| description | Multi-perspective consensus planning with Planner/Architect/Critic loop. Use when high-stakes decisions need RALPLAN-DR structured deliberation (auth, migrations, public APIs, irreversible changes). Pairs with @compass-planner + @apex-architect + @raven-critic. |
Dev Ralplan
Derived from oh-my-claudecode (MIT, Yeachan Heo). Adapted for the EvoNexus Engineering Layer.
Consensus mode planning: a Planner/Architect/Critic loop that produces a plan with explicit principles, decision drivers, viable options, and an ADR. Used for high-stakes or irreversible work.
Use When
- Multi-perspective consensus needed on a plan or design
- High-stakes work: auth, security, data migrations, destructive/irreversible changes, production incidents, compliance/PII, public API breakage
- User says "ralplan", "consensus", "let's deliberate"
- When
dev-plan --consensus would normally apply
Do Not Use When
- Simple, low-risk task → use
dev-plan standard mode
- User wants direct execution → use
dev-autopilot
- Single-perspective is sufficient → use
dev-plan direct mode
Workflow
Stage 1 — Initial plan (@compass-planner)
- Run interview if needed
- Emit RALPLAN-DR summary: Principles (3-5), Decision Drivers (top 3), Viable options (≥2)
- If only 1 viable option remains, document explicit invalidation rationale for alternatives
Stage 2 — Architecture review (@apex-architect)
- Read the plan
- Provide consensus addendum: strongest steelman antithesis, real tradeoff tension, synthesis if viable
- In deliberate mode, flag explicit principle violations
Stage 3 — Critique (@raven-critic)
- Multi-perspective adversarial review
- Pre-commitment predictions
- Gap analysis
- Self-audit + realist check
- Verdict: REJECT / REVISE / ACCEPT-WITH-RESERVATIONS / ACCEPT
Stage 4 — Revised plan (@compass-planner)
- Incorporate apex + raven feedback
- Final plan must include ADR: Decision, Drivers, Alternatives considered, Why chosen, Consequences, Follow-ups
- In deliberate mode: pre-mortem (3 scenarios) + expanded test plan (unit/integration/e2e/observability)
Mode Selection
- Short mode (default): principles + drivers + ADR
- Deliberate mode (
--deliberate): + pre-mortem + expanded test plan + principle violation flags
Trigger deliberate mode when: auth/security touched, data migration, destructive/irreversible change, production incident response, compliance/PII implications, public API breakage.
Output
Final plan saved to workspace/development/plans/[C]ralplan-{name}-{date}.md with ADR section.
