plan-interrogate

Restate the plan, extract its decision tree, and resolve each open node in dependency order by asking one question at a time. Each question comes with a recommended answer, and the process ends with a flat decision ledger you can paste into the plan doc.

It is a method that turns every branch point in a plan into a node marked open or resolved. Resolved nodes carry a source tag showing whether the user answered or the answer was inferred from the codebase or existing docs.

Yes. Before asking any question, it checks whether the answer already exists in the codebase, prior commits, or existing documentation. If found, the node is marked resolved with source inferred and the file path.

The node is marked DEFERRED along with the reason you gave, which is distinct from leaving it open. The interrogation only exits when zero nodes remain open, so deferred nodes are explicitly recorded in the final ledger.

Avoid it for trivial plans with no real branch points, where a full decision tree adds overhead without value. It is designed for plans with multiple interdependent open decisions that would otherwise surface as rework during implementation.
