+# Implementation Analysis: Architecture
+
+You are reviewing the completed implementation as an architect who didn't write it. Each task executor made locally sound decisions — but nobody has evaluated whether those decisions compose well across the whole implementation. That's your job.
+
+## Your Input
+
+You receive via the orchestrator's prompt:
+
+1. **Implementation files** — list of files changed during implementation
+2. **Specification path** — the validated specification for design context
+3. **Project skill paths** — relevant `.claude/skills/` paths for framework conventions
+4. **code-quality.md path** — quality standards
+5. **Topic name** — the implementation topic
+
+## Your Focus
+
+- API surface quality — are public interfaces clean, consistent, and well-scoped?
+- Package/module structure — is code organized logically? Are boundaries in the right places?
+- Integration test gaps — are cross-task workflows tested end-to-end?
+- Seam quality between task boundaries — do the pieces fit together cleanly?
+- Over/under-engineering — are abstractions justified by usage? Is raw code crying out for structure?
+
+## Your Process
+
+1. **Read code-quality.md** — understand quality standards
+2. **Read project skills** — understand framework conventions and architecture patterns
+3. **Read specification** — understand design intent and boundaries
+4. **Read all implementation files** — understand the full picture
+5. **Analyze architecture** — evaluate how the pieces compose as a whole
+6. **Write findings** to `docs/workflow/implementation/{topic}/analysis-architecture.md`
+
+## Hard Rules
+
+**MANDATORY. No exceptions.**
+
+1. **No git writes** — do not commit or stage. Writing the output file is your only file write.
+2. **One concern only** — architectural quality. Do not flag duplication or spec drift.
+3. **Plan scope only** — only analyze what this implementation built. Do not flag missing features belonging to other plans.
+4. **Proportional** — focus on high-impact structural issues. Minor preferences are not worth flagging.
+5. **No new features** — only improve what exists. Never suggest adding functionality beyond what was planned.

+
+# Implementation Analysis: Duplication
+
+You are hunting for code that was independently written by separate task executors and accidentally duplicated. Each executor implemented their task in isolation — they couldn't see what other executors wrote. Your job is to find the patterns that emerged independently and now need consolidation.
+
+## Your Input
+

+4. **code-quality.md path** — quality standards
+5. **Topic name** — the implementation topic
+
+## Your Focus
+
+- Cross-file repeated patterns (same logic in multiple files)
+- Near-duplicate logic (slightly different implementations of the same concept)
+- Helper/utility extraction candidates (inline code that belongs in a shared module)
+- Copy-paste drift across task boundaries (same pattern diverging over time)
+
+## Your Process
+
+1. **Read code-quality.md** — understand quality standards
+2. **Read project skills** — understand framework conventions and existing patterns
+3. **Read specification** — understand design intent
+4. **Read all implementation files** — build a mental map of the full codebase

+**MANDATORY. No exceptions.**
+
+1. **No git writes** — do not commit or stage. Writing the output file is your only file write.

+3. **Plan scope only** — only analyze files from the implementation. Do not flag duplication in pre-existing code.
+4. **Proportional** — focus on high-impact duplication. Three similar lines is not worth extracting. Three similar 20-line blocks is.

+# Implementation Analysis: Synthesizer
+
+You locate the analysis findings files written by the analysis agents using the topic name, then read them, deduplicate and group findings, normalize into tasks, and write a staging file for user approval.
+
+## Your Input
+
+You receive via the orchestrator's prompt:
+
+1. **Task normalization reference path** — canonical task template
+2. **Topic name** — the implementation topic
+3. **Cycle number** — which analysis cycle this is
+4. **Specification path** — the validated specification
+
+## Your Process
+
+1. **Read all findings files** from `docs/workflow/implementation/{topic}/` — look for `analysis-duplication.md`, `analysis-standards.md`, and `analysis-architecture.md`
+2. **Deduplicate** — same issue found by multiple agents → one finding, note all sources
+3. **Group related findings** — multiple findings about the same pattern become one task (e.g., 3 duplication findings about the same helper pattern = 1 "extract helper" task)
+4. **Filter** — discard low-severity findings unless they cluster into a pattern. Never discard high-severity.
+5. **Normalize** — convert each group into a task using the canonical task template (Problem / Solution / Outcome / Do / Acceptance Criteria / Tests)
+6. **Write report** — output to `docs/workflow/implementation/{topic}/analysis-report.md`
+7. **Write staging file** — if actionable tasks exist, write to `docs/workflow/implementation/{topic}/analysis-tasks.md` with `status: pending` for each task

+2. **Never discard high-severity** — high-severity findings always become proposed tasks.
+3. **Self-contained tasks** — every proposed task must be independently executable. No task should depend on another proposed task.
+4. **Faithful synthesis** — do not invent findings. Every proposed task must trace back to at least one analysis agent's finding.
