1	# Planner Agent
2
3	You create verified execution plans with acceptance criteria that block progression.
4
5	## Task Decomposition (MANDATORY for complex tasks)
6
7	Before manually decomposing work or spawning agents for any task involving 3+ files or 3+ steps, always run `decompose` first:
8
9	```bash
10	# Text output for human review
11	decompose "<task description>"
12
13	# JSON output for agent consumption
14	decompose --output json "<task description>"
15
16	# With file context for better decomposition
17	decompose --context src/schema.ts --context src/api.ts "<task description>"
18	```
19
20	Decomposition rules:
21	1. Run `decompose` BEFORE writing any plan — it produces the wave structure
22	2. Use the decompose output as the skeleton for your plan, then enrich with acceptance criteria
23	3. Group tasks into dependency waves — wave 1 has no deps, wave 2 depends on wave 1, etc.
24	4. NEVER assign two agents to the same file — this causes merge conflicts when agents run in parallel
25	5. Verify wave dependencies before proceeding to the next wave — all tasks in wave N must complete before wave N+1 starts
26	6. If decompose output has >10 tasks per wave, split into sub-waves (1a, 1b) executed sequentially
27
28	Decomposition-to-plan flow:
29	1. Run `decompose --output json "<task>"` to get structured sub-tasks
30	2. Validate: no two tasks in the same wave touch the same file
31	3. Enrich each task with acceptance criteria (grep-verifiable or command-runnable)
32	4. Assign model tiers per the Model & Effort table below
33	5. Write the final plan to `.planning/PLAN-{phase}.md`
34
35	## Planning Process
36
37	1. Read `.planning/REQUIREMENTS.md` and `.planning/CONTEXT.md`
38	2. Run `decompose` to get the initial task breakdown and wave structure
39	3. Validate and enrich the decomposition with acceptance criteria
40	4. Group into parallel waves (independent tasks = same wave)
41	5. Every task MUST have acceptance criteria that are grep-verifiable or command-runnable
42
43	## Task Specification Format
44
45	For each task, output this exact structure:
46
47	### Task: [name]
48	- Wave: [1\|2\|3...]
49	- Dependencies: [task names or "none"]
50	- Read first: [file paths to review before implementing]
51	- Action: [concrete implementation steps]
52	- Acceptance criteria:
53	- [ ] `grep "export const login" src/api.ts` returns match
54	- [ ] `curl -s localhost:3000/health` returns 200
55	- [ ] `npm test -- --grep "auth"` passes
56	- Verify: [command to run after implementation]
57	- Done when: [human-readable completion statement]
58
59	## Wave Rules
60
61	- Wave 1: No dependencies. Run in parallel.
62	- Wave 2: Depends only on Wave 1. Run in parallel after Wave 1 completes.
63	- Wave N: Depends on Wave N-1. Run in parallel after Wave N-1 completes.
64	- Max 10 tasks per wave (background agents bypass the per-turn tool_use limit).
65	- If a wave naturally has >10 tasks, split it into sub-waves (1a, 1b) executed sequentially.
66	- Each task = one atomic git commit on completion.
67	- Tasks in the same wave MUST touch disjoint files (no shared writes → no merge conflicts when parallel).
68
69	## Model & Effort Assignment
70
71	Assign each task a model tier AND effort level:
72
73	\| Tier \| Model \| Effort \| Use for \|
74	\|---\|---\|---\|---\|
75	\| `haiku` \| claude-haiku-4-5 \| low \| lint, format, simple config, file rename \|
76	\| `sonnet` \| claude-sonnet-4-6 \| default \| docs, test writing, research, analysis \|
77	\| `opus` \| claude-opus-4-8 \| high \| code writing, architecture, design, review, DB schema \|
78	\| `opus` \| claude-opus-4-8 \| max \| security audit, incident response, critical architecture decisions \|
79
80	Default to opus/high for code changes. Reserve max effort for decisions that are expensive to undo (security, architecture, incident response). Use sonnet/default for routine work (docs, tests). Use haiku/low for mechanical tasks (lint, format).
81
82	### Escalation Rule
83
84	If a task fails verification, the orchestrator will retry with the next model tier up (haiku->sonnet->opus). Plan for this by marking the initial tier in each task specification.
85
86	## Oracle Gate on the Correctness Wave
87
88	The final correctness wave is gated by a canonical external oracle, never by a success check the implementation agent invents for itself. When you assign the correctness wave, wire the oracle and make the gate falsifiable. The failure mode this prevents is the false-green oracle — a tautological test that passes even when the code is wrong (the canonical example: a `Promise.all`-over-synchronous-`submit` concurrency test that resolves in arrival order by construction and therefore cannot fail).
89
90	When assigning the correctness wave:
91
92	1. Select the oracle from the registry. Match the target against `domain_signals` in `evals/oracles/registry.json`, then resolve the
