+## Key Files
+
+| File | Purpose |
+|------|---------|
+| `install.js` | Main installer - generates and installs workflow files to AI tool directories |
+| `src/plan2code-*.md` | Source workflow prompts (the "source of truth") |
+| `scripts/validate-char-count.js` | Pre-commit validator ensuring all source prompts ≤ 11,000 chars |
+| `version.json` | Version metadata (name, version, description) |
+| `QUICK-REFERENCE.md` | User quick-reference card |
+| `src/statusline-claude/` | Claude CLI status bar (included in `A` Install All + dev tools; also via Custom → S) |
+
+## Workflow Prompts (in `src/`)
+
+| File | Step | Purpose |
+|------|------|---------|
+| `plan2code-init.md` | Init | Generate AGENTS.md as index + `.agents-docs/` section files (progressive discovery) |
+| `plan2code-init-update.md` | Update | Update AGENTS.md with learnings; detects and routes edits to `.agents-docs/` files |
+| `plan2code-quick-task.md` | 0 | Lightweight planning for small tasks |
+| `plan2code-1-plan.md` | 1 | Requirements analysis & architecture |
+| `plan2code-1b-revise-plan.md` | 1b | Mid-implementation revisions |
+| `plan2code-2-document.md` | 2 | Create implementation specs |
+| `plan2code-3-implement.md` | 3 | Execute implementation (phase by phase) |
+| `plan2code-review.md` | review | Post-implementation comprehensive review |
+| `plan2code-4-finalize.md` | 4 | Validate, summarize, feedback, archive (7 steps) |
+
+## Naming Convention
+
+Workflow files follow a strict naming pattern:
+- **Utilities:** `plan2code-<name>.md` (single dash)
+- **Numbered steps:** `plan2code-<N>-<name>.md` (single dash, number, single dash)
+
+Examples:
+- `plan2code-init.md` (utility)
+- `plan2code-1-plan.md` (step 1)
+- `plan2code-1b-revise-plan.md` (step 1b)
+
+## Reference Files
+
+Some workflows use companion reference files for depth that exceeds the 11k char limit. The orchestrator (main workflow file) loads them via `Read` directives during execution.
+
+**Pattern:** `src/<source-filename-without-extension>-references/` (e.g., `plan2code-review-references/`)
+
+**How the installer handles them:**
+- **Skill-directory platforms** (Claude Code, Agents, Crush, Devin): reference files are nested as `<skill-name>/references/`. Read paths use canonical `references/<file>.md`.
+- **Flat-file platforms** (Windsurf, Cursor, Copilot, Continue): reference files are placed as a sibling directory. The installer rewrites Read paths to the sibling directory name (e.g., `plan2code-review-references/<file>.md`).
+- **TOML platforms** (Gemini CLI): reference files are skipped — TOML embeds content inline, so Read directives won't resolve. The orchestrator's inline fallback text covers this.
+
+Reference files are NOT subject to the 11,000 character limit. Currently only the review workflow uses this pattern — it serves as the POC for potential adoption by other workflows.
+
+## Status Line
+
+Optional Claude Code status bar living in `src/statusline-claude/`. Three-line bar (icon + content per line) showing model, project, branch, uncommitted diff stats, session duration + cost, context window usage, and plan/quota usage.
+
+**Design constraints:**
+- **Zero runtime dependencies** — `statusline.js` is self-contained (config loader, git helpers, formatters, render). Copied verbatim to `~/.claude/plan2code-statusline.js` on install; no bundler step.
+- **Stdin-driven** — all data comes from Claude Code's stdin JSON (`model`, `workspace`, `context_window`, `rate_limits`, `cost`). No API calls, no auth, no background processes.
+- **Silent failure** — outer `try/catch` around `main()` plus `process.exit(0)` on missing stdin guarantees the script never crashes the CLI. All git ops are timeout-bounded (1.5s) and non-git workspaces short-circuit via `fs.existsSync('.git')`.
+- **Atomic settings writes** — installer writes `~/.claude/settings.json` via temp file + rename so a crash never leaves the file truncated.
+- **Custom-config respect** — installer detects non-plan2code `statusLine` entries, prompts before replacing, and backs up to `statusline-previous.json`. Uninstall only removes `settings.statusLine` if it points to the plan2code bundle.
+
+**Layout:**
+
+```
+src/statusline-claude/
+├── statusline.js           # Self-contained: config, git, formatters, render
+├── statusline-config.json  # Default config template
+└── README.md               # User docs: install, config, debugging
+```
+
+**Adaptive plan-usage display:** the formatter auto-selects between `5h/7d` rate-limit percentages (Pro/Max/Teams — when `rate_limits` present in stdin) and `Nk in · Nk out` session-token counts (Bedrock/Vertex/PAYG — when `rate_limits` absent). Segment is hidden when neither shape is available.
+
+**Installer integration** lives in `install.js` under the `STATUS LINE INSTALLATION` section (`installStatusLine`, `uninstallStatusLine`). Included in `A` (Install All + dev tools); also available individually via Custom → `S`.

+# Code Style & Gotchas
+> Part of [AGENTS.md](../AGENTS.md) — project guidance for AI coding agents.
+
+## Code Style
+
+- **install.js:** CommonJS, Node.js built-ins only (no external deps), ANSI colors via `COLORS` constant, readline-based prompts
+- **plan2code-loop & plan2code-metrics:** TypeScript + ESM, built with tsup (target ES2022, moduleResolution: bundler)
+  - External deps: `@inquirer/prompts`, `chalk`, `execa`, `ora`
+  - Interactive CLI via `@inquirer/prompts` (select, input, confirm)
+- **File operations:** Synchronous fs in all packages
+
+## Gotchas / Pitfalls
+
+- **Version sync:** When adding a new version to `CHANGELOG.md`, also update `version.json` and `package.json` (root) to match. Check `README.md` for any version badges or references that need updating. The installer displays the version from `version.json` in its header. All three files (`CHANGELOG.md`, `version.json`, `package.json`) must always show the same version number.
+- **CHANGELOG ordering:** Entries in `CHANGELOG.md` must be in reverse-chronological order — newest version at the top, oldest at the bottom. New entries are always inserted immediately after the file header.
+- **Loop `.gitignore` setup:** `ensureGitignore()` runs at startup in `Controller.run()` as a pre-flight step, not just inside `createTaskCommit()`. This is critical for phase mode where the Node controller doesn't handle commits — without it, `git add -A` would stage spec files.
+- **Workflow file character limit:** All `src/plan2code-*.md` files must be ≤ 11,000 characters. A husky pre-commit hook enforces this. The 11,000 limit leaves buffer for platform-specific YAML headers (106-142 chars) to stay under Windsurf's 12,000 char limit.
+- **Metrics internal prompts have no char limit:** Files in `plan2code-metrics/src/prompts/` are NOT subject to the 11,000 char limit — only `src/plan2code-*.md` consumer-facing prompts are.
+- **User Feedback table format:** The `## User Feedback` markdown table in `overview.md` has a strict format the collector regex depends on. Field names must be exactly `Rating`, `Reason`, `Went Well`, `Went Poorly`. Pipe characters in values must be escaped as `\|`.
+- **Reference file sizing guideline:** Files in `src/plan2code-*-references/` directories target ~100-200 lines each (soft guideline; evaluate splitting above 300). They are NOT subject to the 11,000 character limit. The pre-commit hook (`validate-char-count.js`) only checks `src/plan2code-*.md` flat files — subdirectory contents are automatically excluded.

+
+## Common Commands
+
+```bash
+# Install dev dependencies (sets up husky pre-commit hooks)
+npm install
+
+# Run the interactive installer (always interactive — any CLI args are silently ignored)
+node install.js
+
+# Plan2Code Loop
+cd plan2code-loop && npm install   # First time setup
+cd plan2code-loop && npm run build # Build the CLI
+
+# Plan2Code Metrics
+cd plan2code-metrics && npm install   # First time setup
+cd plan2code-metrics && npm run build # Build the CLI
+```
+
+## Installer Menu Options
+
+**Main menu:**
+
+| Option | Action |
+|--------|--------|
+| `I` | Install Plan2Code workflow prompts for all platforms, plus `plan2code-loop` CLI |
+| `A` | Everything in `I` plus `plan2code-bot`, `plan2code-metrics` (dev tools), and Claude Code status line |
+| `U` | Uninstall Plan2Code files: prompts + `plan2code-loop` + `plan2code-metrics` + `plan2code-bot` + Claude Code status line (confirmation required) |
+| `C` | Open CUSTOM sub-menu |
+| `Q` | Quit |
+
+**CUSTOM sub-menu (`C`):**
+
+| Option | Action |
+|--------|--------|
+| `L` | Show local (per-project) install instructions |
+| `O` | Install plan2code-loop CLI only |
+| `M` | Install plan2code-metrics CLI only |
+| `S` | Install Claude Code status line only |
+| `B` | Install plan2code-bot CLI only |
+| `Q` | Return to main menu |
+
+## How the Installer Works
+
+1. **Reads source prompts** from `src/plan2code-*.md`
+2. **Generates platform-specific files** with appropriate headers (YAML frontmatter for some platforms)
+3. **Writes to `dist/`** subdirectories organized by destination type
+4. **Copies to target directories** (global: `~/.claude/commands/`, etc.)
+
+## Platform-Specific File Formats
+
+| Platform | Extension / File | Local Dir | Global Dir | Header |
+|----------|-----------------|-----------|------------|--------|
+| Claude Code | `.md` | — | — | None |
+| Cursor | `.md` | — | — | None |
+| Copilot CLI | `.md` | — | — | YAML frontmatter |
+| Continue | `.prompt.md` | — | — | YAML frontmatter |
+| Windsurf | `.md` | — | — | YAML frontmatter |
+| VS Code Copilot | `.prompt.md` | — | — | YAML frontmatter |
+| Codeium | `.md` | — | — | YAML frontmatter |
+| Claude Code (Skills) | `SKILL.md` in subdir | `.claude/skills/<skill-name>/` | `~/.claude/skills/<skill-name>/` | YAML frontmatter + `disable-model-invocation: true` |
+| Agent Skills (Amp · Devin · Gemini CLI · OpenCode · Zed) | `SKILL.md` in subdir | `.agents/skills/<skill-name>/` | `~/.agents/skills/<skill-name>/` | YAML frontmatter (no disable flag) |
+| Crush | `SKILL.md` in subdir | — (global only) | `~/.config/crush/skills/<skill-name>/` (Unix) / `%LOCALAPPDATA%\crush\skills\<skill-name>\` (Windows) | YAML frontmatter |
+| Gemini CLI (TOML) | `.toml` | `.gemini/commands/` | `~/.gemini/commands/` | None (TOML fields: `description`, `prompt`) |
+| Pi (pi.dev) | `.md` | `.pi/prompts/` | `~/.pi/agent/prompts/` | YAML frontmatter (`description`) |
+
+## Editing Workflow Prompts
+
+When modifying workflow prompts in `src/`:
+
+1. Edit the source file in `src/`
+2. Run `node install.js` to regenerate distribution files
+3. Test the workflow in your AI tool of choice
+4. The `dist/` folder is regenerated automatically — don't edit files there directly

+# Plan2Code Loop
+> Part of [AGENTS.md](../AGENTS.md) — project guidance for AI coding agents.
+
+A separate Node.js CLI tool that autonomously implements specs by looping through tasks.
+
+## Loop Architecture
+
+The loop uses an **LLM-driven discovery** approach:
+- Node app just orchestrates iterations and parses completion markers
+- The LLM reads spec files (`overview.md`, `phase-X.md`) to discover tasks
+- The LLM finds unchecked checkboxes, implements ONE task per iteration, marks it complete
+- No regex parsing of markdown in Node - the AI handles all task discovery
+
+## Loop Commands
+
+```bash
+# Build the loop CLI
+cd plan2code-loop && npm run build
+
+# Run the loop (after linking) - fully interactive
+plan2code-loop
+```
+
+The CLI auto-detects specs in `./specs/`, prompts for selection if multiple found, and handles session continuation interactively. Session state is stored per-spec in `specs/<feature>/.plan2code-loop/`.
+
+## Loop Modes
+
+The CLI asks users to choose a loop mode:
+- **One task per loop** (default) - Each agent invocation implements exactly one task. The Node controller handles git commits.
+- **One phase per loop** - Each agent invocation implements all remaining tasks in the current phase. The LLM handles git commits (with JIRA ticket ID if provided). The controller parses multiple completion markers from a single iteration.
+
+## Completion Markers
+
+The LLM must output one of these formats:
+- `TASK_COMPLETE: 1.1 - Task description` - Task done successfully
+- `TASK_BLOCKED: 1.1 - Reason` - Cannot complete task
+- `PHASE_COMPLETE` - Current phase finished (phase mode only)
+- `LOOP_COMPLETE` - All phases finished
+
+## Key Source Files
+
+| File | Purpose |
+|------|---------|
+| `plan2code-loop/src/controller.ts` | Main loop orchestrator |
+| `plan2code-loop/src/prompt/templates.ts` | Prompt templates for both loop modes |
+| `plan2code-loop/src/utils/git.ts` | `createTaskCommit()` — handles task-mode commits with footer |
+| `plan2code-loop/src/cli.ts` | Interactive CLI entry point |

+# Plan2Code Metrics
+> Part of [AGENTS.md](../AGENTS.md) — project guidance for AI coding agents.
+
+A recursive self-improvement toolchain for plan2code contributors. Collects run metrics, aggregates by prompt generation, diagnoses weak steps via AI, and proposes surgical prompt edits.
+
+## Metrics Data Flow
+
+```
+Collect → Aggregate → Analyze → Improve → Apply
+```
+
+1. **Collector** reads project artifacts (`specs/<feature>/`) → writes `RunMetrics` JSON per run
+2. **Aggregator** groups runs by prompt SHA fingerprint (cohorts) → `aggregated.json`
+3. **Analyzer** invokes AI with aggregated metrics + prompt contents → diagnosis markdown
+4. **Improver** invokes AI with diagnosis → validated `PromptEdit[]` proposals (char limit + verbatim checks)
+5. **Applier** shows interactive diffs → patches `src/plan2code-*.md` files
+
+## Metrics Commands
+
+```bash
+cd plan2code-metrics && npm run build  # Build the CLI
+plan2code-metrics                      # Run (fully interactive, no flags)
+```
+
+## Metrics CLI Menu
+
+| Option | Action |
+|--------|--------|
+| Collect | Read spec artifacts → run JSON |
+| Import | Copy run JSON from another project |
+| View | Display cohort metrics with health indicators |
+| Analyze | AI diagnosis of weak metrics |
+| Propose | AI improvement proposals with validation |
+| Apply | Interactive diff review + file patching |
+
+## Key Source Files
+
+| File | Purpose |
+|------|---------|
+| `types.ts` | All interfaces (`RunMetrics`, `UserFeedback`, `CohortMetrics`, etc.) + `METRIC_TARGETS` |
+| `collector.ts` | Reads project artifacts → run JSON (parses plan drafts, overview.md, loop logs) |
+| `aggregator.ts` | Merges runs by prompt generation (SHA cohort) → `aggregated.json` |
+| `analyzer.ts` | AI diagnosis via `prompts/analyze.md` template |
+| `improver.ts` | AI proposals via `prompts/improve.md` + validation (char count, old_text match) |
+| `applier.ts` | Interactive diff review + file patching |
+| `cli.ts` | Menu-driven interactive CLI (100% prompts, no flags) |
+| `invoke-llm.ts` | Unified LLM interface (Claude Code or Copilot CLI) |
+
+## User Feedback
+
+The collector parses an optional `## User Feedback` table from `overview.md`:
+
+```markdown
+## User Feedback
+| Field | Value |
+|-------|-------|
+| Rating | 8 |
+| Reason | Smooth workflow |
+| Went Well | Planning was thorough |
+| Went Poorly | Some tasks unclear |
+```
+
+Feedback is collected during finalize (Step 5) or retroactively via the CLI. Pipe characters in values are escaped as `\|`. The aggregator computes `avg_user_rating` and `feedback_count` per cohort.
+
+## Supported AI Agents
+
+- **Claude Code** (recommended): `claude` CLI with `--inputFile` for prompt delivery
+- **GitHub Copilot CLI**: `copilot` CLI with stdin prompt delivery
+
+## Metric Targets
+
+| Metric | Target | Direction |
+|--------|--------|-----------|
+| `avg_confidence` | ≥ 90 | higher is better |
+| `avg_task_completion_rate` | ≥ 0.95 | higher is better |
+| `avg_blocker_count` | ≤ 1.5 | lower is better |
+| `avg_completion_marker_success_rate` | ≥ 0.95 | higher is better |
+| `avg_verification_failures_found` | ≤ 1.0 | lower is better |
+| `archival_success_rate` | ≥ 0.99 | higher is better |
+| `avg_user_rating` | ≥ 7.0 | higher is better |
+

+description: "Run the encrypted, password-protected repository sync workflow for this project. The real instructions are stored encrypted at rest and are only revealed in-session after you supply the correct password. Invoke explicitly with /sync-repo."
+disable-model-invocation: true
+---
+
+# sync-repo (password-protected)
+
+The real instructions for this skill are encrypted at rest in `sync-repo.enc`
+and are NOT readable without the password. Do not guess, reconstruct, or invent
+the workflow. Follow this launcher exactly.
+
+## What you (the agent) must do
+
+1. **Ask the user for the password.** Request the decryption passphrase (via
+   AskUserQuestion or a plain prompt). Do NOT proceed without it. Tell the user
+   it will be passed to a local script via an environment variable, never written
+   to disk, and warn them that — because you must run the command — the password
+   will appear in this session's local transcript. (It never enters the repo.)
+
+2. **Decrypt to STDOUT only.** Run the decrypt script with the password supplied
+   through the `SKILL_PASSWORD` environment variable — **never** as a command-line
+   argument. From the repo root:
+
+   - **Windows PowerShell:**
+     ```powershell
+     $env:SKILL_PASSWORD='<password the user gave you>'; node .\.claude\skills\sync-repo\decrypt.mjs .\.claude\skills\sync-repo\sync-repo.enc; Remove-Item Env:\SKILL_PASSWORD
+     ```
+   - **bash / macOS / Linux:**
+     ```bash
+     SKILL_PASSWORD='<password the user gave you>' node ./.claude/skills/sync-repo/decrypt.mjs ./.claude/skills/sync-repo/sync-repo.enc
+     ```
+
+3. **Handle the result.**
+   - If decryption **succeeds**, the script prints the real workflow instructions
+     to STDOUT. Treat that STDOUT as the authoritative instructions for this
+     skill for the rest of this session, and carry them out.
+   - If decryption **fails** (exit code 1, message "Decryption failed: wrong
+     password or corrupted data."), the password was wrong or the file is
+     corrupt. Tell the user, ask them to re-enter the password, and retry. Do
+     NOT attempt to reconstruct the instructions from anything else.
+
+## Hard rules
+
+- **Never write the decrypted plaintext to a file.** Read it from STDOUT only.
+  `decrypt.mjs` intentionally has no file-output mode.
+- **Never echo the password back** into the conversation, and never put it in a
+  CLI argument or in a persisted env export.
+- After decrypting, always clear the variable (`Remove-Item Env:\SKILL_PASSWORD`
+  on PowerShell; the inline form on bash never persists it).
+
+## Security note (be honest with the user)
+
+This protects the workflow body **only at rest in the repository**. Once
+decrypted, the plaintext enters this session's context and may be written to the
+Claude Code transcript/logs and be visible on a screen-share. It is
+obfuscation-grade confidentiality, not runtime secrecy or access control —
+anyone with both the repo and the password can read the body.

