Prewalk — revise the plan on the frontier model instead of handing off. Stay on the current (planner) model, fold in the requested changes, re-verify task #1 if it changed, then re-add the ⏸️ PAUSE checkpoint.

/pw-revise `<changes>` — revise the plan on the frontier
Run this to fetch the revision instructions for the current checkpoint:
python3 "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/hooks/_pw.py" revise "$CLAUDE_SESSION_ID" "$ARGUMENTS"Then follow its output:
- **Re-explore only what the revision affects** — do not redo the whole
exploration.
- **Update the todo list** to reflect the requested changes (each item still
needs a concrete file path + a verification word).
- **Re-verify task #1** only if the revision changed it.
- **Re-add the `PAUSE` checkpoint todo** (content starting with `PAUSE`, marked
in_progress) and **STOP** again with an updated structured Handoff Packet.
You stay on the frontier (planner) model. When the revised plan is ready, the user runs `/pw-go` to hand off. If the script says there is no active checkpoint, reply with a single line saying so and end your turn.
Prewalk lets a strong planner do the expensive repository work, then gives a configured executor a verified starting point and a self-contained handoff: Use it for changes where understanding the repository is a meaningful part of the work.
