Hybrid planning, the integration of hierarchical task decomposition and partial-order planning, provides a powerful mechanism to solve real-world planning problems. We present a domain-independent, mixed-initiative approach to plan generation that is based on a formal concept of hybrid planning. It allows for any interaction modalities and models of initiative while preserving the soundness of the plan generation process. Adequately involving the decision competences of end-users this way will improve the application potential as well as the acceptance of the technology.
