Close Plan

SKILL: Close Plan (Plan Completion Workflow)

Purpose: Archive completed plans and create git commits with safe push retry logic Target: Coder Agent after implementing all Success Criteria

Quick Start

When to Use This Skill

• Finalize completed plans
• Archive plan to done/ folder
• Create git commit with Co-Authored-By attribution
• Push to remote with retry logic

Quick Reference

# Full workflow
/03_close [RUN_ID|plan_path] [no-commit] [no-push] [--force]

# Steps: Load+Verify+TODO Gate → Evidence Verify → Docs Sync+Verify → Move+Git → Worktree Merge

Execution Directive

CRITICAL: NEVER skip any step - agent MUST verify execution of each step before proceeding to the next. All steps MUST execute in order. Do NOT pause between steps.

⛔ MAIN ORCHESTRATOR RESTRICTIONS (ABSOLUTE)

FORBIDDEN (orchestrator direct use prohibited):

• Direct evidence verification without Task tool
• Direct TODO gate resolution without agent delegation
• Direct documentation sync without Task tool

MANDATORY (must delegate via Task tool):

• Step 1 TODO analysis: Task: subagent_type: validator before user escalation
• Step 2 evidence verification: Task: subagent_type: validator
• Step 3 docs sync: Task: subagent_type: documenter (conditional)

TRIVIAL EXCEPTIONS (no delegation needed):

• Argument parsing, file existence check, timestamp/directory creation, git commit formatting

WHY: Subagent isolation provides 50-80% context savings (CLAUDE.md:58-59)

Execution Steps (Summary)

Step 0: Mandatory Oracle Consultation (NEW)

• Purpose: Pre-close quality verification
• GPT Role: QA Expert - Completion quality assessment
• Pattern: mandatory_oracle_consultation before proceeding
• Graceful Fallback: Continue if Codex CLI unavailable

Step 1: Load Plan + Verify SCs + TODO Gate

• Find active plan with absolute path detection
• Parse arguments (plan_path, no-commit, no-push, force)
• Check for incomplete Success Criteria
• TODO Completion Check (BLOCKING): Count unchecked - [ ] items
  • Delegate to validator agent for TODO analysis and resolution attempt
  • Exit if validator cannot resolve (unless --force flag)
  • Full implementation: @REFERENCE.md - TODO Completion Gate
• TaskList Verification: Verify all tasks completed via TaskList tool
• Exit if no plan or SCs incomplete

Step 2: Evidence Verification

• Launch validator agent
• Extract and run verify commands from Success Criteria
• Distinguish between "no verify commands" and "verify failed"
• Exit if verification fails

Step 3: Documentation Sync + Verify (Conditional)

• Check for documentation-relevant changes
• If changes detected: Launch documenter agent
• If no changes: Skip with message "No documentation update needed"
• Exit if verification fails
• See @.claude/agents/documenter/REFERENCE.md for condition check logic

Step 4: Archive + Git

• Move plan to .pilot/plan/done/YYYYMMDD/
• TaskUpdate: Mark plan task as completed
• Create git commit with Co-Authored-By
• Push with retry (3 attempts, 2s/4s/8s backoff)
• Skip commit/push if flags set

Step 5: Worktree Merge (Optional)

• Trigger if worktree context exists
• Squash merge to main branch
• Cleanup worktree and branch

What This Skill Covers

In Scope

• Plan path detection (absolute paths)
• Success Criteria verification
• Evidence verification (validator agent)
• Documentation sync + verify (documenter agent, single call)
• Plan archival to done/
• Git commit with Co-Authored-By
• Git push with retry (3 attempts, exponential backoff)
• Worktree auto-merge to main branch with cleanup

Out of Scope

• Advanced git workflows → @.claude/skills/git-master/SKILL.md
