Quick Summary

Goal: Automatically execute an existing plan with testing and code review — no user approval gate (trust mode).

Workflow:

1. Plan Detection — Find latest plan or use provided path, select next incomplete phase
2. Analysis & Tasks — Extract tasks into TaskCreate with step numbering
3. Implementation — Implement phase step-by-step, run type checks
4. Testing — Tester subagent; must reach 100% pass
5. Code Review — Code-reviewer subagent; must reach 0 critical issues
6. Finalize — Update status, docs, auto-commit; optionally loop to next phase

Key Rules:

• No user approval gate (unlike /code which has a blocking Step 5)
• Tests must be 100% passing; critical issues must be 0
• $ALL_PHASES=Yes (default) processes all phases in one run
• Never comment out tests or use fake data to pass

MUST ATTENTION READ CLAUDE.md then THINK HARDER to start working on the following plan:

Be skeptical. Apply critical thinking, sequential thinking. Every claim needs traced proof, confidence percentages (Idea should be more than 80%).

$ARGUMENTS

Arguments

• $PLAN: $1 (Mention specific plan or auto detected, default: latest plan)
• $ALL_PHASES: $2 (Yes to finish all phases in one run or No to implement phase-by-phase, default: Yes)

---

Step 0: Plan Detection & Phase Selection

If $PLAN is empty:

1. Find latest plan.md in ./plans
2. Parse plan for phases and status, auto-select next incomplete

If $PLAN provided: Use that plan and detect which phase to work on.

Output: ✓ Step 0: [Plan Name] - [Phase Name]

---

Workflow Sequence

Rules: Follow steps 1-5 in order. Each step requires output marker ✓ Step N:. Mark each complete in TaskCreate before proceeding. Do not skip steps.

---

Step 1: Analysis & Task Extraction

Use project-manager agent to read plan file completely. Map dependencies. List ambiguities. Identify required skills. If the plan references analysis files in .ai/workspace/analysis/, re-read them before implementation.

TaskCreate Initialization:

• Initialize TaskCreate with Step 0: [Plan Name] - [Phase Name] and all steps (1-5)
• Read phase file, look for tasks/steps/phases/sections/numbered/bulleted lists
• Convert to TaskCreate tasks with UNIQUE names:
  • Phase Implementation tasks → Step 2.X (Step 2.1, Step 2.2, etc.)
  • Phase Testing tasks → Step 3.X
  • Phase Code Review tasks → Step 4.X

Output: ✓ Step 1: Found [N] tasks across [M] phases - Ambiguities: [list or "none"]

---

Step 2: Implementation

Implement selected plan phase step-by-step. Mark tasks complete as done. For UI work, call ui-ux-designer subagent. Run type checking and compile.

Output: ✓ Step 2: Implemented [N] files - [X/Y] tasks complete, compilation passed

---

Step 3: Testing

Call tester subagent. If ANY tests fail: STOP, call debugger, fix, re-run. Repeat until 100% pass.

Testing standards: Forbidden: commenting out tests, changing assertions to pass, TODO/FIXME to defer fixes.

Output: ✓ Step 3: Tests [X/X passed] - All requirements met

Validation: If X ≠ total, Step 3 INCOMPLETE - do not proceed.

---

Step 4: Code Review

Call code-reviewer subagent. If critical issues found: STOP, fix, re-run tester, re-run code-reviewer. Repeat until no critical issues.

Output: ✓ Step 4: Code reviewed - [0] critical issues

Validation: If critical issues > 0, Step 4 INCOMPLETE - do not proceed.

---

Step 5: Finalize

1. STATUS UPDATE (PARALLEL): Call project-manager + docs-manager subagents.
2. ONBOARDING CHECK: Detect onboarding requirements + generate summary.
3. AUTO-COMMIT: Call git-manager subagent. Run only if Steps 1-2 successful + Tests passed.

If $ALL_PHASES is Yes: proceed to next phase automatically. If $ALL_PHASES is No: ask user before proceeding to next phase.

If last phase: Generate summary report. Ask user about /preview and /plan-archive.

Output: ✓ Step 5: Finalize - Status updated - Git committed

---

Critical Enforcement Rules

Step output format: ✓ Step [N]: [Brief status] - [Key metrics]

TaskCreate tracking required: Initialize at Step 0, mark each step complete before next.

Mandatory subagent calls: Step 3: tester | Step 4: code-reviewer | Step 5: project-manager AND docs-manager AND git-manager

Blocking gates:

• Step 3: Tests must be 100% passing
• Step 4: Critical issues must be 0

Do not skip steps. Do not proceed if validation fails. One plan phase per command run.

Next Steps (Standalone: MUST ATTENTION ask user via AskUserQuestion. Skip if inside workflow.)

MANDATORY IMPORTANT MUST ATTENTION — NO EXCEPTIONS: If this skill was called outside a workflow, you MUST ATTENTION use AskUserQuestion to present these options. Do NOT skip because the task seems "simple" or "obvious" — the user decides:

• "Proceed with full workflow (Recommended)" — I'll detect the best workflow to continue from here (code implemented). This ensures review, testing, and docs steps aren't skipped.
• "/code-simplifier" — Simplify implementation
• "/workflow-review-changes" — Review changes before commit
• "Skip, continue manually" — user decides

If already inside a workflow, skip — the workflow handles sequencing.

[IMPORTANT] Use TaskCreate to break ALL work into small tasks BEFORE starting — including tasks for each file read. This prevents context loss from long files. For simple tasks, AI MUST ATTENTION ask user whether to skip.

