+# /sniper-sprint -- Phase 4: Implementation Sprint (Parallel Team)
+
+You are executing the `/sniper-sprint` command. Your job is to run an implementation sprint by spawning a development team to implement selected stories. You are the **team lead** -- you coordinate, facilitate API contract alignment, and ensure quality. You do NOT write code yourself. Follow every step below precisely.
+
+**Arguments:** $ARGUMENTS
+
+---
+
+## Step 0: Pre-Flight Checks
+
+Perform ALL checks before proceeding. If any critical check fails, STOP.
+
+### 0a. Verify SNIPER Is Initialized
+
+1. Read `.sniper/config.yaml`.
+2. If the file does not exist or `project.name` is empty:
+   - **STOP.** Print: "SNIPER is not initialized. Run `/sniper-init` first."
+
+### 0b. Verify Stories Exist
+
+1. List files in `docs/stories/`.
+2. If the directory does not exist or contains no `.md` files:
+   - **STOP.** Print: "No stories found in `docs/stories/`. Run `/sniper-solve` first to create stories."
+
+### 0c. Verify Phase State
+
+1. Read `state` from config.yaml.
+2. Check that `state.artifacts.stories` is not null (stories have been created).
+3. If `state.artifacts.stories` is null but story files exist, print a warning and continue.
+
+### 0d. Verify Framework Files
+
+Check that these files exist:
+- `.sniper/teams/sprint.yaml`
+- `.sniper/spawn-prompts/_template.md`
+- `.sniper/checklists/sprint-review.md`
+- `.sniper/personas/process/developer.md`
+- `.sniper/personas/process/qa-engineer.md`
+- `.sniper/personas/technical/backend.md`
+- `.sniper/personas/technical/frontend.md`
+- `.sniper/personas/technical/infrastructure.md`
+- `.sniper/personas/technical/ai-ml.md`
+- `.sniper/personas/cognitive/systems-thinker.md`
+- `.sniper/personas/cognitive/user-empathetic.md`
+- `.sniper/personas/cognitive/security-first.md`
+- `.sniper/personas/cognitive/performance-focused.md`
+- `.sniper/personas/cognitive/devils-advocate.md`
+
+Report any missing files as warnings.
+
+---
+
+## Step 1: Increment Sprint Number and Update State
+
+Edit `.sniper/config.yaml`:
+
+1. Increment `state.current_sprint` by 1 (e.g., 0 -> 1, 1 -> 2).
+2. Set `state.current_phase: sprint`
+3. Store the new sprint number as `{sprint_number}` for use throughout.
+4. Append to `state.phase_history`:
+   ```yaml
+   - phase: "sprint-{sprint_number}"
+     started_at: "{current ISO timestamp}"
+     completed_at: null
+     approved_by: null
+   ```
+
+---
+
+## Step 2: Read Team Definition and Config
+
+1. Read `.sniper/teams/sprint.yaml` in full. Parse:
+   - `available_teammates`: the pool of possible teammates (not all will be needed)
+   - `sprint_rules`: rules that apply to all sprint execution
+   - `coordination`: pairs that need to communicate
+   - `review_gate`: should be `strict`
+2. Read `.sniper/config.yaml` for:
+   - `ownership` section (file ownership mappings)
+   - `stack` section (technology details)
+   - `agent_teams.max_teammates` (maximum concurrent teammates)
+   - `agent_teams.default_model` and `agent_teams.planning_model`
+
+---
+
+## Step 3: Present Available Stories and Select Sprint Backlog
+
+### 3a. Inventory All Stories
+
+1. Read every `.md` file in `docs/stories/`.
+2. For each story, extract:
+   - Story ID and title (from filename and header)
+   - Epic reference
+   - Complexity (S/M/L)
+   - Priority (P0/P1/P2)
+   - File ownership (which directories it touches)
+   - Dependencies (which other stories must complete first)
+   - Status: check if the story has been implemented in a previous sprint (look for a "Status: Complete" marker or check if the files it would create already exist)
+
+### 3b. Identify Available Stories
+
+Filter to stories that:
+- Have NOT been completed in a previous sprint
+- Have all dependencies satisfied (dependent stories are already completed, OR the dependent story is also being selected for this sprint)
+
+### 3c. Check for Sprint Backlog Argument
+
+If `$ARGUMENTS` contains story IDs (e.g., "S01 S02 S03" or "S01-S05"), use those as the sprint backlog directly. Verify they exist and their dependencies are met.
