SKILL-007: Deterministic Planner

Overview

Complex tasks fail when agents improvise. This skill enforces a "Measure Twice, Cut Once" discipline by requiring a valid PLAN.json artifact before significant changes are made.

Trigger Phrases

• create plan <objective>
• start task <name>
• initialize mission

Inputs

Outputs

1. PLAN.json with the following rigid schema:
   • objective: String
   • steps: Array of Objects { step: int, description: string, verification: string }
   • rollback_strategy: String
   • risks: Array of strings

Preconditions

None.

Safety Checks

• Validates that rollback_strategy is not empty/null.
• Validates that every step has a verification criteria.

Implementation

See init_plan.ps1.
