Introducing the Planning Critic for Auto-Approved Plans
January 26, 2026

We’ve introduced a secondary agent—the Planning Critic—to review all plans that do not require human intervention. Before Jules executes a single line of code, this agent rigorously critiques and refines the proposed plan. While this adds a small amount of time to the planning phase, the result is a 9.5% reduction in task failure rates and significantly higher quality execution paths.
