Execute an approved implementation plan exactly and safely. Use for ExecPlan-style plan execution, resumable phase checklists, multi-hour implementation work, migrations, significant refactors, and plans that require verification checkpoints, status tracking, and final reporting.
Collaborative discovery and design framing for ambiguous or high-risk work. Use when requirements are unclear, multiple approaches are possible, or you need to turn an idea into a validated design brief before planning or coding.
Create detailed, execution-ready implementation plans for complex or high-risk changes without coding. Use for ExecPlan-style work, multi-hour changes, significant refactors, migrations, resumable phase checklists, and work that should be handed off to execute-plan with clear validation.
Create source-adjacent HTML visualizations for /visualize requests, docs, markdown, standardized plans, process flows, charts, Mermaid diagrams, context maps, and recommendation diagrams.
Structured clarification and requirements gathering through focused dialogue or with dry code. Use when a task is ambiguous, underspecified, or requires user input before any action can be taken. Do not plan or implement anything—only ask questions to collect the information needed.
Create or refresh project documentation in `docs/`. Use when a project needs docs initialized or existing docs synced to the current codebase.
Diagnose and fix bugs with root-cause analysis and verification. Use when you have a concrete issue report, failing behavior, runtime error, or test regression that should be resolved safely. Stop and escalate to brainstorm when scope or risk grows.
Rapid implementation for small, low-risk, well-defined changes. Use when the task is narrow in scope, has clear acceptance criteria, and can be completed safely without a formal multi-phase plan.
