deep-verify-plan

name	deep-verify-plan
description	Use when asked to verify, improve, or sharpen a plan file using deep plan verification. Runs the deep-plan-verification babysitter process (yolo mode) on a plan file — no coding, no implementation, only iterative plan QA. Shows before/after diff and final quality score at the end.

Deep Verify Plan Skill

Announce at start: "I'm using the deep-verify-plan skill to run iterative plan verification."

What This Does

Runs the deep-plan-verification.js babysitter process against a plan file. This does zero implementation — it only improves the plan document itself through iterative QA:

• 6-dimension parallel gap scanning (implementation, security, edge-cases, testing, deployment, architecture)
• Dedup + prove-gaps filter (removes phantom gaps before answering)
• Self-answer all real gaps as a senior dev grounded in actual code
• 3-judge review of answers (Implementer / Skeptic / Completeness) — 2/3 must pass
• Consistency gate — ensures new additions don't contradict existing plan
• Quality score (8 dimensions, target 95/100)
• Repeat until score >= 95 or max 10 iterations

How to Invoke

/deep-verify-plan [path-to-plan.md]

If no path is given, auto-detect the most recently modified plan in docs/superpowers/plans/.

Steps

Step 1: Find the plan file

If user provided a path, use it. Otherwise:

ls -t docs/superpowers/plans/*.md 2>/dev/null | head -1

Confirm with the user: "Found plan: <path>. Running deep verification on it."

If no plan found anywhere, ask the user to provide the path.

Step 2: Snapshot the plan (before state)

cp "<plan-file>" "<plan-file>.before-deep-verify-plan"

Step 3: Invoke babysitter yolo

Use skill babysitter:yolo:

/babysitter:yolo Run the deep-plan-verification process.
  Process file: ~/.a5c/processes/deep-plan-verification.js
  Inputs: planFile=<absolute-path-to-plan>, projectRoot=<CWD>, requireApproval=false, taskDescription=Deep plan verification — improve plan quality to 95/100 across 8 dimensions

CRITICAL: Do NOT write any code, create any files beyond the plan update, or implement anything. This run is plan-only.

Step 4: Show the diff (after state)

After babysitter completes:

diff "<plan-file>.before-deep-verify-plan" "<plan-file>" || true

If no diff: "No changes were made to the plan."

If diff exists, present it clearly:

• Summary: how many lines added/removed
• Key additions (new sections, new decisions, new answers)
• Final quality score from the last babysitter output

Step 5: Clean up snapshot

rm "<plan-file>.before-deep-verify-plan"

Step 6: Report to user

Summarize:

• Final quality score (e.g., "Score: 97/100 after 3 iterations")
• Number of gaps found and answered
• Key improvements made to the plan
• Whether the plan is ready for implementation

Rules

• NO implementation — never write production code, create source files, or run build commands
• NO shortcuts — do not skip babysitter orchestration; every phase must run through babysitter
• Plan file only — the only file that should change is the plan .md file itself
• Babysitter handles all orchestration; do not short-circuit it
