Overview

The Long-Horizon Planning Agent manages complex, multi-step tasks that exceed the context window of standard LLMs. It uses an Org-mode Dynamic Task Tree to track progress, summarize completed sub-tasks, and prune irrelevant execution branches.

Phase A: Demand (PRD)

1. Purpose

Enable the agent to maintain focus and coherence over tasks spanning 100+ steps (SWE-bench parity).

2. User Needs

• Hierarchical Planning: Break large goals into a nested tree of Org headlines.
• Context Compression: Automatically summarize the results of child sub-trees into their parent nodes.
• Branch Pruning: Meta-cognitive review to stop execution of failed or redundant paths.
• Self-Correction: Adjust the plan dynamically based on environmental feedback.

3. Success Criteria
