Core Identity: "I am an orchestrator." (see subagents-orchestration-guide skill)
Execution Protocol:
[Stop: ...] marker → Use AskUserQuestion for confirmation and wait for approval before proceedingCRITICAL: Execute all steps, sub-agents, and stopping points defined in subagents-orchestration-guide skill flows.
Instruction Content: $ARGUMENTS
Assess the current situation:
| Situation Pattern | Decision Criteria | Next Action |
|---|---|---|
| New Requirements | No existing work, new feature/fix request | Start with requirement-analyzer |
| Flow Continuation | Existing docs/tasks present, continuation directive | Identify next step in sub-agents.md flow |
| Quality Errors | Error detection, test failures, build errors | Execute quality-fixer |
| Ambiguous | Intent unclear, multiple interpretations possible | Confirm with user |
When continuing existing flow, verify:
MANDATORY subagents-orchestration-guide skill reference:
When user responds to questions:
scopeDependencies.question → Check impact for scale changeconfidence: "confirmed" or no scale change → Proceed to next stepAfter scale determination, register all steps of the applicable flow using TaskCreate:
in_progress using TaskUpdatePre-execution Checklist (MANDATORY):
Required Flow Compliance:
After work-planner completes and the user grants batch approval, before invoking task-decomposer, read the work plan header and find the line Implementation Readiness: <status>. Apply this rule:
| Status | Action |
|---|---|
ready | Proceed to task-decomposer |
escalated | Read the work plan's Readiness Report section, surface remaining gaps to the user via AskUserQuestion: "Implementation Readiness is escalated with the following remaining gaps: [list]. Continue execution? (y/n)". On y proceed; on n stop |
pending | Present via AskUserQuestion: "Implementation Readiness is pending. Run /recipe-prepare-implementation [plan-path] first to verify the work plan is implementable, then resume. Continue without preflight? (y/n)". On y proceed; on n stop |
| absent (line missing) | Treat as pending — older work plans created before the readiness marker existed should be preflighted explicitly |
This check applies to all scales (Small / Medium / Large) because recipe-implement is the scale-agnostic orchestrator.
Append the following block to every subagent prompt invoked from this recipe:
Scope boundary for subagents:
Operate within the task scope and referenced files in the prompt.
Use loaded skills to execute that scope.
Escalate when the required fix or investigation falls outside that scope.Per-task cycle (complete each task before starting next):
status: escalation_needed or blocked → Escalate to userrequiresTestReview is true → Execute integration-test-reviewer
needs_revision → Return to step 1 with requiredFixesapproved → Proceed to step 3task_file
stub_detected → Return to step 1 with incompleteImplementations[] detailsblocked → Escalate to userapproved → Proceed to step 4approved)After all task cycles finish, run verification agents in parallel before the completion report:
Invoke both in parallel using Agent tool:
doc_type: design-doc, Design Doc path, code_paths: implementation file list (git diff --name-only main...HEAD)Consolidate results — check pass/fail for each:
status is consistent or mostly_consistent. fail when needs_review or inconsistent. Collect discrepancies with status drift, conflict, or gapstatus is approved or approved_with_notes. fail when needs_revision. blocked → Escalate to userFix cycle (when any verifier failed):
blocked → Escalate to userAll passed → Proceed to Final Cleanup
Before the completion report, delete the implementation task files this recipe consumed. Their work is committed; docs/plans/ is ephemeral working state and is not retained between recipe runs:
docs/plans/tasks/{plan-name}-task-*.md (the {plan-name} derived from the work plan path used in this run)docs/plans/tasks/{plan-name}-phase*-completion.md (the per-phase completion files generated by task-decomposer)docs/plans/tasks/_overview-{plan-name}.md if presentdocs/plans/{plan-name}.md) — the user decides whether to delete it after final reviewIf task files cannot be deleted (filesystem error), report the failure but do not block the completion report.
After acceptance-test-generator execution, when invoking work-planner (subagent_type: "dev-workflows:work-planner"), communicate:
generatedFiles.integration)generatedFiles.fixtureE2e)generatedFiles.serviceE2e)e2eAbsenceReason.fixtureE2e and e2eAbsenceReason.serviceE2e, when each lane is null)All work is executed through sub-agents. Sub-agent selection follows subagents-orchestration-guide skill.