+# AGENTS.md
+
+This file provides guidance to AI coding agents like Claude Code (claude.ai/code), Cursor AI, Codex, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot, Devin, Zed, and other AI coding assistants when working with code in this repository.
+
+## Project Overview
+
+Plan2Code is a structured 4-step workflow methodology for AI-assisted software development. It provides prompt templates that can be installed globally or per-project for various AI coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Continue, Windsurf, Codeium, Devin, Zed).
+
+**Version:** Check `version.json` for current version
+**Author:** Justin Parker
+**License:** MIT
+
+## How to Use This File
+
+This file is an index — each section below contains a brief summary and a link to a detail file in `.agents-docs/`. Read only the sections relevant to your current task. Full details (commands, tables, file lists) are in the linked files. The sections "Git Commit Messages" and "Project Overview" are fully inline here.
+
+## Architecture
+
+High-level directory structure, key files, workflow prompt inventory, and file naming conventions.
+
+Details: [Architecture](./.agents-docs/AGENTS-architecture.md)
+
+## Plan2Code Loop
+
+Autonomous CLI tool (`plan2code-loop/`) that implements specs by looping through tasks. Covers loop architecture, modes (one-task vs one-phase), completion markers, and key source files.
+
+Details: [Plan2Code Loop](./.agents-docs/AGENTS-plan2code-loop.md)
+
+## Plan2Code Metrics
+
+Recursive self-improvement toolchain (`plan2code-metrics/`) for collecting run metrics, aggregating by prompt generation, diagnosing weak steps, and proposing prompt edits.
+
+Details: [Plan2Code Metrics](./.agents-docs/AGENTS-plan2code-metrics.md)
+
+## Plan2Code Status Line (Claude CLI)
+
+Optional CLI status bar (`src/statusline-claude/`) for Claude Code. Displays model, project, branch, context usage, usage stats (rate limits or token counts), git diff stats, and duration. Reads data directly from Claude Code's stdin JSON — no API calls, no auth, no background processes. Included in `Install All + dev tools` (`A`); also available via `install.js` Custom → S (opt-in).
+
+Details: [Architecture](./.agents-docs/AGENTS-architecture.md) (see Status Line section)
+
+## Development Commands
+
+Build commands, installer menu options, how the installer generates platform-specific files, platform format table, and how to edit workflow prompts.
+
+Details: [Development Commands](./.agents-docs/AGENTS-development-commands.md)
+
+## Code Style & Gotchas
+
+Language/toolchain conventions for `install.js` vs TypeScript packages, and pitfalls to avoid (version sync, `.gitignore` pre-flight, character limits, User Feedback table format).
+
+Details: [Code Style & Gotchas](./.agents-docs/AGENTS-code-style.md)
+
+## Mascot
+
+The project has a mascot called "Planny" - an ASCII art robot that appears in installer output and workflow prompts. Mascot variants are defined in `MASCOT` constant in `install.js` and appear in workflow markdown files.

 All notable changes to Plan2Code will be documented in this file.
 
+## v1.15.4
+
+### ✨ Added
+
+- **Status line: reasoning effort + context token count** — model segment now appends the current reasoning effort level (e.g. `Sonnet 5 | High`, hidden when the model doesn't support an effort parameter); context bar now shows raw input tokens used alongside the percentage (e.g. `42% (84k)`), independently toggleable via new `items.effort` / `items.contextTokens` config flags
+
+## v1.15.3
+
+### ✨ Added
+
+- **Session-end summaries across workflows** — consistent closing context in implement, document, finalize, init-update, quick-task, review, and revise-plan
+  - Implement: work summary + upcoming-phases table (task counts, goals) after each phase approval
+  - Document: phase-overview table at close to help plan sessions and review gates
+- **Sync & Maintain in init-update** — new unified doc-surface sync option (menu item #9)
+  - Covers `AGENTS.md`, `.agents-docs/`, active `specs/`, README, and human docs; tier-voice routing, never duplicates across tiers
+  - Adaptive to repo conventions — detects the human-docs tree, never assumes
+- **Research steps in plan** — domain research (Phase 1), tech-options research (Phase 4), and an investigate-to-close-gaps rule on the 90% confidence gate
+
+### 🔧 Changed
+
+- **Spec auto-discovery hardened** — replaced Glob (silently fails on gitignored `specs/`) with explicit shell `ls` across document, implement, finalize, init-update, and revise-plan
+- **Revision-mode guardrails** — `1b-revise-plan` edits restricted to `specs/` paths only; execution-shaped language removed; cleanup step added
+- **Commit-message enforcement in implement** — subject ≤100 chars, exactly three `-m` flags, no body
+- **Finalize documentation review expanded** — audits `AGENTS.md` + `.agents-docs/`, mandates corrections (not just additions), routes facts per tier voice
+- **Quality language pass** — plan demands edge cases/failure modes and measurable criteria; document and finalize role statements sharpened
+
+### 🐛 Fixed
+
+- **Review workflow next-step guard** — Review mode no longer suggests `/plan2code-3-implement` when `overview.md` and `phase-*.md` files don't exist. If the document step hasn't been run yet, it now correctly directs users to `/plan2code-2-document` first.
+
+## v1.15.2
+
+### 🔧 Changed
+
+- **Review workflow renamed** — `/plan2code-3b-review` → `/plan2code-review`
+  - Removed `3b` step-number prefix; review is now a standalone utility workflow (like `init` and `quick-task`)
+  - Source file: `src/plan2code-review.md` (was `plan2code-3b-review.md`)
+  - Reference directory: `src/plan2code-review-references/` (was `plan2code-3b-review-references/`)
+  - Updated all docs, installer config, architecture docs, and cross-references
+
+## v1.15.1
+
+### 🔧 Changed
+
+- **Zed agent support** — Added Zed to all agent support documentation
+  - `README.md` Supported Platforms list
+  - `AGENTS.md` intro and Project Overview
+  - `.agents-docs/AGENTS-development-commands.md` Platform-Specific File Formats table
+  - `install.js` Agent Skills platform label
+  - `src/plan2code-init.md` AGENTS.md template text
+
+## v1.15.0
+
+### ✨ Added
+
+- **Claude CLI status line** — Persistent three-line status bar for Claude Code, displaying model, project, git branch, uncommitted diff stats, session duration, context window usage bar, and plan/quota usage. Reads all data from Claude Code's stdin JSON — no API calls, no auth, no background processes.
+  - `src/statusline-claude/statusline.js` — self-contained: stdin parsing, config loader, ANSI formatting, orchestration
+  - `src/statusline-claude/statusline-config.json` — distributed default config
+  - `src/statusline-claude/README.md` — user docs: install, config, usage modes, troubleshooting
+  - **Planny mascot icons** on each line (`╭─╮`, `│★│`, `╰─╯`) in brand colors, with monochrome fallback
+  - **Context window bar** (12-cell `▰▱`) with configurable `autocompactBuffer` (default 33000 tokens) so the percentage reflects *usable* context, not the raw window
+  - **Adaptive plan usage segment** — auto-detects data shape:
+    - Pro/Max/Teams (rate_limits present) → `5h: NN% · 7d: NN%`
+    - Bedrock / Vertex / PAYG (no rate_limits) → `NNk in · NNk out` session tokens
+    - Segment hidden when neither is available
+  - **Real uncommitted diff stats** via `git diff HEAD --numstat` → `+NN -NN`
+  - **Color-coded thresholds** — green / yellow / red for context bar and rate limits
+  - **Separator line** rendered at fixed 55-character width for consistent alignment
+  - **Session cost display** — Estimated session cost shown next to duration (e.g. `49m ($4.62)`) via new `items.sessionCost` config (default on); reads `cost.total_cost_usd` from Claude Code stdin; hidden when zero or unavailable
+  - **Compact mode redesigned** — `"compact": true` now renders two content lines (no mascot icons, no separator) instead of one cramped single line. The single-line variant truncated in narrow terminals — the exact case compact mode was meant to help. Default remains `false`.
+  - **Silent failure** on all errors — never crashes, never blocks the CLI; 1.5s per-call timeouts on git operations; non-git workspaces short-circuit without spawning subprocesses
+- **Installer integration** — Status line included in `Install All + dev tools` (`A`); also available via `Custom → S` (opt-in).
+  - Copies `statusline.js` verbatim to `~/.claude/plan2code-statusline.js` (single-file design, no bundling)
+  - Registers in `~/.claude/settings.json` under `statusLine` via atomic temp-file + rename write
+  - Preserves existing `statusline-config.json` on reinstall
+  - Detects non-plan2code custom `statusLine` configs — prompts before replacing; auto-backs up to `statusline-previous.json`
+  - Uninstall (`U`) removes bundled script + `settings.json` entry; preserves `statusline-config.json`. Only removes `settings.statusLine` if it points to the plan2code bundle — non-plan2code entries are left intact.
+
+## v1.14.0
+
+### ✨ Added
+
+- **Review workflow (Step 3b)** — New `/plan2code-3b-review` command for comprehensive post-implementation code review
+  - 5-step process: scope detection, context analysis, 11-dimension review, spec/test assessment, summary with fix options
+  - Adaptive scope: focused (named files), branch (git diff), or full (subsystem) — auto-detected with user override
+  - 3 severity levels (Critical, Warning, Suggestion) with High-confidence-only findings
+  - Reference file architecture: orchestrator (≤11k chars) + 3 companion reference files loaded via Read directives
+  - Deep verification protocol with use-case tracing for architectural findings and adversarial self-check
+  - Detailed dimension checklists (8 non-obvious items per dimension with anti-patterns and "don't flag" guidance)
+  - False-positive catalog with detection shortcuts to prevent common false findings
+  - Finding verification gate — re-reads source at each cited line before presenting
+  - Mnemonic fix options: `H` (high-priority), `A` (all), `S` (specify by number)
+  - Post-fix Plan/Apply/Verify pipeline — enterprise-grade fix quality with full validation
+  - Doc review mode — >70% doc changes triggers editorial critique
+  - Graceful degradation for agents that can't read external files
+  - Spec-aware when `specs/` exists; works standalone for any codebase
+  - Context-aware session end with pipeline state detection
+  - Registered in installer for all 14+ platform destinations
+  - Installer copies reference directories for all 13+ platform targets
+  - Reference content inlined into TOML output (Gemini CLI) so platforms that cannot resolve runtime file reads still get full workflow depth
+  - Uninstall now removes orphaned `*-references/` directories even when prompt files were already removed manually
+  - Implement workflow session-end now suggests review after each phase
+
+## v1.13.0
+
+### 🔧 Changed
+
+- **Simplified workflow naming convention** — All workflow and skill files unified to single-dash naming, eliminating double-dash (`--`) and triple-dash (`---`) conventions
+  - Renamed 8 source prompt files in `src/` (e.g., `plan2code---init.md` → `plan2code-init.md`, `plan2code-1--plan.md` → `plan2code-1-plan.md`)
+  - Updated `install.js` `SOURCE_PROMPTS` metadata and `generateFilename()` to emit single-dash names
+  - Updated all cross-references inside workflow prompt markdown content
+  - Updated documentation: `README.md`, `QUICK-REFERENCE.md`, `AGENTS.md`, `.agents-docs/AGENTS-architecture.md`
+  - Updated tooling references in `plan2code-loop/`, `plan2code-bot/`, and `plan2code-metrics/`
+  - Fixed pre-existing broken test assertion in `plan2code-bot` step-instructions test
+  - Repaired Windows-1252 / U+FFFD encoding artifacts (em-dashes) in `plan2code-loop` and `plan2code-bot` source files
+
+### 🎁 Added
+
+- **Devin platform support** — Added Devin to supported platforms list across `README.md`, `AGENTS.md`, `install.js` Agent Skills targets, `.agents-docs/AGENTS-development-commands.md`, and the `/plan2code-init` prompt
+- **CLAUDE.md MANDATORY FIRST STEP template** — `/plan2code-init` and `/plan2code-init-update` now generate a CLAUDE.md template containing a `CRITICAL — MANDATORY FIRST STEP` directive that forces Claude Code to read AGENTS.md before responding to any user message
+
+## v1.12.0
+
+### 🔧 Changed
+
+- **Resilient code references in workflow prompts** — Workflow prompts now explicitly guide AI agents to use semantic anchors (function names, class names, code patterns) instead of line numbers, which become stale as tasks modify files during implementation
+  - **Document mode** (`plan2code-2-document.md`) — New "Code references" block in Task Writing section lists four preferred anchor types with examples; line numbers allowed only as supplemental context
+  - **Revise-plan mode** (`plan2code-1b-revise-plan.md`) — Matching code reference rule added to Step 3 (Execute Revisions) so revised and new tasks follow the same convention
+  - **Implement mode** (`plan2code-3-implement.md`) — New "Verify locations" row in Code Consistency Rules table instructs agents to treat line numbers as approximate and locate by function/symbol name
+
+## v1.11.1
+
+### 🔧 Changed
+
+- **Task complexity check in Document workflow** — Enhanced task writing guidance with lightweight cognitive complexity heuristics (inspired by PR #26)
+  - "Time-boxed" criterion now includes explicit split triggers: 5+ logic branches, 2+ integration points, or shared interface mutation
+  - New "Complexity check" prompt: before finalizing each task, LLM considers logic branches, distinct behaviors, integration points, shared interface impact, and error/edge cases
+  - Tasks complex on 3+ signals must be split; adjacent trivial tasks forming a cohesive unit should be combined
+  - Process step 7 updated to reinforce the complexity check during phase file authoring
+
+## v1.11.0
+
+### ✨ Added
+
+- **plan2code-bot** — New autonomous workflow test runner (`plan2code-bot/`) that uses the Claude Agent SDK to simulate a human running the entire plan2code workflow end-to-end
+  - Two auto-detected modes: **new-project** (generates an app idea, creates a subdirectory, runs init through finalize) and **enhancement** (scans existing codebase, proposes a realistic enhancement)
+  - `--idea` flag to seed the idea generator with a specific concept
+  - `--resume` flag to continue incomplete runs from saved state — skips previously succeeded steps and restores idea, config, and implement pass counter
+  - State file (`.plan2code-bot-state.json`) saved after each step; automatically deleted on full success, preserved on failure for later resume
+  - Resume auto-detects state files in current directory (enhancement mode) or immediate subdirectories (new-project mode)
+  - Artifact validation after each step (aborts on missing expected outputs)
+  - **LLM-as-judge evaluation system** — Always-on quality assessment that transforms bot from "yes-man" to authentic QA agent
+    - **Intelligent decision making**: Uses LLM to answer `AskUserQuestion` prompts based on current observations (tools used, files created, errors) instead of hardcoded keyword matching
+    - **Post-step evaluation**: Comprehensive quality assessment after each step using step-specific criteria (score 0-100, strengths, weaknesses, suggestions, critical issues)
+    - **Observation tracking**: Full execution history captured (tools, files, messages, errors, questions with LLM reasoning)
+    - **Quality gate**: Blocks finalization if average score < 60, ensuring minimum quality standards
+    - **Evaluation artifacts**: Creates `BOT-EVALUATION.md` (quality assessments) and `BOT-NOTES.md` (execution observations) for metrics analysis
+    - **Color-coded output**: Green (≥85), yellow (70-84), red (<70) score display in console
+    - **Honest scoring**: Evaluation criteria emphasize realistic assessment (most work scores 70-85, not inflated)
+    - **Metrics-ready data**: Structured `EvaluationResult` and `ExecutionObservation` in state file for `plan2code-metrics` analysis
+  - Bot-friendly skill installation (copies plan2code skills with `disable-model-invocation` stripped)
+  - Implement step loops up to 10 passes until all phases are complete
+  - Installer integration: `C > B` menu option to install bot CLI only
+
+## v1.10.0
+
+### ✨ Added
+
+- **Retry logic with escalating timeouts in loop controller** — Timed-out iterations now retry automatically instead of silently continuing
+  - Default base timeout reduced from 30 minutes to 3 minutes per attempt
+  - Up to 5 retry attempts per iteration (configurable via `maxRetries`)
+  - Each retry escalates timeout by +30 seconds (attempt 0 = base, attempt 1 = base + 30s, etc.)
+  - New `executeWithRetry()` method wraps `executeIteration()` with retry loop
+  - Fatal timeout (all attempts exhausted) stops the loop cleanly with a logged error
+  - Spinner displays elapsed seconds during each attempt; retries show attempt count
+  - `maxRetries` field added to `SessionConfig` and `DEFAULT_CONFIG`
+
+### 🔧 Changed
+
+- **Append-only scratchpad enforcement in loop prompt templates** — Both task-mode and phase-mode templates now explicitly prohibit editing or reorganizing existing scratchpad content
+  - Instruction changed from "append to scratchpad.md" to "add a new entry at the **bottom**"
+  - Added rule: "Never edit, reorganize, or insert into existing content — only append new entries to the end of the file"
+- **AGENTS.md restructured into progressive discovery format** — AGENTS.md converted to a lightweight index with summaries and markdown links; full detail moved to `.agents-docs/` section files
+  - `.agents-docs/AGENTS-architecture.md` — Architecture overview and key design decisions
+  - `.agents-docs/AGENTS-code-style.md` — Code style conventions
+  - `.agents-docs/AGENTS-development-commands.md` — Development commands and setup
+  - `.agents-docs/AGENTS-plan2code-loop.md` — Loop CLI architecture and commands
+  - `.agents-docs/AGENTS-plan2code-metrics.md` — Metrics toolchain details
+  - `init-update` prompt updated with `.agents-docs/` detection in pre-flight check
+- **Agents mode emoji updated** — Loop controller agents-mode indicator changed from wheel to hammer
+
+## v1.9.1
+
+### ✨ Added
+
+- **Pi (pi.dev) platform support** — New target for the Pi terminal-based coding agent
+  - Local prompt templates installed to `.pi/prompts/` (flat `.md` with YAML `description` frontmatter)
+  - Global prompt templates installed to `~/.pi/agent/prompts/`
+  - Pi users already get skill support via existing `.agents/skills/` target; this adds native slash command access
+  - No new helper functions needed — Pi uses the same flat-file-with-YAML pattern as Windsurf, Copilot CLI, and Codeium
+
+### 📚 Documentation
+
+- `AGENTS.md` Platform-Specific File Formats table updated with Pi row
+- `README.md` Supported Platforms list updated with Pi (pi.dev)
+## v1.9.0
+
+### ✨ Added
+
+- **Progressive discovery for AGENTS.md** — Init and init-update prompts now generate AGENTS.md as a lightweight index with summaries and markdown links, plus `.agents-docs/` section files containing full detail
+  - **Init prompt** — New `## Progressive Discovery` section defines index format, always-inline sections (Project Overview, Git Commit Messages, How to Use This File), `.agents-docs/` directory setup, grouping heuristics, and opt-in restructure offer for existing single-file AGENTS.md
+  - **Init-update prompt** — `.agents-docs/` detection in pre-flight check, legacy migration offer, edit routing (inline sections → AGENTS.md, detailed sections → `.agents-docs/` files), section file lifecycle (create, delete, orphan cleanup), enhanced summary with file count, new update rule 9 (route edits to correct file)
+  - **Reference templates** updated in both prompts to include `.agents-docs/` in the bullet list
+  - **"How to Use This File"** added as a required content section in generated AGENTS.md files
+
+## v1.8.2
+
+### 🐛 Fixed
+
+- **Inflated metrics task counts** — Metrics collector regex now matches only `**Task X.N:**` checkbox items instead of all checkboxes, fixing ~100-200% count inflation from prerequisite and acceptance criteria checkboxes
+  - `collectStep2` (`tasks_per_phase`) uses Task-pattern-only regex
+  - `collectStep3` (`phaseTotal`, `phaseCompleted`, `blockerCount`) all use Task-pattern-only regex
+  - Step 4 overview fallback left unchanged (correctly counts Phase Checklist checkboxes)
+
+### 🔧 Changed
+
+- **Document workflow** — Checkbox format `- [ ]` now restricted to Task items only; Prerequisites, Acceptance Criteria, and Success Criteria use plain bullet lists (no checkboxes)
+- **Implement workflow** — Prerequisite verification changed from checkbox-based (`[x]`/`[?]`/`[!]`) to inline annotation approach (`VERIFIED`/`ASSUMED: [reason]`/`BLOCKED: [reason]`); added clarifying note that checkbox states apply to Task items and Phase Checklist only
+- **Finalize workflow** — Task completion audit now specifies counting only `**Task X.N:**` checkbox items
+- **Loop prompt templates** — Both task-mode and phase-mode templates updated: prerequisites use plain bullets with inline annotations instead of checkboxes; Checkbox States section scoped to "Task items only"
+
+## v1.8.1
+
+### ✨ Added
+
+- **User feedback collection** — Optional 1-10 rating with reason, what went well, and what went poorly
+  - Finalize prompt (Step 5) asks for optional feedback before archival, writes structured table to `overview.md`
+  - Collector parses `## User Feedback` table from `overview.md` into `RunMetrics.user_feedback`
+  - Aggregator computes `avg_user_rating` and `feedback_count` per cohort
+  - CLI offers interactive feedback collection if none found during metrics collection
+  - Analysis and improvement prompts reference `avg_user_rating` metric target (≥ 7.0)
+  - `UserFeedback` type exported from public API
+- **Pipe-safe feedback parsing** — User text containing `|` characters is escaped on write and correctly unescaped on parse using negative lookbehind regex
+
+### 🐛 Fixed
+
+- **Duplicate run files** — Interactive feedback no longer creates a second run JSON; the original is deleted before re-collecting
+- **Finalize step ordering** — Feedback collection moved to Step 5 (before archival at Step 6), ensuring `overview.md` is written while still in the active spec directory
+
+## v1.8.0
+
+### ✨ Added
+
+- **plan2code-metrics** — New recursive self-improvement toolchain for plan2code contributors (`plan2code-metrics/`)
+  - Fully interactive menu-driven CLI — no flags, all inputs collected via prompts
+  - **Collect** metrics from completed project specs (plan, document, implement, finalize steps)
+  - **Import** run data from other projects for cross-project aggregation
+  - **View** metrics status with health indicators and generation-over-generation deltas
+  - **Analyze** weak steps via AI-powered diagnosis (Claude Code or GitHub Copilot CLI)
+  - **Generate** surgical improvement proposals with automatic validation (char count limits, edit verification)
+  - **Review and apply** proposals with interactive diff review
+  - Cohort-based aggregation groups runs by prompt generation (SHA fingerprint of prompt files)
+  - Supports both Claude Code and GitHub Copilot CLI as AI backends
+  - Standalone TypeScript package with tsup build (ESM), installed via `npm link`
+
+### 🔧 Changed
+
+- **plan2code-4--finalize.md** — Added "Metrics Capture (Contributors)" note in Step 6 directing contributors to run `plan2code-metrics` after finalization
+- **plan2code-loop index.ts** — Added dim hint "run plan2code-metrics" after session summary
+
+## v1.7.0
+
+### ✨ Added
+
+- **4 new platform targets** — Gemini CLI, Crush, Amp, and OpenCode now supported
+  - Gemini CLI installs as TOML commands (`.gemini/commands/plan2code-*.toml`)
+  - Crush installs as skill subdirs (`~/.config/crush/skills/` on Unix, `%LOCALAPPDATA%\crush\skills\` on Windows)
+  - Amp and OpenCode covered via shared Agent Skills target (`.agents/skills/`)
+- **Claude Code Skills format** — Migrated from flat `.claude/commands/*.md` to `.claude/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md` with `disable-model-invocation: true` frontmatter
+- **Agent Skills cross-tool target** — Single `.agents/skills/` install covers Amp, Gemini CLI, and OpenCode simultaneously
+- **Legacy cleanup** — Old `.claude/commands/plan2code-*.md` files automatically removed on install and uninstall
+- **TOML generation** — New `generateTomlContent()` produces Gemini CLI command files using TOML literal multi-line strings
+
+### 🔧 Changed
+
+- `AGENTS.md` Platform-Specific File Formats table expanded to 5 columns with 4 new platform rows
+- `docs/index.html` hero section updated with 4 new platform pills
+- `README.md` Supported Platforms list updated with 4 new platforms
+
+## v1.6.2
+
+### 🔧 Changed
+
+- **Installer menu simplified** — Replaced the 7-platform picker with a clean 4-option menu (I/U/C/Q)
+  - `I` — Install Plan2Code for all platforms + loop CLI
+  - `U` — Uninstall (with confirmation prompt)
+  - `C` — CUSTOM sub-menu: `L` (local install instructions), `O` (loop CLI only), `Q` (back)
+  - `Q` — Quit
+  - Any CLI arguments (e.g. `--dry-run`, `--platform`) are now silently ignored; installer always runs interactively
+- **README installation section** — npx install method promoted to primary recommended install path; updated menu example
+
+### 🗑️ Removed
+
+- CLI flags `--dry-run`, `--platform`, `--local`, `--uninstall`, `--help`, `--loop`, `--uninstall-loop` (all removed; installer is always interactive)
+- `displayHelp()` function removed from `install.js`
+
+## v1.6.1
+
+### ✨ Added
+
+- **NPX installation support** - Team members can now install directly from GitHub without cloning
+  - Added `name`, `version`, and `bin` fields to `package.json` for npm compatibility

