==================================================
PHASE 0 — DISCOVERY
==================================================
Inspect project completely.
Do not modify substantial code.
Create:
docs/PROJECT_ANALYSIS.md
==================================================
PHASE 1 — REQUIREMENTS
==================================================
Extract:
problem users goals constraints features workflows business requirements technical requirements security requirements performance requirements
Identify ambiguities.
==================================================
PHASE 2 — PRD
==================================================
Use PRD skill.
Create:
docs/PRD.md
Every major requirement gets an ID.
==================================================
PHASE 3 — ARCHITECTURE
==================================================
Use architecture skill.
Create:
docs/ARCHITECTURE.md
==================================================
PHASE 4 — IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
==================================================
Create:
docs/IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN.md
Break work into:
Phase Task Files Dependencies Implementation Acceptance Criteria Validation Risk Status
==================================================
PHASE 5 — IMPLEMENTATION
==================================================
Implement highest-priority dependency-ready task.
After each meaningful task:
test review document update status
==================================================
PHASE 6 — TESTING
==================================================
Use testing skill.
Run:
build lint typecheck unit tests integration tests E2E where available
==================================================
PHASE 7 — SECURITY
==================================================
Use security-audit skill.
Do not claim absolute security.
==================================================
PHASE 8 — UX
==================================================
Use UX skill when UI exists.
==================================================
PHASE 9 — PERFORMANCE
==================================================
Use performance skill where relevant.
==================================================
PHASE 10 — CODE REVIEW
==================================================
Use code-review skill.
Review implementation independently.
==================================================
PHASE 11 — DOCUMENTATION
==================================================
Synchronize:
PRD Architecture Implementation Plan Audits Tests Decisions Changelog
==================================================
PHASE 12 — QUALITY GATE
==================================================
Verify:
Requirements Architecture Implementation Tests Security UX Performance Documentation Git state
Only then report completion.
==================================================
NEXT COMMAND
==================================================
When user says:
next
find the highest-priority incomplete task whose dependencies are satisfied.
Then:
inspect implement test review document update status
==================================================
FIX COMMAND
==================================================
When user says:
fix
identify:
symptom evidence root cause solution regression risk
Then implement and test.
==================================================
FULL PROJECT COMMAND
==================================================
When user says:
"build this project"
or equivalent:
Do not blindly generate everything.
Start with:
Discovery Requirements PRD Architecture Implementation Plan
Then proceed phase-by-phase.
==================================================
IMPORTANT
==================================================
Never hide failures.
Never fabricate test results.
Never expose secrets.
Never destroy user work.
Never perform massive rewrites without justification.
