refine-prompt-plan

name	refine-prompt-plan
description	Iteratively review and revise a prompt plan until no new findings survive evaluation. Runs /review-prompt-plan, /evaluate-findings, /apply-findings, then re-runs itself until stable. Use when the user asks to "refine the prompt plan", "refine this prompt plan", "iterate on the prompt plan", "tighten the prompt plan", or "improve the prompt plan".

Refine Prompt Plan

Loop the prompt plan review pipeline over a prompt plan index and its shell files until no new findings are accepted. Writes back to the index and shell files in place.

Task Tracking

At the start of every invocation (including re-runs from Step 5), use TaskCreate to create a task for each step:

1. Resolve the prompt plan
2. Run /review-prompt-plan skill
3. Run /evaluate-findings skill
4. Run /apply-findings skill
5. Re-run /refine-prompt-plan skill if changed

Step 1: Resolve the Prompt Plan

Determine which prompt plan index to refine using these rules in order:

1. Explicit path — If an absolute or relative path was passed, use it
2. Explicit slug — If a slug was passed, resolve to .turbo/prompt-plans/<slug>.md
3. Single file — Glob .turbo/prompt-plans/*.md. If exactly one file exists, use it
4. Most recent — If multiple files exist, use the most recently modified
5. Legacy fallback — If .turbo/prompt-plans/ does not exist but .turbo/prompts.md exists, use it
6. Nothing found — If no prompt plan exists, tell the user to run /draft-prompt-plan first and stop

If multiple files exist and the most-recent choice is non-obvious (e.g., several prompt plans were modified within the same minute), use AskUserQuestion to let the user pick from the candidates.

Read the resolved index file and extract:

• All shell file paths from Shell: fields
• The source spec path from the Source: field

Verify that all shell files and the source spec exist. State the resolved index path, the number of shells, and the source spec path before continuing.

Step 2: Run /review-prompt-plan Skill

Run the /review-prompt-plan skill, passing the index path. It reads the index, all shells, and the source spec, then checks wiring invariants (Produces, Consumes, Covers Spec Requirements) across all shells and returns combined findings.

Always run this step even if the prompt plan looks polished.

Step 3: Run /evaluate-findings Skill

Run the /evaluate-findings skill on the review findings from Step 2.

If zero actionable findings survive evaluation, skip to the end and report the prompt plan as stable.

Step 4: Run /apply-findings Skill

Run the /apply-findings skill on the evaluated results. Target files are the index and/or shell files resolved in Step 1. Apply accepted findings by editing the affected files in place.

Step 5: Re-run /refine-prompt-plan Skill if Changed

Check whether any prompt plan file (index or shells) was edited during Step 4. Any edit to any file counts.

If changes were made, classify what Step 4 edited:

• Structural edits (added or removed shells, changed Produces/Consumes/Covers Spec Requirements wiring, added or removed spec requirement coverage) — run /refine-prompt-plan again via the Skill tool, passing the resolved index path. If the round contains both structural and prose-only edits, treat it as structural and re-run automatically.
• Prose-only edits only (reworded implementation steps in place, fixed stale examples, clarified existing text without changing meaning) — output a summary of what changed, then use AskUserQuestion to ask whether to run one more round or stop here. Do not silently continue or silently stop.

If this is iteration 3 and changes were still made, the hard cap is reached. This replaces the classification gate above. Output a summary of what is still changing and whether it is structural or prose-only. Then use AskUserQuestion to offer three options: continue for another iteration, stop here and accept the prompt plan as-is, or escalate to /consult-oracle for a different perspective on the remaining issues.

The re-invocation is a full, fresh run of this skill. Every step (1-5) executes with its own task tracking and skill invocations.

Rules

• Every step must run in every iteration. /evaluate-findings is a judgment gate that must run before /apply-findings touches the prompt plan. Each step must invoke its designated skill via the Skill tool.
• Re-invocations from Step 5 are full runs with fresh task tracking and complete skill invocations.
• The index and shell files are the only files that should change. Do not modify the source spec.
• If /review-prompt-plan returns no findings on the first pass, report the prompt plan as stable and stop.