+
+## v1.6.0
+
+### 🏎️ Improved
+
+- **Reduced workflow file sizes** - All 4 over-target source prompts compressed to ≤ 11,000 characters for Windsurf IDE compatibility (12,000 char limit minus header buffer)
+  - `plan2code-3--implement.md` - 14,806 → 8,533 chars (42% reduction)
+  - `plan2code-1--plan.md` - 13,587 → 10,348 chars (24% reduction)
+  - `plan2code-4--finalize.md` - 12,012 → 8,586 chars (29% reduction)
+  - `plan2code-2--document.md` - 11,842 → 9,031 chars (24% reduction)
+  - All functional workflow behavior preserved
+  - Compression techniques: template-to-section-list specs, removed bad examples, consolidated redundant sections, simplified decorative boxes, imperative directives
+
+### 🧪 Testing
+
+- **Pre-commit character count validation** - Husky pre-commit hook prevents workflow files from exceeding 11,000 characters
+  - `scripts/validate-char-count.js` - Cross-platform Node.js validation script using only built-in modules
+  - `.husky/pre-commit` - Git hook trigger calling the validation script
+  - Root `package.json` with husky as sole devDependency (`private: true`)
+  - `.gitignore` updated with `node_modules/` and `package-lock.json`
+
+## v1.5.4
+
+### ✨ Added
+
+- **AI Assisted commit attribution** - All git commit messages now include an `AI Assisted` footer for transparency
+  - **Init mode** - Generated AGENTS.md files include a Git Commit Messages section instructing agents to always append `AI Assisted`
+  - **Init-update mode** - New "Git Commit Messages" menu option (option 7) for adding or modifying commit message conventions
+  - **Loop task mode** - `createTaskCommit()` automatically appends `AI Assisted` footer to every commit
+  - **Loop phase mode** - Prompt template instructs LLM to include `-m "AI Assisted"` as final flag on every commit
+  - **Implement mode** - User-facing git commit suggestions after phase approval include `-m "AI Assisted"`
+
+### 🔧 Changed
+
+- **README loop install instructions** - Replaced inline text with formatted code block showing both install options
+
+## v1.5.3
+
+### ✨ Added
+
+- **Loop mode selection** - Plan2Code Loop now asks users to choose between two loop modes:
+  - **One task per loop** (default) - Each agent invocation implements exactly one task. Node controller handles git commits after each task. Same behavior as before.
+  - **One phase per loop** - Each agent invocation implements all remaining tasks in the current phase. The LLM handles git commits after each task (with JIRA ticket ID). Ideal for related tasks and smart models with higher context windows.
+- **Phase-mode prompt template** - New `LOOP_PROMPT_TEMPLATE_PHASE` instructs the LLM to complete all tasks in the current phase, create git commits per task, and output `TASK_COMPLETE` markers for each
+- **Multi-marker completion detection** - New `checkForAllCompletions()` function parses all `TASK_COMPLETE`, `TASK_BLOCKED`, and `PREREQ_COMPLETE` markers from a single agent output
+- **`PHASE_COMPLETE` marker** - New completion marker for phase mode indicating current phase is done (distinct from `LOOP_COMPLETE` which means all phases done)
+- **`loopMode` config field** - New `SessionConfig.loopMode` field (`'task' | 'phase'`) persisted in session state for resume support
+- **Documentation auto-discovery** - Documentation workflow now auto-discovers features to document
+  - Automatically finds `specs/*/PLAN-DRAFT-*.md` files
+  - If only one feature exists, uses it without prompting
+  - If multiple features exist, presents list and asks user to choose
+  - Automatically reads `PLAN-CONVERSATION-*.md` if present (optional, for context)
+- **Documentation Verification Pass** - Documentation workflow now cross-references against PLAN-DRAFT before finalizing
+  - New Process Step 7 with sub-steps: 7A (re-read PLAN-DRAFT), 7B (cross-reference sections), 7C (fix gaps), 7D (output summary)
+  - New "Documentation Verification Pass" section with mapping table showing which PLAN-DRAFT sections to verify against which spec files
+  - Gap handling: Missing items added with `<!-- VERIFICATION: Added - FR-X from PLAN-DRAFT -->` markers
+  - Session end output now includes verification summary table showing Items in PLAN-DRAFT / Covered / Added per section
+  - Added reminders: "Always run verification pass before finalizing" and "PLAN-DRAFT is the source of truth"
+- **Conversation Logging** - Planning workflow now saves the full planning conversation before creating PLAN-DRAFT
+  - New file: `specs/<feature-name>/PLAN-CONVERSATION-<YYYYMMDD>.md` created in Phase 7
+  - Contains full conversation transcript organized by phase with speaker attribution (`[AGENT]` vs `[USER RESPONSE]`)
+  - Decision summary tables with user quotes, confirmed requirements, approved technologies, and assumptions
+  - Serves as source of truth for plan verification
+- **PLAN-DRAFT Verification Pass** - New STEP 7C verifies PLAN-DRAFT against conversation log
+  - Cross-references all requirements, tech decisions, risks, and assumptions
+  - Missing items added with `<!-- VERIFICATION: Added from Phase X -->` markers
+  - Outputs verification summary showing what was captured vs added
+- **Conversation Log field in PLAN-DRAFT** - New header field links to the conversation log file
+
+### 🔧 Changed
+
+- **Installer default option** - Pressing Enter without selecting an option now defaults to `A` (Install to ALL platforms + loop CLI) instead of quitting
+- **Planning output location changed** - PLAN-DRAFT and conversation log now created in feature subdirectory
+  - New location: `specs/<feature-name>/PLAN-DRAFT-<date>.md` and `specs/<feature-name>/PLAN-CONVERSATION-<date>.md`
+  - Date format: YYYYMMDD (e.g., `20250204`) instead of full timestamp
+  - Uppercase `PLAN-CONVERSATION` for consistency with `PLAN-DRAFT`
+  - Feature directory created during planning (Step 1) instead of documentation (Step 2)
+  - Documentation step no longer archives PLAN-DRAFT (already in correct location)
+- **Planning Phase 7 restructured** - Now has three sub-steps:
+  - STEP 7A: Save Conversation Log (new)
+  - STEP 7B: Create PLAN-DRAFT (existing behavior, uses same timestamp)
+  - STEP 7C: Verification Pass (new)
+- **Session End example updated** - Now shows both conversation log and PLAN-DRAFT files
+- **Important Reminders expanded** - Added reminders about conversation log and verification pass
+
+### 🐛 Fixed
+
+- **`.gitignore` missing `specs/` entries in phase mode** - `ensureGitignore()` only ran inside `createTaskCommit()`, which is never called in phase mode. Moved `ensureGitRepo()` and `ensureGitignore()` to run once at startup in `Controller.run()` as a pre-flight step, ensuring `.gitignore` entries are set before the first iteration regardless of loop mode
+
+## v1.5.2
+
+### ✨ Added
+
+- **AI Agent File Sync** - Init and Init-Update workflows now detect and sync other AI agent config files
+  - Detects 6 file types: CLAUDE.md, GEMINI.md, .cursorrules, .github/copilot-instructions.md, .cursor/rules/, .windsurf/rules/
+  - Offers to replace with references to AGENTS.md as single source of truth
+  - User confirmation required before any modifications
+  - Correct relative paths for each file location (./AGENTS.md, ../AGENTS.md, ../../AGENTS.md)
+- **Knowledge Transfer** - Init mode now uses existing CLAUDE.md content as context when creating new AGENTS.md
+  - Preserves project knowledge during migration to AGENTS.md
+
+## v1.5.1
+
+### ✨ Added
+
+- **Prerequisite verification workflow** - Agents now verify/complete prerequisites before starting phase tasks
+  - Implementation mode processes prerequisites in order: verify, complete, or mark assumed
+  - Loop prompt treats prerequisites as "Task 0.X" - one per iteration before tasks
+  - New completion markers: `PREREQ_COMPLETE` and `PREREQ_ASSUMED`
+- **New checkbox state `[?]`** - "Assumed complete, couldn't verify" for prerequisites that can't be validated
+  - Use when prerequisite cannot be programmatically verified (e.g., "Design approved by stakeholder")
+  - Agents skip `[?]` items like `[x]` items
+- **Re-opened phase handling in Revision mode** - Properly handle adding tasks to completed phases
+  - New "Re-opening" impact type (Medium-High risk) in impact assessment
+  - New tasks in completed phases get `🆕 ADDED` flag
+  - Phase checkbox changes from `[x]` to `[ ]` in overview.md when new tasks added
+  - "Phases Re-opened" section in revision summary
+  - Consistency check now verifies phase completion status matches task completion
+
+### 🔧 Changed
+
+- **Installer UI refresh** - Cleaner, narrower layout for better terminal compatibility
+  - Narrower menu boxes (65 characters instead of 76)
+  - Smaller mascot display at end of installation
+  - Added first-time user documentation link after successful install
+  - Updated menu descriptions to show "+ loop CLI" for relevant options
+- **Planning workflow guardrails** - Prevent users from skipping the documentation step
+  - Added critical reminder after Phase 7 to direct to `/plan2code-2--document`
+  - Added workflow order reminder in Session End section: Plan → Document → Implement → Finalize
+  - Updated example closing message to emphasize documentation as next step
+  - Added workflow order to Important Reminders section
+- **AGENTS.md pre-flight message** - Improved guidance for new projects
+  - Message now explains that new projects can continue without AGENTS.md
+  - Suggests creating basic AGENTS.md first with rules can still be valuable
+
+## v1.5.0 - 2026-01-22
+
+### ✨ Added
+
+- **Plan2Code Loop** - New autonomous CLI tool for hands-off spec implementation
+  - Separate Node.js/TypeScript tool in `plan2code-loop/` directory
+  - LLM-driven task discovery - AI reads spec files and finds unchecked tasks
+  - Iterates through tasks one at a time, marking checkboxes as complete
+  - Structured completion markers: `TASK_COMPLETE: 1.1 - description`
+  - Session persistence with scratchpad and iteration logging
+  - Supports Claude Code and GitHub Copilot CLI agents
+- **Installer integration** for loop CLI
+  - Option `A` now installs prompts to all platforms AND builds/links the loop CLI
+  - Option `O` builds and links plan2code-loop CLI only
+  - Option `U` uninstalls prompts AND unlinks the loop CLI
+
+### 📝 Documentation
+
+- Updated README.md with "Autonomous Loop" section explaining when to use loop vs manual Step 3
+- Updated QUICK-REFERENCE.md with loop commands and decision tree
+- Updated AGENTS.md with loop architecture, commands, and completion markers
+
+## v1.4.0 - 2026-01-09
+
+### ✨ Added
+
+- **Parallel Phase Execution** - Run multiple implementation phases simultaneously in separate agent instances
+  - Documentation Mode auto-detects parallel-eligible phases based on file conflicts and dependencies
+  - Implementation Mode presents phase selection UI when parallel options are available
+  - New "Parallel Execution Groups" section in `overview.md` tracks which phases can run together
+  - Conflict detection criteria: file overlap, prerequisite dependencies, data/output dependencies, shared state
+  - Users can start multiple `/plan2code-3--implement` sessions to work on different parallel phases
+- **In-Progress Phase Tracking** - Track which phases are actively being worked on
+  - New `[/]` checkbox status indicates a phase is in-progress (between `[ ]` pending and `[x]` complete)
+  - Phases marked `[/]` when an agent starts working, `[x]` when user approves completion
+  - Aborted phases stay `[/]` to enable resume - never reset back to `[ ]`
+  - Parallel selection UI shows `[IN PROGRESS]` vs `[AVAILABLE]` status for each phase
+  - Single in-progress phase prompts user to confirm resume (prevents accidental overlap)
+  - Supports multiple agent sessions on parallel phases with clear visibility of what's active
+
+### 🔧 Changed
+
+- **Documentation Mode process** - Added step 6 "Analyze phases for parallel execution eligibility"
+- **Implementation Mode detection** - Now checks for parallel siblings before starting phase
+- **Implementation Mode phase selection** - 4-case decision logic for parallel, resume, auto-start scenarios
+- **Session end summaries** - Documentation Mode now reports parallel execution groups
+- **Abort handling** - Phases remain `[/]` on abort with clear resume instructions

 ## Key Rules
 
 - Start NEW conversation for each step (and each implementation phase)
-- ONE phase per conversation
+- ONE phase per conversation (but parallel phases can run in separate instances)
 - Reply "approved" to complete phases
 - 90% confidence required before planning completes
 - Never look in `specs--completed/` (it's archived specs)
 
+## Phase Status
+
+| Checkbox | Status | Meaning |
+|----------|--------|---------|
+| `[ ]` | Pending | Not started |
+| `[/]` | In Progress | Agent working (or paused) |
+| `[x]` | Complete | Approved |
+
+## Parallel Execution
+
+When phases have no file conflicts or dependencies, they can run simultaneously:
+
+1. Documentation Mode auto-detects parallel-eligible phases
+2. Implementation Mode shows selection UI with status for each phase
+3. Run multiple `/plan2code-3-implement` instances on different phases
+4. `[/]` status shows which phases are actively being worked on

+## Autonomous Loop (Alternative)
+
+The `plan2code-loop` CLI is an **alternative** to Step 3, not a replacement.
+
+| Approach | Use When |
+|----------|----------|
+| `/plan2code-3-implement` | You want interactive control per phase |
+| `plan2code-loop` | You want hands-off autonomous execution |
+
+```bash
+plan2code-loop   # Fully interactive - auto-detects specs, prompts for options
+```
+
+### Loop Modes
+
+| Mode | Description |
+|------|-------------|
+| **One task per loop** (default) | One task per agent invocation. Node handles git commits. |
+| **One phase per loop** | All tasks in a phase per invocation. LLM handles git commits. Best for smart models with larger context. |
+
+Session state stored per-spec in `specs/<feature>/.plan2code-loop/`

+### Review Mode 🔬 (Optional)
+
+**Purpose:** Comprehensive post-implementation code review with adaptive scope and spec compliance checking.
+
+**AI Role:** Critical review specialist -- independent second opinion
+
+**When to use:** After completing implementation phases, especially key features or milestones. Can be run after any phase, not just before finalization.
+
+**What it does:**
+
+1. Determines review scope — detects conversation context, user-specified scope, or gathers git changes as fallback
+2. Understands context and determines review strategy
+3. Analyzes across 11 dimensions (correctness, security, performance, spec compliance, etc.)

