# /autoplan driver: run the review loop from a parent agent

Read this file instead of `autoplan/SKILL.md` when you (a parent agent on any host) drive an
unattended /autoplan run through `gstack-autoplan`: the reviewers are subagents you dispatch,
and the runner keeps the state. The commands live in `<root>/bin/`, where `<root>` is the
folder that holds this `autoplan/` directory; `gstack-autoplan --help` and the first `next`
print `DRIVER: <root>/autoplan/DRIVER.md`. Run every command with the `GSTACK_LAUNCH`
assignments your installer printed. Read printed lines and files, never prose: every workflow
command ends with `GSTACK_RESULT: skill=autoplan status=<s> run=<dir>`, and every error line
ends with `(<CODE>)`.

## Phases and scope

{{AUTOPLAN_DRIVER_PHASES}}
The first `next` prints `SCOPE: ui=… (terms; visual; files) dx=… (detected) source=ui:<s>,dx:<s>`
(each axis is `flag`, `marker` or `detected`). UI needs a rendered file path or a UI term next
to a visual noun in the Implementation plan. To keep flags for later runs on the same plan, add
the `SCOPE_PIN:` marker it prints (`<!-- gstack-autoplan-scope: … -->`) as the plan's first
line yourself; gstack never writes the plan.

## The loop

1. `next` prints one `ATTEMPT: <id> phase=<p> voice=native|outside prompt=<file> result=<file>`
   per voice. Dispatch the native prompt to a subagent on your model and the outside prompt to
   a subagent on another model family (or `gstack-outside-voice run`). Each writes `result=`.
2. Submit each voice exactly once (`BOUND:`). Both voices in closes the phase (`PHASE_CLOSED:`).
3. Repeat `next` until `status=gate_pending` (`GATE: gate_rev=<n>`); render it with
   `gstack-gate render <dir>/gate.json --all` and relay every page. You never approve the
   gate for the owner. Offer `rec` (every recommendation, plan changes included) as the default.
4. `answer` with the owner's reply and `--by human` (the owner typed the tokens) or
   `--by agent:<id> --owner-reply "<their words>"` (you relayed them); without `--by` an
   unattended run refuses (`ANSWER_BY_REQUIRED`). `APPLY: <id> <title> -> <change>` lines are
   accepted plan changes (status `amend_pending`): edit the plan, then `revise` (the printed
   `NEXT:` names it), or `revise --settle <id>` when the line says no plan edit is needed. Until
   then `next` refuses with `PLAN_AMEND_PENDING` and `export` will not mark the run complete.
5. `REOPENED: <phases>` means loop `next` again (Eng last). `APPROVED:` means `export`.

### On Capy

- Always drive `gstack-autoplan`; never hand-adapt `autoplan/SKILL.md`. A plan you reviewed by
  hand is not an autoplan run: do not present it as one.
- Every prompt ends with a `GSTACK TRAILER` block: the reviewer runs the `--for review-voice`
  install on its own machine (no ./setup, no skills; seconds when warm) and starts its reply
  with the `gstack:` line. Never tell a reviewer that no install is needed; relay each
  reviewer's line with its result, and treat a missing line as `gstack: fail not-installed`.
- Set `GSTACK_AUTOPLAN_CHECKPOINT_DIR` to the private project-user Drive folder (or opt every run in
  with `gstack-config set autoplan_checkpoint drive`) so a run survives machine replacement: a
  generation is published at rest, after each bound voice and after each phase transition; restore
  with `resume --out <new dir> --from <dir>/<run>`, which never redispatches a bound voice.
- Plans carry `## Before → after`, `## Why it matters`, `## What caused this work`, `## Big decisions`;
  relay the printed `RELAY: gstack-owner-brief render --captain` output to your Captain (or the person),
  then `gstack-approvals import --autoplan <dir>` after `answer` (`capy/skill/gstack/captain.md`).

### Commands

{{AUTOPLAN_DRIVER_COMMANDS}}

## Reviewer result format

Every prompt ends with this contract; `submit --result` enforces it, `submit --record` accepts
the looser record shapes above.

{{AUTOPLAN_DRIVER_RESULT_FORMAT}}

## Gate replies

A reply binds to the `gate_rev` you read (`--gate-rev`). Bare `yes`/`no` is unparsed, never guessed.

{{AUTOPLAN_DRIVER_GATE}}

## Run directory

{{AUTOPLAN_DRIVER_FILES}} Reviewer files: `<phase>-native-prompt.md`,
`<phase>-outside-prompt.md`, `<phase>-<voice>.<attempt>.md` (the reviewer writes it), its sealed
`<phase>-<voice>.<attempt>.bound.md` (what submit bound), `<phase>-consensus.{json,md}`,
`gate.json`, `decisions.jsonl`. `export` writes `plan.md`, `review-record.md`, `findings.jsonl`,
`tasks.jsonl`, `timing.json` and rehashes `run.json`; `gstack-artifact validate <dir>/run.json`
is the completion check. Copy the whole directory, never single files.
