Cross-agent plan

Ask a peer running a different agent backend to draft (or critique) a plan, so the planning perspective is genuinely independent.

Resolve the planner backend

1. Explicit argument — if the user named a backend, use it.
2. Configured default — else:

   repowire config get skills.default_planner_backend
   

   (Empty output means unset.)
3. Safe fallback — else pick an online peer on a backend different from yours, or ask the user. Never default to your own backend; never hardcode one.

Discover peers/backends: list_peers() (MCP) or repowire peer list (CLI).

Run the planning round

1. Find (or, with the user's go-ahead, spawn — see delegate) a peer on the chosen backend.
2. Send the task + constraints and ask for a concrete step-by-step plan.
   • MCP: ask(peer_name, "Draft an implementation plan for: <task + constraints>")
   • Tracked ask is MCP-only (no CLI lifecycle equivalent — repowire peer ask is a synchronous test utility, not this).
3. ask returns a correlation_id; the peer replies via ack(corr_id, <plan>).
4. Critique/merge the returned plan with your own; chain follow-ups with ask(reply_to=corr_id, ...).

Keep the brief tight — state the goal, the constraints, and what a good plan must cover, so the cross-agent plan is comparable to your own.