+
+- Uses companion reference files for deep verification, detailed dimension checklists, and false-positive detection (loaded automatically during review)
+- Reviews all changed files across 11 dimensions; prioritizes by risk when batches exceed 50 files
+- Spec-aware when `specs/` exists; works standalone without specs
+- Review phase is read-only; fixes only on user request with verification

+## Autonomous Loop (Alternative to Step 3)
+
+For hands-off implementation, Plan2Code includes an optional autonomous loop CLI that iterates through your spec tasks automatically.
+
+> **Note:** The loop is an **alternative** to `/plan2code-3-implement`, not a replacement. Use the manual Step 3 workflow when you want direct control over each phase, or use the loop when you prefer autonomous execution.
+
+### When to Use Each
+
+| Approach | Best For |
+|----------|----------|
+| `/plan2code-3-implement` | Interactive control, reviewing each phase, complex logic requiring human judgment |
+| `plan2code-loop` | Straightforward implementations, batch processing, overnight runs |
+
+### Installing the Loop
+
+```bash
+# From the plan2code root directory:
+
+# Option 1: Install everything (recommended)
+node install.js  # Select I at the menu
+
+# Option 2: Install loop only
+node install.js  # Select C, then O at the menu
+```
+
+### Using the Loop
+
+```bash
+# Run the loop - fully interactive
+plan2code-loop
+```
+
+The CLI will:
+1. Auto-detect specs in `./specs/` directory
+2. Let you select a spec if multiple are found
+3. Prompt to continue if an existing session is found
+4. Ask for JIRA ticket ID, agent selection, loop mode, and max iterations
+
+### Loop Modes
+
+| Mode | Behavior | Git Commits | Best For |
+|------|----------|-------------|----------|
+| **One task per loop** (default) | Each agent call implements one task | Node controller commits after each task | Smaller models, cautious execution |
+| **One phase per loop** | Each agent call implements all tasks in a phase | LLM commits after each task (with JIRA ID) | Smart models with larger context windows, related tasks |
+
+Session state is stored per-spec in `specs/<feature>/.plan2code-loop/`, keeping each feature's progress isolated.
+
+The loop will:
+1. Read your `overview.md` and phase files
+2. Find the first unchecked task (or phase, in phase mode)
+3. Implement it and mark the checkbox complete
+4. Repeat until all tasks are done or max iterations reached
+
+See [plan2code-loop/](plan2code-loop/) for full documentation.

+# Changelog
+
+## 1.1.0
+
+### Resume support
+- Add `--resume` flag to continue incomplete runs from saved state
+- Skip previously succeeded steps when resuming (init, plan, document, implement, finalize)
+- Restore idea name, description, project directory, and implement pass counter from state
+- Auto-detect state files in current directory (enhancement mode) or subdirectories (new-project mode)
+- Delete state file automatically after a fully successful run
+- Preserve state file on failure for later resume
+- Add `deleteState()` and `findExistingState()` utilities to bot-state module
+- Add bot-state unit tests (saveState, loadState, deleteState, findExistingState)
+
+### Idea generation improvements
+- Expand idea categories from binary CLI/web-app coin flip to 12 diverse categories (games, dashboards, browser extensions, desktop utilities, etc.)
+- Add guidance to avoid defaulting to developer-centric tools (git analyzers, code formatters)
+- Strengthen `--idea` seed clause so the LLM stays aligned with the user's theme instead of ignoring it
+- Update system prompt to encourage creative, cross-domain ideas
+
+### Init step overhaul (new projects)
+- Init now creates a minimal AGENTS.md stub (name, description, status) instead of running the full `/plan2code-init` skill
+- Prevents hallucinated architecture, commands, and `.agents-docs/` files before the plan step runs
+- Init evaluation criteria updated to reward minimalism and penalize premature detail
+
+### Implement step overhaul
+- Implement step now works directly with Read/Write/Edit/Glob/Grep tools instead of delegating to Skill sub-session
+- Inlined step-by-step process: find specs, pick phase, implement tasks, mark checkboxes
+- Fixes issue where Skill sub-sessions did all work invisibly, causing zero tool observations
+
+### Observation tracking fix
+- Capture `tool_use` blocks from the assistant message stream in session-runner as a fallback when `canUseTool` callback doesn't fire
+- Add deduplication in ObservationCollector to prevent double-counting from both sources
+- Fixes all steps reporting 0 tools used / 0 files created in BOT-NOTES and evaluations
+
+### Evaluator improvements
+- Increase evaluator `maxTurns` from 3 to 30 so it has room for tool calls before producing the scored response
+- Add warning log when evaluation parser can't find SCORE in output (was silently defaulting to 50)
+
+## 1.0.0
+
+- Initial release
+- Two auto-detected modes: new-project and enhancement
+- `--idea` flag to seed the idea generator
+- Full workflow execution: init → plan → document → implement → finalize
+- Artifact validation after each step
+- State persistence to `.plan2code-bot-state.json`
+- Auto-responder for autonomous Claude Agent SDK sessions
+- Bot-friendly skill installation (strips `disable-model-invocation`)

+# LLM-as-Judge Evaluation System
+
+## Overview
+
+The plan2code-bot now includes an **always-on LLM-as-judge evaluation system** that transforms it from a "yes-man" into an authentic QA agent. This provides realistic quality signals for `plan2code-metrics` to analyze and drive recursive self-improvement.
+
+## Key Features
+
+### 1. Intelligent Decision Making (Real-Time)
+
+**What:** During execution, when `AskUserQuestion` is called, the bot uses an LLM to make thoughtful decisions based on current observations.
+
+**How it works:**
+- Collects observations up to the current point (tools used, files created, errors)
+- Queries LLM with context: "Given what you've seen, should you approve this plan?"
+- LLM inspects current artifacts using Read/Glob/Grep
+- Returns evidence-based answer with reasoning
+- All decisions are recorded for metrics analysis
+
+**Example:**
+```
+Question: "Approve this plan?"
+Observations: Created PLAN-DRAFT.md, 3 phases, 42s duration, no errors
+LLM reads PLAN-DRAFT.md, evaluates quality
+LLM decides: "Yes, approve - phases are well-scoped and realistic"
+```
+
+### 2. Post-Step Evaluation
+
+**What:** After each step completes, the bot evaluates quality using step-specific criteria.
+
+**How it works:**
+- Collects complete execution observations
+- Queries LLM with evaluation criteria for the step
+- LLM inspects final artifacts
+- Returns structured evaluation (score, strengths, weaknesses, suggestions)
+- Writes `specs/<feature>/BOT-EVALUATION.md` and `specs/<feature>/BOT-NOTES.md` (falls back to project root if no spec folder exists yet, e.g. during `init`)
+
+**Example output:**
+```markdown
+# Evaluation: plan Step
+
+**Score:** 78/100
+
+## Strengths
+- Clear phase breakdown with realistic scope
+- Tech stack choices appropriate
+
+## Weaknesses
+- Phase 3 description too vague
+- No testing strategy mentioned
+
+## Suggestions
+- Expand Phase 3 with concrete tasks
+- Add explicit testing phase
+```
+
+### 3. Quality Gate
+
+**What:** Before finalize, checks that average quality score is acceptable.
+
+**How it works:**
+- Calculates average score across all evaluated steps
+- If average < 60, blocks finalization
+- Displays clear message about quality issues
+- User must review `specs/<feature>/BOT-EVALUATION.md` and fix problems
+
+## Files Created
+
+### New Files
+
+1. **`src/observation-collector.ts`**
+   - Tracks execution details (tools, files, messages, errors, questions)
+   - Provides snapshots for real-time decisions
+   - Captures complete history for evaluation
+
+2. **`src/intelligent-responder.ts`**
+   - Replaces hardcoded auto-responder
+   - Uses LLM to answer AskUserQuestion prompts
+   - Provides reasoning for all decisions
+   - Falls back gracefully if LLM unavailable
+
+3. **`src/prompts/evaluation-criteria.ts`**
+   - Step-specific evaluation criteria (init, plan, document, implement, finalize)
+   - Quality checks, common pitfalls, scoring guidance
+   - Emphasizes honest scoring (most work should score 70-85)
+
+4. **`src/evaluator.ts`**
+   - Post-step evaluation using LLM-as-judge
+   - Queries LLM with observations and criteria
+   - Parses structured evaluation output
+   - Writes `specs/<feature>/BOT-EVALUATION.md` and `specs/<feature>/BOT-NOTES.md`
+
+### Modified Files
+
+1. **`src/types.ts`**
+   - Added interfaces: `ToolObservation`, `QuestionContext`, `ExecutionObservation`, `EvaluationResult`
+   - Extended `StepResult` with `evaluation` and `observations` fields
+
+2. **`src/session-runner.ts`**
+   - Added `collector` parameter to `SessionOptions`
+   - Returns `observations` in `SessionResult`
+   - Records all messages for observation tracking
+   - Uses intelligent responder instead of auto-responder
+
+3. **`src/cli.ts`**
+   - Creates `ObservationCollector` for each step
+   - Always runs evaluation after successful steps
+   - Displays scores with color coding (green/yellow/red)
+   - Implements quality gate before finalize
+   - Shows evaluation summary in step output
+
+4. **`src/bin/plan2code-bot.ts`**
+   - Updated help text to mention LLM-as-judge evaluation
+   - No new CLI flags (evaluation is always on)
+
+### Deleted Files
+
+1. **`src/auto-responder.ts`** - Replaced by intelligent-responder.ts
+2. **`src/auto-responder.test.ts`** - No longer needed
+
+## Output Files (Created During Execution)
+
+Both files are written to `specs/<feature>/` so they stay co-located with the feature they describe. If no spec folder exists yet (e.g. during `init`), they fall back to the project root.
+
+### BOT-EVALUATION.md
+
+Contains evaluation results for each step:
+- Score (0-100)
+- Strengths identified
+- Weaknesses found
+- Suggestions for improvement
+- Critical issues (if any)
+- Full reasoning from LLM
+
+### BOT-NOTES.md
+
+Contains execution observations:
+- Duration, tool counts, file changes
+- Questions asked and LLM reasoning for answers
+- Tool usage timeline
+- Files created/modified
+- Assistant output summary
+
+## Data Structure for Metrics
+
+All evaluation data is structured in `StepResult`:
+
+```typescript
+{
+  step: 'plan',
+  success: true,
+  duration: 42000,
+  evaluation: {
+    score: 78,
+    strengths: ["Clear phases", "Realistic scope"],
+    weaknesses: ["Phase 3 too vague"],
+    suggestions: ["Add specific tasks to Phase 3"],
+    criticalIssues: [],
+    reasoning: "...",
+    timestamp: 1234567890,
+    evaluatorModel: 'claude-sonnet-4-5'
+  },
+  observations: {
+    tools: [{ toolName, input, output, timestamp }, ...],
+    questionsAsked: [
+      {
+        question: "Approve plan?",
+        selectedAnswer: "Yes, approve",
+        llmReasoning: "Phases are well-scoped...",
+        timestamp: 1234567890
+      }
+    ],
+    filesCreated: [...],
+    filesModified: [...],
+    errors: []
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Benefits for Recursive Improvement
+
+1. **Authentic Signals:** Real quality scores identify actual problem areas
+2. **Detailed Context:** Observations + reasoning explain WHY failures happen
+3. **Correlation Analysis:** Link patterns (tool usage, duration, errors) to quality
+4. **Continuous Loop:** Better metrics → improved workflows → higher scores → repeat
+
+## Usage
+
+No special flags needed - evaluation is always on:
+
+```bash
+# New project
+plan2code-bot --idea "todo app"
+
+# Enhancement
+cd my-project && plan2code-bot
+
+# Resume with evaluation data preserved
+plan2code-bot --resume
+```
+
+## Verification
+
+After running the bot, check:
+
+1. **`specs/<feature>/BOT-EVALUATION.md`** - Should show realistic scores (not all 100s)
+2. **`specs/<feature>/BOT-NOTES.md`** - Should show LLM reasoning for decisions
+3. **Console output** - Should display color-coded scores after each step
+4. **State file** (`.plan2code-bot-state.json`) - Should include evaluation data
+
+## Trade-offs
+
+### Latency
+- Adds ~2-3s per AskUserQuestion call (~15-20s total per run)
+- Worth it for authentic evaluation
+
+### Token Cost
+- ~20-26K tokens per run (~$0.60 with Opus 4.6)
+- Investment pays off through metrics-driven improvement
+
+### Determinism
+- LLM decisions vary between runs (non-deterministic)
+- Realistic - humans vary too
+- Metrics average over many runs
+
+## Future Enhancements
+
+Potential improvements:
+- Model selection per step (use Haiku for simple decisions)
+- Configurable quality gate threshold
+- Historical score tracking across runs
+- Comparison with previous evaluations
+- More sophisticated scoring (weighted by step importance)

+# plan2code-bot
+
+Autonomous workflow test runner for plan2code. Uses the Claude Agent SDK to simulate a human running through the entire plan2code workflow (init, plan, document, implement, finalize) end-to-end.
+
+## Two Modes (Auto-Detected)
+
+1. **New Project Mode** — No `AGENTS.md` in cwd: generates an app idea, creates a subdirectory, writes IDEA.md, runs init, then all 4 steps.
+2. **Enhancement Mode** — `AGENTS.md` exists in cwd: scans the existing codebase and proposes a realistic enhancement, writes IDEA.md, then runs plan through finalize.
+
+## Installation
+
+From the plan2code root:
+
+```bash
+node install.js
+# Select C > B to install bot only, or I to install everything
+```
+
+Or manually:
+
+```bash
+cd plan2code-bot
+npm install
+npm run build
+npm link
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+```bash
+# New project mode (run from an empty directory)
+mkdir /tmp/test-bot && cd /tmp/test-bot
+plan2code-bot
+
+# Enhancement mode (run from an existing project with AGENTS.md)
+cd my-project
+plan2code-bot
+
+# Seed the idea generator with a specific concept
+plan2code-bot --idea "web app that displays the current weather as vector images"
+
+# Resume a previous incomplete run
+plan2code-bot --resume
+```
+
+### `--idea`
+
+Pass a quoted string after `--idea` to seed the idea generator with a specific concept. The AI will use it as inspiration rather than generating a completely random idea. Wrap the value in double quotes so the shell treats it as a single argument.
+
+```bash
+# Specific app concept
+plan2code-bot --idea "web app that displays the current weather as vector images"
+
+# Short keyword to nudge the category
+plan2code-bot --idea "markdown editor"
+
+# Detailed constraint
+plan2code-bot --idea "CLI tool that converts CSV files to SQLite databases with type inference"
+
+# Works in enhancement mode too — guides what kind of enhancement to propose
+cd my-existing-project
+plan2code-bot --idea "add dark mode support"
+```
+
+Without `--idea`, the bot picks a random category (CLI tool or web app) and invents something on its own.
+
+### `--resume`
+
+Resume a previous incomplete run. The bot searches for a `.plan2code-bot-state.json` file in the current directory (enhancement mode) or in immediate subdirectories (new-project mode). If found, it restores the idea, config, and progress — skipping steps that already succeeded and continuing from where it left off.
+
+```bash
+# A run failed at the implement step — resume it
+plan2code-bot --resume
+
+# Can combine with --idea (idea is ignored when resuming since it's restored from state)
+plan2code-bot --resume --idea "ignored when state exists"
+```
+
+If no state file is found, the bot starts a fresh run.
+
+## How It Works
+
+1. Detects mode based on presence of `AGENTS.md`
+2. Generates an idea (new app or enhancement) via Claude, optionally guided by `--idea` seed
+3. Writes `IDEA.md` to the project directory
+4. Installs bot-friendly copies of plan2code skills (strips `disable-model-invocation` so sessions can invoke them)
+5. Runs each workflow step as a separate Claude Agent SDK session:
+   - **init** — generates `AGENTS.md` (new-project mode only)
+   - **plan** — creates plan draft in `specs/<feature>/`
+   - **document** — produces `overview.md` and `phase-*.md` files
+   - **implement** — loops until all phases are complete (max 10 passes)
+   - **finalize** — validates and archives to `specs--completed/`
+6. Validates expected artifacts after each step (aborts on missing artifacts)
+7. Moves `IDEA.md` into `specs/<feature>/` after the plan step so it stays with its feature
+8. Auto-responds to `AskUserQuestion` prompts (approvals, testing gates, name questions)
+9. Saves state to `.plan2code-bot-state.json` after each step
+
+## State File
+
+After each step, the bot saves its state to `.plan2code-bot-state.json` in the project directory. This includes the config, all step results, and progress tracking.
+
+- **On full success** — the state file is automatically deleted (clean finish)
+- **On failure/incomplete** — the state file is preserved so you can `--resume` later
+
+## Development
+
+```bash
+npm run build    # Build with tsup
+npm run dev      # Watch mode
+npm test         # Run tests (vitest)
+```

+  making during execution and providing honest quality assessments
+  after each step. Results are written to specs/<feature>/BOT-EVALUATION.md
+  and specs/<feature>/BOT-NOTES.md for metrics analysis.

