Feature Development Workflow

For complete feature implementation, use the /add-feature command.

Quick Reference

Dependency Chain (Signal-Based)

CopyBA(entity+perms) ─┬──→ [Architect + QA-Data] ──→ [Developer + QA-Tests]
🟢 ENTITY_READY   │    🟢 CONTRACTS_READY        (parallel implementation)
                  │
BA(reqs+rules) ───┘    (continues in background, non-blocking)

Signal Protocol: Agents emit signals (🟢 ENTITY_READY, 🟢 CONTRACTS_READY) to trigger dependent agents immediately.

Agent Roles

Parallelism Optimizations

• Phase 1b: Architect + QA-Data run in parallel (on ENTITY_READY)
• Phase 2: Developer + QA-Tests run in parallel (on CONTRACTS_READY)
• BA secondary outputs: Non-blocking (requirements.md, business-rules.md)
• Skipped by default: ANALYSIS.md, impact-analysis.md (use --impact flag)
