-## Deriving Phase Success Criteria
-
-For each phase, ask: "What must be TRUE for users when this phase completes?"
+## Deriving Success Criteria
 
-**Step 1: State the Phase Goal**
-Take the phase goal from your phase identification. This is the outcome, not work.
+Per phase: "What must be TRUE for users when complete?"
 
-- Good: "Users can securely access their accounts" (outcome)
-- Bad: "Build authentication" (task)
+**Step 1:** State goal as outcome ("Users can securely access accounts"), not task ("Build authentication").
 
-**Step 2: Derive Observable Truths (2-5 per phase)**
-List what users can observe/do when the phase completes.
+**Step 2:** 2-5 observable truths. For "secure account access":
+- Create account with email/password
+- Log in, stay logged in across sessions
+- Log out from any page
+- Reset forgotten password
 
-For "Users can securely access their accounts":
-- User can create account with email/password
-- User can log in and stay logged in across browser sessions
-- User can log out from any page
-- User can reset forgotten password
+Each truth verifiable by human using the app.
 
-**Test:** Each truth should be verifiable by a human using the application.
+**Step 3:** Cross-check: criterion -> supporting requirement? Requirement -> contributes to criterion? Gaps = mismatches.
 
-**Step 3: Cross-Check Against Requirements**
-For each success criterion:
-- Does at least one requirement support this?
-- If not → gap found
+**Step 4:** Resolve gaps:
 
-For each requirement mapped to this phase:
-- Does it contribute to at least one success criterion?
-- If not → question if it belongs here
-
-**Step 4: Resolve Gaps**
-Success criterion with no supporting requirement:
-- Add requirement to REQUIREMENTS.md, OR
-- Mark criterion as out of scope for this phase
-
-Requirement that supports no criterion:
-- Question if it belongs in this phase
-- Maybe it's v2 scope
-- Maybe it belongs in different phase
-
-## Example Gap Resolution
+| Gap | Options |
+|-----|---------|
+| Criterion without requirement | Add to REQUIREMENTS.md OR mark out of scope |
+| Requirement without criterion | Reassign phase, defer v2, or move phase |

-## Deriving Phases from Requirements
-
-**Step 1: Group by Category**
-Requirements already have categories (AUTH, CONTENT, SOCIAL, etc.).
-Start by examining these natural groupings.
-
-**Step 2: Identify Dependencies**
-Which categories depend on others?
-- SOCIAL needs CONTENT (can't share what doesn't exist)
-- CONTENT needs AUTH (can't own content without users)
-- Everything needs SETUP (foundation)
-
-**Step 3: Create Delivery Boundaries**
-Each phase delivers a coherent, verifiable capability.
-
-Good boundaries:
-- Complete a requirement category
-- Enable a user workflow end-to-end
-- Unblock the next phase
-
-Bad boundaries:
-- Arbitrary technical layers (all models, then all APIs)
-- Partial features (half of auth)
-- Artificial splits to hit a number
+## Deriving Phases
 
-**Step 4: Assign Requirements**
-Map every v1 requirement to exactly one phase.
-Track coverage as you go.
+1. **Group by category** (AUTH, CONTENT, SOCIAL, etc.)
+2. **Map dependencies** (SOCIAL->CONTENT->AUTH->SETUP)
+3. **Create delivery boundaries** — each phase = coherent, verifiable capability

+| Good | Bad |
+|------|-----|
+| Complete requirement category | Arbitrary technical layers |
+| End-to-end user workflow | Partial features |
+| Unblocks next phase | Artificial number-hitting splits |
 
-**Integer phases (1, 2, 3):** Planned milestone work.
+4. **Assign every v1 requirement** to exactly one phase.
 
-**Decimal phases (2.1, 2.2):** Urgent insertions after planning.
-- Created via `/vector:insert-phase`
-- Execute between integers: 1 → 1.1 → 1.2 → 2
+## Numbering
 
-**Starting number:**
-- New milestone: Start at 1
-- Continuing milestone: Check existing phases, start at last + 1
+Integer (1,2,3) = planned. Decimal (2.1,2.2) = urgent insertions via `/vector:insert-phase` (1->1.1->1.2->2). New milestone starts at 1; continuing = last+1.

+## Granularity
 
-Read granularity from config.json. Granularity controls compression tolerance.
+From config.json:
 
-| Granularity | Typical Phases | What It Means |
-|-------------|----------------|---------------|
-| Coarse | 3-5 | Combine aggressively, critical path only |
-| Standard | 5-8 | Balanced grouping |
-| Fine | 8-12 | Let natural boundaries stand |

-**Key:** Derive phases from work, then apply granularity as compression guidance. Don't pad small projects or compress complex ones.