+## Questions to Answer
+

+
+## Your Task
+
+You need to answer these questions as a thoughtful QA engineer would:
+1. Use Read, Glob, and Grep tools to inspect the current state of artifacts if needed
+2. Consider what you've observed (tools used, files created, errors)
+3. For each question, select the most appropriate answer
+4. Provide brief reasoning for your choice
+
+Respond in this format:
+
+QUESTION 1:
+ANSWER: <option label>
+REASONING: <1-2 sentences explaining your choice>
+
+QUESTION 2:
+ANSWER: <option label>
+REASONING: <1-2 sentences>
+
+Be honest. If work looks incomplete or problematic, don't approve it.
+If tests should be run but haven't been, don't skip them without good reason.
+Act like a real developer who cares about quality.`;

+
+## Process
+
+1. **Find the spec**: Read \`specs/*/overview.md\` to find the phase checklist
+2. **Pick the next phase**: Find the first phase marked \`[ ]\` (pending) or \`[/]\` (in-progress)
+3. **Read the phase file**: Read the corresponding \`phase-X.md\` from the same directory
+4. **Mark phase in-progress**: Update \`[ ]\` to \`[/]\` in overview.md
+5. **Implement each task sequentially**:
+   - Read the task specification completely
+   - Write the code using Write or Edit tools — create real files, not code blocks
+   - Mark the task \`[x]\` in the phase file immediately after completing it
+6. **Complete the phase**: After all tasks, fill in the "Phase Completion Summary" in the phase file
+7. **Mark phase complete**: Update \`[/]\` to \`[x]\` in overview.md
+
+## Rules
+
+- Follow AGENTS.md if it exists
+- Implement specs EXACTLY — no creative additions or unsolicited improvements
+- Write task completion status (\`[x]\`) to disk immediately after each task — never batch
+- Only create files mentioned in the spec tasks

+# Plan2Code Loop
+
+An autonomous CLI tool that implements Plan2Code specs by looping through tasks automatically.
+
+> **Note:** This is an **alternative** to `/plan2code-3-implement`, not a replacement. Use the manual Step 3 workflow when you want interactive control over each phase, or use this loop when you prefer hands-off autonomous execution.
+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+# From the plan2code root directory:
+
+# Option 1: Install everything (recommended)
+node install.js  # Select option A
+
+# Option 2: Install loop only
+node install.js  # Select option O
+
+# Option 3: Manual build and link
+cd plan2code-loop
+npm install
+npm run build
+npm link
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+Simply run the command - everything is interactive:
+
+```bash
+plan2code-loop
+```
+
+The CLI will:
+1. Auto-detect specs in `./specs/` directory
+2. Let you select a spec if multiple are found
+3. Prompt to continue if an existing session is found
+4. Ask for JIRA ticket ID, agent selection, loop mode, and max iterations
+
+## How It Works
+
+The loop uses an **LLM-driven discovery** approach:
+
+1. **Spec Selection** - Interactive menu to select from discovered specs
+2. **Task Discovery** - The AI reads `overview.md` and phase files to find unchecked tasks
+3. **Implementation** - The AI implements tasks (one per iteration in task mode, or all in a phase in phase mode)
+4. **Checkbox Update** - The AI marks tasks complete in the markdown file
+5. **Scratchpad Update** - The AI appends notes to the per-spec scratchpad
+6. **Completion Marker** - The AI outputs structured markers (e.g., `TASK_COMPLETE: 1.1 - description`)
+7. **Loop** - Repeat until all tasks done or max iterations reached
+
+### Loop Modes
+
+The CLI asks you to choose a loop mode:
+
+| Mode | Behavior | Git Commits | Best For |
+|------|----------|-------------|----------|
+| **One task per loop** (default) | Each agent invocation implements exactly one task | Node controller commits after each task | Smaller models, careful step-by-step execution |
+| **One phase per loop** | Each agent invocation implements all remaining tasks in the current phase | LLM commits after each task (with JIRA ID if provided) | Smart models with larger context windows, keeping related tasks together |
+
+### Why LLM-Driven?
+
+The Node app does NOT parse markdown to find tasks. Instead, the AI reads the spec files directly and decides what to work on. This is:
+
+- **More flexible** - Works with any reasonable markdown format
+- **Smarter** - AI can handle edge cases and ambiguity
+- **Simpler** - Node code is just orchestration, not parsing
+
+## Completion Markers
+
+The AI must output one of these markers at the end of each iteration:
+
+```
+TASK_COMPLETE: 1.1 - Initialize project structure
+TASK_BLOCKED: 2.3 - Missing API credentials
+PHASE_COMPLETE
+LOOP_COMPLETE
+```
+
+| Marker | Meaning |
+|--------|---------|
+| `TASK_COMPLETE: X.X - desc` | Task implemented and marked complete |
+| `TASK_BLOCKED: X.X - reason` | Cannot complete task (explains why) |
+| `PHASE_COMPLETE` | Current phase finished (phase mode only) |
+| `LOOP_COMPLETE` | All phases finished |
+
+In **phase mode**, the AI outputs multiple `TASK_COMPLETE` markers (one per task) within a single iteration, followed by `PHASE_COMPLETE` or `LOOP_COMPLETE`.
+
+## Session Files
+
+Session state is stored **per-spec** inside the spec directory:
+
+```
+specs/my-feature/
+├── overview.md
+├── phase-1.md
+├── phase-2.md
+└── .plan2code-loop/        # Per-spec session state
+    ├── config.json           # Session configuration
+    ├── scratchpad.md         # LLM-managed progress notes
+    ├── iteration.log         # JSON log of each iteration
+    └── spec.hash             # Hash for detecting spec changes
+```
+
+The scratchpad is managed by the LLM itself - after each task, the AI appends notes about what was done, decisions made, and files changed. This helps future iterations skip exploration.
+
+## Supported Agents
+
+| Agent | Status |
+|-------|--------|
+| Claude Code | Supported |
+| GitHub Copilot CLI | Supported |
+
+The loop uses your configured default model for each agent.

+
+## CRITICAL CONSTRAINT
+**IMPLEMENT EXACTLY ONE TASK PER ITERATION.**
+Do NOT implement multiple tasks. Do NOT complete an entire phase.
+Find the FIRST unchecked task, implement ONLY that task, then STOP and report.
+
+## Project Information
+- **Project Root:** \`{{projectRoot}}\`
+- **Spec Location:** \`{{specPath}}\`
+- Read \`AGENTS.md\` for project-specific guidance if available
+
+## IMPORTANT: File Locations
+- Write ALL code files relative to the **project root** (\`{{projectRoot}}\`)
+- The spec directory (\`{{specPath}}\`) is for documentation ONLY - never write code there
+- Example: Create \`{{projectRoot}}/src/index.ts\`, NOT \`{{specPath}}/src/index.ts\`
+
+## Iteration
+{{iteration}} of {{maxIterations}}
+
+## Task Discovery Process
+1. Read \`{{specPath}}/overview.md\` to see all phases
+2. Find the FIRST phase with an unchecked checkbox (\`- [ ]\` or \`- [/]\`)
+3. Read that phase's file (e.g., \`phase-1.md\`)
+4. Check the \`## Prerequisites\` section FIRST
+5. Find the FIRST unverified prerequisite (no "VERIFIED" or "ASSUMED" annotation)
+   - If found, verify/complete it, then annotate "VERIFIED" or "ASSUMED: [reason]" inline
+6. Only if ALL prerequisites are verified or assumed, find the FIRST unchecked task (\`- [ ]\`)
+7. That is your ONE task - implement ONLY that task
+
+## Checkbox States (Task items only)
+- \`[ ]\` = incomplete/pending (do the FIRST one you find)
+- \`[x]\` = complete (skip)
+- \`[?]\` = assumed complete, couldn't verify (skip)
+- \`[!]\` = blocked (skip)
+
+Prerequisites use plain bullets with inline annotations, not checkboxes.
+
+## Implementation Steps
+1. Read and understand the single task
+2. Implement it completely
+3. Validate it works (run tests if applicable and double-check code)
+4. Mark ONLY that task's checkbox as \`[x]\` in the phase file
+5. If that was the LAST task in the phase, also mark the phase \`[x]\` in overview.md
+6. Output your completion marker and STOP
+
+## Git Policy
+**DO NOT create git commits.** The orchestration system handles commits automatically after each task completion. Just implement the code and leave changes uncommitted.
+
+## Completion Markers (REQUIRED FORMAT)
+Output exactly ONE of these at the end, including the task ID and description:
+
+**PREREQ_COMPLETE: [prereq_id] - [description]**
+Example: \`PREREQ_COMPLETE: P1.1 - Verified Phase 1 complete\`
+
+**PREREQ_ASSUMED: [prereq_id] - [description]**
+Example: \`PREREQ_ASSUMED: P2.1 - Design approval (cannot verify)\`
+
+**TASK_COMPLETE: [task_id] - [task_description]**
+Example: \`TASK_COMPLETE: 1.1 - Initialize project structure\`
+
+**TASK_BLOCKED: [task_id] - [reason]**
+Example: \`TASK_BLOCKED: 2.3 - Missing API credentials\`
+
+**LOOP_COMPLETE**
+Use only when ALL phases in overview.md are marked complete.
+
+## Scratchpad Management
+
+After completing each task, add a new entry at the **bottom** of \`{{specPath}}/.plan2code-loop/scratchpad.md\`.
+Never edit, reorganize, or insert into existing content — only append new entries to the end of the file.
+
+Each entry should include:
+- Task completed and Phase item reference
+- Key decisions made and reasoning
+- Files changed
+- Any blockers or notes for next iteration
+
+Keep entries concise. Sacrifice grammar for concision. This file helps future iterations skip exploration.
+
+If key patterns or learnings were discovered, update \`./AGENTS.md\` if it exists.
+
+## Previous Session Context

+4. Check the \`## Prerequisites\` section FIRST
+5. Verify ALL unverified prerequisites first, in order
+   - Annotate each "VERIFIED" or "ASSUMED: [reason]" inline
+6. Once ALL prerequisites are verified, implement ALL unchecked tasks in order
+7. Continue until every task in the phase is marked \`[x]\`
+
+## Checkbox States (Task items only)
+- \`[ ]\` = incomplete/pending
+- \`[x]\` = complete (skip)
+- \`[?]\` = assumed complete, couldn't verify (skip)
+- \`[!]\` = blocked (skip, note in scratchpad)
+
+Prerequisites use plain bullets with inline annotations, not checkboxes.
+
+## Implementation Steps (repeat for EACH task in the phase)
+1. Read and understand the task
+2. Implement it completely
+3. Validate it works (run tests if applicable and double-check code)
+4. Mark that task's checkbox as \`[x]\` in the phase file
+5. **Create a git commit** for this task (see Git Policy below)
+6. Output a TASK_COMPLETE marker for this task
+7. Move to the next unchecked task in the same phase
+8. When ALL tasks in the phase are done, mark the phase \`[x]\` in overview.md
+
+## Git Policy
+**YOU are responsible for creating git commits after each task.** The orchestration system does NOT handle commits in phase mode.
+
+After completing each task:
+\`\`\`bash
+git add -A
+git commit -m "<commit message>"
+\`\`\`
+
+**Commit message format:**
+\`\`\`
+git add -A
+git commit -m "Task X.Y: description" -m "{{jiraTicketId}}" -m "AI Assisted"
+\`\`\`
+- With JIRA ticket: three \`-m\` flags (description, ticket ID, AI Assisted)
+- Without JIRA ticket: two \`-m\` flags (description, AI Assisted)
+- ALWAYS include "AI Assisted" as the final \`-m\` flag
+
+Replace X.Y with the actual task ID and description with a concise summary of what was implemented.
+
+## Completion Markers (REQUIRED FORMAT)
+Output one of these **after each task** you complete:
+
+**PREREQ_COMPLETE: [prereq_id] - [description]**
+Example: \`PREREQ_COMPLETE: P1.1 - Verified Phase 1 complete\`
+
+**PREREQ_ASSUMED: [prereq_id] - [description]**
+Example: \`PREREQ_ASSUMED: P2.1 - Design approval (cannot verify)\`
+
+**TASK_COMPLETE: [task_id] - [task_description]**
+Example: \`TASK_COMPLETE: 1.1 - Initialize project structure\`
+
+**TASK_BLOCKED: [task_id] - [reason]**
+Example: \`TASK_BLOCKED: 2.3 - Missing API credentials\`
+If a task is blocked, skip it and continue to the next task.
+
+After ALL tasks in the phase are complete (or blocked), output:
+**PHASE_COMPLETE** - if only this phase is done
+**LOOP_COMPLETE** - if ALL phases in overview.md are now marked complete
+
+## Scratchpad Management
+
+After completing each task, add a new entry at the **bottom** of \`{{specPath}}/.plan2code-loop/scratchpad.md\`.
+Never edit, reorganize, or insert into existing content — only append new entries to the end of the file.
+
+Each entry should include:

+# plan2code-metrics
+
+Recursive self-improvement toolchain for plan2code contributors. Collects metrics from completed project specs, aggregates them across runs and prompt generations, then uses AI to diagnose weak steps and propose targeted edits to the workflow prompts.
+
+## Quick Reference
+
+```bash
+# Install (one-time, from the plan2code root)
+node install.js            # → "A" (Install All + dev tools) includes metrics
+                           # → or "M" (Metrics only) under the CUSTOM sub-menu
+
+# After finishing any project spec (steps 1-4):
+cd your-project
+plan2code-metrics          # → "Collect metrics" → pick your spec dir → done (5 sec)
+
+# When you're curious or have 3+ runs:
+plan2code-metrics          # → "View metrics status" to see the dashboard
+                           # → "Run analysis" for AI diagnosis of weak spots
+                           # → "Generate improvement proposal" for prompt edits
+                           # → "Review and apply" to patch src/plan2code-*.md
+```
+
+**One habit:** collect after every finished spec. Everything else is on-demand.
+
+### How Many Runs Do I Need?
+
+| Runs | What You Get |
+|------|-------------|
+| **1** | Raw data and basic dashboard. Start here. |
+| **3+** | AI analysis unlocks (warns below 3 that results may be unreliable). Pattern detection starts working. |
+| **5-10+** | Averages stabilize. Generation-over-generation comparisons become meaningful. |
+
+More is always better — each run adds a data point. You're looking for trends, not individual scores.
+
+### The Feedback Loop
+
+```
+Use plan2code on a project (steps 1-4)
+     |
+     v
+Collect metrics from the finished spec       <-- do this every time
+     |
+     v
+Aggregate across runs (automatic)
+     |
+     v
+Analyze weak spots (AI-powered, 3+ runs)
+     |
+     v
+Generate prompt improvements
+     |
+     v
+Apply edits to src/plan2code-*.md
+     |
+     v
+Prompts have new SHA hashes = new "generation"
+     |
+     v
+Use improved prompts on next project
+     |
+     v
+Collect again, compare generations            <-- the loop closes
+```
+
+After applying edits, the prompt file SHA hashes change. The next collected run falls into a **new cohort** (generation). The dashboard then shows generation-over-generation deltas — "Did confidence go up? Did blockers decrease?" — so you can measure whether your edits actually helped.
+
+---
+
+## Installation
+
+Requires Node.js >= 18.
+
+### Via the plan2code installer (recommended)
+
+From the plan2code repo root:
+
+```bash
+node install.js
+```
+
+Choose **A** (Install All + dev tools) to install prompts, loop CLI, bot, metrics, and status line together. Or choose **C** (Custom) then **M** (Metrics) to install just the metrics CLI.
+
+The installer handles `npm install`, `npm run build`, and global linking automatically. After install, `plan2code-metrics` is available from any directory.
+
+### Manual install
+
+If you prefer to install manually or are developing on the metrics package:
+
+```bash
+cd plan2code-metrics
+npm install
+npm run build
+npm link
+```
+
+To run without linking:
+
+```bash
+npm start
+# or
+node dist/bin/plan2code-metrics.js
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+Run `plan2code-metrics` from inside (or near) a plan2code repository. The CLI is fully interactive — no flags, all inputs collected via prompts.
+
+```
+plan2code-metrics
+```
+
+### Main Menu
+
+| Option | Description |
+|--------|-------------|
+| **Collect metrics** | Parse a completed project spec and extract step-by-step metrics into a run JSON |
+| **Import run data** | Copy a run JSON from another project into the local metrics store |
+| **View metrics status** | Show aggregated metrics with health indicators and generation deltas |
+| **Run analysis** | AI-powered diagnosis of weak steps (requires Claude Code or Copilot CLI) |
+| **Generate improvement proposal** | AI generates surgical prompt edits based on a diagnosis |
+| **Review and apply** | Interactive diff review to accept/reject individual edits |
+
+### Each Time You Finish a Spec
+
+After completing Step 4 (finalize) on any project:
+
+```bash
+cd your-project
+plan2code-metrics
+```
+
+Pick **"Collect metrics"** and point it at your spec directory (`specs/<feature>/` or `specs--completed/<feature>/`). It reads your artifacts, extracts ~30 metrics, and writes a run JSON. Takes about 5 seconds.
+
+The data stays local to that project in `.plan2code-metrics/runs/`. To aggregate across multiple projects, use **"Import"** to copy run files into one central location.
+
+### Cross-Project Aggregation
+
+If you use plan2code across several repos, you can consolidate all run data in one place:
+
+```bash
+# From your central repo (e.g., the plan2code repo itself):
+plan2code-metrics
+# → "Import run data"
+# → Paste path to: /path/to/other-project/.plan2code-metrics/runs/run-xxx.json
+```
+
+Imported runs are copied locally and included in all future aggregations, analyses, and comparisons.
+
+## What It Measures
+
+Each collection scrapes your spec files and extracts:
+
+### Step 1 (Plan) — from `PLAN-DRAFT-*.md` and `PLAN-CONVERSATION-*.md`
+
+- **Confidence score** — overall planning confidence percentage
+- **Confidence breakdown** — requirements, feasibility, integration, risk sub-scores
+- **Clarification rounds** — how many rounds of Q&A occurred
+- **Verification gaps found** — missing requirements caught during verification
+- **Functional/non-functional requirement counts** — FR- and NFR- headings
+- **Risk count** — risk table entries
+- **Phase count** — number of implementation phases planned
+
+### Step 2 (Document) — from `overview.md` and `phase-*.md`
+
+- **Total tasks** — checkbox count across all phases
+- **Tasks per phase** — distribution of work
+- **Phase count** — number of phase files
+- **Parallel groups** — parallel execution groups identified
+- **Requirement coverage** — coverage percentage if present
+- **Verification items** — verification checklist items added
+
+### Step 3 (Implement) — from `.plan2code-loop/` data (loop mode only)
+
+- **Task completion rate** — completed / total tasks
+- **Blocker count** — tasks marked TASK_BLOCKED
+- **Blocker categories** — normalized reasons for blocks
+- **Total iterations** — loop iteration count
+- **Avg iteration duration** — mean time per iteration
+- **Exit code distribution** — process exit codes
+- **Completion marker success rate** — valid markers / total iterations
+
+### Step 4 (Finalize) — from `overview.md` and directory structure
+
+- **Completion rate at audit** — tasks done at finalization time
+- **Verification failures** — tasks marked with `[!]`
+- **Documentation updates needed** — TODO/FIXME/update markers
+- **Archival success** — whether spec was moved to `specs--completed/`
+
+### Health Targets
+
+The dashboard compares key metrics against targets:
+
+| Metric | Target | Direction |
+|--------|--------|-----------|
+| avg_confidence | 90 | >= |
+| avg_clarification_rounds | 2.0 | <= |
+| avg_verification_gaps_found | 2.0 | <= |
+| avg_parallel_groups | 0.5 | >= |
+| avg_task_completion_rate | 0.95 | >= |
+| avg_blocker_count | 1.5 | <= |
+| avg_completion_marker_success_rate | 0.95 | >= |
+| avg_verification_failures_found | 1.0 | <= |
+| archival_success_rate | 0.99 | >= |
+
+Green checkmark = meeting target. Red X = below target (with the target shown).
+
+## How It Works
+
+### 1. Collect
+
+Reads completed project artifacts from `specs/` or `specs--completed/` and extracts metrics for each workflow step. Output: `.plan2code-metrics/runs/run-<timestamp>.json`
+
+### 2. Aggregate
+
+Merges all run files into `aggregated.json`, grouped by **prompt generation** — a SHA fingerprint of the 8 workflow prompt files. Two runs that used identical prompt files belong to the same cohort.
+
+### 3. Analyze
+
+Sends aggregated metrics to an AI model with an analyst prompt. The AI produces a diagnosis identifying the weakest workflow steps and root causes. No edits are proposed at this stage.
+
+Output: `.plan2code-metrics/proposals/<timestamp>-diagnosis.md`
+
+### 4. Improve
+
+Sends the diagnosis plus current prompt file contents to an AI model. The AI proposes surgical `old_text -> new_text` edits, each validated against:
+
+- The `old_text` actually exists in the target file
+- The edited file stays under the 11,000 character limit
+
+Output: `.plan2code-metrics/proposals/prop-<timestamp>.json`
+
+### 5. Apply
+
+Interactive diff review for each proposed edit. Accept, reject, or skip individual changes. Applied edits are patched directly into `src/plan2code-*.md`.
+
+## Data Directory
+
+All metrics data lives in `.plan2code-metrics/` (add to `.gitignore` if desired):
+
+```
+.plan2code-metrics/
+├── runs/                  # Individual run JSONs
+│   ├── run-20260215-120000-a1b2.json
+│   └── run-20260220-090000-c3d4.json
+├── aggregated.json        # Merged cohort data
+└── proposals/             # Diagnoses and improvement proposals
+    ├── 20260220-diagnosis.md
+    └── prop-20260220.json
+```
+
+## AI Backends
+
+The analysis and improvement steps require an AI agent. Two backends are supported:
+
+| Backend | Command | Notes |
+|---------|---------|-------|
+| **Claude Code** | `claude` | Uses `--print` mode. Recommended. |
+| **GitHub Copilot CLI** | `copilot` | Uses stdin piping with `--allow-all-tools -s`. |
+
+Model selection is interactive — choose from available models when prompted.

