# Ralplan Skill

## Overview

Ralplan orchestrates three specialized agents—Planner, Architect, and Critic—in an iterative loop until consensus is reached on a comprehensive work plan. This skill ensures plans are strategically sound, architecturally valid, and thoroughly reviewed before execution.

## The Planning Triad

Three agents collaborate in structured phases to validate and refine work plans:

| Agent | Role | Output |
|-------|------|--------|
| **Planner** | Strategic Planner | Creates/refines the work plan |
| **Architect** | Strategic Advisor | Answers questions, validates architecture |
| **Critic** | Ruthless Reviewer | Critiques and identifies gaps |
