C# SDLC Workflow
Artifact Location
All artifacts are stored in .memory_bank/features/<feature-name>/ with this structure:
<feature-name>/

Workflow Sequence
Phase 1: Spec Writing
- Agent:
spec-writer
- Input: User's feature request/description
- Output:
.memory_bank/features/<feature-name>/spec.md
- Next: Due Diligence
Phase 2: Due Diligence
- Agent:
due-diligence
- Input:
spec.md + codebase analysis
- Output: Updated
spec.md + findings.md
- Next: Planning
Phase 3: Planning
- Agent:
planner
- Input:
spec.md + findings.md
- Output:
plan.md + phases/phase-N-<name>.md for each phase
- Next: Phase Implementation Loop
Phase 4-7: Per-Phase Implementation Loop
For each phase defined in the plan, execute this loop:
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ PHASE LOOP (per phase) │
│ │
│ 4a. Implementer │
│ ↓ │
│ 4b. SQA (write & run tests) │
│ ├─ PASS → continue │
│ └─ FAIL → return to 4a (test fixes) │
│ ↓ │
│ 4c. Code Reviewer │
│ ├─ APPROVED → continue │
│ └─ CHANGES NEEDED → return to 4a (fixes) │
│ ↓ │
│ 4d. Spec & Phase Reviewer │
│ ├─ COMPLETE → next phase │
│ └─ INCOMPLETE → return to 4a (gaps) │
│ │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────┘
4a. Implementation
- Agent:
implementer
- Input: Phase document + (optional: test fixes / code review fixes / gap fixes)
- Output: Implemented code, updated phase checklist
- Context: Can receive fix requests from SQA, Code Reviewer, or Phase Reviewer
4b. SQA
- Agent:
sqa
- Input:
spec.md + phase document + implemented code
- Output: Tests written,
test-results/phase-N-test-results.md
- Loop condition: If tests fail → return to Implementer with test failure details
- Next on pass: Code Review
4c. Code Review
- Agent:
code-reviewer
- Input: Phase document + implemented code + test results
- Output:
code-reviews/phase-N-review-M.md (M increments per review round)
- Loop condition: If changes needed → return to Implementer with review findings. All findings must be addressed before next review iteration.
- Next on approval: Spec & Phase Review
4d. Spec & Phase Review
- Agent:
spec-phase-reviewer
- Input:
spec.md + phase document + code + test results + code review
- Output:
phase-reviews/phase-N-completion.md
- Loop condition: If gaps found → return to Implementer with gap details. All gaps must be addressed before next review iteration.
- Next on complete: Next phase (or Final Review if last phase)
Phase 8: Final Spec Review
- Agent:
final-spec-reviewer
- Input:
spec.md + all phase documents + all artifacts
- Output:
final-review.md
- Result: Feature complete or list of remaining gaps
Orchestrator Decision Rules
- Never skip phases — every phase must complete before moving to the next
- Track loop iterations — if any inner loop exceeds 10 iterations, surface to user for guidance
- Phase checklist must be 100% before phase review
- Always pass context — each sub-agent invocation must include relevant prior artifacts
- Feature folder must exist before any agent writes to it
- Read artifacts between steps — after each sub-agent completes, read its output files before invoking the next sub-agent
