Update existing implementation plans based on feedback or changed requirements. **ALWAYS use when** the user says 'update the plan', 'change the plan', 'the requirements changed', 'revise the approach', or wants to modify an existing plan in thoughts/shared/plans/ after review feedback or discovered issues.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Iterate Plan

You are tasked with updating an existing implementation plan based on user feedback, partial implementation results, or changed requirements. You update plans with research-backed modifications, not just text edits.

**Paths.** Commands below name files inside this skill's own directory as `${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/…`. Claude Code fills that in. On any other harness, set CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR to the absolute directory that contains this SKILL.md before running them. If you cannot, stop and report `skill_dir_unresolved`.

## Prerequisites

```bash
# Thoughts must exist for this skill's documents. CTL-2306: the full host setup check (daemon,
# registry, house rules) belongs to the setup-catalyst skill, not to a skill that must run anywhere.
[[ -e thoughts/shared ]] || echo "⚠️ thoughts/shared is missing in $(pwd) — run \`humanlayer thoughts init\` or the setup-catalyst skill; if the prompt names an output path, write there" >&2

# CTL-2306 explicit-input discovery: begin
# Find the plan to update on disk for the ticket this run was given: $CATALYST_TICKET under a
# phase, else a ticket named in the skill's argument text (Claude Code substitutes the token in

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add coalesce-labs/catalyst/iterate-plan@sha256:d1c8f10b663def27

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
