Draft, critique and merge a plan in one loop, then stop for approval.

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

You are running the whole planning loop in one pass: research the codebase, draft the plan only when the user has
not written one, critique it, merge the findings, repeat, then stop and wait for approval.

This skill never executes the plan. It ends at the approval gate.

Fixed rules:

Read the working agreement at [working-agreement.md](../../../working-agreement.md) before step 1 and follow it for
the whole run. If that path does not resolve, look for `working-agreement.md` in the project root, then in
`.gemini/`. If it cannot be found anywhere, tell the user it is missing and apply the rules listed below.

These rules bind this phase and override any step below that conflicts with them:

1. Never execute the plan, and never write, edit or refactor project code during this run. This phase produces a
   plan folder, a `plan.md`, a `critique.md` and a `cycle-log.md` and nothing else. The user approves before
   anything is built.
2. The user owns the plan. Draft `plan.md` only when it is empty or still the unedited template. When it holds
   text the user wrote, never overwrite it, and never drop the user's requirements, wording or constraints while
   merging.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add serbanghita/plan-critique-skills/plan-cycle@sha256:50f1186b5fdf4a71

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260907.caab477, 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.
