Answers "What changed since I last looked?" on any subject — the delta since your last look, plus done → here → next as a path on trunk or a TREE on a branch, computed fresh via a bounded read-only subagent. Trigger phrases: "/orient-map", "show me the map", "what changed since last look", "how deep down this branch…
Answers "What comes next, and what gates it?" on any subject — the increment arc (built → current → next), what shipped now, the gates, the next increment's clusters (paramount starred), and the runway of stage boxes (now → gated-next → future) plus the deferred lanes, computed fresh via a bounded read-only subagent.…
Answers "How far along am I, and when will it be done?" on any subject (repo, folder, plan, task) — current position, what's left, and a banded ETA, computed fresh via a bounded read-only subagent. --resume rebuilds context after a gap (one next move + counter-case). Trigger phrases: "/orient-status", "where are we on…
Post-execution cleanup — remove planning artifacts and tech debt left behind after a plan runs. Trigger when the user runs /plan-cleanup, says 'clean up artifacts', 'remove the plan file', or 'no tech debt'. Not /plan-evolve (plans the next version) — plan-cleanup only removes leftovers and adds no new work.
Propose a phased, gated implementation plan before any work begins. Trigger when the user runs /plan-create, says "make a plan", "plan this out", "design before coding", "let's plan first", "architect this", or asks for a phased approach before implementation. Also trigger proactively when a task is complex enough…
Phase-by-phase deep inspection of any multi-phase plan — stop at each phase and assess completeness, quality, and future-readiness before advancing. Trigger when the user runs /deep-dive or asks to "do a deep dive", "inspect each phase", "look at this more carefully", or "check if we're missing anything" on an…
Evolve a target to its next version — treat what shipped as v1, plan the next iteration. The target can be a plan, a repo, a system, a document, a feature, or a skill. If a v1 plan artifact exists, evolve it; if not, the current state of the target IS v1. Trigger: 'what would v2 look like', 'evolve this', 'what's next…
Apply the last approved plan exactly. Trigger when the user runs /execute or says "execute the plan", "implement this", "do it", or "go ahead" after a plan has been approved. Surface judgment calls — do not make them silently. Not /plan-create (designs the plan first) or /plan-deep-dive (inspects a plan without…
Restructure an existing plan into phases with /verify gates after each phase and critical steps. Trigger when the user runs /phase-plan or asks to "add phases to this plan", "gate this plan", "restructure the plan", or "add checkpoints". Use plan-create for new plans and plan-deep-dive for inspection without…
Expand a vague gap into concrete questions + named source candidates via a delegated sub-agent — caller sees only the proposed pair for confirm/edit/refuse, never the expansion reasoning. Trigger /prime-expand, "expand on this", or auto-fire on handoff receipt with a thin brief. (Not for ambient "I need to know X"…
Run a noisy data-fetching tool call (Grep, Glob, WebFetch, MCP search) on the caller's behalf in a sub-agent's context — only the filtered, proof-of-work-verified digest enters the caller's window. Trigger /prime-fetch, or when a planned tool call will return mostly noise. Single sub-agent, single wave, read-only tool…
Prime the calling agent with high-signal context from large source surfaces (multiple files, packages, folders) via parallel delegated sub-agents. Sub-agents absorb the noise; only digested findings + source:line pointers enter the caller's context. Trigger /prime-sweep, chained from /prime-expand when sources are too…
