Plan the change from Codex and prepare the execution handoff.

Core contract

• Codex remains the orchestrator.
• Codex owns planning, boundary-setting, and acceptance criteria.
• Claude executes only after Codex has prepared a bounded handoff.

Steps

1. Select the active change with openspec status --change "<change-name>" --json.
2. Read proposal.md, design.md, tasks.md, and all relevant specs/**/*.md.
3. Update the OpenSpec artifacts so they clearly define:

• allowed change surface
• protected surface
• work packages
• required verification
• rework triggers

1. Ensure design.md contains an Execution Handoff Contract section.
2. Ensure tasks.md is broken into concrete execution slices that can be implemented without reopening product decisions.
3. End by preparing the exact bounded packet Codex will later send for execution.

Output

• change id
• execution goal
• allowed/protected file boundaries
• required verification checklist
• next skill: spec-impl

Guardrails

• Do not modify product code in this step.
• Do not ask Claude to decide the plan.
• Do not turn the plan into another round of product design debate.
