biases — different models catch blind spots they'd collectively miss. Using three providers maximizes coverage.
AskUserQuestion: "Run a red team challenge on this plan? Three different AI models will challenge the reasoning. (~5-6 min when clean, ~8-12 min if findings need triage)"
If the user declines, skip to Phase 7.
If Phase 6.7 readiness check failed: Still offer the gate, but add context: "Note: readiness check was incomplete. Red team reviews plan reasoning, not structural quality."
Before launching red team, capture the plan file hash for later comparison:
shasum -a 256 <plan-path>
Read the first field of the output as the plan hash. Track this value as PLAN_HASH_BEFORE.
Launch all three providers in parallel. Each reviews independently — no provider reads another's critique. This maximizes diversity of perspective (reading prior critiques anchors models and reduces independent insight). Deduplication happens at triage.
Runtime detection: For Gemini and OpenAI providers, detect which dispatch method is available. Check once per session; if multiple options exist for a provider, ask the user which they prefer (e.g., clink gemini for direct file access, or pal chat with a specific model like gemini-3.1-pro-preview).

Execution: Launch all three as background Agents in a single message. Wait for all to complete before proceeding to Step 6.8.3.
DO NOT call TaskOutput to retrieve red team results. Monitor completion by polling for output files:
ls $WORKFLOWS_ROOT/plan-research/<plan-stem>/red-team--*.md 2>/dev/null
When all expected red team files exist (up to 3), proceed to Step 6.8.3. If a task-notification arrives, note it but check for the output file rather than processing the notification content.
When each background Agent completion notification arrives, capture stats: extract total_tokens, tool_uses, and duration_ms values from the <usage> notification and run bash capture-stats.sh ... "<usage-string>" for each completed provider. If <usage> is absent, pass "null" as the 9th argument:
red-team-relay step="red-team-relay-gemini" model=sonnetred-team-relay step="red-team-relay-openai" model=sonnetgeneral-purpose step="red-team-opus" model=cached (inherit agent)
Increment dispatch counter for each.Provider failure fallback chain:
If PAL MCP is not available: Run only the Claude Opus Agent subagent (Provider 3 above). The red team will have a single perspective instead of three, but this is an acceptable fallback.
Timeout: Set a 5-minute timeout per provider agent. If a provider hasn't produced output after 5 minutes, proceed with whatever providers completed. Log any timeouts in the recommendation log. If all providers time out, treat as "red team failed" and proceed to Phase 7 with red team status "failed." For timed-out providers, call capture-stats.sh --timeout with the appropriate agent/step values. Increment dispatch counter for each.
Read all red team files from disk. Deduplicate findings across providers — if multiple models flag the same issue, note it once with the strongest severity rating.
For each CRITICAL or SERIOUS item, present to the user via AskUserQuestion:
"[Challenge summary — note which provider(s) flagged it]. How should we handle this?"
Apply the user's decision to the plan file. Include the user's stated reasoning — not just "disagreed" but why (e.g., "Disagreed: user noted the plan already handles this via the retry middleware in Phase 3"). The rationale is more valuable than the verdict — it prevents future sessions from relitigating settled decisions.
Provenance pointers: [red-team--<provider>, see $WORKFLOWS_ROOT/plan-research/<plan-stem>/red-team--<provider>.md]. For findings flagged by multiple providers, list all provider names with one path (e.g., [red-team--gemini, red-team--opus, see $WORKFLOWS_ROOT/plan-research/<plan-stem>/red-team--gemini.md]).
Track deferred severity counts separately as "red team deferred" (distinct from "readiness deferred"). "Deferred" = unresolved for decision tree purposes. "Valid" and "Disagree" are both resolved (user took action). "Defer" leaves the finding as an open risk.
After all CRITICAL and SERIOUS items are resolved, check for MINOR findings across all red team critiques.
If no MINOR findings exist, skip to Step 6.8.6.
Step 3a: Dispatch MINOR categorization subagent.
Agent(subagent_type: "general-purpose", prompt: "
You are a MINOR finding triage agent reviewing red team findings for a plan. Your job is to categorize each MINOR finding and propose fixes where possible.
## Source Files
Read all red team files from: $WORKFLOWS_ROOT/plan-research/<plan-stem>/
- red-team--gemini.md
- red-team--openai.md
- red-team--opus.md
(Read whichever red team files exist — some providers may have failed.)
Read the plan at: <plan_path>
## Categorization
Deduplicate MINOR findings across providers — if multiple models flag the same issue, note it once with provider attribution. For each unique MINOR finding, categorize it into one of three categories:
### Category 1: Fixable Now
The finding suggests a concrete edit that meets all three criteria:
1. **Unambiguous** — only one reasonable fix exists
2. **Low effort** — a one-line or few-line edit, not a structural change
3. **Low risk** — safe to change without ripple effects; no user decisions or reasoning involved
For each fixable item, provide BOTH:
- `old_string`: the text currently in the plan to replace
- `new_string`: the corrected text
### Category 2: Needs Manual Review
Valid finding but fails at least one fixability criterion. Note which criterion fails and which provider(s) flagged it.
