pals

Execute an approved PALS plan. Runs tasks sequentially, verifies each step, handles checkpoints, and records results for reconciliation.

Manage PALS module configuration and integrations. View, enable, and disable modules and integrations via pals.json.

Explore and articulate vision before planning. Facilitates discussion about the next milestone or phase scope, then creates a context handoff file.

Quick fix with three modes: standard (compressed loop), fast-forward (zero overhead), and hotfix (execute first, document after). For ad-hoc fixes outside the main phase loop.

Show available PALS commands and usage guide. Explains how Pi /paul-* commands relate to canonical /skill:paul-* skills.

Initialize PALS in a project. Creates .paul/ directory with STATE.md, PROJECT.md, PRD.md, ROADMAP.md, and configures modules. Supports greenfield and brownfield projects.

Manage PALS milestones. Creates new milestones with phase structure, or completes the current milestone. Detects intent from project state.

Create a handoff file for session breaks. Captures current state, in-progress work, decisions, and next actions so a future session can resume cleanly.

Create an executable plan for the current PALS phase. Reads project state, analyzes scope, and produces a structured PLAN.md with objectives, acceptance criteria, tasks, and verification steps.

Restore PALS context after a session break. Reads STATE.md and handoff files to determine current position and suggests exactly one next action.

Run thorough code review via REV subagent — spawns an isolated reviewer with fresh context for unbiased, senior-dev-level review across 8 dimensions.

Show PALS project status with smart routing. Displays current milestone, phase, loop position, git state for github-flow projects, and suggests exactly one next action.

Reconcile plan vs actual results. Creates a SUMMARY.md documenting what was built, deviations, decisions, and lessons learned. Closes the PLAN-APPLY-UNIFY loop.
