Drive a goal to a merge-ready endpoint by orchestrating the offload architect loop: run contextual plan reviews, dispatch a configured builder harness slice-by-slice, wait for each slice via a backgrounded bridge (no Claude-side polling), judge raw gates plus an independent `review` pass per slice, and run a final integration `review`. STOPS at the edge of merge by default and hands to the human — only merges when the goal text explicitly authorizes it. You stay the ARCHITECT and never write implementation code. Use when the user says "complete", "drive this to done", "take this to merge-ready", "run the whole loop", or invokes /complete.
Make this Claude session the ARCHITECT and offload implementation to a configured builder harness (codex, claude, opencode, pi, grok, or a custom command) you can watch. Reads the session handoff, arbitrates the builder's disagreements, judges raw gate results against frozen criteria plus an independent `review` pass on each slice, specs the next one-PR slice, and emits + dispatches a builder block. The architect never writes implementation code. Use when the user says "offload", "hand this to codex", "hand this to a builder", "architect mode", "have codex build this", or invokes /offload.
Compact the current conversation into a handoff document for another agent to pick up.
Systematic debugging with root cause investigation. Phases: context detection, investigate, analyze, hypothesize, implement, verify. Iron Law: no fixes without root cause. Supports quick-pass for obvious bugs and full investigation for mysteries. Evidence log tracks what's been checked and ruled out. Use when asked to "debug this", "fix this bug", "why is this broken", "investigate this error", or "root cause analysis". Proactively suggest when the user reports errors, unexpected behavior, or is troubleshooting why something stopped working.
Deep plan review with four modes: SCOPE EXPANSION (dream big), SELECTIVE EXPANSION (hold scope + cherry-pick expansions), HOLD SCOPE (maximum rigor), SCOPE REDUCTION (strip to essentials). Supports Standard (per-section) and Batched (grouped) pacing. Detects review context (git/PR, plan document, or hybrid). Challenges premises, maps failure modes and concurrency risks, reviews architecture/security/performance/cost/deployment, evaluates API contracts, and produces structured outputs with error registries, diagrams, and a go/no-go readiness verdict.
Designer's eye plan review — interactive, like the deep and eng reviews. Rates each design dimension 0-10, explains what would make it a 10, then fixes the plan to get there. Covers information architecture, interaction states, motion/micro-interactions, user journey, AI slop risk, content/copy quality, design system alignment, responsive/a11y, perceived performance, theming, and unresolved decisions. Supports Standard (per-pass) and Quick-pass (grouped) pacing. Detects review context (git/PR, plan document, or hybrid). Produces a go/no-go design readiness verdict. Works in plan mode. For live site visual audits, use /design-review. Use when asked to "review the design plan" or "design critique". Proactively suggest when the user has a plan with UI/UX components that should be reviewed before implementation.
Developer experience plan review for developer-facing products (APIs, CLIs, SDKs, libraries, platforms, docs). Investigates developer personas, benchmarks against competitors, designs magical moments, traces friction points, then scores 8 DX dimensions 0-10. Three modes: DX EXPANSION (competitive advantage), DX POLISH (bulletproof every touchpoint), DX TRIAGE (critical gaps only). Use when asked to "DX review", "developer experience audit", "devex review", or "API design review". Proactively suggest when the user has a plan for a developer-facing product.
Eng manager-mode plan review. Lock in the execution plan — architecture, security, data flow, concurrency, diagrams, edge cases, test coverage, performance, observability, deployment. Supports Standard (per-section) and Quick-pass (grouped) pacing. Detects review context (git/PR, plan document, or hybrid). Walks through issues interactively with opinionated recommendations and produces a go/no-go readiness verdict. Use when asked to "review the architecture", "engineering review", or "lock in the plan". Proactively suggest when the user has a plan or design doc and is about to start coding — to catch architecture issues before implementation.
