Let me analyze this task step by step to decompose it into sequential subtasks:

1. **Task Understanding**
   "What is the overall objective?"
   - What is being asked?
   - What is the expected final outcome?
   - What constraints exist?

2. **Identify Natural Boundaries**
   "Where does the work naturally divide?"
   - Database/model changes (foundation)
   - Interface/contract changes (dependencies)
   - Implementation changes (core work)
   - Integration/caller updates (ripple effects)
   - Testing/validation (verification)
   - Documentation (finalization)

3. **Dependency Identification**
   "What must happen before what?"
   - "If I do B before A, will B break or use stale information?"
   - "Does B need any output from A as input?"
   - "Would doing B first require redoing work after A?"
   - What is the minimal viable ordering?

4. **Define Clear Boundaries**
   "What exactly does each subtask encompass?"
   - Input: What does this step receive?
   - Action: What transformation/change does it make?
   - Output: What does this step produce?
   - Verification: How do we know it succeeded?

## Task Decomposition

### Original Task
{task_description}

### Subtasks (Sequential Order)

| Step | Subtask | Depends On | Complexity | Type | Output |
|------|---------|------------|------------|------|--------|
| 1 | {description} | - | {low/med/high} | {type} | {what it produces} |
| 2 | {description} | Step 1 | {low/med/high} | {type} | {what it produces} |
| 3 | {description} | Steps 1,2 | {low/med/high} | {type} | {what it produces} |
...

### Dependency Graph
Step 1 ─→ Step 2 ─→ Step 3 ─→ ...

Let me determine the optimal configuration for each subtask:

For Subtask N:
1. **Complexity Assessment**
   "How complex is the reasoning required?"
   - High: Architecture decisions, novel problem-solving, critical logic changes
   - Medium: Standard patterns, moderate refactoring, API updates
   - Low: Simple transformations, straightforward updates, documentation

2. **Scope Assessment**
   "How extensive is the work?"
   - Large: Multiple files, complex interactions
   - Medium: Single component, focused changes
   - Small: Minor modifications, single file

3. **Risk Assessment**
   "What is the impact of errors?"
   - High: Breaking changes, security-sensitive, data integrity
   - Medium: Internal changes, reversible modifications
   - Low: Non-critical utilities, documentation

4. **Domain Expertise Check**
   "Does this match a specialized agent profile?"
   - Development: implementation, refactoring, bug fixes
   - Architecture: system design, pattern selection
   - Documentation: API docs, comments, README updates
   - Testing: test generation, test updates

Is this subtask CRITICAL (architecture, interface, breaking changes)?
|
+-- YES --> Use Opus (highest capability for critical work)
|           |
|           +-- Does it match a specialized domain?
|               +-- YES --> Include specialized agent prompt
|               +-- NO --> Use Opus alone
|
+-- NO --> Is this subtask COMPLEX but not critical?
           |
           +-- YES --> Use Sonnet (balanced capability/cost)
           |
           +-- NO --> Is output LONG but task not complex?
                      |
                      +-- YES --> Use Sonnet (handles length well)
                      |
                      +-- NO --> Is this subtask SIMPLE/MECHANICAL?
                                 |
                                 +-- YES --> Use Haiku (fast, cheap)
                                 |
                                 +-- NO --> Use Sonnet (default for uncertain)

## Model/Agent Selection

| Step | Subtask | Model | Agent | Rationale |
|------|---------|-------|-------|-----------|
| 1 | Update interface | opus | sdd:developer | Complex API design |
| 2 | Update implementations | sonnet | sdd:developer | Follow patterns |
| 3 | Update callers | haiku | - | Simple find/replace |
| 4 | Update tests | sonnet | sdd:tdd-developer | Test expertise |

## Completed Steps Summary

### Step 1: Define UserRepository Interface
- **What was done:** Created `src/repositories/UserRepository.ts` with interface definition
- **Key outputs:**
  - Interface: `IUserRepository` with methods: `findById`, `findByEmail`, `create`, `update`, `delete`
  - Types: `UserCreateInput`, `UserUpdateInput` in `src/types/user.ts`
- **Relevant for next steps:**
  - Implementation must fulfill `IUserRepository` interface
  - Use the defined input types for method signatures

### Step 2: Implement UserRepository
- **What was done:** Created `src/repositories/UserRepositoryImpl.ts` implementing `IUserRepository`
- **Key outputs:**
  - Class: `UserRepositoryImpl` with all interface methods implemented
  - Uses existing database connection from `src/db/connection.ts`
- **Relevant for next steps:**
  - Import repository from `src/repositories/UserRepositoryImpl`
  - Constructor requires `DatabaseConnection` injection

## Reasoning Approach

Before taking any action, think through this subtask systematically.

