Cut a v0.X.Y release of the deft framework safely. Use when the user says "release", "cut release", "v0.X.Y", or "publish release" -- to walk an 8-phase workflow that pre-flights, runs an end-to-end rehearsal against a temp repo, lands a draft GitHub release (npm ships irrevocably at tag push), optionally QA's draft assets, then publishes the GitHub release or rolls back. Re-uses the deft-directive-swarm Phase 6 Step 5 Slack announcement template.
Build a project from scope xBRIEFs following Deft Directive framework standards. Use after deft-directive-setup has generated the project definition, or when the user has story xBRIEFs in xbrief/active/ ready to implement. Handles scaffolding, implementation, testing, and quality checks phase by phase.
Conversational refinement session. Ingests external work items into xBRIEF proposed/ scope, deduplicates via origin references, evaluates proposals with the user, reconciles stale origins, and promotes/demotes scopes through the lifecycle using deterministic task commands.
Triage-cache hygiene and "what's next?" work selection (ordered plan or ranked queue) -- the agent-facing playbook for syncing the triage cache, classifying candidates, presenting a ranked queue or binding to an active plan-sequence, walking per-item decisions (accept / reject / defer / needs-ac / mark-duplicate), and auditing the session. Use when the operator asks what to work on next, wants to build a cohort, work the cache, or run a triage hygiene pass.
Parallel local agent orchestration. Use when running multiple agents on story-level xBRIEFs simultaneously — to scan active/ for allocatable work, set up isolated worktrees, launch agents with proven prompts, monitor progress, handle stalled review cycles, and close out PRs cleanly.
Greptile / bot reviewer response and PR-shepherding workflow. Use when running a review cycle or babysitting a PR to merge-ready -- audit process prerequisites, fetch bot findings, fix all issues in a single batch commit, and exit cleanly when no P0 or P1 issues remain. Supersedes Cursor global babysit on Deft-managed repos (#2261).
Set up a new project with Deft Directive framework standards. Use when the user wants to bootstrap user preferences, configure a project, or generate a project specification. Walks through setup conversationally — no separate CLI needed.
Iterative pre-PR quality improvement loop. Use before pushing a branch for PR creation -- after completing implementation but before task check. Cycles through Read-Write-Lint-Diff until a full pass produces zero changes.