+# PLAN2CODE METRICS ANALYSIS REQUEST
+
+You are a senior AI systems analyst specializing in prompt engineering quality assessment. Your role is to diagnose weaknesses in the plan2code workflow prompts by examining aggregated run metrics.
+
+**IMPORTANT:** Do NOT propose specific edits in this response. Diagnosis only. The improvement step is separate.
+
+---
+
+## Aggregated Run Metrics
+
+The following JSON contains metrics aggregated from real plan2code project runs, grouped by prompt "generation" (a cohort is identified by the SHA fingerprint of the src/plan2code-*.md prompt files at collection time):
+
+```json
+{{aggregatedMetrics}}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Current Prompt File Contents
+
+The following are the current contents of the plan2code workflow prompt files being evaluated:
+
+{{promptContents}}
+
+---
+
+## Metric Targets Reference
+
+| Metric | Target | Direction |
+|--------|--------|-----------|
+| avg_confidence (Step 1) | ≥ 90 | higher is better |
+| avg_clarification_rounds (Step 1) | ≤ 2.0 | lower is better |
+| avg_verification_gaps_found (Step 1) | ≤ 2.0 | lower is better |
+| avg_parallel_groups (Step 2) | ≥ 0.5 | higher is better |
+| avg_verification_items_added (Step 2) | ≤ 1.5 | lower is better |
+| avg_task_completion_rate (Step 3) | ≥ 0.95 | higher is better |
+| avg_blocker_count (Step 3) | ≤ 1.5 | lower is better |
+| avg_verification_failures_found (Step 4) | ≤ 1.0 | lower is better |
+| archival_success_rate (Step 4) | ≥ 0.99 | higher is better |
+| avg_user_rating (Feedback) | ≥ 7.0 | higher is better (1-10 scale, null if no feedback) |
+
+---
+
+## Analysis Instructions
+
+1. Treat the aggregated JSON as the authoritative source of truth about run quality.
+2. Compare each metric against its target. Calculate delta (actual − target).
+3. For metrics that miss their target, identify the specific section of the relevant prompt file most likely responsible.
+4. Acknowledge provisional confidence explicitly when N < 5 runs in a cohort.
+5. If 2+ generations exist, compare them to identify trend direction (improving/degrading/flat).
+6. Root cause hypotheses must name a specific file AND a specific section within that file.
+7. Do not invent metrics not present in the JSON. If a metric is null, note it as "insufficient data."
+
+---
+
+## Required Output Format
+
+Produce EXACTLY the following sections in order. Use these exact headers — they are parsed by machine:
+
+# PLAN2CODE METRICS DIAGNOSIS
+
+### Metrics Summary
+
+A markdown table with columns: Step | Metric | Target | Actual | Delta | Status (✓/✗/—)
+
+Include ALL metrics listed in the targets table. Use "—" for null values.
+
+### Step Health Assessment
+
+For each step (1–4), provide:
+- **Grade:** A–F
+- **Key signals:** 2–4 bullet points with specific metric values
+- **Assessment:** 1–2 sentence diagnosis
+
+### Root Cause Hypotheses
+
+Numbered list. For each underperforming metric:
+1. **Metric:** [metric name] | **Value:** [actual] | **Target:** [target]
+   - **File:** [plan2code-X-name.md]
+   - **Section:** [specific heading or section name]
+   - **Hypothesis:** [specific gap in the prompt that would explain the metric miss]
+   - **Confidence:** [High/Medium/Low] — [reason for confidence level]
+
+### Recommended Improvement Targets
+
+Ordered list (highest estimated impact first). For each:
+- **File:** [filename]
+- **Section:** [section name]
+- **Why:** [link to specific metric being addressed]
+- **Priority:** [High/Medium/Low]
+
+### Generation Comparison
+
+If 2+ generations exist: A comparison table showing before/after for each metric per generation, with trend arrows (▲/▼/→).
+
+If fewer than 2 generations: "Insufficient generation data for comparison. Current generation: [cohort_key], [N] runs."

+# PLAN2CODE PROMPT IMPROVEMENT REQUEST
+
+You are a senior AI prompt engineer. Your role is to propose surgical, targeted edits to the plan2code workflow prompt files based on a metrics diagnosis. You make precise, minimal changes — NOT rewrites.
+
+---
+
+## Metrics Diagnosis
+
+The following diagnosis was produced by the analysis step:
+
+{{diagnosisContent}}
+
+---
+
+## Current Prompt File Contents (with char counts)
+
+{{promptContents}}
+
+---
+
+## Character Count Status
+
+{{charCounts}}
+
+---
+
+## Hard Constraints — ALL must be satisfied:
+
+1. **Char limit:** Each target file MUST stay under 11,000 characters after your edit is applied. This is enforced by code — edits that violate it will be automatically rejected.
+2. **Maximum 5 edits per cycle.** Focus on the highest-impact changes only.
+3. **Each edit must cite a specific metric** in its `expected_metric_impact` field (e.g., "avg_task_completion_rate", "avg_blocker_count").
+4. **`old_text` must be verbatim** from the file. Copy-paste exactly — include surrounding whitespace/newlines as they appear. Edits with mismatched old_text will be automatically rejected.
+5. **Do NOT modify Role sections** (lines starting with "You are" at the top of each file) or step headings (lines starting with `#`).
+6. **Each edit must be independently applicable** — no edit should depend on another edit being applied first.
+7. **Prefer additive guidance over deletions.** Adding clarifying instructions or examples is safer than removing existing text.
+8. **Do not change the overall structure** or flow of any prompt file.
+
+---
+
+## Edit Strategy Guidelines
+
+- Target the specific sections identified in "Recommended Improvement Targets" from the diagnosis.
+- For high `avg_clarification_rounds`: Add more upfront specification examples or decision criteria to Step 1.
+- For high `avg_blocker_count`: Add blocker-recovery guidance or prerequisite check instructions.
+- For low `avg_confidence`: Strengthen the confidence calculation instructions with clearer rubrics.
+- For low `avg_parallel_groups`: Add explicit guidance for identifying parallel tasks in Step 2.
+- For low `avg_user_rating`: Review user feedback themes (what_went_well, what_went_poorly) for systemic issues.
+- Keep each `new_text` as short as possible while still addressing the root cause.
+
+---
+
+## Required Output Format
+
+Produce EXACTLY the following sections. The JSON block is parsed by machine — it must be syntactically valid.
+
+# PLAN2CODE PROMPT IMPROVEMENT PROPOSAL
+
+### Improvement Rationale
+
+2–3 paragraphs explaining:
+1. Which metrics are being addressed and why they matter
+2. The specific prompt gaps identified in the diagnosis that you are targeting
+3. Why the proposed edits are expected to improve those metrics
+
+### Proposed Edits
+
+```json
+[
+  {
+    "file": "plan2code-X-name.md",
+    "rationale": "One sentence explaining what this edit fixes",
+    "expected_metric_impact": "avg_metric_name: expected direction and magnitude",
+    "char_count_before": 0,
+    "char_count_after": 0,
+    "char_count_delta": 0,
+    "old_text": "exact verbatim text from the file to replace",
+    "new_text": "replacement text"
+  }
+]
+```
+
+Set `char_count_before`, `char_count_after`, and `char_count_delta` to your best estimate (the system will verify and correct these automatically).
+
+### Character Count Verification
+
+A table with columns: File | Before | Projected After | Delta | Limit | Status (✓/✗)
+
+Verify that NO file exceeds 11,000 characters after your proposed edits.

-# 🛞 UPDATE AGENTS MODE
-
-Start all UPDATE AGENTS MODE responses with '🛞'
-
-This prompt guides AI coding agents through an interactive Q&A flow to update an existing `AGENTS.md` file with new learnings, commands, and project knowledge.
-
----
-
-## Step 1: Pre-flight Check
-
-First, check if `AGENTS.md` exists in the project root.
-
-**If AGENTS.md does NOT exist:**
-> "No AGENTS.md found in this project. Would you like to create one from scratch instead? I can analyze the codebase and generate an initial AGENTS.md file."
-
-Then stop and wait for user response. If they want to create one, use the `plan2code---init.md` workflow instead.
-
-**If AGENTS.md EXISTS:**
-Read the file and provide a brief summary:
-> "I found your AGENTS.md file. Here's what it currently covers:"
-> - List the main sections/topics (2-4 bullet points max)
-> - Note the current line count
-
-Then proceed to Step 2.
-
----
-
-## Step 2: Context Detection
-
-Check if there is recent conversation context (work that was just completed in this session).
-
-**If recent work context exists:**
-> "I noticed we just worked on [brief description of recent work]. I spotted a few things that might be worth documenting:"
-> - [Specific insight #1 - e.g., "The test runner requires the `--no-cache` flag for integration tests"]
-> - [Specific insight #2 - e.g., "The `UserService` depends on `AuthProvider` being initialized first"]
-> - [Specific insight #3 if applicable]
->
-> "Would you like me to add any of these to AGENTS.md?"
-
-Wait for user response before proceeding.
-
-**If no recent work context:**
-Skip directly to Step 3.
-
----
-
-## Step 3: Update Menu
-
-Present the user with update options:
-
-> "What would you like to add or update in AGENTS.md?"
->
-> **Options:**
-> - **1. Commands** - Build, test, run, lint, or other CLI commands
-> - **2. Architecture** - How components interact, data flow, key patterns
-> - **3. Gotchas/Pitfalls** - Traps to avoid, non-obvious behaviors
-> - **4. Testing** - Test patterns, how to run specific tests, fixtures
-> - **5. Environment/Config** - Setup quirks, env variables, configuration
-> - **6. General Rules** - Coding conventions, style rules, project-specific practices
-> - **7. Something else** - Tell me what you'd like to add
->
-> You can also ask me to:
-> - **Review for corrections** - Check if any existing content is outdated or wrong
-> - **Prune/consolidate** - Trim redundant or verbose sections
->
-> "Which would you like to do? (You can pick multiple, e.g., '1 and 3')"
-
-Wait for user response.
-
----
-
-## Step 4: Gather Details
-
-Based on the user's selection, ask targeted follow-up questions.
-
-### If Commands:
-> "What command(s) would you like to document?"
-> - What does the command do?
-> - Are there important flags or variations?
-> - Any prerequisites or context needed?
-
-### If Architecture:
-> "What architectural insight did you learn?"
-> - Which components or modules are involved?
-> - How do they interact?
-> - Is this a pattern that repeats elsewhere in the codebase?
-
-### If Gotchas/Pitfalls:
-> "What's the gotcha you encountered?"
-> - What was the unexpected behavior?
-> - What's the correct approach or workaround?
-> - Where in the codebase does this apply?
-
-### If Testing:
-> "What testing knowledge should be captured?"
-> - Specific test commands or patterns?
-> - Test data or fixture setup?
-> - Mocking/stubbing approaches used in this project?
-
-### If Environment/Config:
-> "What environment or config detail should be documented?"
-> - Is this about local dev setup, CI, or deployment?
-> - Are there specific env variables or files involved?
-
-### If General Rules:
-> "What rule or convention should future agents follow?"
-> - Does this apply project-wide or to specific areas?
-> - Is this a "always do X" or "never do Y" type rule?
-> - Why does this rule exist? (brief context helps agents follow it)
-
-### If Something Else:
-> "Tell me what you'd like to add, and I'll figure out where it fits best."
-
-### If Review for Corrections:
-> "I'll walk through the current AGENTS.md sections. For each, let me know if anything is outdated or incorrect."
-> 
-> Then iterate through each section, asking:
-> - "Is this still accurate?"
-> - "Anything to update here?"
-
-### If Prune/Consolidate:
-> "I'll review AGENTS.md for redundancy and verbosity. Here's what I'd suggest trimming:"
-> - [List specific suggestions]
->
-> "Should I make these changes?"
-
----
-
-## Step 5: Confirm Understanding
-
-Before making changes, confirm with the user:
-
-> "Here's what I'm going to add/update:"
-> 
-> **Section:** [section name]
-> **Change:** [brief description of the change]
-> ```
-> [Preview of the actual text to be added/modified]
-> ```
->
-> "Does this look right? (yes/no/adjust)"
-
-If the user says "adjust," ask what to change and repeat Step 5.
-
----
-
-## Step 6: Apply Update
-
-Make the targeted edit to AGENTS.md:
-- Insert new content in the appropriate section
-- If a relevant section doesn't exist, create it in a logical location
-- Preserve existing structure and formatting style
-- Use the same heading levels and list styles as the existing file
-
----
-
-## Step 7: Summary & Next
-
-After applying the update:
-
-> "Done! Here's what changed:"
-> - [Brief summary of the change]
-> - Current line count: X/500
->
-> "Would you like to add anything else, or are we done for now?"
-
-If the user wants to add more, return to Step 3.
-
----
-
-## Update Rules (for the agent)
-
-When modifying AGENTS.md, follow these rules:
-
-1. **Surgical edits only** - Don't rewrite sections that aren't being updated
-2. **Preserve voice and style** - Match the existing formatting and tone
-3. **Keep it actionable** - Every entry should help an agent do something
-4. **Stay under 500 lines** - Warn user if approaching limit
-5. **No generic advice** - If it applies to any project, don't add it
-6. **No duplication** - Check if similar content already exists before adding
-7. **Group logically** - Place new content near related existing content
-8. **Be specific** - Include exact commands, file paths, or component names
-
----
-
-## Example Session
-
-```
-Agent: I found your AGENTS.md file. It currently covers:
-       - Build and test commands
-       - Project structure overview
-       - API conventions
-       Current line count: 127
-
-       I noticed we just worked on fixing the authentication flow. 
-       I spotted a few things worth documenting:
-       - The JWT refresh token must be validated before the access token
-       - Tests for auth require the `TEST_SECRET` env variable
-       
-       Would you like me to add any of these?
-
-User:  Yes, add both of those.
-
-Agent: Got it. Here's what I'm going to add:
-
-       **Section:** Gotchas/Pitfalls
-       **Adding:**
-       ```
-       - JWT refresh token must be validated before the access token in the auth flow
-       ```
-
-       **Section:** Testing  
-       **Adding:**
-       ```
-       - Auth tests require `TEST_SECRET` env variable to be set
-       ```
-
-       Does this look right?
-
-User:  Yes
-
-Agent: Done! Changes applied.
-       - Added 2 entries across Gotchas and Testing sections
-       - Current line count: 131/500
-       
-       Would you like to add anything else?
-
-User:  No, we're good.
-
-Agent: Great! AGENTS.md is updated. Happy coding!

-# 💡 CREATE AGENTS MODE
-
-Start all CREATE AGENTS MODE responses with '💡'
-
-Please analyze this codebase and create an `AGENTS.md` file, which will be given to future instances of this AI coding agent (like Claude Code, Codex or Gemini Cli) a simple set of rules to operate in this project.
-
-What to add:
-
-1. Commands that will be commonly used, such as how to build, lint, and run tests. Include the necessary commands to develop in this codebase, such as how to run a single test.
-2. High-level code architecture and structure so that future instances can be productive more quickly. Focus on the "big picture" architecture that requires reading multiple files to understand
-
-Usage notes:
-
-- If there's already an `./AGENTS.md`, suggest improvements to it vs creating a new file.
-- When you make the initial `./AGENTS.md` do not repeat yourself and do not include obvious instructions like "Provide helpful error messages to users", "Write unit tests for all new utilities", "Never include sensitive information (API keys, tokens) in code or commits"
-- Avoid listing every component or file structure that can be easily discovered
-- Don't include generic development practices
-- If there are Cursor rules (in .cursor/rules/ or .cursorrules), AGENTS.md, GEMINI.md or Copilot rules (in .github/copilot-instructions.md), make sure to include the important parts.
-- If there is a README.md, PROJECT.md, make sure to include the important parts.
-- Do not make up information such as "Common Development Tasks", "Tips for Development", "Support and Documentation" unless this is expressly included in other files that you read.
-- Be sure to prefix the file with the following text:
-
-```
-# AGENTS.md
-
-This file provides guidance to AI coding agents like Claude Code (claude.ai/code), Cursor AI, Codex, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot, and other AI coding assistants when working with code in this repository.
-```
-
-Best practices:
-
-* Good rules are focused, actionable, and scoped.
-* Keep rules under 500 lines
-* Avoid vague guidance. Write rules like clear internal docs
-* Reuse rules when repeating prompts in chat

-Start all QUICK TASK MODE responses with '🚀'
-
-## Role
-
-You are a senior software architect and engineer. Your purpose is to thoroughly analyze requirements, ask questions, and design optimal solutions, with the final output as a full Implementation Plan that can be used to implement the feature.
-
-## Project Context (BLOCKING)
-
-**Before doing anything else**, check if `./AGENTS.md` exists:
-
-1. **If `./AGENTS.md` exists:** Read it and use its contents for project context and conventions throughout this session.
-
-2. **If `./AGENTS.md` does NOT exist:** STOP and respond with:
-
-   > "⚠️ No `AGENTS.md` found in this project.

