Dev Ralplan

SkillDev tools

Multi-perspective consensus planning with Planner/Architect/Critic loop. Use when high-stakes decisions need RALPLAN-DR structured deliberation (auth, migrations, public APIs, irreversible changes). Pairs with @compass-planner + @apex-architect + @raven-critic.

Consensus mode planning: a Planner/Architect/Critic loop that produces a plan with explicit principles, decision drivers, viable options, and an ADR. Used for high-stakes or irreversible work.

Use When

  • Multi-perspective consensus needed on a plan or design
  • High-stakes work: auth, security, data migrations, destructive/irreversible changes, production incidents, compliance/PII, public API breakage
  • User says "ralplan", "consensus", "let's deliberate"
  • When dev-plan --consensus would normally apply

Do Not Use When

  • Simple, low-risk task → use dev-plan standard mode
  • User wants direct execution → use dev-autopilot
  • Single-perspective is sufficient → use dev-plan direct mode

Workflow

Stage 1 — Initial plan (@compass-planner)

  • Run interview if needed
  • Emit RALPLAN-DR summary: Principles (3-5), Decision Drivers (top 3), Viable options (≥2)
  • If only 1 viable option remains, document explicit invalidation rationale for alternatives

Stage 2 — Architecture review (@apex-architect)

  • Read the plan
  • Provide consensus addendum: strongest steelman antithesis, real tradeoff tension, synthesis if viable
  • In deliberate mode, flag explicit principle violations

Stage 3 — Critique (@raven-critic)

  • Multi-perspective adversarial review
  • Pre-commitment predictions
  • Gap analysis
  • Self-audit + realist check
  • Verdict: REJECT / REVISE / ACCEPT-WITH-RESERVATIONS / ACCEPT

Stage 4 — Revised plan (@compass-planner)

  • Incorporate apex + raven feedback
  • Final plan must include ADR: Decision, Drivers, Alternatives considered, Why chosen, Consequences, Follow-ups
  • In deliberate mode: pre-mortem (3 scenarios) + expanded test plan (unit/integration/e2e/observability)

Mode Selection

  • Short mode (default): principles + drivers + ADR
  • Deliberate mode (--deliberate): + pre-mortem + expanded test plan + principle violation flags

Trigger deliberate mode when: auth/security touched, data migration, destructive/irreversible change, production incident response, compliance/PII implications, public API breakage.

Output

Final plan saved to workspace/development/plans/[C]ralplan-{name}-{date}.md with ADR section.

Pairs With

  • @compass-planner (drives the loop)
  • @apex-architect (architecture review)
  • @raven-critic (adversarial review)
  • dev-plan (which can chain into ralplan with --consensus)
  • dev-autopilot (skips its own Phase 0+1 if a ralplan plan already exists)
