ralplan

# 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 1. **@planner** creates initial plan with RALPLAN-DR summary: - Principles (3-5) - Decision Drivers (top 3) - Viable Options (>=2) with pros/cons 2. **@architect** reviews for architectural soundness 3. **@critic** validates quality and testability 4. **Loop** until critic approves (max 5 iterations) 5. 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)
