 ## Browser Verification
 
-**Browser verification is a feature-pipeline capability only.** Refactors use `behavior_preservation` strategy instead to ensure no external behavior changes:
-
-- `strategy: test-gate` — Rely on existing test suite. Pipeline runs tests before and after refactoring.
-- `strategy: snapshot` — Compare behavior before/after refactoring using executable snapshots (outputs, API responses, side effects)
-- `strategy: manual` — Require human verification that behavior is preserved
-
-For refactors that modify UI code (e.g., component restructuring), the test-gate or snapshot strategy ensures visual appearance is preserved. You can optionally note browser verification needs in your description or acceptance criteria:
-
-Example:
-```
-Refactor Title: Extract UserProfile component from AccountSettings
-Type: extract
-Strategy: snapshot
-Acceptance Criteria:
-  1. UserProfile component renders identically to inline version (compare snapshots)
-  2. All props are correctly forwarded (unit tests pass)
-  3. No visual regression (screenshot comparison)
-  4. Component is reusable in other views
-```
-
-The refactor pipeline AI will use the snapshot strategy to verify external behavior is preserved during refactoring.
+Browser verification is a feature-pipeline capability only. Refactors use `behavior_preservation` strategy instead. Read `${SKILL_DIR}/references/planning-phases.md` for strategy details and UI refactoring examples.

 ## Refactoring-Specific Features
 
 ### Behavior Preservation Check
-Every item MUST declare a behavior preservation strategy. Read `${SKILL_DIR}/references/behavior-preservation.md` for strategy details.
-
-| Strategy | When to Use |
-|----------|-------------|
-| `test-gate` | Target area has good test coverage. Run full test suite after each change. |
-| `snapshot` | Compare output/state before and after. Used when tests are insufficient but behavior is observable. |
-| `manual` | Human verification required. Last resort when neither tests nor snapshots are feasible. |
 
-Flag items using `manual` strategy prominently — they carry the highest risk of behavior regression.
+Every item MUST declare a behavior preservation strategy. Read `${SKILL_DIR}/references/behavior-preservation.md` for strategy details. See `${SKILL_DIR}/references/planning-phases.md` for the strategy selection table and manual-strategy flagging rules.
 
 ### Dependency Ordering
-Auto-detect inter-item dependencies and enforce safe ordering:
-1. **Safe renames** first (lowest risk, no structural change)
-2. **Extract/inline** operations (moderate risk, changes module boundaries)
-3. **Structural changes** (higher risk, reorganizes architecture)
-4. **Migrations** last (highest risk, changes patterns/paradigms)
+
+Auto-detect inter-item dependencies and enforce safe ordering. Read `${SKILL_DIR}/references/planning-phases.md` for the full dependency ordering rules (safe renames -> extract/inline -> structural -> migrations).
 
 ### Complexity Assessment
-Assess each item's complexity based on:
-- **File count**: 1-2 files = low, 3-5 files = medium, 6+ files = high
-- **Cross-module scope**: same module = low, 2 modules = medium, 3+ modules = high
-- **Test coverage**: high coverage = reduces complexity, low coverage = increases complexity
-- **Pattern familiarity**: well-known pattern = low, novel restructuring = high
 
-Take the highest of these individual assessments as the item's complexity.
+Assess each item's complexity based on file count, cross-module scope, test coverage, and pattern familiarity. Read `${SKILL_DIR}/references/planning-phases.md` for the full complexity assessment criteria and scoring rules.

+**Gate behavior** — when the session appears to be ending:
 1. **Remind**: "You set out to produce `.prizmkit/plans/refactor-list.json` but we haven't completed it yet."
 2. **Offer 3 options**:
    - **(a) Continue to completion** — resume from current phase

+# Fast Path — Refactor Planner
+
+For simple refactoring with minimal scope.
+
+## Eligibility Criteria (ALL must apply)
+- 1-2 refactor items only
+- Complexity: `low` or `medium` for all items
+- No cross-module impact (all items within same module)
+- Well-known refactoring pattern (rename, extract method/class, inline)
+- Existing test coverage for target area
+
+## Fast Path Workflow
+1. Confirm refactoring scope with user
+2. **User confirmation (mandatory)** — Use `AskUserQuestion` to present interactive selectable options:
+
+   ```
+   AskUserQuestion:
+     question: "This qualifies for fast-path (simple refactoring). How would you like to proceed?"
+     header: "Approach"
+     options:
+       - label: "Fast-path"
+         description: "Skip detailed analysis, draft refactor items directly and add to refactor-list.json"
+       - label: "Full workflow"
+         description: "Use the complete planning workflow with detailed code analysis"
+       - label: "Implement directly"
+         description: "Skip the task list entirely and implement the refactoring right now using /prizmkit-plan + /prizmkit-implement"
+   ```
+
+   - **Fast-path** → Continue with fast-path workflow below
+   - **Full workflow** → Exit fast path, use full workflow from Phase 2
+   - **Implement directly** → Invoke `/prizmkit-plan` directly to create spec + plan, then `/prizmkit-implement` to execute. Do NOT add to `.prizmkit/plans/refactor-list.json`
+
+   **NEVER proceed without explicit user selection via `AskUserQuestion`. Do NOT render options as plain text — the user must be able to click/select.**
+3. Draft items (title + type + scope + description + acceptance_criteria + behavior_preservation + dependencies)
+4. Write draft to `.prizmkit/plans/refactor-list.draft.json`, then call the generate script:
+   ```bash
+   python3 ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/validate-and-generate-refactor.py generate --input .prizmkit/plans/refactor-list.draft.json --output .prizmkit/plans/refactor-list.json
+   ```
+5. If valid -> summarize and recommend next step
+6. If invalid -> apply fixes to the draft, re-run generate (max 2 attempts, then escalate to full workflow)
+
+## When NOT to Use Fast Path
+- More than 2 refactor items
+- Any item with `high` complexity
+- Cross-module impact
+- Architecture migration patterns (Format C goals)
+- No existing test coverage for target area
+

+User: "Rename the auth middleware function from checkAuth to requireAuth everywhere."
+AI: [Detects simple rename, single module]
+AI: [Qualifies for fast path: 1 item, low complexity, no cross-module impact]
+AI: [Uses AskUserQuestion with options: "Fast-path", "Full workflow", "Implement directly"]
+User: [Selects "Fast-path"]
+AI: "Drafting R-001..."
+AI: [Validates immediately]
+AI: "Ready to proceed to dev-pipeline."