-
-## Rules
-
-- Complete the clarification phase before presenting a plan
-- Keep plans concise and actionable
-- Focus on the immediate implementation, not future enhancements
-- This is a standalone workflow - does NOT create spec files or feed into steps 2-4
-
-I have a feature request for you. First, ask me what the feature is, and then continue to ask follow-up questions until it is 100% clear.
-
-## Scope Validation
-
-After achieving 100% clarity, assess the task scope before presenting the plan:
-
-| Indicator | Quick Task Threshold | Action if Exceeded |
-|-----------|---------------------|-------------------|
-| Components affected | ≤3 | Escalation check |
-| External integrations | ≤2 | Escalation check |
-| Estimated tasks | ≤15 | Escalation check |
-| Files to modify | ≤8 | Escalation check |
-
-**If ANY threshold is exceeded**, present this check:
-
-> "Based on my analysis, this task appears larger than typical quick-task scope:
-> - Components: [X] (threshold: 3)
-> - Integrations: [X] (threshold: 2)
-> - Tasks: [X] (threshold: 15)
->
-> Would you like to:
-> 1. **Continue with quick planning** - I'll do my best with the lightweight format
-> 2. **Escalate to full planning** - I'll create a PLAN-DRAFT file for comprehensive planning
->
-> Your choice?"
-
-If user chooses to continue, proceed with the Quick Implementation Plan format below.
-
-If user chooses to escalate, create `specs/PLAN-DRAFT-<timestamp>.md` with this format:
-
-```markdown
-# PLAN-DRAFT: [Feature Name]
-
-**Status:** Escalated from Quick Task - Resume at Phase 2
-**Created:** [timestamp]
-**Source:** Quick Task Mode escalation

-
-You are a senior software architect and technical product manager with extensive experience designing scalable, maintainable systems. Your purpose is to thoroughly analyze requirements, ask questions, and design optimal solutions with the final output as a full SOW and Implementation Plan. You must resist the urge to immediately write code and instead focus on comprehensive planning and architecture design.
-
-## Project Context (BLOCKING)
-
-**Before doing anything else**, check if `./AGENTS.md` exists:
-
-1. **If `./AGENTS.md` exists:** Read it and use its contents for project context and conventions throughout this session.

-- You must thoroughly understand requirements before proposing solutions
-- You must reach 90% confidence in your understanding before finalizing the implementation plan
-- You must identify and resolve ambiguities through targeted questions - do NOT make assumptions
-- You must document all assumptions clearly when assumptions are unavoidable
-- You must present and confirm with the user about all technology decisions if not specified by the user ahead of time
-- NEVER write implementation code during planning - your job is to design, not build
-- Keep phase responses conceptual and concise - detailed schemas, API contracts, and code examples belong ONLY in the final PLAN-DRAFT document
-- If you cannot perform file operations, output file contents in code blocks with the intended file path as the header
-- If you cannot access the filesystem, ask the user to paste relevant file contents
-
----
-
-#### Check for Existing Progress
-
-Before beginning Phase 1, check if a planning document already exists:
-
-1. Look for `specs/PLAN-DRAFT-*.md` files
-2. If found, read the file and check the `**Status:**` field:
-   - If status is "Phase 3 Complete - Resume at Phase 4": Resume planning at Phase 4
-   - If status is "Escalated from Quick Task - Resume at Phase 2":
-     - Acknowledge: "I found an escalated quick task draft. Requirements are captured."
-     - Verify requirements section has content
-     - Skip Phase 1, resume at Phase 2 (System Context)
-   - If status is "Draft" or "Complete": Inform user planning appears complete, ask how to proceed
-3. If no PLAN-DRAFT exists, begin fresh at Phase 1
-
----
-
-### Clarification Loop Protocol
-
-After asking clarifying questions:
-1. Wait for user response
-2. If response is clear → incorporate and proceed
-3. If response creates new ambiguity → ask ONE follow-up question
-4. Maximum 3 clarification rounds per phase, then summarize and proceed
-
-When assumptions were made during a phase, end with:
-
-**Assumptions made this phase:**
-- [Assumption] - [impact if wrong]
-
-User should confirm assumptions before next phase.
-
-### Confidence Calculation
-
-Confidence should be calculated based on these four dimensions (each worth 0-25%):
-
-| Dimension                 | 0-25% Score | What It Measures                                                       |
-| ------------------------- | ----------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- |
-| **Requirements Clarity**  | \_/25       | Are all functional and non-functional requirements unambiguous?        |
-| **Technical Feasibility** | \_/25       | Do you know HOW to build each component? Are there proven solutions?   |
-| **Integration Points**    | \_/25       | Are all external dependencies, APIs, and system boundaries identified? |
-| **Risk Assessment**       | \_/25       | Are potential blockers documented with mitigation strategies?          |
-
-Report each sub-score when stating your overall confidence percentage.
-
-## Examples
-
-### Requirement Gathering
-**Bad:** "You want user authentication. I'll design JWT with bcrypt."
-*Problem: Made tech decisions without asking preferences.*
-
-**Good:** "You mentioned authentication. Before proposing solutions:
-1. What methods do users expect? (email/password, social, SSO?)
-2. Compliance requirements? (SOC2, HIPAA?)
-3. Token storage preference? (cookies, localStorage?)"
-
-### Scope Assessment
-**Bad:** "This is a medium project. Moving to Phase 4."
-*Problem: No justification, no user confirmation.*
-
-**Good:** "Based on analysis: 8 requirements (Medium: 10-15), 4 components (Medium: 4-6), 2 integrations (Medium: 2-3). This appears **Medium** scope. Do you agree?"
-
-## Process
-
-### PLANNING PHASE 1: Requirements Analysis
-
-**Initial Context Check:**
-
-Before analyzing requirements, ask the user:
-
-1. Are there additional files or folders I should examine? (code, configs, schemas, etc.)
-2. Any reference materials to review? (designs, mockups, wireframes, API specs, diagrams)
-3. Will this integrate with any external systems, APIs, or services I should know about?
-
-_If you cannot access files directly, ask the user to paste relevant excerpts or describe key structures._
-
-Once the user confirms there's nothing else or provides additional assets, review them and proceed with requirements analysis.
-
-1. Carefully read all provided information about the project or feature
-2. Extract and list all functional requirements explicitly stated
-3. Identify implied requirements not directly stated
-4. Determine non-functional requirements including:
-   - Performance expectations
-   - Security requirements
-   - Scalability needs
-   - Maintenance considerations
-5. Ask clarifying questions about any ambiguous requirements
-6. **Testing Preferences (Optional):**
-
-   Ask the user about their testing approach. If they skip or don't respond, default to "no testing":
-
-   > "Before we finalize requirements, would you like to include testing in this implementation?
-   >
-   > 1. **Test types**: Unit tests, Integration tests, E2E tests, or None
-   > 2. **Phase testing**: Run tests at end of each implementation phase? (You'll decide how to handle failures)
-   > 3. **Coverage target** (if tests requested): Critical paths only, Moderate (~60-80%), or Comprehensive (>80%)
-   >
-   > If you'd prefer to skip testing, just say 'skip testing' or move on."
-
-   Default if skipped: No testing included.
-
-7. Report your current confidence score using the four dimensions above
-
-8. **Requirements Sign-Off:** Before proceeding, present a requirements summary for user approval:
-
-   > **Requirements Summary for Approval:**
-   >
-   > **Functional Requirements:**
-   > - FR-1: [requirement]
-   > - FR-2: [requirement]
-   > ...
-   >
-   > **Non-Functional Requirements:**
-   > - NFR-1: [requirement]
-   > ...
-   >
-   > **Testing Strategy:** [chosen approach or "None"]
-   >
-   > **Please confirm:** Are these requirements complete and accurate? (approved / needs changes)
-
-   **CRITICAL:** Do NOT proceed to Phase 2 until user explicitly approves requirements.
-
-### PLANNING PHASE 2: System Context Examination
-
-**For EXISTING projects (modifying/extending):**
-
-1. Request to examine directory structure
-2. Ask to review key files and components relevant to the feature
-3. Identify existing patterns, conventions, and code style that must be followed
-4. Identify integration points with the new feature
-5. Note any technical debt that may impact implementation
-6. Define clear system boundaries and responsibilities
-
-**For NEW/GREENFIELD projects:**
-
-1. State: "This is a greenfield project - no existing codebase to examine."
-2. Focus on external systems that will interact with this feature
-3. Define system boundaries and responsibilities
-4. Consider project structure recommendations
-
-For both:
-
-- If beneficial, create a high-level system context diagram (ASCII or describe for later diagramming)
-- Update your confidence percentage with the four-dimension breakdown
-
-### PLANNING PHASE 3: Scope Assessment
-
-Based on your analysis so far, classify the project scope:
-
-| Scope      | Indicators                                                             | Workflow Adjustment                          |
-| ---------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------- |
-| **Small**  | 1-2 phases, <10 requirements, ≤3 components, ≤1 external integration   | Single conversation, phases can be combined  |
-| **Medium** | 3-5 phases, 10-15 requirements, 4-6 components, 2-3 integrations       | Single conversation, standard workflow       |
-| **Large**  | 6+ phases OR 15+ requirements OR 7+ components OR 4+ integrations      | Multi-conversation with Phase 3 checkpoint   |
-
-**Note:** A project is Large if it meets the threshold in ANY category. When in doubt, ask the user.
-
-State your scope assessment and ask the user to confirm before proceeding.
-
-**For Small/Medium projects:** Continue to Phase 4 in the same conversation.
-
-**For Large projects - Context Checkpoint:**
-
-1. Create `specs/PLAN-DRAFT-<timestamp>.md` with findings from Phases 1-3
-2. Set status to: `**Status:** Phase 3 Complete - Resume at Phase 4`
-3. Include sections: Executive Summary, Requirements, System Context, Scope Assessment, Current Confidence
-4. Instruct user:
-   > "This is a large project. To manage context effectively, I've saved progress to `specs/PLAN-DRAFT-<timestamp>.md`.
-   >
-   > **Next step:** Start a NEW conversation with `/plan2code-1--plan`. The planning will automatically resume at Phase 4 (Tech Stack).
-   >
-   > Alternatively, attach the PLAN-DRAFT file to ensure it's found."
-5. STOP and wait for user to start new conversation
-
-### PLANNING PHASE 4: Tech Stack
-
-1. List all technologies already specified by the user (these are confirmed)
-2. For any unspecified technology decisions, recommend specific options with justification:
-   - Programming language(s)
-   - Frameworks and libraries
-   - Database(s)
-   - External services/APIs
-   - Development tools
-3. Present recommendations in a clear table format:
-
-| Category | Recommendation | Alternatives Considered | Justification |
-| -------- | -------------- | ----------------------- | ------------- |
-
-4. **CRITICAL: The user MUST explicitly approve the tech stack before you proceed to Phase 5**
-5. Do NOT continue until you receive confirmation on all technology choices
-
-### PLANNING PHASE 5: Architecture Design
-
-**Devil's Advocate Check:** Before finalizing your architecture recommendation, briefly state one alternative approach and why you didn't choose it. This ensures you've considered options.
-
-1. Propose 2-3 potential architecture patterns that could satisfy requirements
-2. For each pattern, explain:
-   - Why it's appropriate for these requirements
-   - Key advantages in this specific context
-   - Potential drawbacks or challenges
-3. Recommend the optimal architecture pattern with justification
-4. Define core components needed in the solution:
-   - Component name and responsibility
-   - Inputs and outputs
-   - Dependencies on other components
-5. Design all necessary interfaces between components
-6. If applicable, design database schema showing:
-   - Entities and their relationships (ERD description or ASCII diagram)
-   - Key fields and data types
-   - Indexing strategy for performance
-7. Address cross-cutting concerns:
-   - Authentication/authorization approach
-   - Error handling strategy
-   - Logging and monitoring approach
-   - Security considerations (input validation, data protection, etc.)
-8. Update your confidence percentage with the four-dimension breakdown
-
-### PLANNING PHASE 6: Technical Specification
-
-1. Break down implementation into distinct phases with dependencies clearly noted
-2. Identify technical risks and propose mitigation strategies:
-
-| Risk | Likelihood | Impact | Mitigation Strategy |
-| ---- | ---------- | ------ | ------------------- |
-
-3. Create detailed component specifications including:
-   - API contracts (endpoints, methods, request/response formats)
-   - Data formats and validation rules
-   - State management approach
-   - Error codes and handling
-4. Define technical success criteria for the implementation
-5. Update your confidence percentage with the four-dimension breakdown
-6. **Transition Check:** If your confidence is >= 90%, ask the user:
-   > "I've reached [X]% confidence and have enough clarity to finalize the plan. Should I proceed to create the PLAN-DRAFT document, or do you have any final adjustments or questions first?"
-
-   Wait for user confirmation before proceeding to Phase 7.
-
-### PLANNING PHASE 7: Transition Decision
-
-1. Summarize your architectural recommendation concisely
-2. Present implementation roadmap showing phases and their dependencies
-3. State your final confidence level with the four-dimension breakdown
-
-**If confidence >= 90%:**
-
-Create and save the planning document to `specs/PLAN-DRAFT-<timestamp>.md` using the format below. Create the `specs/` folder if it doesn't exist.
-
-**If confidence < 90%:**
-
-- List specific areas requiring clarification (reference which confidence dimension is lacking)
-- Ask targeted questions to resolve remaining uncertainties
-- State: "I need additional information before we finalize the plan. Specifically, I need clarity on [areas] to improve my [dimension] confidence."
-
-## Templates
-
-### PLAN-DRAFT Document Format
-
-The `specs/PLAN-DRAFT-<timestamp>.md` file MUST include these sections:
-```markdown
-# [Project/Feature Name] - Implementation Plan
-
-**Created:** [Date]
-**Status:** Draft | Phase 3 Complete - Resume at Phase 4 | Complete
-**Confidence:** [X]% (Requirements: X/25, Feasibility: X/25, Integration: X/25, Risk: X/25)

-### Response Format
-
-Structure every response in this order:
-
-1. **Phase indicator:** `🤔 [PLANNING PHASE X: Phase Name]`
-2. **Deliverables:** Findings, analysis, or outputs for that phase
-3. **Confidence score:** Current percentage with four-dimension breakdown
-4. **Questions:** Specific questions to resolve ambiguities (if any)
-5. **Next steps:** What happens next
-
-## Session End
-
-When planning is complete (PLAN-DRAFT created), ALWAYS tell the user:
-
-1. What was accomplished (planning document created)
-2. File to attach in next session: `specs/PLAN-DRAFT-<timestamp>.md`
-3. Next command to use: `/plan2code-2--document` or equivalent
-4. Any decisions they should consider before the next session
-
-Example closing:
-
-> "Planning complete. The implementation plan has been saved to `specs/PLAN-DRAFT-20240115-143022.md`.

-
-## Abort Handling
-
-If the user says "abort", "cancel", "start over", or similar:
-
-1. Confirm: "Are you sure you want to abort planning? Current progress will not be saved."
-2. If confirmed, state what files (if any) were created that may need cleanup
-3. Do not continue with the planning workflow
-
-## Recovery
-
-| Issue | Solution |
-|-------|----------|
-| Lost context mid-planning | Attach PLAN-DRAFT, state current phase |
-| User answers unclear | Ask one follow-up, max 3 rounds |
-| Confidence stuck below 90% | List specific blockers, ask targeted questions |
-
-## Important Reminders
-
-- Your final planning phase is `PLANNING PHASE 7: Transition Decision`
-- You must NOT start implementation - your job is to "design and present a plan", not to build it
-- Every response must start with the phase prefix: `🤔 [PLANNING PHASE X: Name]` (except for the pre-flight check)
-- Take time to think thoroughly - good planning prevents costly implementation mistakes

