What it does

Plan Round is an agent skill from Arch1eSUN/Arcgentic. Use when starting a new round (substrate-touching / fix-round / admin) to generate a complete handoff doc from scope + prior-round context. Dispatches the planner sub-agent and validates output before writing.

Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Subagents. The repository describes itself as: Mechanical plan/dev/self-audit/external-audit gates for AI coding agents, with a configurable role-routing topology engine, an MCP-UI live status panel, and native-tooling Claude… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Starting a new round (substrate-touching / fix-round / admin) to generate a complete handoff doc from scope + prior-round context
  • Tasks that involve Subagents

Example prompts

  • “/plan-round”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Validate round_name matches the pattern R[.[.]] or R-.
  2. Validate prior_round_anchor is a full 40-character hex SHA (NOT short).
  3. Shell out to the CLI
  4. Read the CLI's stdout — it contains either
  5. Report to the user: handoff path, section count, dispatch order, and any warnings.
  6. If validation failed (exit code 1 or 2): explain the failure + suggest a fix

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8539955. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • pipx
    • pip

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use pipx and pip, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Plan Round loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 55 tokens; SKILL.md has 408 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~55
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

plan-round
description
Use when starting a new round (substrate-touching / fix-round / admin) to generate a complete handoff doc from scope + prior-round context. Dispatches the planner sub-agent and validates output before writing.

plan-round

Generates a round handoff at docs/superpowers/plans/{YYYY-MM-DD}-{round_name}-handoff.md by dispatching the planner sub-agent with a self-contained brief, then validating its output against the corresponding handoff template (18 / 12 / 10 section).

When to invoke

  • User says "let's plan R{N}" or "create handoff for R{N}"
  • User runs /plan-round slash-command
  • A new round-name appears in conversation without a corresponding handoff doc

Prerequisites

Requires the arcgentic CLI installed (the Python toolkit):

  • Stable: pipx install arcgentic (post-v0.2.0 PyPI release)
  • Dev (in this repo): cd toolkit && pip install -e ".[dev]"

The CLI runs in a subprocess; this markdown skill is the thin shim that invokes it.

For V1 rounds with external workflow inputs, first validate source/spec context:

bash
arcgentic source-intake validate docs/source-intake/*.yaml
arcgentic capability-registry build <marketplace-catalog.json>
arcgentic spec-governance status <change-dir>

For projects with project.session_mode already set, include the inherited mode and dispatch order in the handoff instead of asking again:

bash
arcgentic orchestrator-dispatch \
  --round <round_name> \
  --handoff <handoff-path> \
  --mode <single-session|multi-session>

Inputs

Parse from $ARGUMENTS (passed by Claude Code):

  • round_name — e.g. "R10-L3-aletheia" or "R1.6.1"
  • round_type — one of: substrate-touching | fix-round | entry-admin | close-admin | meta-admin-sweep
  • prior_round_anchor — full 40-char SHA of prior round's last commit
  • scope_description — optional 1-3 sentence scope (can be filled later in handoff)

If any required input is missing, ASK the user before proceeding.

Workflow

When invoked with all inputs:

  1. Validate round_name matches the pattern R<phase>[.<round>[.<fix>]] or R<phase>-<name>.

  2. Validate prior_round_anchor is a full 40-character hex SHA (NOT short).

  3. Shell out to the CLI:

    arcgentic plan-round-impl \
  --round=<round_name> \
  --type=<round_type> \
  --anchor=<prior_round_anchor> \
  --scope=<scope_description>

  4. Read the CLI's stdout — it contains either:

    • plan-round succeeded: wrote <path> + section_count + loc + (optional) warnings
    • FAILED: <error> (exit code 1 or 2)

  5. Report to the user: handoff path, section count, dispatch order, and any warnings.

  6. If validation failed (exit code 1 or 2): explain the failure + suggest a fix (re-run with correct anchor, etc.).

Failure modes

  • Missing args: ask the user.
  • CLI not installed: instruct user to pipx install arcgentic or pip install -e toolkit/.
  • CLI returns FAILED with TBD/TODO/XXX warning: this is the planner self-check working — the planner's output had unfilled placeholders. Re-run with more specific --scope=... OR open the handoff file at the reported path and fill the placeholders manually.
  • Section count mismatch: the planner produced wrong number of sections. Possible causes: template files (templates/handoff_*) updated but skill cache stale — surface as a bug.
