SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Codex-side plan refinement tackles unclear, bloated plans by sharpening intent, improving reuse of existing patterns, and ensuring verifiability before /stream or /dominion.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Clarifies stream titles and tasks to reduce ambiguity and improve execution speed
  • Encourages reuse of existing components and patterns to minimize duplication
  • Strengthens verification coverage and compression for efficient handoffs
  • Supports safer, faster execution through better plan hygiene

Quick Start

Provide a concise refinement pass on an existing Codex plan, focusing on clarity, reuse, and verification before proceeding to /stream or /dominion.

FAQPage Schema
How do I refine a code generation plan before execution?

Refine a code generation plan by sharpening task clarity, compressing unnecessary detail, and verifying dependencies to ensure safe execution. This process reduces ambiguity and promotes reuse of existing components before final handoff.

What is plan compression in code generation workflows?

Plan compression in code generation workflows reduces bloated instructions to essential details while maintaining verifiability. It ensures cleaner dependency checks and encourages abstraction, making execution safer and significantly faster.

When do I need to optimize a plan before running /stream or /dominion?

Optimize a plan before running /stream or /dominion when it lacks a status file or suffers from unclear tasks. Refinement corrects dependency issues, checks reuse patterns, and ensures verification coverage.

Does plan refinement check for existing component reuse?

Yes, plan refinement actively checks for existing component reuse to minimize code duplication. It evaluates current plans against available patterns and strengthens abstraction before execution begins.

What is the best way to reduce ambiguity in development plans?

Reduce ambiguity in development plans by applying a refinement pass that clarifies stream titles and tasks. This strengthens verification coverage and ensures dependencies are checked before execution.

Can I use plan refinement for workflows without a status file?

Yes, plan refinement is specifically designed for workflows lacking a status file. It provides a concise optimization pass to improve clarity, verify dependencies, and compress details before execution.
