Extract interview from /ultraplan-local into new /ultrabrief-local command.
/ultraplan-local now requires --brief or --project (breaking). All pipeline
artifacts land in one project directory: .claude/projects/{date}-{slug}/
with brief.md, research/, plan.md, sessions/, progress.json.
Breaking changes:
- /ultraplan-local requires --brief <path> or --project <dir>
- /ultraplan-local --spec removed (convert specs to briefs per MIGRATION.md)
- Interview phase moved to /ultrabrief-local
- spec-reviewer renamed to brief-reviewer with 5th dimension (Research Plan validity)
Added:
- /ultrabrief-local command (interactive interview → brief.md with research plan)
- templates/ultrabrief-template.md (task brief format with intent + research plan)
- brief-reviewer agent (5-dimension brief quality review)
- --project <dir> flag on /ultraresearch-local, /ultraplan-local, /ultraexecute-local
- MIGRATION.md (v1 → v2 upgrade guide)
Changed:
- planning-orchestrator accepts Brief file: input (was Spec file:)
- planning-orchestrator Phase 1b uses brief-reviewer
- README + CLAUDE.md rewritten for four-command pipeline and task/research brief terminology
- CHANGELOG.md [2.0.0] entry with rationale
- Marketplace root README + CLAUDE.md updated to v2.0.0

# ultraplan-local
|
||
|
||
Deep implementation planning and research with an explicit brief step, 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 (brief → research → plan → execute) produces a structured artifact that the next step consumes.
|
||
|
||
## Commands
|
||
|
||
| Command | Description | Model |
|
||
|---------|-------------|-------|
|
||
| `/ultrabrief-local` | Brief — interactive interview produces a task brief with explicit research plan; optionally orchestrates the pipeline | opus |
|
||
| `/ultraresearch-local` | Research — deep local + external research, produces structured research brief | opus |
|
||
| `/ultraplan-local` | Plan — brief-reviewer, explore, plan, review. Requires `--brief` or `--project` | opus |
|
||
| `/ultraexecute-local` | Execute — disciplined plan/session-spec executor with failure recovery | opus |
|
||
|
||
### /ultrabrief-local modes
|
||
|
||
| Flag | Behavior |
|
||
|------|----------|
|
||
| _(default)_ | Full interview (5-8 questions) → brief.md with research plan |
|
||
| `--quick` | Short interview (3-4 questions) → brief.md with research plan |
|
||
|
||
Always interactive. After writing the brief, asks the user to choose manual (print commands) or auto (Claude runs research + plan in foreground).
|
||
|
||
### /ultraresearch-local modes
|
||
|
||
| Flag | Behavior |
|
||
|------|----------|
|
||
| _(default)_ | Interview + background research (local + external) + synthesis + brief |
|
||
| `--project <dir>` | Write brief to `{dir}/research/{NN}-{slug}.md` (auto-incremented) |
|
||
| `--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 combine: `--project <dir> --local --fg`, `--external --quick`.
|
||
|
||
### /ultraplan-local modes
|
||
|
||
| Flag | Behavior |
|
||
|------|----------|
|
||
| `--project <dir>` | **Required path A** — read `{dir}/brief.md`, auto-discover `{dir}/research/*.md`, write `{dir}/plan.md` |
|
||
| `--brief <path>` | **Required path B** — plan from a specific brief file; write to `.claude/plans/ultraplan-{date}-{slug}.md` |
|
||
| `--research <brief> [brief2]` | Enrich with extra research briefs beyond what is in `{project_dir}/research/` |
|
||
| `--fg` | All phases in foreground (blocking) |
|
||
| `--quick` | 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 |
|
||
|
||
**Breaking change (v2.0):** one of `--brief` or `--project` is required. There is no interview inside `/ultraplan-local`. The `--spec` flag has been removed — use `/ultrabrief-local` to produce a brief instead.