-## Step 1: Receive Context
-
-Orchestrator provides:
-- PROJECT.md content (core value, constraints)
-- REQUIREMENTS.md content (v1 requirements with REQ-IDs)
-- research/SUMMARY.md content (if exists - phase suggestions)
-- config.json (granularity setting)
-
-Parse and confirm understanding before proceeding.
-
-## Step 2: Extract Requirements
-
-Parse REQUIREMENTS.md:
-- Count total v1 requirements
-- Extract categories (AUTH, CONTENT, etc.)
-- Build requirement list with IDs
-
-```
-Categories: 4
-- Authentication: 3 requirements (AUTH-01, AUTH-02, AUTH-03)
-- Profiles: 2 requirements (PROF-01, PROF-02)
-- Content: 4 requirements (CONT-01, CONT-02, CONT-03, CONT-04)
-- Social: 2 requirements (SOC-01, SOC-02)
-
-Total v1: 11 requirements
-```
-
-## Step 3: Load Research Context (if exists)
-
-If research/SUMMARY.md provided:
-- Extract suggested phase structure from "Implications for Roadmap"
-- Note research flags (which phases need deeper research)
-- Use as input, not mandate
-
-Research informs phase identification but requirements drive coverage.
-
-## Step 4: Identify Phases
-
-Apply phase identification methodology:
-1. Group requirements by natural delivery boundaries
-2. Identify dependencies between groups
-3. Create phases that complete coherent capabilities
-4. Check granularity setting for compression guidance
-
-## Step 5: Derive Success Criteria
-
-For each phase, apply goal-backward:
-1. State phase goal (outcome, not task)
-2. Derive 2-5 observable truths (user perspective)
-3. Cross-check against requirements
-4. Flag any gaps
-
-## Step 6: Validate Coverage
-
-Verify 100% requirement mapping:
-- Every v1 requirement → exactly one phase
-- No orphans, no duplicates
-
-If gaps found, include in draft for user decision.
-
-## Step 7: Write Files Immediately
-
-**ALWAYS use the Write tool to create files** — never use `Bash(cat << 'EOF')` or heredoc commands for file creation.
-
-Write files first, then return. This ensures artifacts persist even if context is lost.
-
-1. **Write ROADMAP.md** using output format
-
-2. **Write STATE.md** using output format
-
-3. **Update REQUIREMENTS.md traceability section**
-
-Files on disk = context preserved. User can review actual files.
-
-## Step 8: Return Summary
-
-Return `## ROADMAP CREATED` with summary of what was written.
-
-## Step 9: Handle Revision (if needed)
-
-If orchestrator provides revision feedback:
-- Parse specific concerns
-- Update files in place (Edit, not rewrite from scratch)
-- Re-validate coverage
-- Return `## ROADMAP REVISED` with changes made
-
+1. **Receive Context** — Parse PROJECT.md, REQUIREMENTS.md, research/SUMMARY.md (if exists), config.json. Confirm understanding.
+2. **Extract Requirements** — Count v1, extract categories, build ID list.
+3. **Load Research** (if exists) — Extract suggested phases, note flags. Input not mandate.
+4. **Identify Phases** — Group by delivery boundaries, map dependencies, create coherent phases, apply granularity.
+5. **Derive Success Criteria** — Goal-backward per phase: goal->truths->cross-check->flag gaps.
+6. **Validate Coverage** — Every v1 requirement->one phase. No orphans/duplicates. Gaps in draft.
+7. **Write Files** — Use Write tool (never heredoc). Write ROADMAP.md, STATE.md, update REQUIREMENTS.md traceability. Files first, then return.
+8. **Return** `## ROADMAP CREATED` with summary.
+9. **Revision** (if needed) — Parse concerns, Edit in place, re-validate, return `## ROADMAP REVISED`.

-
-**Don't skip coverage validation:**
-- Bad: "Looks like we covered everything"
-- Good: Explicit mapping of every requirement to exactly one phase
-
-**Don't write vague success criteria:**
-- Bad: "Authentication works"
-- Good: "User can log in with email/password and stay logged in across sessions"
-
-**Don't add project management artifacts:**
-- Bad: Time estimates, Gantt charts, resource allocation, risk matrices
-- Good: Phases, goals, requirements, success criteria
-
-**Don't duplicate requirements across phases:**
-- Bad: AUTH-01 in Phase 2 AND Phase 3
