Elite 6-phase engineering production engine. Orchestrates specialized subagents (Think, Plan, Build, Review, Test, Ship) to deliver production-grade software with Garry Tan's "Boil the Lake" philosophy. Triggers on requests for feature engineering, project initialization, or full-lifecycle management. Uses structured gates for CEO/Staff/QA-level auditing.

🚀 Execution Modes
Full Sprint: "Engineer [feature]" — Runs the complete lifecycle.
Partial Sprint: "Skip Think, start from Plan" — Resumes from artifacts.
Single Unit: /think, /plan, /review, /ship.
💎 Engineering Guardrails
Contract-First: Zero implementation until the topology and state-machines in PLAN.md are locked.
Adversarial Audit: Every change must survive a "Codex-style" multi-model adversarial challenge.
Boil the Lake: Pursue 100% robustness. Handle every edge case. Machines don't tire; don't settle for "good enough."
