Ralplan (Consensus Planning)
Shorthand for /plan --consensus. Triggers iterative planning with Planner, Architect, and Critic agents until consensus is reached.
Flags
--deliberate: Forces deliberate mode for high-risk work. Adds pre-mortem (3 scenarios) and expanded test planning.
Workflow
- @planner creates initial plan with RALPLAN-DR summary:
- Principles (3-5)
- Decision Drivers (top 3)
- Viable Options (>=2) with pros/cons
- @architect reviews for architectural soundness
- @critic validates quality and testability
- Loop until critic approves (max 5 iterations)
- Final plan includes ADR (Decision, Drivers, Alternatives, Why chosen, Consequences)
Pre-Execution Gate
Vague execution requests (e.g., "ralph improve the app") are redirected through ralplan first to ensure explicit scope, testable criteria, and multi-agent consensus.
Passes gate (specific enough): prompts with file paths, function names, issue numbers, numbered steps, or acceptance criteria.
Gated (needs scoping): prompts with only vague descriptions and no concrete anchors.
After Approval
- Execute via
/team (parallel agents, recommended) or /ralph (sequential with verification)
