📖About & Usage

Owner agent — accountability this droid serves

Elrond sets the strategic direction for every initiative entering Carol—deciding which ones matter, breaking them into phases and modules, setting budget limits, and making go/no-go decisions at the phase level. IP-S1 covers the first part: taking new initiatives that are ready to go but don't have a plan yet, and building the initial plan structure so work can actually begin.

Droid responsibility

IP-S1 helps Elrond avoid manual plan creation by automatically producing a structured plan for each new initiative—modules, phases, steps, and success criteria. Once the plan exists, the initiative can move from 'planned' status to 'active' and the rest of the pipeline can start actual execution.

What the droid actually does

• Reads new initiatives marked as planned with no plan yet
• Generates modules, phases, plan steps, and success criteria for the initiative
• Links plan steps to roadmap references
• Changes the initiative status from planned to active
• Alerts Merlin (the execution layer) that an initiative is ready for task-level planning
• Escalates to Orion if it gets stuck

Boundaries

Does not handle day-to-day task planning or agent dispatch—that's Merlin's tactical layer. Does not replan mid-flight when work gets blocked or changes—the Dependency Planner handles that. Does not review finished initiatives or track their outcomes—Initiative Review owns that. Does not make phase-level continue/stop decisions—Elrond makes those by reading droid outputs. Currently a stub pending Gap 14 completion.
