Full-lifecycle project workflow. Takes batched tickets, implements via /implement-batch, runs smoke tests, then executes a comprehensive quality pipeline (refactor, review-arch, review-test, tidy-docs, review-release). Maximizes autonomy with andon cord escape.

Adversarial project planning workflow. Explores the problem space, drafts tickets in batches, then runs sequential adversarial loops — a mandatory UX loop ("should we build this?"), zero or more discretionary specialist loops (security, performance) for projects with architectural implications in those domains, and a mandatory implementer loop ("could we build this?") — to find gaps before impleme

Accessibility audit. Dispatches an accessibility auditor to identify WCAG conformance gaps, prioritize by user impact, and recommend fixes. Advisory only — no changes made.

Bug-fixing workflow that coordinates diagnosis, test-driven reproduction, root-cause analysis, and targeted fixes. Use when the user wants to fix a bug with thorough investigation and regression testing.

Problem redefinition before problem solving. Takes a stated problem, extracts its premises, then spawns reframers applying different lenses (problem-vs-symptom, scope-shift, stakeholder-shift, level-of-abstraction, time-horizon, inversion, category-shift, constraints-shift) in isolation, and synthesizes the alternatives into a report with an orchestrator recommendation. Produces feedback only — no

Analysis of Competing Hypotheses. Operationalizes Richards Heuer's CIA-tradition technique for systematically narrowing among multiple hypotheses against evidence. Builds an explicit hypothesis-vs-evidence matrix and focuses on disconfirmation rather than confirmation — the central insight: hypotheses cannot be proven, only disconfirmed; the surviving hypothesis is the one with the least disconfir

White-box security audit. Blue-teamer and lead red-teamer run in parallel isolation for an independent first pass — neither sees the other's output during reconnaissance. A synthesis step categorizes findings into four prescriptive buckets (anchoring-suppressed, convergent, blue-flagged-unverified, divergent), producing a unified target list. Focused red-teamers then deep-dive each target. Iterate

Pre-release readiness review. Scans for debug artifacts, version mismatches, changelog gaps, git hygiene issues, breaking changes, and license compliance. Runs tests and build verification. Presents consolidated findings for human review before release.

First-pass strategic-orientation review of a repository. Produces an evidence-cited map (not a grade) calibrated to a reference class, helping the user decide where to engage, where to tread carefully, and where to leave alone. Advisory only — no changes made.

Iterative development workflow that coordinates implementation, refactoring, QA, and documentation agents to complete features systematically. Use when the user wants a full development workflow with quality checks.

Autonomous comprehensive refactoring. Three-phase pipeline — Phase 1 /refactor (tactical, loops internally to convergence) → Phase 2 loop of /review-arch + /implement-batch until architectural findings converge below a severity floor (default HIGH+) → Phase 3 /refactor (catches tactical issues introduced by restructuring). Auto-approves /review-arch ticket proposals; pulls the andon cord on contes

Proactive bug-hunting workflow. Assesses codebase risk through complexity, coverage, and structural analysis, then spawns focused investigators that write reproducing tests to validate suspected bugs. Thoroughness over speed. Advisory only — produces findings and proposes tickets; does not implement fixes.
