Explore requirements and approaches through collaborative dialogue before writing a right-sized requirements document and planning implementation. Use for feature ideas, problem framing, when the user says 'let's brainstorm', or when they want to think through options before deciding what to build.

Document a solved problem as reusable institutional knowledge with parallel research. Use when the user says 'document this', 'compound', 'save learnings', or wants to capture a solution for future reference.

Scaffold a new custom agent — reviewers, researchers, or workflow agents. Use when asked to create, scaffold, or add a new agent.

Enhance an existing plan with parallel research agents for depth, best practices, and implementation details. Use when the user says 'deepen the plan', 'research more', or when a plan has high-risk dimensions that need more investigation.

Review requirements or plan documents using parallel persona agents that surface role-specific issues. Use when a requirements document or plan document exists and the user wants to improve it, or when invoked by /cplan for quality gating.

Commit, push, and open a PR with an adaptive, value-first description. Use when the user says "commit and PR", "push and open a PR", "ship this", "create a PR", "open a pull request", or wants to go from working changes to an open pull request in one step. Also handles "update the PR description" or "refresh the PR description".

Create a git commit with a clear, value-communicating message. Use when the user says "commit", "commit this", "save my changes", "create a commit", or wants to commit staged or unstaged work. Produces well-structured commit messages that follow repo conventions when they exist, and defaults to conventional commit format otherwise.

Manage Git worktrees for isolated parallel development. Use when the user wants to work on multiple features in parallel, review code in isolation, or needs a clean workspace. Handles creating, listing, switching, and cleaning up worktrees.

Autonomous end-to-end pipeline — takes a problem description, plans, implements, tests, reviews, and ships with minimal user interaction. Use when the user says 'lfg', 'just do it', 'ship it end to end', or wants the full pipeline run autonomously.

Research the codebase and create a structured implementation plan. Use when the user says 'plan this', 'create a plan', 'how should we implement', or wants to turn a feature description into a structured implementation plan.

Review changed code for reuse, quality, and efficiency — fix issues before review. Use when the user says 'simplify', 'clean up', 'review the code', or wants to improve code quality before formal review.

Write tests for a planned or implemented change. Use when the user says 'write tests', 'test this', 'TDD', or wants to create tests for a feature.

Execute an implementation plan step by step with commits. Use when the user says 'implement this', 'build this', 'start working', 'execute the plan', or wants to turn a plan into working code.
