The title-plan prompt

The whole text of config/agent-prompts/title-plan.md, as an agent is handed it.

Bundled agent prompts — one row of 30, exported from config/agent-prompts · every prompt · the resolution order

What this prompt is

id title-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/title-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.

Where an override of it goes

tier the file to write what it is
run
consulted 1st
.gantry/<plan>/prompts/title-plan.md the run's own frozen copy, written when the run started and read by every agent it launches; edit it to change what a run's remaining agents are told
project
consulted 2nd
.gantry/<plan>/title-plan.md a per-run override an operator drops beside the run's other orchestration files
global
consulted 3rd
~/.config/gantry/agent-prompts/title-plan.md the materialized global mirror; it overrides the built-in once its bytes differ from the built-in's
built-in
consulted 4th
config/agent-prompts/title-plan.md the default compiled into the binary

The text

config/agent-prompts/title-plan.md
You are titling the planner's status card for a build dashboard, shown the moment a run starts.

Below is the raw plan material gantry is about to decompose. A plain build starts with milestone
planning, and small plans may collapse to one pass. From it, write two things:

1. A **headline** — 2–5 words, Title Case, no trailing punctuation — naming what this run sets out to build.
2. A **one-line blurb** — a single short plain sentence in proper sentence case (aim for ~70 characters, never more than 120) saying what the plan is about, at a glance. Start with a capital letter; do not return all-lowercase prose. No lists, no markdown, no line breaks.

Plan material:
{{PLAN}}

Output EXACTLY this and nothing else — no preamble, no code fence:

# <headline>

<blurb>
