SPARC development workflow: Specification, Pseudocode, Architecture, Refinement, Completion. A structured approach for complex implementations that ensures thorough planning before coding. Use when: new feature implementation, complex implementations, architectural changes, system redesign, integration work, unclear requirements. Skip when: simple bug fixes, documentation updates, configuration changes, well-defined small tasks, routine maintenance.

Purpose
SPARC development workflow: Specification, Pseudocode, Architecture, Refinement, Completion. A structured approach for complex implementations that ensures thorough planning before coding.
When to Trigger
- new feature implementation
- complex implementations
- architectural changes
- system redesign
- integration work
- unclear requirements
When to Skip
- simple bug fixes
- documentation updates
- configuration changes
- well-defined small tasks
- routine maintenance
Commands
Specification Phase
Define requirements, acceptance criteria, and constraints
npx @claude-flow/cli hooks route --task "specification: [requirements]"Example:
npx @claude-flow/cli hooks route --task "specification: user authentication with OAuth2, MFA, and session management"Pseudocode Phase
Write high-level pseudocode for the implementation
npx @claude-flow/cli hooks route --task "pseudocode: [feature]"Example:
npx @claude-flow/cli hooks route --task "pseudocode: OAuth2 login flow with token refresh"Architecture Phase
Design system structure, interfaces, and dependencies
npx @claude-flow/cli hooks route --task "architecture: [design]"Example:
npx @claude-flow/cli hooks route --task "architecture: auth module with service layer, repository, and API endpoints"Refinement Phase
Iterate on the design based on feedback
npx @claude-flow/cli hooks route --task "refinement: [feedback]"Example:
npx @claude-flow/cli hooks route --task "refinement: add rate limiting and brute force protection"Completion Phase
Finalize implementation with tests and documentation
npx @claude-flow/cli hooks route --task "completion: [final checks]"Example:
npx @claude-flow/cli hooks route --task "completion: verify all tests pass, update API docs, security review"SPARC Coordinator
Spawn SPARC coordinator agent
npx @claude-flow/cli agent spawn --type sparc-coord --name sparc-leadScripts

Best Practices
- Check memory for existing patterns before starting
- Use hierarchical topology for coordination
- Store successful patterns after completion
- Document any new learnings
