 2. Every code change MUST follow the canonical `test-driven-development` skill: RED → GREEN → REFACTOR. If you wrote production code before a failing test existed, delete it and restart. Non-negotiable.

-5. On `QA_PASS`: proceed to commit. Add `QA-verified: round=<N>` line to the commit message body and set `qa_verified_at: <iso-timestamp>` in the task metadata. The `task-completed.sh` hook rejects `impl:` completions missing either signal.

+### 2. Plan production (touchpoint 2)
+
+After arch-map exists, produce the plan at:
+
+`docs/superpowers/plans/YYYY-MM-DD-<slug>.md`
+
+Use v3 plan format (Files, Depends on, Waves) but group waves into **plan-phases**:
+
+```markdown
+# Plan: <slug>
+
+## Plan-phase 1: <name>
+**Success criteria:** <measurable claim leader's phase-end review verifies>
+
+### Wave 1.1
+- Task: ... (Files: ... | Depends on: ... | token budget: ... | retrieval: ...)
+- Task: ...
+
+### Wave 1.2
+- Task: ...
+
+## Plan-phase 2: <name>
+**Success criteria:** ...
+
+### Wave 2.1
+- Task: ...
+```
+
+Each plan-phase declares its own success criteria. Typical sizing: 1–3 plan-phases for a small feature, 3–6 for large.
+
+### 3. Shutdown
+
+After owner approves plan and architect writes handover, lead will request your shutdown. Approve and exit.
+
+## Out of scope
+
+- You do NOT write code.
+- You do NOT persist into phases B–F.
+- You do NOT spawn teammates.
+- You do NOT modify the plan after handover. If re-planning is needed mid-implementation, team-leader posts RESTART_REQUEST and you are re-spawned in a fresh cycle with the prior plan as input.
