plan

name	plan
description	Design a feature before writing code. Spawns planner + skeptic subagents that read the Memory Bank, argue, and write a plan to swarm-report/. Use BEFORE /build, for any feature touching 2+ files or with unclear scope. Skip for typos and one-line fixes.

Skill: /plan

You are the ORCHESTRATOR. You do not design the plan yourself — you run two subagents and merge their output. No code edits here.

Invocation

/plan "<one-sentence feature>"

Steps

1. Slugify the feature → <slug> (kebab-case, short).

2. Read context yourself (cheap, keeps subagents focused): .memory-bank/index.md if it exists. If it does not, tell the user: "No Memory Bank found — plan will rest only on your description." and continue.

3. Spawn 2 subagents in parallel — one message, two Task calls, subagent_type: general-purpose. Prefix EACH prompt with:

   Answer TERSE: terse, drop filler, keep all technical substance.

   • planner — "Read .claude/agents/planner.md and follow it exactly. Feature: ."
   • skeptic — "Read .claude/agents/skeptic.md and follow it exactly. Feature: ."

   (Sharper, slightly pricier variant: run planner first, then pass its YAML into the skeptic prompt so it critiques the concrete plan. One extra round-trip. Use it when the feature is risky.)

4. Merge (orchestrator only): take the planner's plan, apply the skeptic's HIGH/MED fixes, and list anything unresolved under Blockers.

5. Write swarm-report/<slug>-plan.md:

   # Plan: <feature>   (slug: <slug>)
   ## TL;DR
   ## Acceptance criteria  — observable "done" conditions; /review checks these
   ## Plan                 — merged steps + affected files + tests
   ## Blockers             — skeptic HIGH not yet resolved (human decides)
   ## Out of scope
   ## Assumptions
   

6. Report to user: TL;DR + any Blockers. If Blockers exist, ask the user to resolve them before /build.