+
+### 3d. Present to User for Selection
+
+If no stories were specified in arguments, present the available stories to the user:
+
+```
+============================================
+  Sprint {sprint_number} -- Story Selection
+============================================
+
+  Available stories (not yet implemented, dependencies met):
+
+  | #   | Story                        | Epic    | Size | Priority | Ownership        | Deps   |
+  |-----|------------------------------|---------|------|----------|------------------|--------|
+  | S01 | {title}                      | E01     | M    | P0       | backend, tests   | None   |
+  | S02 | {title}                      | E01     | S    | P0       | infra            | None   |
+  | S03 | {title}                      | E02     | M    | P0       | backend, tests   | S01    |
+  | ... | ...                          | ...     | ...  | ...      | ...              | ...    |
+
+  Stories blocked (dependencies not met):
+  | S15 | {title}                      | E05     | L    | P1       | frontend, tests  | S09    |
+
+  Recommended: Start with P0 stories that have no dependencies.
+
+  Select stories for this sprint (e.g., "S01 S02 S03 S04 S05"):
+```
+
+Wait for the user to respond with their selection.
+
+### 3e. Validate Selection
+
+1. Verify all selected stories exist.
+2. Verify dependencies are met (either already completed in a previous sprint, or another selected story satisfies the dependency).
+3. If dependencies are unmet, warn the user and suggest adding the dependency stories.
+4. Check that the total workload is reasonable for one sprint (suggest limiting to 5-10 stories per sprint).
+
+---
+
+## Step 4: Determine Required Teammates
+
+Based on the selected stories' file ownership, determine which teammates to spawn.
+
+### Ownership-to-Teammate Mapping
+
+Read the `owns_from_config` field from each available teammate in sprint.yaml, and cross-reference with config.yaml ownership rules:
+
+| Story touches directories in... | Teammate needed |
+|--------------------------------|-----------------|
+| `ownership.backend` paths (src/backend/, src/api/, src/services/, src/db/, src/workers/) | `backend-dev` |
+| `ownership.frontend` paths (src/frontend/, src/components/, src/hooks/, src/styles/, src/pages/) | `frontend-dev` |
+| `ownership.infrastructure` paths (docker/, .github/, infra/, terraform/, scripts/) | `infra-dev` |
+| AI/ML features mentioned in story | `ai-dev` |
+| Always included | `qa-engineer` |
+
+### Rules
+
+1. Scan each selected story's "File Ownership" field.
+2. Map each ownership area to the corresponding teammate.
+3. `qa-engineer` is ALWAYS included -- they test everything.
+4. `ai-dev` is only needed if stories explicitly mention AI/ML features (check story content, not just ownership).
+5. Do NOT exceed `agent_teams.max_teammates` from config.yaml. If too many teammates would be needed, inform the user and suggest splitting the sprint.
+
+### Teammate Model Selection
+
+From sprint.yaml, note the `model` field for each teammate:
+- Most teammates use `sonnet` (the default model)
+- `ai-dev` uses `opus` (complex AI work)
+
+Store the list of required teammates for the next steps.
+
+---
+
+## Step 5: Assign Stories to Teammates
+
+Each story is assigned to exactly ONE implementation teammate (plus QA gets a testing task for each story).
+
+### Assignment Rules
+
+1. **Backend stories** -> `backend-dev`
+2. **Frontend stories** -> `frontend-dev`
+3. **Infrastructure stories** -> `infra-dev`
+4. **AI/ML stories** -> `ai-dev`
+5. **Full-stack stories** (touch both backend and frontend) -> assign to the teammate whose area has the heavier lift. Note the cross-boundary work in their task description and set up coordination.
+6. **QA stories** -> `qa-engineer` gets a test task for each implementation story, blocked by that story's completion.
+
+### Balance Check
+
+Try to distribute stories roughly evenly across teammates. If one teammate has 5 stories and another has 1, suggest rebalancing to the user.
+
+---
+
+## Step 6: Compose Spawn Prompts
+
+For each needed teammate, compose a spawn prompt by reading persona layers and assembling them into the template.
