Wave 1, order 3 (P3 plan mode as the start, P2 design as its own part, P9
plan side). Contracts K3-K6 for the later merges.
- plan_version 1.8 (1.7 plans stay valid): Test first on every step, one
End-to-end ("run the thing") step, optional Interface in / Interface out /
Review focus fields, a ceremony class in the header (absent =
architectural), and for architectural plans a ## Design part: module map
without cycles, architecture rules that name their enforcer and the step
that proves them, a requirements check asked as keep / change.
- K3 lib/validators/plan-gate.mjs: the critic verdict is recorded INSIDE the
plan (Claude Code's plan approval hands a hook only the plan file's text),
bound to the hash taken before the reviewers read it; 0 go / 1 stop / 2
could not run; at most 3 critic rounds, then stop and ask.
- K5 lib/verification/arch-rules.mjs: runs the target repo's own
dependency-cruiser or import-linter (installs nothing; 2 = not measured,
never green); --prove --rule shows pass -> fail on a planted violation of
that rule -> pass. Verified against dependency-cruiser 18.5.0 and
import-linter 2.15; madge 8.0.0 left out (missed a planted .mjs cycle).
- K6 lib/verification/plan-scope-sweep.mjs: changed files no step names.
- /trekplan Phases 8-10: design part, bounded critic loop, the gate before
"execute", a plan-mode path through ExitPlanMode (not yet run end to end
inside plan mode). plan-critic 10 -> 12 dimensions; scope-guardian checks
the ceremony.
- Fixed on the way: plan-validator and plan-review-dedup used the
file://argv[1] main guard (no-op under a symlink or a space); CRLF plans
failed every manifest; the dedup dropped finding severity.

# trekplan
|
||
|
||
Voyage — a contract-driven Claude Code pipeline: brief, research, plan, execute, review, continue. Deep implementation planning and research with specialized agent swarms, external research, adversarial review, session decomposition, disciplined execution, and headless support.
|
||
|
||
**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. The load-bearing benefit is the parallel wall-clock + structured artifact handoffs; main-context relief is asserted-by-design, not measured (Δ ≈ 0 in the one PoC — see `docs/T1-synthesis-poc-results.md`).
|
||
|
||
> **Architecture slot.** The plan command auto-discovers `architecture/overview.md` if present — any compatible producer plugs in (the architect plugin is no longer publicly distributed). Migration history (v3.0.0 extraction) → [CHANGELOG.md](CHANGELOG.md).
|
||
|
||
> **Trinity context (informational).** Voyage is Tier 1 (per-task) of a three-tier architecture. **Asymmetry is a hard invariant:** Voyage stays unaware of Tier 2/3; Handover 1 (brief format) is the only integration point, no producer is privileged, and brief-schema changes are breaking for downstream consumers (formalized as a public contract in v5.5.0). Tier 2/3 producer detail + the public contract → `docs/HANDOVER-CONTRACTS.md` §Handover 1 (PUBLIC CONTRACT).
|
||
|
||
> **Cross-cutting invariant: brief framing must match operator intent.** The brief is the pipeline's source of truth; operator intent lives in memory files — the pipeline must not polish a wrong premise. Enforced as the `brief_version 2.2` gate (v5.5), all BLOCKER for briefs declaring ≥ 2.2: (1) explicit `framing: preserve|refine|replace|new-direction` frontmatter, `AskUserQuestion`-validated in `/trekbrief` Phase 2.5; (2) memory-alignment as `brief-reviewer` dimension 6; (3) mandatory `## TL;DR`. Existing 2.0/2.1 briefs stay valid; `trekreview` briefs are exempt. Full implementation + contract evolution → `docs/HANDOVER-CONTRACTS.md` §Handover 1 (PUBLIC CONTRACT).
|
||
|
||
> **Binding rule (operator decision, 2026-09-27): Voyage never starts Claude Code.**
|
||
> Nothing Voyage ships may start a Claude Code session or model run: no `claude`
|
||
> CLI line, no Agent SDK, no spawned binary, no launch script. Work that needs
|
||
> another session becomes an order plus a starter line the user gives a session
|
||
> they open themselves (`/trekexecute` Phase 2.6, `lib/util/session-orders.mjs`);
|
||
> parallel work inside one session uses subagents. Enforced by
|
||
> `tests/lib/no-claude-code-launch.test.mjs`; its exemption list holds historical
|
||
> mentions plus one operator instrument (operator decision, 2026-10-02:
|
||
> `docs/proevesett.md` tells a person how to run Anthropic's plugin eval tool on
|
||
> the fixed test set; Voyage itself starts nothing), each with a reason and an
|
||
> exact count.

