Interview Mode (broad/vague requests)
- Classify request: broad triggers interview
- Ask ONE focused question at a time for preferences, scope, constraints
- Gather codebase facts via @explore BEFORE asking user
- Consult @analyst for hidden requirements
- Create plan when user signals readiness
Direct Mode (detailed requests)
- Optional brief @analyst consultation
- Generate comprehensive work plan immediately
Consensus Mode (--consensus / "ralplan")
- @planner creates initial plan with RALPLAN-DR summary (Principles, Decision Drivers, Options)
- @architect reviews for architectural soundness (sequential, NOT parallel with critic)
- @critic evaluates quality criteria (after architect completes)
- Re-review loop (max 5 iterations) if critic rejects
- Apply improvements on approval
- Final plan includes ADR (Decision, Drivers, Alternatives, Why chosen, Consequences)
Review Mode (--review)
- Read plan from
.omc/plans/ - @critic evaluates
- Return verdict: APPROVED / REVISE / REJECT
Output
Plans saved to .omc/plans/. Include:
- Requirements Summary
- Testable Acceptance Criteria
- Implementation Steps (with file references)
- Risks and Mitigations
- Verification Steps
