+
+<objective>
+Allow users to toggle workflow agents on/off via interactive settings.
+
+Updates `.planning/config.json` with workflow preferences that control whether research, plan checking, and verification agents are spawned.
+</objective>

+
+## 1. Validate Environment
+
+```bash
+ls .planning/config.json 2>/dev/null

+
+## 2. Read Current Config
+
+```bash
+cat .planning/config.json
+```
+
+Parse current values (default to `true` if not present):
+- `workflow.research` — spawn researcher during plan-phase
+- `workflow.plan_check` — spawn plan checker during plan-phase
+- `workflow.verifier` — spawn verifier during execute-phase

+

+    "plan_check": true/false,
