Deep planning via Oracle CLI (GPT-5.2 Codex). Use for complex tasks requiring extended thinking (10-60 minutes). Outputs plan.md for planner to transform into specs.

Manages weaver execution via tmux. Reads specs, selects skills, launches weavers in parallel, tracks progress. Runs in background.

Interactive planning agent. Designs verification specs through Q&A with the human. Uses Oracle for complex planning. Hands off to orchestrator for execution.

Verification subagent. Runs checks from verification_spec in order. Fast-fails on first error. Reports PASS or FAIL with evidence. Does NOT modify code.

Base skill for all weavers. Implements specs, spawns verifiers, loops until pass, creates PR. Tests are never committed.

Use when encountering dependency conflicts, CocoaPods/SPM resolution failures, "Multiple commands produce" errors, or framework version mismatches - systematic dependency and build configuration debugging for iOS projects. Includes pressure scenario guidance for resisting quick fixes under time constraints

Use when adding/modifying database columns, encountering "FOREIGN KEY constraint failed", "no such column", "cannot add NOT NULL column" errors, or creating schema migrations for SQLite/GRDB/SQLiteData - prevents data loss with safe migration patterns and testing workflows for iOS/macOS apps

Use when writing raw SQL queries with GRDB, complex joins, ValueObservation for reactive queries, DatabaseMigrator patterns, query profiling under performance pressure, or dropping down from SQLiteData for performance - direct SQLite access for iOS/macOS

Use when you see memory warnings, 'retain cycle', app crashes from memory pressure, or when asking 'why is my app using so much memory', 'how do I find memory leaks', 'my deinit is never called', 'Instruments shows memory growth', 'app crashes after 10 minutes' - systematic memory leak detection and fixes for iOS/macOS

Use when implementing Network.framework connections, debugging connection failures, migrating from sockets/URLSession streams, or adopting structured concurrency networking patterns - prevents deprecated API usage, reachability anti-patterns, and thread-safety violations with iOS 12-26+ APIs

Use when you see 'actor-isolated', 'Sendable', 'data race', '@MainActor' errors, or when asking 'why is this not thread safe', 'how do I use async/await', 'what is @MainActor for', 'my app is crashing with concurrency errors', 'how do I fix data races' - Swift 6 strict concurrency patterns with actor isolation and async/await

Use when optimizing Swift code performance, reducing memory usage, improving runtime efficiency, dealing with COW, ARC overhead, generics specialization, or collection optimization

Use when writing unit tests, adopting Swift Testing framework, making tests run faster without simulator, architecting code for testability, testing async code reliably, or migrating from XCTest - covers @Test/@Suite macros,

Use when working with SwiftData - @Model definitions, @Query in SwiftUI, @Relationship macros, ModelContext patterns, CloudKit integration, iOS 26+ features, and Swift 6 concurrency with @MainActor — Apple's native persistence framework

Use when separating logic from SwiftUI views, choosing architecture patterns, refactoring view files, or asking 'where should this code go', 'how do I organize my SwiftUI app', 'MVVM vs TCA vs vanilla SwiftUI', 'how do I make SwiftUI testable' - comprehensive architecture patterns with refactoring workflows for iOS 26+

Use when debugging SwiftUI view updates, preview crashes, or layout issues - diagnostic decision trees to identify root causes quickly and avoid misdiagnosis under pressure

Use when UI is slow, scrolling lags, animations stutter, or when asking 'why is my SwiftUI view slow', 'how do I optimize List performance', 'my app drops frames', 'view body is called too often', 'List is laggy' - SwiftUI performance optimization with Instruments 26 and WWDC 2025 patterns

Use when writing UI tests, recording interactions, tests have race conditions, timing dependencies, inconsistent pass/fail behavior, or XCTest UI tests are flaky - covers Recording UI Automation (WWDC 2025), condition-based waiting, network conditioning, multi-factor testing, crash debugging, and accessibility-first testing patterns

Use when encountering BUILD FAILED, test crashes, simulator hangs, stale builds, zombie xcodebuild processes, "Unable to boot simulator", "No such module" after SPM changes, or mysterious test failures despite no code changes - systematic environment-first diagnostics for iOS/macOS projects
