What this prompt is
| id | compose-cycle-plan | the key every tier, every pattern step and every override spells it by |
| kind | not a stage instruction | whether any bundled pattern hands it to an agent step |
| role | — | the harness role the agent reading it runs under |
| stage | — | the stage of a run it is handed at |
| bundled at | config/agent-prompts/compose-cycle-plan.md | where the built-in copy sits in Gantry's own tree |
No bundled pattern hands this file to an agent step. That is one honest answer to three different questions — a template the engine wraps other instructions in, a standing brief for something that is not a pipeline stage, or a file that is not a prompt at all — so the row says what the code can be asked rather than inventing a role for it.

run
consulted 1st |
.gantry/<plan>/prompts/compose-cycle-plan.md |

project
consulted 2nd |
.gantry/<plan>/compose-cycle-plan.md |
a per-run override an operator drops beside the run's other orchestration files |

the materialized global mirror; it overrides the built-in once its bytes differ from the built-in's |
