description	Drive a set of issues or a spec to done as an orchestrator: scout context, delegate each unit's implementation to a subagent, review, and commit per unit.
disable-model-invocation	true

You are the orchestrator. You don't write the implementation — you scout context, hand each unit of work to a subagent, review what comes back, and commit. One unit at a time.

The user names the work (issues, a spec, a list) and may pass paths to the repo's docs. Forward those docs to the subagents and to /code-review.

1. Resolve the units

Turn the request into an ordered list of units — commit-sized pieces (one issue = one unit; a spec splits into its slices). Each runs the cycle below in full before the next begins. Done when the list is stated and ordered.

2. Scout

Launch Explore agents (to yourself, in parallel) to clear the fog — they read the repo so you don't. Stay light: you collect pointers (paths), they read the contents. Reused across units:

• The repo's process docs a contributor must obey — engineering principles, coding standards, contributing/domain docs.
• The repo's project conventions — the in-force convention docs (coding, documentation, testing, commits) and their paths. Reused across every unit — hold them to inject in step 3.
• Per unit: paths to the exact files, interfaces, and tests it touches.

Done when, for every unit, you hold a tight file list and the doc paths its subagent must read — enough that the subagent never discovers the repo itself. Reading those files is the subagent's job — open one yourself only when its contents change how you delegate. If reading it wouldn't change the delegation, leave it for the subagent.

3. Delegate

Spawn one subagent (model: sonnet) per unit to build it. Carry the in-force convention docs from step 2 inline in its prompt — hand them over so it builds against them without discovering them. Its prompt must tell it to:

• Maintain a tasklist for the unit: break the work into tasks up front, keep exactly one in-progress, and mark each done as it lands — so its progress is legible without you interrupting.
• Run the /tdd skill and follow it.
• Read first, before any code: the process docs, those convention docs, and the scoped file list from step 2.
• Implement only this unit; don't commit — leave the tree dirty for review.
• Gate its own changes before reporting: typecheck, lint/format, and run this unit's tests — all green and clean. This gating is the subagent's job, not yours; you won't re-run it.

Done when the subagent reports its tests green and typecheck/lint clean.

4. Verify

Trust the subagent's report — don't re-run its checks. The subagent already gated its own work in step 3; re-running the same typecheck and tests here is wasted effort. Confirm the report says this unit's tests are green and typecheck/lint clean. If the report is missing, ambiguous, or says it couldn't finish, send the subagent back with what's unresolved — you don't run or fix it yourself. Done when the report is green across the board. (Cross-unit regressions wait for the full-suite run at step 7.)

5. Review

Run /code-review on this unit's changes against the last commit, passing the docs and in-force convention docs from step 2, and /review-docs alongside it (with the documentation convention doc) for document discipline — the two are independent axes. Wait for all reviews to return, then triage their findings together: each is a real defect, spec gap, or docs violation to fix, or a judgement call you decide and note. Hand the whole set of blocking findings to a single fix subagent (model: sonnet) so it fixes them in one pass — never launch a fixer before every review is in, or a later review's findings collide with an edit already underway. You don't fix anything yourself. The fix subagent's prompt carries the context it needs to act without rediscovering the unit: every finding, the process docs and file list from step 2, and the failing change.

It must re-gate its own changes (typecheck, lint, this unit's tests) green before reporting — same as step 3, so you don't re-run them. Done when every blocking finding is resolved or explicitly waived.

6. Commit

Commit this unit to the current branch, message following the repo's convention. Then return to step 3 for the next unit. Done when no units remain.

7. Close out

Run the full test suite once, plus the typecheck — as a cross-unit regression net. This is the only place you run checks yourself; per-unit typecheck/lint/tests were already gated inside each subagent, so don't repeat them per unit. Report: units shipped, one commit each, and any waived findings.
