SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Automates structured, collaborative planning for complex projects by selecting between interactive interviews and direct planning.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Auto-detect interview vs direct mode based on request specificity.
  • Consensus mode with Planner/Architect/Critic loop and structured RALPLAN-DR deliberation.
  • Review mode evaluating and refining existing plans.
  • One-question-at-a-time interview flow and evidence-based planning with codebase facts gathering.
  • ADR-style final documentation and planning handoffs for execution.

Quick Start

Provide a project brief and let the AI generate a structured plan using the Planner/Architect/Critic loop

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate collaborative planning for complex projects?

Automate collaborative planning by providing a project brief to trigger a Planner, Architect, and Critic loop. This structured consensus workflow deliberates requirements and generates evidence-backed plans with architecture decision records for execution.

What is consensus mode in AI-guided project planning?

Consensus mode in AI-guided planning uses a structured RALPLAN-DR deliberation loop involving a Planner, Architect, and Critic. This multi-step workflow evaluates project requirements iteratively to generate evidence-backed plans for high-stakes initiatives.

How do I gather project requirements using an interactive AI interview?

Gather project requirements by initiating an interactive AI interview that asks one question at a time. The system auto-detects this mode based on request specificity, extracting detailed information to build evidence-based plans grounded in codebase facts.

Can I use AI to review and refine an existing project plan?

You can use AI to review and refine existing project plans through a dedicated review mode. This mode evaluates your current plan, refines high-stakes details, and outputs final ADR-style documentation for structured planning handoffs.

Does AI planning require a detailed project brief to start?

AI planning does not strictly require a detailed project brief. The system auto-detects between direct planning and interactive interviews based on request specificity, guiding you through one-question-at-a-time flows if initial inputs lack detail.

What are the limitations of automated consensus planning for high-stakes initiatives?

Automated consensus planning relies on codebase facts for evidence-backed outputs, meaning insufficient project context limits plan accuracy. The multi-step deliberation loop requires structured inputs to effectively generate ADR-augmented documentation for high-stakes initiatives.