+
+### Reading Persona Layers
+
+For each teammate in the sprint.yaml `available_teammates` list that is needed:
+
+1. Read the persona files specified in their `compose` section:
+   - Process layer: `.sniper/personas/process/{compose.process}.md`
+   - Technical layer: `.sniper/personas/technical/{compose.technical}.md` (skip if null)
+   - Cognitive layer: `.sniper/personas/cognitive/{compose.cognitive}.md`
+   - Domain layer: domain pack context if configured
+
+2. Read the spawn template: `.sniper/spawn-prompts/_template.md`
+
+3. Look up the ownership paths from config.yaml using the `owns_from_config` field:
+   - e.g., if `owns_from_config: backend`, get the paths from `config.yaml` -> `ownership.backend`
+
+### Assembling the Spawn Prompt
+
+For each teammate, fill the spawn template:
+- `{name}` = teammate name from sprint.yaml
+- `{process_layer}` = contents of process persona file
+- `{technical_layer}` = contents of technical persona file (or "No specific technical lens" if null)
+- `{cognitive_layer}` = contents of cognitive persona file
+- `{domain_layer}` = domain context or "No domain pack configured."
+- `{ownership}` = the actual directory paths from config.yaml
+
+Then append the sprint-specific context:
+
+```
+## Sprint Context
+
+**Sprint:** {sprint_number}
+**Project:** {project.name}
+**Stack:** {full stack details from config.yaml}
+
+## Sprint Rules
+{copy all sprint_rules from sprint.yaml}
+
+## Your Assigned Stories
+
+{For each story assigned to this teammate, include the FULL story file content.
+Read each story file and embed it completely.}
+
+### Story 1: {story ID} - {story title}
+{full content of the story file}
+
+### Story 2: {story ID} - {story title}
+{full content of the story file}
+
+...
+
+## Architecture Reference
+Read `docs/architecture.md` for the full system architecture.
+The relevant sections are embedded in each story above.
+
+## Coordination
+{If this teammate has coordination pairs from sprint.yaml, list them:}
+- Coordinate with `{other teammate}` on: {topic from coordination section}
+- Message your coordination partner BEFORE implementing shared interfaces
+
+## Instructions
+1. Read ALL assigned story files completely before writing any code.
+2. If you have coordination partners, message them to align on shared interfaces BEFORE coding.
+3. Implement each story following the architecture patterns and acceptance criteria.
+4. Write tests for every piece of functionality.
+5. Verify all acceptance criteria are met.
+6. Message the team lead when each story is complete.
+7. If you are blocked, message the team lead IMMEDIATELY.
+```
+
+### QA Engineer Spawn Prompt
+
+The QA engineer's prompt is special -- they test ALL the sprint's stories:
+
+```
+## Sprint Context
+
+**Sprint:** {sprint_number}
+**Project:** {project.name}
+**Stack:** {test_runner from config.yaml}
+
+## Sprint Rules
+{copy all sprint_rules}
+
+## Stories to Test
+
+{For each story in the sprint, include the FULL story file content.
+The QA engineer needs all stories to write comprehensive tests.}
+
+### Story: {story ID} - {story title}
+**Implemented by:** {teammate name}
+**Status:** WAIT for implementation to complete before testing this story.
+{full content of the story file}
+
+...
+
+## Instructions
+1. Read ALL story files to understand the full scope of this sprint.
+2. Your tasks are BLOCKED until the corresponding implementation tasks complete.
+3. When an implementation task completes, write tests for that story:
+   - Unit tests for individual functions
+   - Integration tests for API endpoints
+   - E2E tests for user-facing flows (if specified in the story)
+4. Verify every acceptance criterion from the story.
+5. Run the full test suite and report results.
+6. If you find bugs or deviations from acceptance criteria, message the implementing teammate directly.
+7. Message the team lead with test results for each story.
+```
+
+---
+
+## Step 7: Create the Agent Team
+
+Use TeamCreate:
+
+```
+TeamCreate:
+  team_name: "sniper-sprint-{sprint_number}"
+  description: "SNIPER Sprint {sprint_number} for {project.name}. Stories: {list of story IDs}."
+```
+
+---
+
+## Step 8: Create Tasks with Dependencies
+
+Create tasks in the shared task list.
+
+### Implementation Tasks (can run in parallel)
+
+For each implementation teammate, create one task per assigned story:
+
+```
+TaskCreate:
+  subject: "Implement {story ID}: {story title}"
+  description: "{Full story description including acceptance criteria. Include the file path to the story: docs/stories/{story file}. Mention file ownership boundaries.}"
+  activeForm: "Implementing {story ID}: {story title}"
+```
+
+If stories within the same teammate have inter-story dependencies, set `addBlockedBy` accordingly.
+
+### QA Tasks (blocked by implementation)
+
+For each story, create a QA testing task that is blocked by the implementation task:
+
+```
+TaskCreate:
+  subject: "Test {story ID}: {story title}"
+  description: "Write and run tests for {story ID}. Verify all acceptance criteria. Story file: docs/stories/{story file}."
