Lose the Order, Keep the Hierarchy: Deordering HTN Plans

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 3, 2026 · UTC

Hierarchical Task Network (HTN) planning is a powerful planning formalism based on task decomposition. Although most of the literature studied plan generation, comparatively less attention has been paid to post-plan optimization. In particular, plan deordering has been extensively studied in classical planning but remains under-researched in the HTN setting. Plan deordering removes unnecessary ordering constraints between actions in a plan whilst keeping the plan valid. In this paper, we adapt two established plan deordering techniques from classical planning by extending the techniques to acc
