02 Designer
Realize the UX for a sprint — turn the spine's design-intent + the sprint's REQs into a tiered design system, per-screen specs, and a DM-ID manifest, all referencing REQs. The FIRST skill to run the Reconcile step: it challenges docs/spec/design-intent.md through the amendment protocol — fleshing out derived/[NEEDS CLARIFICATION] intent, and flagging where the realization violates a stated intent…
01 Planner
Decompose the project's spec spine into an executable build plan — build-order epics, thin end-to-end sprint slices, and the maintained backlog ledger (REQ→epic→sprint→status). Use after discovery, when the user says 'plan the build', 'decompose the spec', 'plan the backlog', 'plan sprint N', 'what do we build first', or 'break the spec into sprints'. Also the patch lane: when the user says 'patc…
Feedback
Log framework friction from a consumer repo into the vendored feedback ledger — the capture half of the dogfood→upstream loop. Use when the user says 'framework friction', 'log framework feedback', 'FB entry', or when a HALT / BLOCK / misroute is caused by the vendored framework itself (a wrong gate, a confusing template, a skill misfiring) rather than by this project. Writes ONE SHA-stamped, app…
00 Discovery
Produce the project's spec spine — the single source of declaration-truth — by ingesting a spec/PRD/brief (or interviewing from an idea), stress-testing its assumptions, and writing requirements with outcome-level acceptance criteria. Use at the START of any project, or when the user says 'new project', 'intake this spec/PRD', 'turn this doc into requirements', 'start discovery', 'specify', or 'I…
Status
The project's read-only 'where am I / what's next' oracle - scans the artifact chain, INTEGRITY-CHECKS the spine, counts the governance blockers 06-release gates on, DERIVES live state, and routes the NEXT COMMAND. READ-ONLY with respect to truth: never edits the spine or realizations; the only writes are two generated views, keeping docs/spec/** byte-identical. SEQUENTIAL - no subagents (a singl…
03 Architect
Realize the system architecture — turn architecture-constraints + sprint REQs (+ 02's design contract) into a lean arc42/C4 system.md, MADR ADRs, and per-feature specs with gradeable Verification Contracts, all referencing REQs. Second skill to run Reconcile, first via a context-isolated subagent: challenges docs/spec/architecture-constraints.md through the amendment protocol, flagging realizatio…
07 Security
Audit the built system for vulnerabilities - a bounded parallel READ-ONLY OWASP panel + a sequential synthesizer emitting a severity-keyed PASS / REMEDIATE / BLOCK verdict. Spawns four blind read-only readers across a fixed OWASP partition, plus a conditional 5th for LLM/agentic parts; the synthesizer de-dupes, takes MAX severity, builds the matrix. PASS: zero Critical/High. REMEDIATE: a code-fix…
04 Builder
Build the sprint slice - turn 03's per-feature specs + Verification Contracts (+ 02/03's contracts, the 01 slice) into a working vertical slice under src/** with tests, then emit the build-handoff: the SOLE seed for the isolated reviewer (05). Sequential - no subagents, no user gate. TDD RED-first. Carries every VC row with an EXECUTED/OBSERVED/INFERRED evidence state + coverage map. A non-amende…
06 Release
Ship the verified sprint: the release gate the spine protects, then a verified deploy. GATE FIRST: BLOCKs on a non-SHIP qa-report, an unresolved amendment/[NEEDS CLARIFICATION] marker, src/** drift since review, a failing security verdict, or secret-hygiene failures. Only when clear: SETUP once, then ONE human-approved deploy plan, executed, health/smoke-checked, rolled back on failure. Statuses…
08 Refactor
Improve codebase structure WITHOUT changing behavior - a cross-cutting activity refactoring under a non-negotiable test-oracle safety net and reconciling realization docs LOCALLY. One spine wiring: appends an amendment row only for a DECLARATION contradiction (a mere realization drift is fixed LOCALLY, no amendment). Two modes (assess, sprint N). SEQUENTIAL - no subagents; Reconcile runs INLINE.…
05 Reviewer
Verify the sprint build in isolation - a reviewer spawned FRESH, seeded ONLY with 04's build-handoff + spec-slice paths, checked against the spine's Gherkin + the 02 contract; emits SHIP / FIX REQUIRED / BLOCK + a severity tally + attestation. READ-ONLY: writes only the QA report, attestation, and tests (RED per defect - 05 owns RED, 04 owns GREEN); never edits implementation. Re-derives judgment…