### Category 3: No Action Needed
Observation with no concrete edit implied. Note why (e.g., 'already addressed in Phase 3', 'cosmetic preference not a deficiency', 'out of scope for this plan').
## Conflict Detection
If two fixable items propose conflicting edits to the same section, re-categorize both as 'needs manual review' with the conflict noted.
## Output Format
Write your categorization to: $WORKFLOWS_ROOT/plan-research/<plan-stem>/minor-triage-redteam.md
Use this structure (numbers are sequential across all categories):

=== OUTPUT INSTRUCTIONS (MANDATORY) ===
Write your COMPLETE categorization to: $WORKFLOWS_ROOT/plan-research/<plan-stem>/minor-triage-redteam.md
After writing the file, return ONLY a 2-3 sentence summary.
DO NOT return your full analysis in your response. The file IS the output.
")
After the foreground Agent response, capture stats: extract total_tokens, tool_uses, and duration_ms values from the <usage> notification and run bash capture-stats.sh ... "<usage-string>" with agent=general-purpose step="red-team-minor-triage" model=cached (inherit agent). If <usage> is absent, pass "null" as the 9th argument. Increment dispatch counter.
Step 3b: Present three-category triage to user. Read the categorization file from $WORKFLOWS_ROOT/plan-research/<plan-stem>/minor-triage-redteam.md. Present to the user (omit any empty category section):
AskUserQuestion:
"N MINOR findings from red team review:
Fixable now (M items):
Needs manual review (K items): 3. [summary]
No action needed (J items): 4. [summary] — [reason]
What would you like to do?"
Options:
Edge cases:
**Acknowledged (batch):** with "(M fixable declined)" annotation.Partial acceptance parsing: Interpret the user's natural language response (e.g., "1, 3", "all except 2", "first two"). If ambiguous, ask for clarification rather than guessing.
Step 3c: Apply fixes and verify. For each accepted fix:
old_string/new_string from the categorization output (one edit per fix, sequential).Step 3d: Present "needs manual review" items individually. For each item categorized as "needs manual review," present via AskUserQuestion with the same options as CRITICAL/SERIOUS findings (Step 6.8.3):
"[Finding summary — note which provider(s) flagged it]. How should we handle this?"
Apply the user's decision to the plan file. Include the user's stated reasoning.
MINOR triage provenance formats:
**Fixed (batch):** M MINOR red team fixes applied. [see $WORKFLOWS_ROOT/plan-research/<plan-stem>/minor-triage-redteam.md]**Acknowledged (batch):** J MINOR red team findings, no action needed. [see $WORKFLOWS_ROOT/plan-research/<plan-stem>/minor-triage-redteam.md]**Acknowledged (batch):** N MINOR red team findings accepted (M fixable declined). [see $WORKFLOWS_ROOT/plan-research/<plan-stem>/minor-triage-redteam.md]**Fixed (batch):** M of N fixable MINOR red team items applied (items 1, 3). [see $WORKFLOWS_ROOT/plan-research/<plan-stem>/minor-triage-redteam.md][red-team--<provider>, see $WORKFLOWS_ROOT/plan-research/<plan-stem>/red-team--<provider>.md]Set a 5-minute timeout per provider agent. If a provider hasn't produced output after 5 minutes, proceed with whatever providers completed. Log any timeouts in the recommendation log. If all providers time out, treat as "red team failed" and proceed to Phase 7 with red team status "failed."
After all triage is complete, compare the plan file hash to detect edits:
shasum -a 256 <plan-path>
Read the first field of the output as the plan hash. Track this value as PLAN_HASH_AFTER. Compare PLAN_HASH_BEFORE and PLAN_HASH_AFTER: if they differ, the plan changed (proceed to Phase 6.9); if equal, the plan is unchanged (skip to Phase 7).
The hash comparison is intentionally coarse — any edit triggers re-check, including MINOR fixes. The cost of a false positive (unnecessary re-check after a typo fix) is ~5-10 min; the cost of a false negative (missing structural edit) could result in implementing a broken plan.
If PLAN_CHANGED=true, proceed to Phase 6.9. If PLAN_CHANGED=false, skip to Phase 7.
Gate: Check PLAN_CHANGED from Phase 6.8.6 hash comparison.
PLAN_CHANGED=false: Show "Plan unchanged during red team triage — skipping re-check." Skip to Phase 7.PLAN_CHANGED=true: Show "Plan was modified during red team triage. Running full readiness re-check."Dispatch: Re-run Phase 6.7's complete readiness dispatch with these differences:
$WORKFLOWS_ROOT/plan-research/<plan-stem>/readiness/re-check/checks/ (NOT Phase 6.7's $WORKFLOWS_ROOT/plan-research/<plan-stem>/readiness/checks/). Both passes are preserved for traceability.Stats capture for re-check dispatches: Use "-recheck" step suffixes to distinguish from Phase 6.7:
semantic-checks step="semantic-checks-recheck" model=cached. Increment dispatch counter.plan-readiness-reviewer step="plan-readiness-reviewer-recheck" model=cached. Increment dispatch counter.plan-consolidator step="plan-consolidator-recheck" model=cached. Increment dispatch counter.Triage: Same process as Phase 6.7 — present consolidated findings, resolve/defer/dismiss each.
