The Plan Phase

The Plan phase takes your clean charter and produces a technical implementation plan. Run /auro.plan and the agent generates architecture decisions, phase gates, and supporting documents.

Phase 0 — Research: Resolves all remaining [NEEDS CLARIFICATION] items. Produces research.md documenting decisions, rationale, and rejected alternatives.

Phase 1 — Design: Creates the technical architecture. Produces data models, API contracts, and quickstart validation scenarios.

Before any design work begins, the plan runs a constitution check. The three gates must pass:

  1. Simplicity Gate — Is the architecture minimal?
  2. Anti-Abstraction Gate — Are frameworks used directly?
  3. Integration-First Gate — Do contracts exist?

If a gate fails, the plan explains why and suggests corrections.
