Where each gate sits: - -``` -plan parsed -→ dispatch all eligible implementers in parallel [START GATE: context + file boundary / worktree] -→ collect results -→ review each result (spec → quality) [ACCEPTANCE GATE, per task] -→ fix only the failed ones -→ integration/merge agent resolves overlaps [INTEGRATION GATE — submode B only] -→ final review + full test/type/build verification [ACCEPTANCE GATE, whole] -→ controller commits / finish [RELEASE GATE] -``` - -Steps: - -1. **Read plan once.** Extract all tasks: full text + context. Make task list. -2. **Map file ownership + pick submode** (see [Execution Modes](#execution-modes)). Per task → list every file it creates/edits. Disjoint → **submode A**. Unavoidable overlap → **submode B**. Deep ordering dep → pull to a sequential chain. -3. **Dispatch the whole batch in ONE message** (concurrent). Each implementer: - - `model: opus` (parallel default = most capable, see [Model Selection](#model-selection)) - - full task text + scene-setting context - - explicit **file-ownership boundary**: "You own ONLY these files: [...]." - - submode A → **no git / no commit** (controller commits). submode B → `isolation: "worktree"`, commit to your own branch. -4. **Collect every report before reviewing** — the acceptance gate doesn't open until results exist. Note status (DONE / DONE_WITH_CONCERNS / BLOCKED / NEEDS_CONTEXT), handle blockers per [Handling Implementer Status](#handling-implementer-status). -5. **Review each result — spec THEN quality.** Fan reviewers out in parallel (1 spec + 1 quality per task), each on `model: opus`. A failing review blocks only THAT task's acceptance, not the others. -6. **Fix only the failed ones.** Re-dispatch a fix subagent (`model: opus`) scoped to that task. Re-review til clean. -7. **[Submode B] Integration/merge agent** (`model: opus`) reconciles branches at the integration gate. Keep overlaps light — a merger reconstructing intent on heavy same-function conflicts is a bug vector. (Submode A has nothing to merge.) -8. **Final integration review** (`model: opus`) **+ full verification** over the whole. Run the full test / type / build pass HERE — agents only saw their slice; cross-task interaction bugs surface only now. -9. **Commit / finish.** Controller commits (submode A: one commit per task; submode B: after merge). Hand off → **superpowers:finishing-a-development-branch**. - -**Why this is safe:** parallel mode relaxes only the START gate (see [Start Gate vs Acceptance Gate](#start-gate-vs-acceptance-gate)) — every task still passes spec, quality, integration, and real verification before it's accepted or committed. You trade serial *waiting*, not quality. - -**Submode B caveat:** recovering each agent's worktree branch to merge it back is **not a verified path in this harness**. Prefer submode A when you can partition cleanly; reach for B only when overlap is unavoidable, and confirm the branch handoff end-to-end. - -## Model Selection - -Use the least powerful model that handles each role → save cost, gain speed. - -- **Mechanical** (isolated fns, clear spec, 1-2 files) → cheap, fast model. Most impl tasks are mechanical when the plan is well-specified. -- **Integration / judgment** (multi-file coordination, pattern-match, debug) → standard model. -- **Architecture / design / review** → most capable. - -Signals: -- 1-2 files + complete spec → cheap -- multi-file + integration concerns → standard -- design judgment / broad codebase understanding → most capable - -**Parallel-mode default → Opus for EVERY agent.** Not just implementers — the spec reviewer, quality reviewer, integration/merge agent, and final reviewer all run on Opus too. Cheap-model guidance optimizes a *serial* pipeline (cost compounds task-after-task); a parallel batch has no serialization to amortize → capability-per-task dominates, stronger agents land clean w/ less rework. Reserve cheaper models for clearly-mechanical tasks in a sequential run. - -## Handling Implementer Status - -Implementers report one of four. Handle each: - -**DONE:** → spec compliance review. - -**DONE_WITH_CONCERNS:** completed but flagged doubts. Read concerns first. Correctness/scope → address before review. Observations (e.g. "file getting large") → note + proceed. - -**NEEDS_CONTEXT:** missing info. Provide + re-dispatch. (Parallel: includes hitting a file outside its ownership set → re-partition or move task to the sequential chain.) - -**BLOCKED:** can't complete. Assess: -1. context problem → more context, re-dispatch same model -2. needs more reasoning → re-dispatch more capable model -3. too large → split smaller -4. plan itself wrong → escalate to human - -**Never** ignore an escalation or force the same model to retry unchanged.

Yes → Phase 4 - - Didn't work?

Do it right from the start. | -| "I'll write test after confirming fix works" | Untested fixes don't stick. Test first proves it. | -| "Multiple fixes at once saves time" | Can't isolate what worked. Causes new bugs. | -| "Reference too long, I'll adapt the pattern" | Partial understanding guarantees bugs. Read it completely. | -| "I see the problem, let me fix it" | Seeing symptoms ≠ understanding root cause. | -| "One more fix attempt" (after 2+ failures) | 3+ failures = architectural problem.

Keeping unverified code is technical debt. | -| "Keep as reference, write tests first" | You'll adapt it. That's testing after. Delete means delete. | -| "Need to explore first" | Fine. Throw away exploration, start with TDD. | -| "Test hard = design unclear" | Listen to test. Hard to test = hard to use. | -| "TDD will slow me down" | TDD faster than debugging. Pragmatic = test-first. | -| "Manual test faster" | Manual doesn't prove edge cases. You'll re-test every change. | -| "Existing code has no tests" | You're improving it.
