Feature Loop Scheme

Prerequisites: Must be in a feature clone directory.

Process

Step 1: Gather Context

Use the explorer subagent to gather context about the codebase relevant to the feature:

• Explore existing code patterns and architecture
• Identify related files and components
• Understand dependencies and integration points
• Set thoroughness level to "medium" for balance between speed and depth

This context will inform the planning phase.

Step 2: Plan or Analyze

Determine feature name from branch: FEATURE_NAME=$(git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD)

• If plan_$FEATURE_NAME.md doesn't exist → Create plan using planner subagent with opus model, ask questions if needed
• If plan_$FEATURE_NAME.md exists → Analyze current progress compared to origin/main, examine plan_$FEATURE_NAME.md and documentation, identify next steps

Step 2.5: Commit Plan (if just created)

If plan was just created in Step 2, commit and push it immediately so it survives session crashes:

git add plan_$FEATURE_NAME.md && git commit -m 'Add feature plan' && git push

Step 3: Create Task List

Create a structured task list based on the plan or next steps:

• Break down into actionable tasks
• Use the TaskCreate tool to create the task list
• Each task should be specific and measurable
• Mark the first task as "in_progress" to begin work

Step 4: Implement

• Code, commit, push with coder-agent
• If problems occur, fix, commit, push with debugger-agent

Step 5: Quality

Run quality skill to fix code style, types, and remove AI slop.

Step 6: Review

Use Task tool with subagent_type="reviewer-agent" for final code review and validation.

Step 7: Summary

Report findings and confirm ready for PR (or list remaining issues).