## Commands
|
||
|
||
| Command | Description | Orchestrator model |
|
||
|---------|-------------|--------------------|
|
||
| `/trekbrief` | Brief — interactive interview produces a task brief with explicit research plan; ends with the operator approving `## Intent` + `## Goal` (`--approve <dir>` does only that, then writes the trekbrief record); optionally orchestrates the pipeline | session |
|
||
| `/trekresearch` | Research — deep local + external research, produces structured research brief. Opt-in `--engine {swarm\|deep-research}` delegates the external phase to Claude Code's built-in `/deep-research` workflow (swarm default) | session |
|
||
| `/trekplan` | Plan — brief-reviewer, explore, plan, review. Requires `--brief` or `--project`; halts unless the brief's intent is approved (hash-bound, stale on edit). Auto-discovers `architecture/overview.md` if present. Plan 1.8: `Test first:` per step + one `End-to-end:` step; a design part for `ceremony: architectural` (absent = architectural); critic loop of max 3 rounds, recorded in the plan, and `plan-gate.mjs` (0 go / 1 stop / 2 could not run) decides | session |
|
||
| `/trekexecute` | Execute — disciplined plan/session-spec executor with failure recovery | session |
|
||
| `/trekreview` | Review — independent post-hoc review of delivered code against the brief. Produces `review.md` with severity-tagged findings (Handover 6) | session |
|
||
| `/trekcontinue` | Continue — resumes the next session of a multi-session voyage project. Reads `.session-state.local.json` (Handover 7) and immediately begins executing | session |
|
||
| `/trekendsession` | End-session — mark the current session complete and write session-state pointing at the next session. Helper for informal multi-session flows | session |
|
||
|
||
`session` = command frontmatter pins no `model:` (since v5.9.0), so the orchestrator follows the session model; sub-agent models come from the profile (see Model & effort below).
|
||
|
||
Full flag reference for each command (modes, `--gates`, `--profile`, breaking changes): see `docs/command-modes.md`.
|
||
|
||
> **STORM bounded loop — default-off, env-gated.** `/trekresearch` Phase 4.5
|
||
> (dimension discovery, under the existing `maxDimensions: 8` ceiling) and
|
||
> Phase 5 (bounded multi-turn follow-up) run only at `effort: high` **and** only
|
||
> when `VOYAGE_STORM_ENABLED=1`; unset, both are inert — Phase 5 because
|
||
> `lib/util/research-loop-cap.mjs` grants a budget of 0, Phase 4.5 because its
|
||
> skip-guard reads the flag directly (it never calls the cap). `TREKRESEARCH_MAX_CONV_TURNS` (default `3`,
|
||
> invalid values fall back to `3`) sets turns per dimension; the budget is that
|
||
> × `maxDimensions`. `VOYAGE_DISABLE_CAP_HOOK=1` switches off
|
||
> `hooks/scripts/pre-agent-cap.mjs`, the `PreToolUse` gate that enforces the
|
||
> budget in the harness rather than trusting prose. The cap counts turns from
|
||
> its own append-only ledger. Adoption as a default is gated on the
|
||
> pre-registered measurement in `docs/storm-measurement.md` — decline is a
|
||
> no-op, adopt is one constant.

||
> **Inventory (S33 reconcile, updated v5.10.1).** 23 agent files = **20 spawnable** (one, `synthesis-agent`, ships **dormant** — Δ≈0, wired to nothing) **+ 3 orchestrator reference docs** (`planning-/research-/review-orchestrator` document the inline `/trek*` workflow, not spawnable capabilities). All 23 stay `model: opus` (operator pin `40d8742`); the glue/mechanical/retrieval/dormant roles were reconsidered for a sonnet downgrade and **kept opus** — decision record: `docs/voyage-vs-cc-balance-analysis.md` §10.
|
||
|
||
> **Model & effort.** On the Anthropic API, `opus` = Opus 5.5 and `sonnet` = Sonnet 5.5 (both default reasoning effort `medium`); `fable` = Fable 5.1 (the most capable model in Claude Code; default `high`, so xhigh must be chosen explicitly). An agent without `effort:` inherits the session level. Eight agents pin native per-spawn `effort: high` and the rest follow the session; none pins below `high` — a different axis from brief `phase_signals.effort` (orchestration shape: which agents/passes run). Per-agent table + axes → `docs/profiles.md` §Model & effort axes.
