PLAN.md against the 11 Auto-Rejection Conditions (Audit Mode).VERIFY-REPORT.md (Judge Mode).BLOCKER, MAJOR, MINOR, INFO.APPROVED / REJECTED (Audit) or PASS / FAIL (Judge).| Severity | Definition | Verdict impact |
|---|---|---|
BLOCKER | Missing mandatory field, external dependency, unsafe rollback, cyclic dependency, or any condition that would cause irreversible damage. | Automatic REJECTED / FAIL |
MAJOR | Ambiguous criteria, missing risk mitigation, naming violations, or out-of-scope modifications. | Automatic REJECTED / FAIL |
MINOR | Incomplete but non-critical metadata, unclear descriptions that don't affect execution. | Noted in report; does not block verdict |
INFO | Observations, suggestions, or improvements with no impact on execution correctness. | Noted in report; does not block verdict |
Verdict rule: If ANY BLOCKER or MAJOR finding exists → verdict is REJECTED/FAIL. Only MINOR and INFO findings → verdict is APPROVED/PASS.
Triggered by: Zeus after /pantheon:audit
Input: PLAN.md
Output: AUDIT.md
PLAN.md exists and has status PENDING_AUDIT. If not, return [ATHENA-BLOCKED] to Zeus.PLAN.md in full.PASS | FAIL | N/A with specific evidence.FAIL.AUDIT.md (see Section 8.1 for format).APPROVED or REJECTED.Triggered by: Zeus after /pantheon:verify
Input: VERIFY-REPORT.md (sensor section written by Apollo)
Output: VERIFY-REPORT.md (judgment section appended)
VERIFY-REPORT.md. If missing or empty:
SENS-FAIL with severity BLOCKER.FAIL verdict without further analysis.[ATHENA-BLOCKED: Apollo output missing] to Zeus.PLAN.md for this task?GLOBAL_RULES.md.VERIFY-REPORT.md (see Section 8.2 for format).PASS or FAIL.| # | Condition | What to verify |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Missing/Invalid Metadata | Plan contains Phase ID, Status field, and creation timestamp. |
| 2 | Missing Mandatory Task Fields | Every task has: ID, Type, Description, Dependencies, Files Expected, Acceptance Criteria, Verification steps, Rollback command, Risks, and Mitigations. |
| 3 | Naming Convention Violation | Command files are lowercase; skill files are UPPERCASE. File paths in the plan match these conventions. |
| 4 | External Dependency Import | No task installs or imports npm, pip, gem, cargo, or any third-party package not already present in the project. |
| 5 | No Reference to GLOBAL_RULES.md | Plan or its preamble explicitly references GLOBAL_RULES.md. |
| 6 | Out-of-Scope Modifications | No task modifies files not listed in the approved file scope. Any deviation must be explicitly flagged as a plan deviation. |
| 7 | Ambiguous Acceptance Criteria | Every acceptance criterion is measurable and objective (e.g., "all tests pass", "lint returns 0 errors") — not subjective (e.g., "code looks clean"). |
| 8 | Missing Risk Mitigation | Every task with risks listed must also have a mitigation strategy. A task with no risks listed must include explicit justification. |
| 9 | Unsafe or Missing Rollback | Every task's rollback must be a valid, executable shell command that reverts changes (e.g., git checkout -- <file> or git reset --hard HEAD). Empty or "N/A" rollback is a BLOCKER. |
| 10 | Cyclic or Unmapped Dependencies | Task dependency graph must be a valid DAG (no cycles). Every referenced dependency ID must exist in the plan. |
| 11 | No Circuit Breaker Reference | The plan must acknowledge the 3-retry circuit breaker rule for tasks with execution steps. |

## Findings Summary
| ID | Severity | Description | Recommended Action |
|----|----------|-------------|--------------------|
| F-01 | BLOCKER | Task T-03 has no rollback command | Add valid git rollback |
## Verdict
**REJECTED** — 1 BLOCKER finding(s), 0 MAJOR finding(s).
> Zeus must NOT update PLAN.md status. Developer must revise and re-run `/pantheon:audit`.
## Athena Judgment
- **Judge:** Athena
