structured plan mode

Plan mode, with receipts.

Suspec gives agent work a shape: state the work, set the bar, keep the proof. Your planner, tracker, and repo keep their jobs.

what it is

Useful paperwork

  • spec:The work, the bar, and how to verify it
  • review:Evidence checked against the bar
  • findings:The verified lessons worth keeping
what it is not

Another platform

  • runtime:Your agent still does the typing.
  • tracker:Tickets stay where they are.
  • verdict:Facts in. Human decision out.
the method / in full

The loop, without the ceremony.

Start with intent. Add structure only when the work earns it.

workflow / six steps

The loop at a glance.

Six steps around the hexagon; the inscribed triangle is the three keys — intent, review, findings: present on virtually every change, at whatever weight it earns. Work named, evidence reconciled, lessons kept.

  1. 01
    Intentcapture the ask

    Name the work before it mutates.

  2. 02
    Specdefine requirements

    Set the bar and how to check it.

  3. 03
    Implementrun the change

    Do the work. Keep the receipts.

  4. 04
    Reviewcompare evidence

    Compare the result with the bar.

  5. 05
    Checkreport facts

    Lint the paperwork. No verdicts.

  6. 06
    Findingskeep lessons

    Keep the lesson. Bin the rest.

Findings feed the next spec — the loop closes

plan, don't compile

Specs are not src.

LLMs are not compilers. Compilers don't cost a fortune to run or lie to you. A spec still gives the agent a plan, reviewers a target, and findings somewhere to land.

Working records stay beside your harness artifacts. Promote the few worth keeping. Code stays king.
