# Plan Execution Consistency

> `analysis-agent`/`task-agent`/`review-agent`: use when diff, behavior, validation, review, or re-review may drift from an accepted plan; skip without a closure consistency need.

# plan-execution-consistency

## Registry Trigger

**Use when**

- plan execution consistency planned files actual changed files extra file stale validation unplanned behavior review scope repair re-review final handoff
- plan drift actual diff differs validation before final edit partial validation reported as full extra generated file missing planned file

**Do not use when**

- no task-local plan execution consistency decision is required

## Skill Role

Reconcile the visible plan with actual changed files, behavior, commands, validation, review coverage, and unresolved discrepancies.

## High-Value Rules

- Audit actual changes and evidence against the accepted plan or capsule.
- Record and explain any unplanned path, omitted path, or changed assumption that affects acceptance or evidence.
- Require fresh validation evidence after the final repository edit.
- Require explicit validation coverage for every changed file in scope.
- After repair, reconcile the latest diff, fresh validation, and re-review before closure.

## Anti-Patterns

- An extra generated file can indicate editing the wrong source.
- A repaired finding invalidates review of the prior diff.
- Planned scope does not excuse an unreviewed actual change.

## Stop Conditions

- Block closure when changed paths are unexplained, validation predates the last edit, any changed file is unreviewed, or repair lacks re-review.
- Escalate intentional behavior or scope changes not covered by acceptance.

## Output Contract

- Return a plan-to-actual diff: state changed-file variance, behavior mapping, post-edit validation, review coverage, unverified scope, and residual risk
