ac-plan

The ac-plan skill serves as the formal gatekeeper for the TEN framework agent execution lifecycle. It is designed for developers and autonomous agents to transition from an exploratory phase into a structured delivery phase. By mandating the creation of an Execution Contract, this skill ensures that all subsequent operations are bound by a defined scope, clear boundaries, and explicit success criteria, reducing the risk of drift or unintended state changes during the execution phase.

• Automatically initializes PROJECT_STATE.md using provided templates to maintain architectural consistency.

• Enforces comprehensive documentation of goals, forbidden modifications, and specific acceptance check mechanisms.

• Manages state flags including PLAN_FROZEN and CURRENT_ROLE to facilitate state machine transitions.

• Facilitates hand-offs to the ac-execute module only after validation of contract completeness.

• Tracks project progress via top-priority task lists and critical decision logging to maintain auditability.

• Always trigger this skill when transitioning from ideation to delivery, or after any significant change in project requirements.

• Ensure all fields within the Execution Contract are populated before attempting to trigger subsequent skills; incomplete contracts will block the execution chain.

• Use this for defining rollback procedures, which are essential for maintaining system stability in complex multi-agent environments.

• The output includes a formal state anchor that acts as the entry point for downstream task-specific skills.

• Operates as a critical safety mechanism, preventing the execution of unverified or ill-defined tasks within the agent portal workspace.
