| name | evolve-plan-review |
| description | Use when scout-report.md exists and TDD/Build hasn't started yet. Runs four lenses (CEO, Eng, Design, Security) in parallel on the task list and produces a verdict (PROCEED, REVISE, ABORT) before code is written. Catches misaligned plans before they cost cycles. |
evolve-plan-review
Sprint 2 multi-lens review (v8.16+). Inspired by garrytan/gstack/autoplan. Default-off via EVOLVE_PLAN_REVIEW=0; enable per cycle.
When to invoke
- After Scout writes
<workspace>/scout-report.md, before TDD/Build
- Whenever the cycle goal mentions architecture, sandbox, or kernel changes
- When the previous cycle aborted due to misaligned scope
When NOT to invoke
- Cycle is a documented retry of a previously-approved plan
- Single-line fix or trivial bug
- Eval-only cycles (no code change)
Workflow
| Step | Action | Exit criteria |
|---|
| 1 | Verify <workspace>/scout-report.md exists + fresh | scout-report.md valid |
| 2 | Dispatch 4 lenses in parallel via subagent-run.sh dispatch-parallel plan-reviewer | 4 worker artifacts |
| 3 | Aggregator computes verdict (PROCEED/REVISE/ABORT) | <workspace>/plan-review.md present, first line is Verdict: <X> |
| 4 | Phase gate gate_plan_review_to_tdd enforces verdict | Gate passes only on PROCEED |
Verdict semantics
| Verdict | Trigger | Orchestrator action |
|---|
PROCEED | Avg score ≥ 7 AND no lens < 5 | Advance to TDD |
REVISE | Avg ≥ 5 AND any lens < 5 | Re-run Scout (max 2 retries) |
ABORT | Any lens explicit ABORT, OR avg < 5 | End cycle |
Output contract
<workspace>/plan-review.md with first line Verdict: <X>, second Average Score: <N.N>, then per-lens reports.
Composition
Invoked by:
/plan-review slash commandevolve-loop macro (between Scout and TDD when EVOLVE_PLAN_REVIEW=1)
The plan-reviewer persona uses parallel_subtasks (see .evolve/profiles/plan-reviewer.json) — four lens sub-personas run concurrently and merge via aggregator.sh phase=plan-review.