Let's approach this step by step:

1. "Let me understand what was done in previous steps..."
   - What context am I building on?
   - What interfaces/patterns were established?
   - What constraints did previous steps introduce?

2. "Let me understand what this step requires..."
   - What is the specific objective?
   - What are the boundaries of this step?
   - What must I NOT change (preserve from previous steps)?

3. "Let me plan my approach..."
   - What specific modifications are needed?
   - What order should I make them?
   - What could go wrong?

4. "Let me verify my approach before implementing..."
   - Does my plan achieve the objective?
   - Am I consistent with previous steps' changes?
   - Is there a simpler way?

Work through each step explicitly before implementing.

<task>
{Subtask description}
</task>

<subtask_context>
Step {N} of {total_steps}: {subtask_name}
</subtask_context>

<previous_steps_context>
{Summary of relevant outputs from previous steps - ONLY if this is not the first step}
- Step 1: {what was done, key files modified, relevant decisions}
- Step 2: {what was done, key files modified, relevant decisions}
...
</previous_steps_context>

<constraints>
- Focus ONLY on this specific subtask
- Build upon (do not undo) changes from previous steps
- Follow existing code patterns and conventions
- Produce output that subsequent steps can build upon
</constraints>

<input>
{What this subtask receives - files, context, dependencies}
</input>

<output>
{Expected deliverable - modified files, new files, summary of changes}

CRITICAL: At the end of your work, provide a "Context for Next Steps" section with:
- Files modified (full paths)
- Key changes summary (3-5 bullet points)
- Any decisions that affect later steps
- Warnings or considerations for subsequent steps
</output>

## Self-Critique Verification (MANDATORY)

Before completing, verify your work integrates properly with previous steps. Do not submit unverified changes.

### Verification Questions

Generate verification questions based on the subtask description and the previous steps context. Examples:

| # | Question | Evidence Required |
|---|----------|-------------------|
| 1 | Does my work build correctly on previous step outputs? | [Specific evidence] |
| 2 | Did I maintain consistency with established patterns/interfaces? | [Specific evidence] |
| 3 | Does my solution address ALL requirements for this step? | [Specific evidence] |
| 4 | Did I stay within my scope (not modifying unrelated code)? | [List any out-of-scope changes] |
| 5 | Is my output ready for the next step to build upon? | [Check against dependency graph] |

### Answer Each Question with Evidence

Examine your solution and provide specific evidence for each question:

[Q1] Previous Step Integration:
- Previous step output: [relevant context received]
- How I built upon it: [specific integration]
- Any conflicts: [resolved or flagged]

[Q2] Pattern Consistency:
- Patterns established: [list]
- How I followed them: [evidence]
- Any deviations: [justified or fixed]

[Q3] Requirement Completeness:
- Required: [what was asked]
- Delivered: [what you did]
- Gap analysis: [any gaps]

[Q4] Scope Adherence:
- In-scope changes: [list]
- Out-of-scope changes: [none, or justified]

[Q5] Output Readiness:
- What later steps need: [based on decomposition]
- What I provided: [specific outputs]
- Completeness: [HIGH/MEDIUM/LOW]

### Revise If Needed

If ANY verification question reveals a gap:
1. **FIX** - Address the specific gap identified
2. **RE-VERIFY** - Confirm the fix resolves the issue
3. **UPDATE** - Update the "Context for Next Steps" section

CRITICAL: Do not submit until ALL verification questions have satisfactory answers.

## Task

Generate an evaluation specification yaml for the following step. You will produce rubrics, checklists, and scoring criteria that a judge agent will use to evaluate the implementation artifact.

CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT=`${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}`

## User Prompt
{Original task description from user}

## Step Being Evaluated
Step {N}/{total}: {subtask_name}
{subtask_description}
- Input: {what this step receives}
- Expected output: {what this step should produce}

## Previous Steps Context
{Summary of what previous steps accomplished}

## Artifact Type
{code | documentation | configuration | etc.}

## Instructions
Return only the final evaluation specification YAML in your response.

Message with 2 tool calls:
  Tool call 1 (meta-judge):
    - description: "Meta-judge Step {N}/{total}: {subtask_name}"
    - model: opus
    - subagent_type: "sadd:meta-judge"

  Tool call 2 (implementation):
    - description: "Step {N}/{total}: {subtask_name}"
    - model: {selected model}
    - subagent_type: "{selected agent type}"

You are evaluating Step {N}/{total}: {subtask_name} against an evaluation specification produced by the meta judge.

CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT=`${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}`

## Original Task
{overall_task_description}

## Step Requirements
{subtask_description}
- Input: {what this step receives}
- Expected output: {what this step should produce}

## Previous Steps Context
{Summary of what previous steps accomplished}

{IF pre-existing changes are known (previous steps, prior tasks, or user modifications), include the following section — otherwise omit entirely}

## Pre-existing Changes (Context Only)

The following changes were made BEFORE the current step's implementation agent started working. They are NOT part of the current step's output. Focus your evaluation on the current step's changes. Only verify pre-existing changed files/logic if they directly relate to the current step's requirements.

### {Source of changes: e.g., "Step 1: {step description}" or "Previous Task: {task description}" or "User modifications (before current task)"}
{High-level summary: what was done, which files/modules were created or modified}

### {Additional source if applicable}
{High-level summary}

{END conditional section}

## Evaluation Specification

```yaml
{meta-judge's evaluation specification YAML}

CRITICAL: NEVER provide score threshold, in any format, including `threshold_pass` or anything different. Judge MUST not know what threshold for score is, in order to not be biased!!!

**Dispatch:**

#### 3.5 Dispatch, Verify, and Iterate

For each subtask in sequence:

**Retry prompt template for implementation agent:**

```markdown
## Retry Required: Step {N}/{total}

Your previous implementation did not pass judge verification.

<original_requirements>
{subtask_description}
</original_requirements>

<judge_feedback>
VERDICT: FAIL
SCORE: {score}/5.0
ISSUES:
{list of issues from judge}

Full report available at: {path_to_judge_report}
</judge_feedback>

<your_previous_output>
{files modified in previous attempt}
</your_previous_output>

Instructions:
Let's fix the identified issues step by step.

1. First, review each issue the judge identified
2. For each issue, determine the root cause
3. Plan the fix for each issue
4. Implement ALL fixes
5. Verify your fixes address each issue
6. Provide updated "Context for Next Steps" section

CRITICAL: Focus on fixing the specific issues identified. Do not rewrite everything.

### Meta-Judge Specifications
One evaluation specification generated per step (in parallel with implementation), reused across retries within each step.


### Follow-up Recommendations
{Any improvements suggested by judges, tests to run, or manual verification needed}

Judge FAIL (Retry Available):
  1. Parse ISSUES from judge verdict
  2. Dispatch retry implementation agent with feedback
  3. Re-verify with judge (using same step's meta-judge specification — do NOT re-run meta-judge)
  4. Repeat until PASS or max retries (3)

    │ Fix and improve payment processing
    │
    │ ## Step Requirements
    │ Fix validation bugs in payment amount and currency
    │ checks that allow invalid transactions to proceed.
    │
    │ ## Previous Steps Context
    │ None (first step)
    │
    │ ## Pre-existing Changes (Context Only)
    │
    │ The following changes were made BEFORE the current
    │ step's implementation agent started working. They are
    │ NOT part of the current step's output. Focus your
    │ evaluation on the current step's changes. Only verify
    │ pre-existing changed files/logic if they directly
    │ relate to the current step's requirements.
    │
    │ ### User modifications (before current task)
    │ The user made changes to the following files/modules
    │ before this task was started:
    │ - src/payments/PaymentGateway.ts (new) - Payment
    │   gateway interface definition
    │ - src/payments/StripeAdapter.ts (modified) - Updated
    │   to implement new PaymentGateway interface
    │ - src/config/payment.config.ts (modified) - Added
    │   gateway configuration settings
    │
    │ The current task focuses on fixing validation bugs.
    │ Pre-existing changes to payment files may overlap with
    │ the current step's scope — evaluate whether the
    │ implementation agent's changes correctly fix the bugs
    │ without breaking the pre-existing modifications.

