Use when work needs bounded subagent coordination, parallel read-only exploration, independent review gates, broad context partitioning, or controlled handoffs.
Test-driven development. Use when the user wants to build features or fix bugs test-first, mentions "red-green-refactor", or wants integration tests.
Perpetual auto-optimization mode. Never stops until 8-angle exhaustion. Inherits WF acceptance gates and subagent orchestration per cycle. Use for Claude /wf-auto, Codex $wf-auto, auto mode, or unbounded self-directed optimization.
Perpetual inspiration mode for /wf-auto-spark or $wf-auto-spark. Inherits WF-AUTO/WF execution gates while using external spark search, roadmap anchoring, and <=50% deviation guard.
Use for /wf-learn in Claude Code, $wf-learn or /skills wf-learn in Codex, or when the user wants a learning cycle from repeated errors, corrections, patterns, or session history.
Use for /wf-max in Claude Code, $wf-max or /skills wf-max in Codex, or maximum-parallelism Harness work with WF strict-superset gates and CEO -> manager -> worker decomposition.
Use when a project README already exists and the user asks to preserve, merge, modernize, optimize, or clarify repository documentation during harness install or documentation work.
Use for /wf-remove in Claude Code, $wf-remove or /skills wf-remove in Codex, or any request to uninstall Harness safely.
