Recommendations for Approval

Immediate Actions Required

1. RESTART PLANNING PHASE (CRITICAL)

   • Re-run planning swarm with task execution
   • Assign specific deliverable tasks to workers
   • Validate outputs are created

2. PRODUCE ALL PLANNING DOCUMENTS (CRITICAL)

   • Chess rules specification
   • System architecture
   • Data models
   • Implementation guide
   • Code templates
   • Test specifications

3. MEET QUALITY STANDARDS (REQUIRED)

   • Ensure completeness ≥80%
   • Verify consistency ≥90%
   • Achieve quality score ≥80%
   • Validate chess rules 100% accurate

4. ENABLE IMPLEMENTATION (REQUIRED)

   • Provide clear implementation roadmap
   • Include code examples
   • Specify file structure
   • Define setup process

---

Timeline to Approval

Estimated Timeline

Phase 1: Planning Execution (6-12 hours)

• Workers produce all documentation
• Peer review and refinement
• Output validation

Phase 2: Re-Review (2-4 hours)

• Reviewer assesses all deliverables
• Completeness check
• Consistency validation
• Quality assessment

Phase 3: Revisions (if needed) (2-6 hours)

• Address review feedback
• Fix inconsistencies
• Improve quality

Phase 4: Final Approval (1 hour)

• Final sign-off
• Handoff to implementation swarm

Total: 11-23 hours from restart to approval

---

Conditional Approval Possibility

NOT APPLICABLE

Conditional approval cannot be granted because:

• ❌ No partial deliverables exist
• ❌ No work-in-progress to evaluate
• ❌ No foundation to build upon
• ❌ Complete restart required

Minimum for conditional approval: At least 50% of documents at ≥60% quality Actual: 0% of documents exist