Deferred severity tracking: Re-check findings are readiness-type issues (structural/consistency) even though they were caused by red team edits. Track re-check deferred severities under the readiness counter, not the red team counter.
Loop cap: No further re-check after this cycle. If re-check finds issues:
This prevents infinite loops: red team → triage edits → re-check → triage edits → re-check → ... The single re-check pass catches structural regressions from red team fixes. Any remaining issues surface in Phase 7's recommendation as deferred readiness findings.
If stats capture is enabled, validate entry count against dispatch counter:
bash $PLUGIN_ROOT/scripts/validate-stats.sh "$STATS_FILE" <DISPATCH_COUNT>
If validate-stats.sh reports a mismatch, warn with the names of missing agents (not just the count delta). Do not fail the command. Account for conditional dispatches — only count agents that were actually dispatched (external research 0-2, consolidator 0-1, verify 0-2, red team 0-4, re-check 0-3).
If any items were deferred:
Flag them explicitly: "Note: N deferred items remain in the plan. /do:work will surface these before execution — the orchestrator may need to pause and ask you to resolve them."
Work readiness note: Before presenting options, assess whether the plan's steps are well-sized for /do:work (subagent dispatch). Flag if:
Compute the recommended next step by evaluating the following decision tree in order (first match wins). Use data from Phase 6.7: the reviewer's severity summary (in context from foreground dispatch), deferred finding severities (tracked per step 5 above), and post-verify severity counts (if verify ran).
Additional data to gather at Phase 7 time:
origin: exists and points to a docs/brainstorms/*.md file, a brainstorm exists. Otherwise, no brainstorm preceded this plan./do:work execution units — the same ones assessed in the work readiness note above).Decision tree (evaluate in order, first match wins):
Reviewer failed or was skipped → Recommend: deepen-plan
Any CRITICAL finding remains (readiness or red team, active or deferred) → Recommend: deepen-plan
Any SERIOUS finding remains (readiness or red team, active or deferred) → Recommend: deepen-plan
Red team ran and clean (no unresolved CRITICAL/SERIOUS from any source) → Recommend: work
Rule 4 vs Rule 5 interaction: If Phase 6.7 consolidator materially modified the plan (resolving CRITICAL/SERIOUS) but Phase 6.8 red team then validated the modified plan (clean), rule 4 fires first and recommends work. The red team IS the adversarial validation that rule 5 was routing to deepen-plan for. Rule 5 only fires when consolidator materially modified the plan AND the user skipped red team — leaving the modifications unvalidated.
Consolidator resolved CRITICAL or SERIOUS findings (plan materially modified) and verify passed clean + red team not run → Recommend: deepen-plan
No brainstorm origin AND plan has 4+ top-level implementation steps AND red team not run → Recommend: deepen-plan
Clean or MINOR-only findings, brainstorm exists or plan is small (< 4 steps) → Recommend: work
Use AskUserQuestion tool:
Question: "Plan ready at [plan_path]. [Recommendation message from decision tree above.] [Any work-readiness flags, e.g., 'Note: Steps 7-8 are large — the /do:work orchestrator should split them into smaller issues.'] What would you like to do next?"
Options (annotate exactly one with **[Recommended]** based on the decision tree result):
/do:deepen-plan — Enhance with parallel research agents [Recommended] ← if decision tree recommends deepen-plan/do:work — Begin implementing this plan [Recommended] ← if decision tree recommends work [If CRITICAL readiness findings were deferred, always append: "— Warning: unresolved CRITICAL findings"]The **[Recommended]** annotation appears on exactly one option per run (never zero, never two). The option order is fixed — only the annotation moves.
After the user responds to the AskUserQuestion above, append an entry to $WORKFLOWS_ROOT/plan-research/<plan-stem>/recommendation-log.md to track recommendation accuracy for future calibration:
## <date>
- Readiness severity counts: N CRITICAL, N SERIOUS, N MINOR (final state)
- Readiness deferred: N CRITICAL, N SERIOUS (if any)
- Red team ran: yes/no
- Red team severity counts: N CRITICAL, N SERIOUS, N MINOR (if ran)
- Red team deferred: N CRITICAL, N SERIOUS (if any)
- Plan modified by red team: yes/no
- Re-check ran: yes/no
- Consolidator materially modified plan: yes/no
- Brainstorm origin: yes/no
- Step count: N
- Recommendation: <option> [Recommended]
- User choice: <option selected>
The "Consolidator materially modified plan" field is "yes" if the consolidator resolved any CRITICAL or SERIOUS findings (material modification per decision tree rule 5), "no" otherwise.
/do:work knows what's unresolved.origin: frontmatter and carry forward all decisionsNEVER CODE! Just research and write the plan.
