Polishing pass over all open beads. "Check your beads N times, implement once." Run 4–6 times. Use after /plan-to-beads and between refinement rounds.

Deep review — random exploration + cross-agent review, alternating. Finds integration bugs that self-review misses. Run every 30–60 min during active implementation.
Overview of Forge's Agentic Coding Flywheel methodology. Use to route between plan, bead, and code space. See FLYWHEEL.md at the repo root.
End-of-session ritual. Close finished beads, file new ones for remaining work, run verify, commit in logical groupings, push. Work is not complete until git push succeeds.
Start a new Flywheel planning round. Produce initial markdown plan, route to competing frontier models, synthesize hybrid, refine 4–5×. Use before any coding begins on a new feature.
Translate a polished markdown plan into self-contained beads in .beads/beads.jsonl. Every bead must be executable without reopening the plan. Use after the plan has converged.

Single most-underinvested step in the methodology. Every polish round is ~100× cheaper than finding the same issue during implementation.

If polishing has flatlined after 3 rounds, switch to /fresh-eyes —
a new session with no context baggage.
If 20+ new beads were added in a batch, also run /dedupe-beads.
As a final polishing pass, run this same prompt through a different model (e.g. switch from Claude to Codex, or vice versa). Different models catch different things.
