Cross-project build pipeline. Invoked as $wave-build <feature> or $wave-build with Pipeline/Task manifest/Wave args. Runs the full pipeline end to end including all git work.

Wave task runner. Reads a wave.md file and runs each pipeline sequentially. Invoked as `$wave <path/to/wave.md>`. Argument is the path to the wave manifest file.

Attributes Claude Code runtime token spend per sub-agent and per workflow run, parsed from local JSONL transcripts, and ranks the heaviest burners with estimated USD cost. Answers 'which agent burned the most tokens', 'what did this workflow/wave/pipeline cost', 'token breakdown', 'per-operation tokens', and any retrospective spend analysis. Triggered by 'token ledger', 'token attribution', 'heaviest token burner', 'which agent burned the most tokens', 'what did the run/workflow/wave cost', 'token breakdown', 'per-agent tokens', 'per-operation tokens'. Complements /pcm:context-meter: that audits STATIC context size, this covers RUNTIME spend attribution — route static-budget questions to context-meter, after-the-fact spend questions here.

Code hygiene audit — ghost fields, dead code, deps, arch, types, naming, quality. Domain-hydrated at install time.

Security deep scan — injection, auth, API, LLM/prompt, sensitive data, crypto, transport, supply-chain. Domain-hydrated at install time.

Exhaustive multi-angle analysis. Invoked by `360`, `three-sixty`, `do a 360`, "what could go wrong", or explicit blind-spot sweep requests.

RND goal-driven iteration. Invoked by `RND`, `research and develop`, `iterate until`, or "find the best approach for" a testable outcome.

Use BEFORE writing or restructuring any permanent reference doc under docs/ (architecture, api, map, features, child-project docs). Defines how to shape reference docs for LLM Read/grep consumption — the cluster model, the topic-file size target, navigation indexes, the table-vs-sections record-format rule, grep-true naming, current-state-only content, and the no-byline rule. Mandatory load for /documenter.

Use BEFORE editing any prompt file — CLAUDE.md, agents, commands, skills, or /km knowledge files. Enforces Anthropic's prompt-quality rules (cut test, line thresholds, positive framing, one canonical term, frontmatter discipline). Mandatory load for /pcm and /km.

Wave task refinement — critically evaluates a task list through R1-R4 protocol, produces wave.md.

Post-wave operational review — reads wave report, evaluates grouping, QA health, parallelism, token efficiency.

Forge, validate, and stress-test a startup vision using Paul Graham's filters. Three modes — CREATE (Socratic grilling → vision narrative), RESEARCH (extract claims → execute research → validation report), STRESS-TEST (10-filter PG rubric → hardened vision). Load on "vision", "create/build/write a vision", "validate/stress-test/pressure-test a vision", "one-pager", "north star", "founding narrative".

Documentation source of truth. Invoked as $documenter [subcommand]. Subcommands — audit. Handles ARCHIVE and JC-UPDATE phases. Owns docs/agents/ and child project docs.

External-facing writing and voice-polish protocol. Used when command manuals require ghostwriter before finalizing external deliverables.

Gitter gateway — routes git requests to gitter protocol. Invoked as `$git push [message]`, `$git pull`, or `$git <freeform request>`. Executes gitter.md protocol inline via bash.

Visibility & growth strategist. Invoked as `$marketer <topic>`. SEO, marketing copy, content strategy, competitive messaging, channel strategy. Can write wave.md for marketing tasks.

Startup & business consultant. Invoked as `$mentor <question>`. Company formation, tax strategy, funding, GTM, {MARKET_SEGMENT} system.

Compliance. Invoked as `$officer <question or audit request>`. Answers regulatory questions, audits codebase/architecture for privacy violations. Advisory only.

Product Manager. Invoked as $pm <request>. Feature reviews, UX friction analysis, prioritization, PRD updates. Dual lens — {USER_PERSONA} AND experienced PM.

Research-and-Report protocol for Codex. Invoked by `RR`, `RRP`, `research and report`, broad competitor/market/persona/regulatory research, or explicit research fan-out requests.

Dev environment management. Invoked as $dev [subcommand]. Subcommands — start (default), kill, restart, status, log, snapshot. Manages local dev stack.

Live debug, diagnose & fix on main. The ONE command allowed to edit code directly on main. Invoked as `$jc <bug description or service>`. Targeted hotfixes only.

Knowledge-Manager. Researches, writes, and maintains domain knowledge under {KNOWLEDGE_ROOT}. Invoked as `$km <topic or update request>`.

Professor Change Manager — Dr. House persona. Pipeline meta-engineering, change protocols, consistency audits. Invoked as $pcm <request>.
