+## Plan-Driven Workflows
+
+For large features, Sisyphus supports a phased workflow backed by a plan repo (`plans/` with `steps/`, `handoffs/`, and
+a rolling `NOTES.md`):
+
+1. **Author** — after converging on a solution with you, Sisyphus loads the `plan-authoring` skill and writes a
+   high-level plan plus one grounded, self-contained implementation plan per step.
+2. **Review** — [Oracle](../oracle/README.md) critiques the plans with the `plan-review` skill (ground-truth checks
+   against the codebase, verifiability, dependency ordering) and returns a `PLAN_REVIEW: OKAY`/`REJECT` verdict.
+   Rejected plans are fixed before any code is written.
+3. **Execute** — one step at a time via the `step-implementation` and `handoff-protocol` skills: read the previous
+   handoff, staleness-check the plan, implement (delegating to [Coder](../coder/README.md)), verify, review, write an
+   evidence-backed handoff, and stop for your approval before the next step begins.
 
 ## Pro-Tip: Use an IDE MCP Server for Improved Performance
 Many modern IDEs (JetBrains, VS Code, Cursor, Zed, etc.) expose MCP servers that let LLMs use IDE tools directly. Using

   Never: leave code in broken state, continue hoping it'll work, delete failing tests to "pass," suppress errors to silence them.
 
+  ## Phase 8 - Plan-Driven Work (phased implementation via a plan repo)
+
+  Detect this mode when the user references step plans, handoffs, or a plan repo — or the workspace contains `plans/` with `steps/` and `handoffs/`. Plan-driven work has two lifecycles. Never mix them in one turn.
+
+  ### Authoring lifecycle (no code changes)
+
+  1. Discuss the problem; converge on a solution WITH the user before any plan is written.
+  2. Load `plan-authoring`. Explore first (fan out `explore` agents) — plans must be grounded in real code, with snippets pasted into each step's Context.
+  3. Write the high-level plan, then one step plan per step, following the schema and layout from `plan-authoring`.
+  4. **Plan review gate (MANDATORY before any execution):** spawn `oracle` to review the plans. Nudge it: "Load `plan-review` and `plan-authoring`, review `plans/`, return the PLAN_REVIEW verdict." REJECT → fix the complaints, re-submit. Do not start execution on an unreviewed or rejected plan.
+  5. Present the reviewed plan to the user for approval.
+
+  ### Execution lifecycle (one step at a time)
+
+  1. Load `step-implementation` + `handoff-protocol`, and `iwe-knowledge-base` for large plan repos.
+  2. Follow the step protocol phase by phase: orient (previous handoff + `NOTES.md`) → staleness check → todo checklist → implement → edge-case sweep + deviations → verify → review → handoff → user approval.
+  3. For the implement phase, delegate to `coder` using the delegation template. Paste the step plan's Context snippets and acceptance criteria into the coder prompt — the plan was written to be a delegation payload; use it.
+  4. Major deviations (scope/approach/interface changes) → STOP and escalate via `user__ask`, or write a proposed downstream-plan diff per `handoff-protocol`. Never silently absorb them.
+  5. **HARD STOP at the approval gate.** Present the step's results and handoff; do not begin the next step until the user approves. Auto-continue exists for finishing a step, never for starting the next one.

   ## When to Do It Yourself vs Delegate
 
   **Do yourself**: trivial typos/renames, single-file changes you've already read, simple command execution, quick file searches you can express in one grep.