+  activeForm: "Testing {story ID}: {story title}"
+```
+
+Set dependencies:
+```
+TaskUpdate:
+  taskId: "{qa task id}"
+  addBlockedBy: ["{implementation task id for this story}"]
+```
+
+---
+
+## Step 9: Spawn Teammates
+
+Spawn each required teammate:
+- `team_name`: "sniper-sprint-{sprint_number}"
+- `name`: teammate name from sprint.yaml
+- The full composed spawn prompt from Step 6
+
+**Spawn order:**
+1. Spawn implementation teammates first (backend-dev, frontend-dev, infra-dev, ai-dev as needed).
+2. Spawn qa-engineer last (their tasks are blocked anyway).
+
+Assign tasks using TaskUpdate:
+- Each implementation task -> owner: corresponding teammate name, status: "in_progress"
+- Each QA task -> owner: "qa-engineer" (stays `pending` until implementation completes)
+
+---
+
+## Step 10: Enter Delegate Mode
+
+**You are the team lead. You coordinate. You do NOT write code.**
+
+### 10a: API Contract Alignment (Critical)
+
+If BOTH `backend-dev` and `frontend-dev` are in this sprint:
+
+1. Immediately after spawning, message both:
+   > "Before implementing, align on API contracts. backend-dev: share your planned endpoint specs. frontend-dev: share your expected data shapes. Agree on the contract before coding."
+2. Monitor their conversation. If they are not communicating within 5 minutes, prompt them again.
+3. If there are conflicts in the contract, help mediate.
+
+### 10b: Other Coordination Pairs
+
+From sprint.yaml coordination section, facilitate:
+- **backend-dev <-> ai-dev:** AI pipeline integration points, data flow, WebSocket events, API boundaries
+- **backend-dev <-> qa-engineer:** Share testable endpoints as completed
+
+Message relevant teammates if coordination is not happening organically.
+
+### 10c: Progress Monitoring
+
+Track progress throughout execution:
+
+1. Check TaskList periodically.
+2. When an implementation teammate completes a story:
+   - Verify the code was written (check that new files exist in the relevant directories).
+   - Mark the implementation task as `completed`.
+   - The corresponding QA task is now unblocked.
+   - Message qa-engineer: "Implementation of {story ID} is complete. You can begin testing."
+   - Update the QA task to `in_progress`.
+3. When QA completes testing a story:
+   - Ask for test results (pass/fail count).
+   - If tests fail, message the implementing teammate with the failure details.
+   - If tests pass, mark the QA task as `completed`.
+4. If a teammate has not messaged in 10 minutes, check on them:
+   > "Checking in -- how is progress on {task}? Are you blocked on anything?"
+
+### 10d: Handling Blockers
+
+If a teammate reports a blocker:
+1. Determine if it is a dependency issue (waiting on another teammate) or a technical issue.
+2. For dependency issues: message the blocking teammate and prioritize.
+3. For technical issues: provide guidance from the architecture doc or escalate to the user.
+4. If a blocker cannot be resolved, inform the user and ask for direction.
+
+Wait for ALL tasks (implementation AND QA) to complete before proceeding.
+
+---
+
+## Step 11: Verify Sprint Output
+
+Once all tasks are complete:
+
+1. **Verify code exists:** Check that new files were created in the expected directories based on story file ownership.
+2. **Verify tests exist:** Check that test files were created.
+3. **Run tests** (if possible): Execute the test runner command from config.yaml:
+   ```
+   {package_manager} run test
+   ```
+   or the equivalent command for the project's test runner. Capture the results.
+4. **Collect results from QA:** If the QA engineer reported test results via messaging, compile them.
+
+If any stories are incomplete or tests are failing, do NOT proceed. Message the relevant teammates and resolve issues first.
+
+---
+
+## Step 12: Run Review Gate (STRICT -- Human Must Review Code)
+
+This is a **STRICT** gate. Human review is NON-NEGOTIABLE for code.
+
+1. Read the review checklist at `.sniper/checklists/sprint-review.md`.
+2. For each checklist section, evaluate:
+   - **Code Quality:** Check for linting issues, type errors, hardcoded secrets, error handling.
+   - **Testing:** Verify tests exist and pass.
+   - **Acceptance Criteria:** Cross-reference each story's criteria with what was implemented.
+   - **Architecture Compliance:** Verify code follows architecture patterns.
+   - **Security:** Check for obvious security issues.
