+# Phase 16 Plan 03: Planner Revision Mode Summary
+
+**Revision mode added to gsd-planner for handling checker feedback with 6-step targeted update process**
+
+## Performance
+
+- **Duration:** 3 min
+- **Started:** 2026-01-16
+- **Completed:** 2026-01-16
+- **Tasks:** 3
+- **Files modified:** 1
+
+## Accomplishments
+- Added revision_mode section (~105 lines) with 6-step revision process
+- Updated role section to document revision mode spawning and responsibility
+- Added REVISION COMPLETE return format to structured_returns section
+- Planner can now be spawned in standard, gap_closure, or revision mode
+
+## Task Commits
+
+Each task was committed atomically:
+
+1. **Task 1: Add revision_mode section** - `6b31a92` (feat)
+2. **Task 2: Update role section** - `8420752` (docs)
+3. **Task 3: Add REVISION COMPLETE format** - `ace3b36` (docs)
+
+## Files Created/Modified
+- `agents/gsd-planner.md` - Added revision_mode section, updated role, added return format (now 1,284 lines)
+
+## Decisions Made
+- 6-step process: Load plans, parse issues, determine strategy, make updates, validate, return summary
+- Strategy table maps each of the 6 verification dimensions to specific revision actions
+- Surgeon mindset emphasized: minimal changes to address specific issues, preserve working parts
+
+## Deviations from Plan
+
+None - plan executed exactly as written.
+
+## Issues Encountered
+
+None
+
+## User Setup Required
+
+None - no external service configuration required.
+
+## Next Phase Readiness
+- gsd-planner has complete revision mode documentation
+- Revision strategy table covers all 6 issue dimensions from gsd-plan-checker
+- Return format matches what orchestrator expects
+- Ready for plan-phase orchestrator integration (16-02)