Step 2: Add retry logic for failed payments
  Parallel dispatch: Meta-judge + Implementation
  Judge Verification (with step 2 meta-judge spec):
    NOTE: Pre-existing changes now include BOTH the user's modifications
    AND Step 1's output. The judge needs both sources to correctly
    attribute changes.

/do-in-steps Rename 'userId' to 'accountId' across the codebase - this affects interfaces, implementations, and callers

Step 1: Update interfaces
  Parallel dispatch: Meta-judge + Implementation
  → Judge (Opus, sadd:judge, with step 1 meta-judge spec): PASS, 4.3/5.0

Step 2: Update implementations
  Parallel dispatch: Meta-judge + Implementation
  → Judge (Opus, sadd:judge, with step 2 meta-judge spec): PASS, 4.0/5.0

Step 3: Update callers (Problem Detected)
  Parallel dispatch: Meta-judge + Implementation
  Attempt 1: Judge FAIL, 2.5/5.0 (using step 3 meta-judge spec)
    → ISSUES: Missed 12 occurrences in legacy module
  Attempt 2: Judge FAIL, 2.8/5.0 (reusing same step 3 meta-judge spec)
    → ISSUES: Still missing 4 occurrences, found new deprecated API usage
  Attempt 3: Judge FAIL, 3.2/5.0 (reusing same step 3 meta-judge spec)
    → ISSUES: 2 occurrences in dynamically generated code
  Attempt 4: Judge FAIL, 3.3/5.0 (reusing same step 3 meta-judge spec)
    → ISSUES: Dynamic code generation still not fully addressed

  ESCALATION TO USER:
  "Step 3 failed after 4 attempts. Persistent issue: Dynamic code generation
   in LegacyAdapter.ts generates 'userId' at runtime.
   Options: 1) Provide guidance, 2) Modify requirements, 3) Skip, 4) Abort"

  User response: "Update LegacyAdapter to use string template with accountId"

  Attempt 5 (with user guidance, reusing same step 3 meta-judge spec): Judge PASS, 4.1/5.0

Step 4-5: Each with parallel meta-judge + implementation, complete without issues

## Context for Next Steps

### Files Modified
- `src/dto/UserDTO.ts` (new file)
- `src/services/UserService.ts` (modified)

### Key Changes Summary
- Created UserDTO with fields: id (string), name (string), email (string), createdAt (Date)
- UserDTO includes static `fromUser(user: User): UserDTO` factory method
- Added `toDTO()` method to User class for convenience

### Decisions That Affect Later Steps
- Used class-based DTO (not interface) to enable transformation methods
- Opted for explicit mapping over automatic serialization for better control

### Warnings for Subsequent Steps
- UserDTO does NOT include password field - ensure no downstream code expects it
- The `createdAt` field is formatted as ISO string in JSON serialization

### Verification Points
- TypeScript compiles without errors
- UserDTO.fromUser() correctly maps all User properties
- Existing service tests still pass

---
VERDICT: PASS
SCORE: 4.2/5.0
ISSUES:
  - None
IMPROVEMENTS:
  - Consider adding input validation to fromUser() method
  - Add JSDoc comments for better IDE support

## Detailed Evaluation
[Evidence and analysis following meta-judge specification rubrics...]

---
VERDICT: FAIL
SCORE: 2.8/5.0
ISSUES:
  - Missing User->UserDTO mapping logic in getUser() method
  - Return type annotation changed but actual return value still returns User object
  - No null handling for optional User fields
IMPROVEMENTS:
  - Add static fromUser() factory method to UserDTO
  - Implement toDTO() as instance method on User class
