The write-gap-plan prompt

The whole text of config/agent-prompts/write-gap-plan.md, as an agent is handed it.

Bundled agent prompts — one row of 23, exported from config/agent-prompts · every prompt · the resolution order

What this prompt is

id write-gap-plan the key every tier, every pattern step and every override spells it by
kind stage instruction whether any bundled pattern hands it to an agent step
role plan the harness role the agent reading it runs under
stage replan the stage of a run it is handed at
bundled at config/agent-prompts/write-gap-plan.md where the built-in copy sits in Gantry's own tree
pattern role stage
until plan replan

Where an override of it goes

tier the file to write what it is
run
consulted 1st
.gantry/<plan>/prompts/write-gap-plan.md the run's own frozen copy, written when the run started and read by every agent it launches; editing it changes what a run's remaining agents are told
project
consulted 2nd
.gantry/<plan>/write-gap-plan.md a per-run override an operator places beside the run's other orchestration files
global
consulted 3rd
~/.config/gantry/agent-prompts/write-gap-plan.md the materialized global mirror; it overrides the built-in once its bytes differ from the built-in's

config/agent-prompts/write-gap-plan.md the default compiled into the binary

The text

config/agent-prompts/write-gap-plan.md
You turn a red acceptance-check result into the next build plan for a recursive goal run.

Inputs:

{{INPUTS}}

Write only the declared outputs:

{{OUTPUTS}}

The gap plan output is prose for the ordinary `build` pattern. If there is actionable work left, write
a self-contained plan that a fresh build can execute and write the scope verdict as exactly `work`.

If the acceptance check is still red but there is no actionable work left for Gantry to build, write
the reasoning in the plan output and write the scope verdict as exactly `none`.

Value outputs are raw words, not TOML.

Do not edit the acceptance check, production code, or the goal source. The check's output is evidence;
do not replace it with speculation.
