/phase-plan

Take an existing flat or unstructured plan and restructure it into phased execution with /verify gates after each phase and critical steps.

Structured execution spec: protocol.yon. Read it for the canonical rules and step sequence; this file is explanation. The two must stay in sync — if you edit one, update the other and refresh the @STAMP date.

Plan Restructuring Protocol — transforms any plan into a gated, phased structure for structural legibility and explicit checkpointing. Restructure, never delete. All original content is preserved.

What is /verify?

/verify is a verification gate — a point where execution stops and the current state is validated before proceeding. When you encounter a /verify gate in a restructured plan:

1. Review what the gate specifies
2. Verify each condition is met
3. Only continue to the next phase/step once the gate passes

If /verify is not a recognized command in your session, replace it with an explicit user confirmation prompt: pause, state what you're verifying, and wait for the user to confirm before continuing.
