Plan Growth Loop

Plan Growth Loop

Generate prioritized growth loops from the Skene CLI. The CLI does the planning, not you.

Agent behavior rules

• Autonomous. Run the CLI, present results, suggest next step. No mid-flow questions unless there's a genuine blocker.
• CLI is the source of truth. If uvx skene plan fails, report the error. Do NOT generate your own growth loops.
• User cannot type into agent terminals. Pipe safe defaults for routine prompts. Kill stuck terminals and re-run.

Steps

1. Discover CLI options Run uvx skene plan --help to see available flags. Use only flags that appear in the output.

2. Verify analysis exists ls .skene/analysis/ 2>/dev/null || ls skene-context/ 2>/dev/null || ls skene/ 2>/dev/null If missing: "Run /skene-analyze first." Stop.

3. Generate growth plan Run uvx skene plan with appropriate flags from --help output. If it fails, report error. Do NOT make up growth loops.

4. Present CLI output Read results from .skene/plans/, skene-context/growth-loops/, or skene/growth-loops/ and present loops by priority.

5. Help user choose Ask which loop to implement — this is the one genuine decision point.

6. Store selection Use the appropriate CLI flag from --help to store the selection (e.g. --select). If the command prompts for input, pipe the answer. If no select flag exists, write to .skene/active-loop.json directly.

7. Next step "Run /skene-build to generate the implementation plan."

Error handling

• CLI failure: Report error, suggest fix. Do NOT fabricate growth loops.
• Permission errors: Give user the command for their terminal.

Output

Loops found, selection stored, next step (/skene-build).
