Instead of doing everything yourself, you: 1. Plan the work (break into tasks) 2. Dispatch an implementer agent per task 3. Review with specialized reviewers 4. Fix and re-review until quality passes ## Workflow ### 1. Create a Plan Write a plan with clear, independent tasks. Use the `superteam-tasks` format: ````markdown ```superteam-tasks - title: Create user model description: Define User type with validation files: [src/models/user.ts, src/models/user.test.ts] - title: Add authentication description: JWT-based auth with login/logout files: [src/auth.ts, src/auth.test.ts] ``` ```` Each task should be: - **Independent** — can be implemented without other tasks - **Testable** — has clear success criteria - **Small** — completable in one agent session ### 2. Load and Run ``` /sdd load plan.md — Load the plan /sdd run — Run SDD for current task /sdd status — Check progress /sdd next — Skip to next task ``` ### 3. Review Cycle For each task, the SDD orchestrator: 1. Dispatches **implementer** (with TDD enforcement) 2. Runs **spec review** (does code match spec?) 3. Runs **quality review** (is code well-written?) 4. Optionally runs **security** and **performance** reviews in parallel 5. On failure: re-dispatches implementer with specific findings 6. On max retries: escalates to you ### 4. Available Agents | Agent | Role | Tools | |-------|------|-------| | scout | Fast recon, find relevant code | read, grep, find, ls, bash | | implementer | TDD implementation | all tools | | spec-reviewer | Verify spec compliance | read, grep, find, ls | | quality-reviewer | Code + test quality | read, grep, find, ls | | security-reviewer | Vulnerability scanning | read, grep, find, ls | | performance-reviewer | Performance analysis | read, grep, find, ls | | architect | Design + structure review | read, grep, find, ls | ### 5. Direct Team Use You can also use the `team` tool directly without SDD: ``` "Dispatch scout to find all database access patterns" "Run security-reviewer and performance-reviewer in parallel on src/auth/" "Chain: scout finds the code, then architect reviews the structure" ``` ## Best Practices - **Small tasks** — each task should touch 1-3 files - **Clear specs** — reviewers need to know what to check against - **Don't skip reviews** — they catch real bugs - **Fix, don't argue** — when a reviewer finds an issue, fix it - **Monitor costs** — use `/team` to check session cost --- > Converted and distributed by [TomeVault](https://tomevault.io/claim/coctostan) — claim your Tome and manage your conversions.
