# Voyage — Command flag reference

Per-command flag tables, imported from `CLAUDE.md` via pointer.

## /trekbrief modes

| Flag | Behavior |
|------|----------|
| _(default)_ | Question round sized by class (`small` / `bounded` / `architectural`), brief-review gate, approval → brief.md with research plan |
| `--quick` | Proposes `small` as the class (still said aloud, overridable, raised when the task proves bigger) → brief.md with research plan |
| `--gates [true\|false\|closed\|open]` | (v3.4.0) Autonomy flag: bare, `true` or `closed` = on; `false` or `open` = off; any other next token is not its value. See `## Autonomy mode` in `docs/operations.md`. |
| `--approve <project-dir \| brief-file>` | (veikart steg 1) No interview: show the existing brief's `## Intent` + `## Goal` (+ `## Threat Model` when present) verbatim, ask the operator to approve, and on "Approve" stamp `intent_approved_hash` + `intent_approved_at`. The remedy `/trekplan` names when it halts on `BRIEF_INTENT_NOT_APPROVED` / `BRIEF_INTENT_APPROVAL_STALE`. |

Always interactive. Phase 3 puts the task in a size class (`ceremony:`, K1; heaviest in doubt, said aloud, overridable, only moved up) and asks one round of questions within the class budget (`small` 4, `bounded` 8, `architectural` 12 per round), recommendation first, facts looked up instead of asked, a visible Deferred list; it also asks where the brief is stored (`artifact_store: git | local`). Phase 4 runs a `brief-reviewer` stop-gate with 1 / 2 / 3 review iterations by class. Phase 4h takes only an explicit "Approve" («høres bra ut» and an empty answer are refused by `lib/util/approval-log.mjs answer`), stamps the brief, appends the approval to the target repo's log (`approval-log.mjs append`, K2) and commits it (`lib/util/artifact-commit.mjs`: the log always, the brief when `git`). After that, asks the user to choose manual (print commands) or auto (Claude runs research + plan in foreground).

## /trekresearch modes

| Flag | Behavior |
|------|----------|
| _(default)_ | Interview + research (local + external) + synthesis + brief (foreground) |
| `--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 research) |
| `--external` | Only external research agents (skip codebase analysis) |
| `--fg` | No-op alias (foreground is default since v2.4.0) |
| `--gates [true\|false\|closed\|open]` | (v3.4.0) Autonomy flag: bare, `true` or `closed` = on; `false` or `open` = off; any other next token is not its value. See `## Autonomy mode` in `docs/operations.md`. |
| `--min-brief-version <ver>` | (S18) Warn — never block — if an attached `--project` brief declares a version below `<ver>` (e.g. `2.2`), i.e. sidesteps framing enforcement |

Flags combine: `--project <dir> --local`, `--external --quick`.

## /trekplan 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/trekplan-{date}-{slug}.md` |
| `--research <brief> [brief2]` | Enrich with extra research briefs beyond what is in `{project_dir}/research/` |
| `--fg` | No-op alias (foreground is default since v2.4.0) |
| `--quick` | Plan directly (no agent swarm) |
| `--min-brief-version <ver>` | (S18) Warn — never block — if the brief declares a version below `<ver>` (e.g. `2.2`), i.e. sidesteps framing enforcement |
| `--export headless <plan>` | Legacy alias for `--decompose` — the only remaining export format (the `pr` / `issue` / `markdown` variants were removed; Claude reformats a plan ad-hoc on request) |
| `--decompose <plan>` | Split plan into self-contained session specs + `orders.md` (one starter line per session) |
| `--gates [true\|false\|closed\|open]` | (v3.4.0) Autonomy flag: bare, `true` or `closed` = on; `false` or `open` = off; any other next token is not its value. See `## Autonomy mode` in `docs/operations.md`. |

**Breaking change (v2.0):** one of `--brief` or `--project` is required. There is no interview inside `/trekplan`. The `--spec` flag has been removed — use `/trekbrief` to produce a brief instead.

**Approval gates (no flag turns them off).** Phase 1 halts unless the brief's intent marker is current (`intent-approval.mjs --check`) AND the target repo's approval log is intact and holds that intent (`approval-log.mjs verify --kind intent`; `broken`, `diverged`, `not-logged` or `mismatch` halt; remedy `/trekbrief --approve`). Phase 1 also reads `ceremony` (absent = `architectural`) and `artifact_store` (absent = `local`). Phase 11 asks for an explicit plan approval before any handoff, logs it bound to `plan.md`'s sha256 and commits it (the plan itself only when `artifact_store: git`); "execute" does not start on "Not yet".

If `{project_dir}/architecture/overview.md` exists (typically produced by an opt-in upstream architect plugin, not bundled), the plan command auto-discovers it and treats `cc_features_proposed` as priors. Missing file is fine — discovery is additive, not required.

## /trekexecute 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 |
| `--gates [true\|false\|closed\|open]` | (v3.4.0) Autonomy flag: bare, `true` or `closed` = on; `false` or `open` = off; any other next token is not its value. See `## Autonomy mode` in `docs/operations.md`. `/trekexecute` accepts the flag and pauses on nothing; it adds no question of its own before a merge: the guard asks there (operator decision 2026-10-08). |

Every mode that executes refuses a plan whose approval in the approval log does not cover its current sha256 (K2). A run ends with the review it starts by itself (`/simplify` → `/trekreview` → verdict gate); a BLOCK or an undecided verdict keeps the merge into main closed. `MAX_REVIEW_ROUNDS` in `lib/review/review-rounds.mjs` (3) caps the reviews per run; `/trekreview` refuses a fourth round.

## /trekreview modes

| Flag | Behavior |
|------|----------|
| _(default)_ | Claude Code `/code-review` + `/security-review` (engine, via the Skill tool, never `--fix`), then brief-conformance + code-correctness reviewers in parallel, coordinator dedup + verdict, write `{project_dir}/review.md` with the required `verdict:`, decide with `lib/review/verdict-gate.mjs` (0 ALLOW, or WARN with every counting MAJOR answered · 1 BLOCK · 2 never green), the operator answers each counting MAJOR (Phase 8.8), propose recurring finding classes as project memory (operator approves each line) |
| `--project <dir>` | **Required.** Path to trekplan project folder containing `brief.md`. Review is written to `{dir}/review.md` |
| `--since <ref>` | Override "before" SHA for the diff range. Validated via `git rev-parse --verify` |
| `--quick` | `/code-review` + code-correctness reviewer only; skip brief-conformance reviewer, `/security-review` and the coordinator's reasonableness filter except the brief-conflict rule — fast correctness-only pass |
| `--answers` | Only the operator's answers to the counting MAJORs (Phase 8.8) on the existing `{dir}/review.md`, then the verdict gate. No reviewer and no write of findings: it opens no new round and counts nothing against the cap |
| `--validate` | Schema-only check on existing `{dir}/review.md` plus the verdict gate. No LLM calls. A 1.0 review without `verdict:` fails here (it still seeds a plan in soft mode) |
| `--dry-run` | Print discovered scope + triage map; skip writes |
| `--fg` | No-op alias (foreground is default) |

## /trekcontinue modes

| Flag | Behavior |
|------|----------|
| _(default)_ | Auto-discover active project's `.session-state.local.json` and resume |
| `<project-dir>` | Resume the next session of an explicit project directory |

The triage gate is deterministic — path-pattern classifier produces `{file → deep-review|summary-only|skip}`. Hard refuse-with-suggestion above 100 files / 100K diff tokens.