|
||
|
||
### /ultraexecute-local modes
|
||
|
||
| Flag | Behavior |
|
||
|------|----------|
|
||
| _(default)_ | Execute plan — auto-detects Execution Strategy for multi-session |
|
||
| `--project <dir>` | Read `{dir}/plan.md`, write `{dir}/progress.json` |
|
||
| `--resume` | Resume from last progress checkpoint |
|
||
| `--dry-run` | Validate plan structure without executing |
|
||
| `--validate` | Schema-only check — parse steps + manifests, report `READY \| FAIL`, no execution |
|
||
| `--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 |
|
||
|
||

## Architecture
|
||
|
||
**Brief:** 7-phase workflow: Parse mode → Create project dir → Interactive interview (adaptive depth) → Identify research topics → Write `brief.md` → Manual/auto opt-in → Stats. Always interactive. Auto mode blocks foreground until plan is ready.
|
||
|
||
**Research:** 8-phase workflow: Parse mode → Interview → Background transition → Parallel research (5 local + 4 external + 1 bridge) → Follow-ups → Triangulation → Synthesis + brief → Stats. With `--project`, writes to `{dir}/research/NN-slug.md`.
|
||
|
||
**Plan:** 12-phase workflow: Parse mode (validate brief input) → Background transition → Codebase sizing → Brief review (`brief-reviewer`) → Parallel exploration (6-8 agents) → Deep-dives → Synthesis → Planning → Adversarial review (`plan-critic` + `scope-guardian`) → Present/refine → Handoff. With `--project`, writes to `{dir}/plan.md`.
|
||
|
||
**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`) → Phase 7.5 manifest audit → Phase 7.6 bounded recovery (if partial) → Report. With `--project`, reads `{dir}/plan.md` and writes `{dir}/progress.json`.
|
||
|
||
**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:** `/ultrabrief-local` produces the task brief. `/ultraresearch-local --project <dir>` fills in `{dir}/research/`. `/ultraplan-local --project <dir>` reads brief + research to produce `{dir}/plan.md`. `/ultraexecute-local --project <dir>` executes and writes `{dir}/progress.json`. All artifacts live in one project directory.
|
||
|
||
## State
|
||
|
||
All artifacts in one project directory (default):
|
||
- Project root: `.claude/projects/{YYYY-MM-DD}-{slug}/`
|
||
- `brief.md` (task brief from `/ultrabrief-local`)
|
||
- `research/{NN}-{slug}.md` (research briefs from `/ultraresearch-local --project`)
|
||
- `plan.md` (from `/ultraplan-local --project`)
|
||
- `sessions/session-*.md` (from `--decompose`)
|
||
- `progress.json` (from `/ultraexecute-local --project`)
|
||
|
||
Legacy paths (still work without `--project`):
|
||
- Research briefs: `.claude/research/ultraresearch-{date}-{slug}.md`
|
||
- Plans: `.claude/plans/ultraplan-{date}-{slug}.md`
|
||
- Sessions: `.claude/ultraplan-sessions/{slug}/session-*.md`
|
||
- Launch scripts: `.claude/ultraplan-sessions/{slug}/launch.sh`
|
||
- Progress: `{plan-dir}/.ultraexecute-progress-{slug}.json`
|
||
|
||
Stats:
|
||
- Brief stats: `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA}/ultrabrief-stats.jsonl`
|
||
- Plan stats: `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA}/ultraplan-stats.jsonl`
|
||
- Exec stats: `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA}/ultraexecute-stats.jsonl`
|
||
- Research stats: `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA}/ultraresearch-stats.jsonl`
|
||
|
||
## Terminology
|
||
|
||
- **Task brief** — produced by `/ultrabrief-local`. Declares intent, goal, and research plan. Drives planning.
|
||
- **Research brief** — produced by `/ultraresearch-local`. Answers a specific research question. Feeds planning.
|
||
|
||
A project typically has 1 task brief and 0–N research briefs.