+
+3. Prepare a sprint review report:
+
+```
+============================================
+  SNIPER Sprint {sprint_number} Review
+============================================
+
+  Gate Mode: STRICT (human review required)
+
+  Stories Implemented:
+    {story ID}: {title} -- {IMPLEMENTED / PARTIAL / MISSING}
+    ...
+
+  Test Results:
+    Total: {count}
+    Passed: {count}
+    Failed: {count}
+    Skipped: {count}
+
+  Code Quality:
+    [PASS] / [ATTENTION] / [FAIL] for each checklist item
+
+  Acceptance Criteria Verification:
+    {story ID}: {X}/{Y} criteria met
+    ...
+
+  Architecture Compliance:
+    [PASS] / [ATTENTION] / [FAIL] for each checklist item
+
+  Security:
+    [PASS] / [ATTENTION] / [FAIL] for each checklist item
+
+  Files Changed:
+    {summary of new/modified files by directory}
+
+============================================
+```
+
+4. **Present to the user and WAIT for approval.**
+
+Print to the user:
+> "Sprint {sprint_number} review is complete. Please review the code changes and test results above."
+>
+> "**Your options:**"
+> 1. **Approve** -- mark sprint stories as complete
+> 2. **Request revisions** -- specify what needs to change
+> 3. **Reject** -- discard sprint output
+
+5. **WAIT for the user to respond.** Do not auto-advance.
+
+### If User Requests Revisions
+
+1. Parse feedback to determine which stories need changes.
+2. Message the relevant teammates with specific revision instructions.
+3. Wait for revisions and re-testing.
+4. Re-run the checklist and present again.
+
+### If User Approves
+
+Proceed to Step 13.
+
+### If User Rejects
+
+Print: "Sprint {sprint_number} rejected. Code remains in place but stories are not marked complete. Review and address issues manually."
+Update state and STOP.
+
+---
+
+## Step 13: Update State and Shut Down Team
+
+### Update Lifecycle State
+
+Edit `.sniper/config.yaml`:
+
+1. Update the sprint entry in `state.phase_history`:
+   - Set `completed_at: "{current ISO timestamp}"`
+   - Set `approved_by: "human"`
+
+### Mark Stories Complete
+
+For each story that was implemented and approved, add a completion marker. Either:
+- Add `> **Status:** Complete (Sprint {sprint_number})` to the top of each story file
+- Or track in a separate sprint log if preferred
+
+### Shut Down Teammates
+
+Send shutdown requests to each teammate:
+- Send shutdown_request to each spawned teammate by name
+- Wait for all to acknowledge
+
+---
+
+## Step 14: Present Results and Next Steps
+
+```
+============================================
+  SNIPER Sprint {sprint_number} Complete
+============================================
+
+  Stories Completed: {count}/{total selected}
+    {story ID}: {title}  [COMPLETE]
+    ...
+
+  Test Results: {passed}/{total} passing
+
+  Remaining Stories (not yet implemented):
+    {count} stories remaining across {count} epics
+
+  Sprint Duration: {time elapsed}
+
+============================================
+  Next Steps
+============================================
+
+  1. Review the implemented code in your editor
+  2. Run `/sniper-sprint` again to start the next sprint
+  3. Run `/sniper-status` to see overall project progress
+  4. If all stories are complete, the project is ready for release
+
+  Remaining work estimate:
+    {count} stories, approximately {count} more sprints
+
+============================================
+```
+
+---
+
+## IMPORTANT RULES
+
+- You are the LEAD. You coordinate. You do NOT write code.
+- ALWAYS let the user select which stories go into the sprint. Do not auto-select.
+- Each story is assigned to exactly ONE implementation teammate. QA tests everything.
+- QA tasks are ALWAYS blocked by their corresponding implementation tasks.
+- API contract alignment between backend and frontend is CRITICAL. Facilitate it proactively.
+- The review gate is STRICT. Do NOT auto-advance. ALWAYS wait for human review.
+- If `$ARGUMENTS` contains "dry-run", perform Steps 0-5 only (plan the sprint without spawning) and present the plan.
+- If `$ARGUMENTS` contains story IDs, use them as the sprint backlog without prompting for selection.
+- If `$ARGUMENTS` contains "skip-review", IGNORE IT. The sprint gate is strict and cannot be skipped.
+- Do NOT exceed `max_teammates` from config.yaml. Suggest splitting the sprint if too many would be needed.
+- Honor `model_override` from sprint.yaml (ai-dev uses opus, others use sonnet).
+- All file paths are relative to the project root.
+- Do NOT automatically start the next sprint -- let the user initiate it.
+- If this is not the first sprint, check previous sprint history and completed stories to avoid re-implementing.
