Editable plan
An editable plan is an agent’s proposed sequence rendered as a component the person can reorder, constrain and delete from, rather than prose they can only accept or reject.
Control sits with both parties
When to use it
Multi-step tasks where the person holds context the agent lacks, and any task where approval alone would leave them unable to fix a step they can see is wrong.
What it prevents
The all-or-nothing approval, where the only way to correct one step is to reject the whole plan and re-describe the task.
