backpressure-plan is an archived example, not installed by init. Copy it from examples/init-pack/ with its dependency closure, or ask create-workflow to build an equivalent, then run it with the command below.
backpressure-plan turns a goal and its acceptance criteria into a gate matrix:
each criterion maps to a verification method (schema, unit/integration test,
eval, review, approval, or trace) and an enforcement policy. Use it before building
or running an automation, so every “done” claim needs proof by evidence and the
workflow can’t silently skip parts it couldn’t finish.
Stages
- extract-criteria: split the prompt into a flat list of atomic, verifiable acceptance criteria; a goal with none fails the run loudly instead of producing an empty gate matrix.
- plan-gates: map each criterion to a
verificationMethod,gateType(blocking / warning / informational), owner, failure action, evidence required, and whether human approval is needed. Every blocking criterion must map to a real verification method. - verify: deterministic (no agent) parity check of the matrix against the extracted criteria (one gate per criterion, same order, verbatim text), returning
{ match, criteriaCount, gateCount, missing, unverifiedBlocking, summary }.
