# ultraplan-local

Deep implementation planning and research with interview, specialized agent swarms, external research, adversarial review, session decomposition, disciplined execution, and headless support. A local alternative to Anthropic's Ultraplan.

**Design principle: Context Engineering** — build the right context by orchestrating specialized agents. Each step in the pipeline (research -> plan -> execute) produces a structured artifact that the next step consumes.

## Commands

| Command | Description | Model |
|---------|-------------|-------|
| `/ultraresearch-local` | Research — deep local + external research, produces structured brief | opus |
| `/ultraplan-local` | Plan — interview, explore, plan, review | opus |
| `/ultraexecute-local` | Execute — disciplined plan/session-spec executor with failure recovery | opus |

### /ultraresearch-local modes

| Flag | Behavior |
|------|----------|
| _(default)_ | Interview + background research (local + external) + synthesis + brief |
| `--quick` | Interview (short) + inline research (no agent swarm) |
| `--local` | Only codebase analysis agents (skip external + Gemini) |
| `--external` | Only external research agents (skip codebase analysis) |
| `--fg` | All phases in foreground (blocking) |

Flags can be combined: `--local --fg`, `--external --quick`.

### /ultraplan-local modes

| Flag | Behavior |
|------|----------|
| _(default)_ | Interview + background planning (non-blocking) |
| `--spec <path>` | Skip interview, use provided spec |
| `--research <brief> [brief2]` | Enrich planning with pre-built research brief(s) |
| `--fg` | All phases in foreground (blocking) |
| `--quick` | Interview + plan directly (no agent swarm) |
| `--export <pr\|issue\|markdown\|headless> <plan>` | Generate shareable output from existing plan |
| `--decompose <plan>` | Split plan into self-contained headless sessions |

`--research` can combine with `--spec`, `--fg`, and `--quick`.

### /ultraexecute-local modes

| Flag | Behavior |
|------|----------|
| _(default)_ | Execute plan — auto-detects Execution Strategy for multi-session |
| `--resume` | Resume from last progress checkpoint |
| `--dry-run` | Validate plan structure without executing |
| `--step N` | Execute only step N |
| `--fg` | Force foreground — run all steps sequentially, ignore Execution Strategy |
| `--session N` | Execute only session N from plan's Execution Strategy |

## Agents

| Agent | Model | Role |
|-------|-------|------|

| architecture-mapper | sonnet | Codebase structure, tech stack, patterns |
| dependency-tracer | sonnet | Import chains, data flow, side effects |
| task-finder | sonnet | Task-relevant files, functions, reuse candidates |
| risk-assessor | sonnet | Risks, edge cases, failure modes |
| test-strategist | sonnet | Test patterns, coverage gaps, strategy |
| git-historian | sonnet | Recent changes, ownership, hot files |
| research-scout | sonnet | External docs for unfamiliar tech (conditional, planning only) |
| convention-scanner | sonnet | Coding conventions: naming, style, error handling, test patterns |
| spec-reviewer | sonnet | Spec quality check before exploration |
| plan-critic | sonnet | Adversarial plan review (9 dimensions) |
| scope-guardian | sonnet | Scope alignment (creep + gaps) |
| session-decomposer | sonnet | Splits plans into headless sessions with dependency graph |
| docs-researcher | sonnet | Official documentation, RFCs, vendor docs (Tavily, MS Learn) |
| community-researcher | sonnet | Community experience: issues, blogs, discussions |
| security-researcher | sonnet | CVEs, audit history, supply chain risks |
| contrarian-researcher | sonnet | Counter-evidence, overlooked alternatives |
| gemini-bridge | sonnet | Gemini Deep Research second opinion (conditional) |

## Architecture

**Research:** 8-phase workflow: Parse mode -> Interview -> Background transition -> Parallel research (5 local + 4 external + 1 bridge) -> Follow-ups -> Triangulation -> Synthesis + brief -> Stats.

**Plan:** 12-phase workflow: Parse mode -> Interview -> Background transition -> Codebase sizing -> Spec review -> Parallel exploration (6-8 agents) -> Deep-dives -> Synthesis -> Planning -> Adversarial review -> Present/refine -> Handoff.

**Decompose:** Parse plan -> Analyze step dependencies -> Group into sessions -> Identify parallel waves -> Generate session specs + dependency graph + launch script.

**Execute:** Parse plan -> Security scan (Phase 2.4) -> Detect Execution Strategy -> Single-session (step loop) or multi-session (parallel waves via `claude -p` with scoped `--allowedTools`) -> Verification -> Report.

**Security:** 4-layer defense-in-depth: plugin hooks (pre-bash-executor, pre-write-executor), prompt-level denylist (works in headless sessions), pre-execution plan scan (Phase 2.4), scoped `--allowedTools` replacing `--dangerously-skip-permissions`. Hard Rules 14-16 enforce verify command security, repo-boundary writes, and sensitive path protection.

**Pipeline:** Research briefs feed into planning via `--research`. The planning orchestrator uses brief context to enrich exploration and skip redundant research.
