# Planning Regression Sentinel

## Mission
We need this skill because large goals fail when decomposition is inconsistent or incomplete. This specific skill prevents unnoticed quality drift after updates.

## Activation Cues
- Task requires baseline-delta detection in Strategic Planning and Decomposition.
- Task needs explicit risk controls, approval gates, and traceable outcomes.
- Task output must include artifact handoff for humans and agents.

## Execution Plan
1. Define the scope and success metrics for `Planning Regression Sentinel`, including at least three measurable KPIs tied to execution stalls and hidden dependency failures.
2. Design and version the input/output contract for goals, dependencies, milestones, and constraints, then add schema validation and failure-mode handling.
3. Implement the core capability using baseline-delta detection, and produce regression watchlists with deterministic scoring.
4. Integrate the skill into swarm orchestration: task routing, approval gates, retry strategy, and rollback controls.
5. Add unit, integration, and simulation tests that explicitly cover execution stalls and hidden dependency failures, then run regression baselines.
6. Deploy behind a feature flag, monitor telemetry/alerts for two release cycles, and iterate thresholds based on observed outcomes.

- None specified.

Execution:
- None specified.

Recovery:
- None specified.

Handoff:
- None specified.

## Guardrails
- [quality] Require validations before promoting outputs.

## Success Metrics
- Primary metric: execution stalls
- Secondary metrics: hidden dependency failures, decision drift
- Review cadence: weekly

## Output Contract
- Return a concise execution summary with key decisions.
- Return risk and mitigation notes with unresolved blockers.
- Return artifact target: `regression watchlists`.
- Return recommended follow-up tasks for next wave execution.
