ace:add-phase

A command for appending a new phase to a project roadmap. A phase is a major stage of work, and Git is a system for recording file changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to gather a phase goal, estimates, and dependencies, add the phase to the roadmap, update the state file, commit the changes, and confirm the result.
Why use it?
It avoids manually updating phase numbers, project state, and the change record when extending a plan.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

ace:add-phase scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

1. Load Current Roadmap

Read ROADMAP.md to understand:

  • Current phases
  • Total count
  • Dependencies

2. Gather Phase Info

Use AskUserQuestion:

  • "What is the goal of this new phase?"
  • "How many plans do you estimate?"
  • "Any dependencies on other phases?"

3. Create Phase Entry

Add to ROADMAP.md:

### Phase [N+1]: [Phase Name]
**Goal:** [Description]
**Status:** Not Started

Plans:
- [ ] [phase]-01: [Plan name]
- [ ] [phase]-02: [Plan name]

Dependencies: Phase [N]

4. Update STATE.md

Update total phase count.

5. Git Commit

Commit the roadmap changes:

git add .ace/planning/ROADMAP.md
git add .ace/planning/STATE.md
git commit -m "docs: add phase [N] - [phase-name]"

6. Confirm

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
