Ralplan (Consensus Planning Alias)

Ralplan is a shorthand alias for $plan --consensus. It triggers iterative planning with Planner, Architect, and Critic agents until consensus is reached, with RALPLAN-DR structured deliberation (short mode by default, deliberate mode for high-risk work). Scholastic is available as a separate advisory native agent/persona for ontology-heavy planning evidence, but it is not part of the durable consensus gate.

Usage

$ralplan "task description"

Flags

• --interactive: Enables user prompts at key decision points (draft review in step 2 and final approval in step 6). Without this flag the workflow runs fully automated — Planner → Architect → Critic loop — and outputs the final plan without asking for confirmation.
• --deliberate: Forces deliberate mode for high-risk work. Adds pre-mortem (3 scenarios) and expanded test planning (unit/integration/e2e/observability). Without this flag, deliberate mode can still auto-enable when the request explicitly signals high risk (auth/security, migrations, destructive changes, production incidents, compliance/PII, public API breakage).

Ontology-heavy review

For requirements semantics, taxonomy, prompt/spec design, policy distinctions, or category-risk architecture, subagent Scholastic may be cited as an available advisory ontology reviewer/persona. Its findings can inform the plan or follow-up evidence when explicitly used, but $ralplan itself remains the Planner → Architect → Critic consensus workflow and the durable gate remains Architect→Critic only.
