Phase 5: Dogfood + Measure
Goal: Decompose real plans. Measure token savings vs baselines. Prove it works.
Status: COMPLETE — 2026-03-02
Done:
- Decomposed Note Decomposition plan into 5 child phase notes
- Decomposed pal-e-sprints plan into 3 child phase notes
- Decomposed Knowledge System Consolidation plan into 6 child phase notes
- Decomposed Platform Observability plan into 5 child phase notes
- All 4 active plans now decomposed (19 total child phases created)
- All parent plans slimmed to ~2KB summaries pointing to child phases
- Proved queries work: list_notes(note_type="phase", status="in-progress") = 1KB/1 call (was 193KB/12 calls)
- Proved phase update works: update_note(slug, status) = 0.5KB/1 call (was 39KB/2 calls)
Measured Results:
| Story | Before | After | Savings |
|---|---|---|---|
| Update phase status | 39KB, 2 calls | 0.5KB, 1 call | 98.7% |
| Query in-progress phases | 193KB, 12 calls | 1KB, 1 call | 99.5% |
| Read plan summary | 15KB | 2KB | 86.7% |
Remaining: PR #63 deploy + browser verification (tracked separately — not blocking plan completion).