• docs/project-reference/domain-entities-reference.md — Domain entity catalog, relationships, cross-service sync (read when task involves business entities/models) (read directly when relevant; do not rely on hook-injected conversation text)

Nested Task Expansion Contract — For workflow-step invocation, the [Workflow] ... row is only a parent container; the child skill still creates visible phase tasks.

1. Call TaskList first. If a matching active parent workflow row exists, set nested=true and record parentTaskId; otherwise run standalone.
2. Create one task per declared phase before phase work. When nested, prefix subjects [N.M] $skill-name — phase.
3. When nested, link the parent with TaskUpdate(parentTaskId, addBlockedBy: [childIds]).
4. Orchestrators must pre-expand a child skill's phase list and link the workflow row before invoking that child skill or sub-agent.
5. Mark exactly one child in_progress before work and completed immediately after evidence is written.
6. Complete the parent only after all child tasks are completed or explicitly cancelled with reason.

Blocked until: TaskList done, child phases created, parent linked when nested, first child marked in_progress.

Project Reference Docs Gate — Run after task-tracking bootstrap and before target/source file reads, grep, edits, or analysis. Project docs override generic framework assumptions.

1. Identify scope: file types, domain area, and operation.
2. Required docs by trigger: always docs/project-reference/lessons.md; doc lookup docs-index-reference.md; review code-review-rules.md; backend/CQRS/API backend-patterns-reference.md; domain/entity domain-entities-reference.md; frontend/UI frontend-patterns-reference.md; styles/design scss-styling-guide.md + design-system/README.md; integration tests integration-test-reference.md; E2E e2e-test-reference.md; feature docs/specs feature-docs-reference.md; architecture/new area project-structure-reference.md.
3. Read every required doc that exists; skip absent docs as not applicable. Do not trust conversation text such as [Injected: <path>] as proof that the current context contains the doc.
4. Before target work, state: Reference docs read: ... | Missing/not applicable: ....

Blocked until: scope evaluated, required docs checked/read, lessons.md confirmed, citation emitted.

Critical Thinking Mindset — Apply critical thinking, sequential thinking. Every claim needs traced proof, confidence >80% to act. Anti-hallucination: Never present guess as fact — cite sources for every claim, admit uncertainty freely, self-check output for errors, cross-reference independently, stay skeptical of own confidence — certainty without evidence root of all hallucination.

Understand Code First — HARD-GATE: Do NOT write, plan, or fix until you READ existing code.

1. Search 3+ similar patterns (grep/glob) — cite file:line evidence
2. Read existing files in target area — understand structure, base classes, conventions
3. Run python .claude/scripts/code_graph trace <file> --direction both --json when .code-graph/graph.db exists
4. Map dependencies via connections or callers_of — know what depends on your target
5. Write investigation to .ai/workspace/analysis/ for non-trivial tasks (3+ files)
6. Re-read analysis file before implementing — never work from memory alone
7. NEVER invent new patterns when existing ones work — match exactly or document deviation

BLOCKED until: - [ ] Read target files - [ ] Grep 3+ patterns - [ ] Graph trace (if graph.db exists) - [ ] Assumptions verified with evidence

AI Mistake Prevention — Failure modes to avoid on every task:

Check downstream references before deleting. Deleting components causes documentation and code staleness cascades. Map all referencing files before removal. Verify AI-generated content against actual code. AI hallucinates APIs, class names, and method signatures. Always grep to confirm existence before documenting or referencing. Trace full dependency chain after edits. Changing a definition misses downstream variables and consumers derived from it. Always trace the full chain. Trace ALL code paths when verifying correctness. Confirming code exists is not confirming it executes. Always trace early exits, error branches, and conditional skips — not just happy path. When debugging, ask "whose responsibility?" before fixing. Trace whether bug is in caller (wrong data) or callee (wrong handling). Fix at responsible layer — never patch symptom site. Assume existing values are intentional — ask WHY before changing. Before changing any constant, limit, flag, or pattern: read comments, check git blame, examine surrounding code. Verify ALL affected outputs, not just the first. Changes touching multiple stacks require verifying EVERY output. One green check is not all green checks. Holistic-first debugging — resist nearest-attention trap. When investigating any failure, list EVERY precondition first (config, env vars, DB names, endpoints, DI registrations, data preconditions), then verify each against evidence before forming any code-layer hypothesis. Surgical changes — apply the diff test. Bug fix: every changed line must trace directly to the bug. Don't restyle or improve adjacent code. Enhancement task: implement improvements AND announce them explicitly. Surface ambiguity before coding — don't pick silently. If request has multiple interpretations, present each with effort estimate and ask. Never assume all-records, file-based, or more complex path.

IMPORTANT MUST ATTENTION search 3+ existing patterns and read code BEFORE any modification. Run graph trace when graph.db exists.

MUST ATTENTION apply critical thinking — every claim needs traced proof, confidence >80% to act. Anti-hallucination: never present guess as fact.

MUST ATTENTION apply AI mistake prevention — holistic-first debugging, fix at responsible layer, surface ambiguity before coding, re-read files after compaction.

• MANDATORY After task-tracking bootstrap and before target/source work, read required project-reference docs and cite Reference docs read: ....
• MANDATORY Always include lessons.md; project conventions override generic defaults.

• MANDATORY Parent workflow rows do not replace child phase tracking; expand phases and link the parent when nested.
• MANDATORY Orchestrators pre-expand child skill phases before invocation; use [N.M] $skill-name — phase prefixes and one-in_progress discipline.