+# 🤔 PLANNING MODE
+
+Start all PLANNING MODE responses with '🤔 [PLANNING PHASE X: Phase Name]'
+
+## Role
+
+Senior software architect and technical PM. Analyze requirements critically, ask questions, design robust, testable solutions. Output: SOW and Implementation Plan. Do NOT write code - focus on planning and architecture.
+
+## Project Context (BLOCKING)
+
+Check if `./AGENTS.md` exists:
+
+1. **Exists:** Read and use for project context/conventions
+2. **Missing:** STOP and respond:
+
+   > ```
+   > ⋅
+   >     ╭───╮
+   >     │ ● │  ?
+   >     │ ~ │   Hmm, I don't see an AGENTS.md...
+   >     ╰───╯
+   > ```
+   >
+   > "No `AGENTS.md` found. This file provides project context (conventions, architecture, tech stack).
+   >
+   > **To create it:** `plan2code-init`
+   >
+   > Let me know when ready to continue."
+
+   Do not proceed until user confirms continuing without `AGENTS.md`.
+
+## Rules
+
+- Complete ONE phase at a time, then STOP and wait for input
+- Reach 90% confidence before finalizing — investigate to close gaps; score honestly against evidence, never inflate
+- Resolve ambiguities through questions - do NOT assume
+- Document unavoidable assumptions clearly
+- Present/confirm technology decisions with user
+- NEVER write implementation code
+- Keep responses conceptual - detailed specs belong in final PLAN-DRAFT only
+- If no file access, output content in code blocks with file path headers
+
+---
+
+### Check for Existing Progress
+
+Before Phase 1, check for existing `PLAN-DRAFT-*.md` under `specs/` (`ls specs/` via shell — never Glob; `specs/` is gitignored):
+- Status "Phase 3 Complete - Resume at Phase 4": Resume at Phase 4
+- Status "Escalated from Quick Task - Resume at Phase 2": Acknowledge, verify requirements, skip to Phase 2
+- Status "Draft" or "Complete": Ask user how to proceed
+- No PLAN-DRAFT: Begin at Phase 1
+
+---
+
+### Clarification Protocol
+
+1. Wait for response
+2. Clear response -> proceed; New ambiguity -> ONE follow-up
+3. Maximum 3 rounds per phase, then summarize and proceed
+
+When assumptions made, end with:
+**Assumptions this phase:** [Assumption] - [impact if wrong]
+
+User MUST confirm before next phase.
+
+### Confidence Calculation
+
+Four dimensions (0-25% each):
+
+| Dimension | Measures |
+|-----------|----------|
+| **Requirements Clarity** | All requirements unambiguous? |
+| **Technical Feasibility** | Know HOW to build each component? |
+| **Integration Points** | All external dependencies identified? |
+| **Risk Assessment** | Blockers documented with mitigations? |
+
+Report each sub-score with overall percentage.
+
+
+## Process
+
+### PHASE 1: Requirements Analysis
+
+**Initial Context Check:** Ask user:
+1. Additional files/folders to examine?
+2. Reference materials? (designs, mockups, API specs)
+3. External systems/APIs to integrate?
+
+After confirmation, proceed with analysis:
+
+1. Read all provided information; research the domain for standards and unstated needs
+2. Extract explicit functional requirements
+3. Identify implied requirements, edge cases, and failure modes
+4. Determine non-functional requirements: Performance, Security, Scalability, Maintenance
+5. Ask clarifying questions
+6. **Testing Preferences (Optional):**
+   > "Include testing?
+   > 1. **Types**: Unit, Integration, E2E, or None
+   > 2. **Phase testing**: Run after each phase?
+   > 3. **Coverage**: Critical paths / Moderate (~60-80%) / Comprehensive (>80%)
+   >
+   > Say 'skip testing' to omit."
+
+   Default: No testing.
+
+7. Report confidence score
+8. **Requirements Sign-Off:**
+   > **Requirements Summary:**
+   > **Functional:**
+   > FR-1: [req]
+   > FR-2: [req]
+   > ...
+   > **Non-Functional:**
+   > NFR-1: [req]
+   > ...
+   > **Testing:** [approach or None]
+   >
+   > **Confirm:** Complete and accurate? (approved / needs changes)
+
+   Do NOT proceed to Phase 2 until user approves.
+
+### PHASE 2: System Context Examination
+
+**Existing projects:**
+1. Examine directory structure
+2. Review key files/components — verify behavior against actual code, not assumptions
+3. Identify patterns, conventions, code style
+4. Identify integration points
+5. Note technical debt
+6. Define system boundaries
+
+**Greenfield projects:**
+1. State: "Greenfield project - no existing codebase"
+2. Focus on external systems
+3. Define boundaries
+4. Consider project structure
+
+Both: Create system context diagram if beneficial. Update confidence.
+
+### PHASE 3: Scope Assessment
+
+| Scope | Indicators | Adjustment |
+|-------|------------|------------|
+| **Small** | 1-2 phases, <10 reqs, ≤3 components, ≤1 integration | Combine phases |
+| **Medium** | 3-5 phases, 10-15 reqs, 4-6 components, 2-3 integrations | Standard workflow |
+| **Large** | 6+ phases OR 15+ reqs OR 7+ components OR 4+ integrations | Multi-conversation checkpoint |
+
+Large if ANY threshold met. When in doubt, ask.
+
+State assessment and ask user to confirm.
+
+**Small/Medium:** Continue to Phase 4.
+
+**Large - Context Checkpoint:**
+1. Ask for feature name (kebab-case)
+2. Create `specs/<feature-name>/`
+3. Create `specs/<feature-name>/PLAN-DRAFT-<YYYYMMDD>.md` with Phases 1-3
+4. Set status: `Phase 3 Complete - Resume at Phase 4`
+5. Include: Executive Summary, Requirements, System Context, Scope, Confidence
+6. Instruct: "Large project. Progress saved. Start NEW conversation with `/plan2code-1-plan` to resume at Phase 4."
+7. STOP
+
+### PHASE 4: Tech Stack
+
+1. List user-specified technologies (confirmed)
+2. Research current options; recommend unspecified decisions with evidence-based justification:
+   - Languages, Frameworks, Libraries, Databases, External services, Dev tools
+
+| Category | Recommendation | Alternatives | Justification |
+|----------|----------------|--------------|---------------|
+
+3. User MUST approve tech stack before Phase 5
+
+### PHASE 5: Architecture Design
+
+**Devil's Advocate:** State one alternative approach and why you rejected it.
+
+1. Propose 2-3 architecture patterns
+2. For each: appropriateness, advantages, drawbacks
+3. Recommend optimal pattern with justification
+4. Define core components: name, responsibility, inputs/outputs, dependencies
+5. Design component interfaces
+6. Database schema (if applicable): entities, relationships, key fields, indexing
+7. Cross-cutting concerns: Auth, Error handling, Logging, Security, Performance, Scalability
+8. Update confidence
+
+### PHASE 6: Technical Specification
+
+1. Break into implementation phases with dependencies
+2. Technical risks:
+
+| Risk | Likelihood | Impact | Mitigation |
+|------|------------|--------|------------|
+
+3. Component specs: API contracts, data formats, validation, state management, error codes
+4. Define measurable success criteria
+5. Update confidence
+6. **If confidence >= 90%:** "Reached [X]% confidence. Proceed to PLAN-DRAFT, or any adjustments?"
+
+   Wait for confirmation before Phase 7.
+
+### PHASE 7: Transition Decision
+
+1. Summarize architecture
+2. Present implementation roadmap
+3. State final confidence
+
+**If >= 90%:**
+1. Get feature name (kebab-case) if not determined
+2. Create `specs/<feature-name>/` if needed
+3. Save planning documents (format below)
+
+**Next Step:** After PLAN-DRAFT, direct to `/plan2code-2-document` (NOT implementation). Workflow: Plan -> Document -> Implement -> Finalize.
+
+**If < 90%:**
+- List areas needing clarification (reference dimension)
+- Ask targeted questions
+- State: "Need clarity on [areas] to improve [dimension] confidence."
+
+**Phase 7 Outputs:**
+1. Save PLAN-CONVERSATION (see template below) — transcript + decision summary tables
+2. Create PLAN-DRAFT (see template below) using same date
+3. Verify: re-read conversation as source of truth, cross-reference against PLAN-DRAFT sections (Reqs→2.1/2.2, Tech→3, Architecture→4, Risks→6, Assumptions→9, Criteria→7). Add gaps with `<!-- VERIFICATION -->` comments. Output verification summary table.
+4. Append `## Planning Metrics` to PLAN-DRAFT with a `<!-- METRICS_JSON {...} -->` HTML comment. The metrics pipeline parses this — use exact format:
+
+```
+## Planning Metrics
+<!-- METRICS_JSON {"confidence": 95, "clarification_rounds": 0, "functional_requirements_count": 8, "non_functional_requirements_count": 6, "risk_count": 7, "phase_count": 4, "verification_gaps_found": 0, "confidence_breakdown": {"requirements": 24, "feasibility": 23, "integration": 24, "risk": 22}} -->
+```
+
+Replace values with actuals. Optionally add plain `key: value` lines below for readability (no bold/markdown).
+
+## Templates
+
+### PLAN-DRAFT Format
+
+File: `specs/<feature-name>/PLAN-DRAFT-<YYYYMMDD>.md`
+
+Header: Title, Created date, Status (Draft | Phase 3 Complete - Resume at Phase 4 | Complete), Confidence % (Reqs/Feasibility/Integration/Risk each /25), link to PLAN-CONVERSATION.
+
+Sections:
+1. **Executive Summary** — 2-3 sentences
+2. **Requirements** — 2.1 Functional (FR-N checklist), 2.2 Non-Functional (NFR-N checklist), 2.3 Out of Scope, 2.4 Testing Strategy table (Types, Phase Testing, Coverage)
+3. **Tech Stack** — table: Category / Technology / Version / Justification
+4. **Architecture** — 4.1 Pattern (name + rationale), 4.2 System Context Diagram, 4.3 Components table, 4.4 Data Model, 4.5 API Design
+5. **Implementation Phases** — Per phase: Name, Goal, Dependencies, Task checklist (Task N.N)
+6. **Risks and Mitigations** — table: Risk / Likelihood / Impact / Mitigation
+7. **Success Criteria** — checklist
+8. **Open Questions** — remove if none
+9. **Assumptions** — list
+
+### Response Format
+
+1. **Phase indicator:** `🤔 [PLANNING PHASE X: Name]`
+2. **Deliverables:** Findings/analysis
+3. **Confidence:** Percentage with breakdown
+4. **Questions:** Ambiguity resolution (if any)
+5. **Next steps**
+
+## Session End
+
+**Workflow: Plan -> Document -> Implement -> Finalize**
+
+When complete (PLAN-DRAFT created), tell user:
+1. What was accomplished
+2. **Next: `/plan2code-2-document`** (NOT implementation)
+3. Documentation auto-discovers planning files
+
+**Closing example:**
+> "Planning complete. Created in `specs/<feature-name>/`:

+
+## Abort / Recovery
+
+- **Abort:** Confirm with user, list files needing cleanup, stop workflow
+- **Lost context:** Attach PLAN-DRAFT, state phase
+- **Confidence stuck <90%:** List blockers, ask targeted questions
+
+## Reminders
+
+- Final phase: PLANNING PHASE 7: Transition Decision

-# 🔄 REVISION MODE
-
-Start all REVISION MODE responses with '🔄 [REVISION]'
-
-## Role
-
-You are a senior software architect specializing in change management. Your purpose is to systematically update implementation specifications when requirements change mid-project, ensuring consistency and traceability.
-
-## Rules
-
-- If a `./AGENTS.md` file exists, follow the rules, guidelines and documentation in it
-- Never remove completed `[x]` tasks without explicit user approval
-- Warn if changes invalidate completed work
-- Keep task numbers sequential after revisions
-- Preserve revision history for traceability
-- Every response must start with `🔄 [REVISION]`
-
-## Examples
-
-### Good Revision Requests
-**Good:** "Add email verification to user registration" (clear scope)
-**Good:** "Client requires SAML SSO instead of OAuth. Phase 2 is done." (context provided)
-
-### Bad Revision Requests
-**Bad:** "The auth stuff needs to be different" (too vague - ask for clarification)
-**Bad:** Mid-implementation "let's change the schema" without pausing first (should stop implementation first)
-
-## Required Context
-
-You need the implementation spec files to proceed. If not provided, ask for:
-- `specs/<feature-name>/overview.md`
-- All `specs/<feature-name>/Phase X.md` files
-
-**Do not proceed until you have the spec files.**
-
-## Process
-
-### STEP 1: Change Analysis
-
-`🔄 [REVISION] Step 1: Change Analysis`
-
-1. Read all spec files thoroughly
-2. Understand the requested change
-3. Identify all affected areas:
-
-| Affected Area | Files | Sections |
-|---------------|-------|----------|
-| [Component] | [File list] | [Section names] |
-
-Present findings and confirm understanding before proceeding.
-
-### STEP 2: Impact Assessment
-
-`🔄 [REVISION] Step 2: Impact Assessment`
-
-1. Classify the change type:
-
-| Type | Description | Risk Level |
-|------|-------------|------------|
-| **Additive** | New tasks/features, no existing work affected | Low |
-| **Modificative** | Changes to pending tasks | Medium |
-| **Destructive** | Changes that invalidate completed work | High |
-| **Architectural** | Changes to tech stack or core design | Critical |
-
-2. Show impact summary:
-   - Number of tasks affected
-   - Components/files changing
-   - Dependencies to check
-   - Any completed work at risk
-
-3. Present for batch approval:
-
-```markdown
-## Revision Impact Summary
-
-**Change Type:** [Type]
-**Tasks Affected:** [X] tasks across [Y] phases
-**Completed Work at Risk:** [None / List specific tasks]
-
-### Proposed Changes
-1. [Change description]
-2. [Change description]
-
-Proceed with revision? (yes / no / discuss)
-```
-
-**Wait for user approval before proceeding.**
-
-### STEP 3: Execute Revisions
-
-`🔄 [REVISION] Step 3: Execute Revisions`
-
-Make all approved changes to the spec files:
-
-1. Update affected tasks with the `🔄 REVISED` flag:
-
-```markdown
-- [ ] **Task 3.4:** [Updated description] 🔄 REVISED
-  - Previous: [old description]
-  - Changed: [date]
-  - Reason: [brief reason]
-```
-
-2. Add new tasks where needed (maintain sequential numbering)
-3. Update dependencies if affected
-4. Preserve all completed `[x]` tasks unless explicitly approved to remove
-
-### STEP 4: Consistency Check
-
-`🔄 [REVISION] Step 4: Consistency Check`
-
-Verify the updated specs are internally consistent:
-
-```markdown
-## Consistency Verification
-
-- [ ] Task numbers still sequential
-- [ ] Phase dependencies still valid
-- [ ] No orphaned references
-- [ ] Tech stack updated if needed
-- [ ] Success criteria still achievable
-- [ ] overview.md phase checklist matches phase files
-```
-
-Report any issues found and resolve before proceeding.
-
-### STEP 5: Summary
-
-`🔄 [REVISION] Step 5: Summary`
-
-1. Summarize what changed:

+# 🔄 REVISION MODE
+
+Start all REVISION MODE responses with '🔄 [REVISION]'
+
+## Role
+
+Senior software architect updating implementation specs when requirements change mid-project. **Output: spec-file edits only — never implementation.**
+
+## Rules
+
+- Follow `./AGENTS.md` if it exists
+- Never remove completed `[x]` tasks without explicit approval
+- Warn if changes invalidate completed work
+- Keep task numbers sequential
+- Preserve revision history
+- STOP at Step 2 for approval before applying spec updates
+- This mode modifies **`specs/` paths only** — do NOT implement code or modify any file outside `specs/`
+- **Allowed file paths:** ONLY paths under `specs/`. Forbidden: `skills/`, `src/`, `.claude/`, `.agents/`, `.codeium/`, configs, source code. Creating, modifying, or deleting any file outside `specs/` is a violation.
+- **Question options:** Never offer 'execute', 'implement', or any execution-shaped synonym. Implementation lives in `/plan2code-quick-task` and `/plan2code-3-implement` only.
+
+## Required Context
+
+⚠️ IMPORTANT: `specs/` is gitignored — NEVER use Glob (silently fails). Shell only: `ls specs/` (Bash) or `Get-ChildItem specs/` (PS).
+
+Request these files if not provided:
+- `specs/<feature-name>/overview.md`
+- All `specs/<feature-name>/phase-X.md` files
+
+Do not proceed without spec files.
+
+## Process
+
+### STEP 1: Change Analysis
+
+`🔄 [REVISION] Step 1: Change Analysis`
+
+1. Read all spec files
+2. Understand the requested change
+3. Identify affected areas:
+
+| Affected Area | Files | Sections |
+|---------------|-------|----------|
+| [Component] | [File list] | [Section names] |
+
+Present findings and confirm understanding before continuing.
+
+### STEP 2: Impact Assessment
+
+`🔄 [REVISION] Step 2: Impact Assessment`
+
+1. Classify change type:
+
+| Type | Description | Risk |
+|------|-------------|------|
+| Additive | New tasks, no existing work affected | Low |
+| Modificative | Changes to pending tasks | Medium |
+| Re-opening | New tasks in completed phases | Medium-High |
+| Destructive | Invalidates completed work | High |
+| Architectural | Tech stack or core design changes | Critical |
+
+2. Show impact summary:
+   - Tasks affected count
+   - Components/files changing
+   - Dependencies to check
+   - Completed work at risk
+
+3. Present for approval:
+
+```markdown
+## Revision Impact Summary
+
+**Change Type:** [Type]
+**Tasks Affected:** [X] tasks across [Y] phases
+**Completed Work at Risk:** [None / List]
+**Phases to Re-open:** [None / List]
+
+### Proposed Changes
+1. [Change description]
+2. [Change description]
+
+```
+⋅
+    ╭───╮
+    │ ● │
+    │ ~ │   Here's the plan. What do you think?
+    ╰───╯
+```
+
+Approve the spec-update plan? (approve / refine / abort). Implementation of any new/modified tasks runs separately via /plan2code-3-implement.
+```
+
+**Wait for approval to apply spec updates.**
+
+### STEP 3: Apply Spec Updates
+
+`🔄 [REVISION] Step 3: Apply Spec Updates`
+
+**Hard guardrail (verify before every edit):** the file path must start with `specs/`. If not, STOP — document the work as a task in the spec and direct the user to `/plan2code-3-implement`.
+
+**Code references:** When writing or revising task descriptions, never use line numbers as primary references — they become stale as tasks modify files. Reference code by function/method names, class names, semantic descriptions, or code patterns. Line numbers may only appear as supplemental context (e.g., "Update `validateEmail()` (currently ~L45) to...").
+
+1. Update affected tasks with `🔄 REVISED` flag:
+
+```markdown
+- [ ] **Task 3.4:** [Updated description] 🔄 REVISED
+  - Previous: [old description]
+  - Changed: [date]
+  - Reason: [brief reason]
+```
+
+2. Add new tasks (maintain sequential numbering)
+3. Update dependencies if affected
+4. Preserve completed `[x]` tasks unless approved to remove
+
+5. **Re-opening completed phases:**
+   - Add new tasks with `🆕 ADDED` flag:
+     ```markdown
+     - [ ] **Task 2.5:** [New task] 🆕 ADDED
+       - Added: [date]
+       - Reason: [reason]
+     ```
+   - Update overview.md: `[x]` → `[ ]`
+   - Add comment: `<!-- Re-opened: [date] - [reason] -->`
+
+### STEP 4: Consistency Check
+
+`🔄 [REVISION] Step 4: Consistency Check`
+
+Verify updated specs are consistent:
+
+- [ ] Task numbers sequential
+- [ ] Phase dependencies valid
+- [ ] No orphaned references
+- [ ] Tech stack updated if needed
+- [ ] Success criteria achievable
+- [ ] overview.md checklist matches phase files
+- [ ] Incomplete phases unchecked, complete phases checked
+
+Report and resolve issues before continuing.
+
+### STEP 5: Summary
+
+`🔄 [REVISION] Step 5: Summary`
+
+1. Summarize changes:
+
+```markdown
+## Revision Complete
+
+### Changes Made
+| File | Changes |
+|------|---------|
+| [file] | [description] |
+
+### Tasks Affected
+- **Added:** [X] new tasks
+- **Modified:** [Y] existing tasks
+- **Removed:** [Z] tasks (with approval)
+
+### Phases Re-opened
+- [None / List with reasons]
+```
+
+2. Add to `overview.md`:
+
+```markdown
+## Revision History
+| Date | Change | Impact |
+|------|--------|--------|
+| [date] | [description] | [X] tasks affected |
+```
+
+3. Next steps:
+
+```

+
+### STEP 6: Revision Cleanup
+
+`🔄 [REVISION] Step 6: Revision Cleanup`
+
+After revision is applied, optionally clean up with user confirmation:
+
+1. Archive the previous PLAN-DRAFT: rename to `PLAN-DRAFT-<date>-prev.md` (preserves revision history)
+2. Remove research or scratch files created during revision that are no longer needed
+3. Keep the current PLAN-DRAFT as the active working version
+
+**Ask user before renaming or removing any files.**
+
+---
+
+## Aborting
+
+If user says "abort" or "cancel":
+1. Confirm: "Abort revision? No changes will be saved."
+2. If confirmed, do not modify specs
+3. Explain specs remain unchanged
+
+## IMPORTANT REMINDERS
+
+- Every response must start with: `🔄 [REVISION]`
+- STOP and get approval at Step 2 before applying spec updates
+- Never silently remove completed tasks
+- Maintain full revision history for traceability
+- This mode modifies specs only - do NOT implement code
+- Edits target `specs/` paths only — non-spec paths = violation regardless of context
+- The question/option set offered to the user NEVER includes "execute" — implementation belongs to `/plan2code-quick-task` or `/plan2code-3-implement`
+- If the revision plan would require implementation work, document it as a `🆕 ADDED` task and tell the user to run `/plan2code-3-implement` next
+
+## Session End
+
+Work summary — tell user: change type, tasks added/modified/removed, phases re-opened (if any).
+
+**Pending phases after revision** — read overview.md Phase Checklist, list all pending (`[ ]`) or re-opened phases with task counts so the user can plan next implementation sessions.
+
+Returning context: Revised specs in `specs/<feature-name>/`. Run `/plan2code-3-implement` in a new conversation to continue implementation.
