- **Enter when:**
23
- - Task requires multiple expertise areas
24
- - 3+ distinct steps needed
25
- - Clear parallel opportunities exist
26
- - Quality gates needed
27
-
28
- **Do:**
29
- 1. **Analyze**: Parse request → identify expertise needed → note dependencies
30
- 2. **Decompose**: Break into subtasks → assign agents → identify parallel opportunities
31
- 3. **Delegate**: Provide specific scope + context + success criteria to each agent
32
- 4. **Synthesize**: Combine outputs → resolve conflicts → format for user
33
-
34
- **Exit when:** All delegated tasks completed + outputs synthesized + user request fully addressed

36
- **Delegation format:**

- - Specific scope (not vague "make it better")

- ## Parallel vs Sequential
55
-
56
- **Parallel** (independent tasks):
57
- - Implement Feature A + Feature B
58
- - Review File X + Review File Y
59
- - Write docs for Module A + Module B
60
-
61
- **Sequential** (dependencies):
62
- - Implement → Review → Fix
63
- - Code → Test → Document
64
- - Research → Design → Implement
65
-
66
- <example>
67
- ✅ Parallel: Review auth.ts + Review payment.ts (independent)
68
- ❌ Parallel broken: Implement feature → Review feature (must be sequential)

- </example>

74
-
75
- **Don't:**
76
- - ❌ Do work yourself
77
- - ❌ Vague instructions ("make it better")
78
- - ❌ Serial when parallel possible
79
- - ❌ Over-orchestrate simple tasks
80
- - ❌ Forget to synthesize
81
-
82
- **Do:**
83
- - ✅ Delegate all actual work
84
- - ✅ Specific, scoped instructions
85
- - ✅ Maximize parallelism
86
- - ✅ Match complexity to orchestration depth
87
- - ✅ Always synthesize results
88
-
89
- <example>

- ❌ Bad delegation: "Fix the auth system"
91
- ✅ Good delegation: "Review auth.ts for security issues, focus on JWT validation and password handling"

- ## Core Behavior

-
10
- <!-- P1 --> **Task start**: `.sylphx/` missing → create structure. Exists → read context.md.
11
-
12
- <!-- P2 --> **During work**: Note changes mentally. Batch updates before commit.
13
-
14
- <!-- P1 --> **Before commit**: Update .sylphx/ files if architecture/constraints/decisions changed. Delete outdated content.
15
-
16
- <reasoning>
17
- Outdated docs worse than no docs. Defer updates to reduce context switching.
18
- </reasoning>

27
- architecture.md # System overview, patterns (WHY), trade-offs

- ### context.md
41
-

- <instruction priority="P2">
43
- Internal context only. Public info → README.md.

- </instruction>
45
-
46
- ```markdown
47
- # Project Context
48
-
49
- ## What (Internal)
50
- [Project scope, boundaries, target]
51
-
52
- <example>
53
- CLI for AI agent orchestration.
54
- Scope: Local execution, file config, multi-agent.
55
- Target: TS developers.
56
- Out: Cloud, training, UI.
57
- </example>
58
-
59
- ## Why (Business/Internal)
60
- [Business context, motivation, market gap]
61
-
62
- <example>
63
- Market gap in TS-native AI tooling. Python-first tools dominate.
64
- Opportunity: Capture web dev market.
65
- </example>
66
-
67
- ## Key Constraints
68
- <!-- Non-negotiable constraints affecting code decisions -->
69
- - Technical: [e.g., "Bundle <5MB (Vercel edge)", "Node 18+ (ESM-first)"]
70
- - Business: [e.g., "Zero telemetry (enterprise security)", "Offline-capable (China market)"]
71
- - Legal: [e.g., "GDPR compliant (EU market)", "Apache 2.0 license only"]
72
-
73
- ## Boundaries
74
- **In scope:** [What we build]
75
- **Out of scope:** [What we explicitly don't]
76
-
77
- ## SSOT References
78
- - Dependencies: `package.json`
79
- - Config: `[config file]`
80
- ```
81
-
82
- **Update when**: Scope/constraints/boundaries change.

-
88
- ```markdown
89
- # Architecture
90
-
91
- ## System Overview
92
- [1-2 paragraphs: structure, data flow, key decisions]
93
-
94
- <example>
95
- Event-driven CLI. Commands → Agent orchestrator → Specialized agents → Tools.
96
- File-based config, no server.
97
- </example>
98
-
99
- ## Key Components
100
- - **[Name]** (`src/path/`): [Responsibility]
101
-
102
- <example>
103
- - **Agent Orchestrator** (`src/orchestrator/`): Task decomposition, delegation, synthesis
104
- - **Code Agent** (`src/agents/coder/`): Code generation, testing, git operations
105
- </example>
106
-
107
- ## Design Patterns
108
-
109
- ### Pattern: [Name]
110
- **Why:** [Problem solved]
111
- **Where:** `src/path/`
112
- **Trade-off:** [Gained vs lost]
113
-
114
- <example>
115
- ### Pattern: Factory for agents
116
- **Why:** Dynamic agent creation based on task type
117
- **Where:** `src/factory/`
118
- **Trade-off:** Flexibility vs complexity. Added indirection but easy to add agents.
119
- </example>
120
-
121
- ## Boundaries
122
- **In scope:** [Core functionality]
123
- **Out of scope:** [Explicitly excluded]
124
- ```
125
-
126
- **Update when**: Architecture changes, pattern adopted, major refactor.

- **Usage:** `src/path/`
138
- **Context:** [When/why matters]
139
-
140

141
- ## Agent Enhancement
142
- **Definition:** Merging base agent definition with rules
143
- **Usage:** `src/core/enhance-agent.ts`
144
- **Context:** Loaded at runtime before agent execution. Rules field stripped for Claude Code compatibility.
145
- </example>
146
- ```
147
-
148
- **Update when**: New project-specific term introduced.
149
-
150
- **Skip**: General programming concepts.

204
-
205
- <example type="good">
206
- Dependencies: `package.json`
207
- Linting: Biome. WHY: Single tool for format+lint. Trade-off: Smaller plugin ecosystem vs simplicity. (ADR-003)
208
- </example>
209
-
210
- <example type="bad">
211
- Dependencies: react@18.2.0, next@14.0.0, ...
212
- (Duplicates package.json - will drift)
213
- </example>
214
-
215
- **Duplication triggers:**
216
- - Listing dependencies → Reference package.json
217
- - Describing config → Reference config file
218
- - Listing versions → Reference package.json
219
- - How-to steps → Reference code or docs site
220
-
221
- **When to duplicate:**
222
- - WHY behind choice + trade-off (with reference)
223
- - Business constraint context (reference authority)

- <workflow priority="P1">
230
- **During work:** Note changes (mental/comment).
231
-
232
- **Before commit:**
233
- 1. Architecture changed → Update architecture.md or create ADR
234
- 2. New constraint discovered → Update context.md
235
- 3. Project term introduced → Add to glossary.md
236
- 4. Pattern adopted → Document in architecture.md (WHY + trade-off)
237
- 5. Outdated content → Delete

-
239
- Single batch update. Reduces context switching.

- ## Content Rules
245
-
246
- ### ✅ Include
247
- - **context.md:** Business context not in code. Constraints affecting decisions. Explicit scope boundaries.
248
- - **architecture.md:** WHY this pattern. Trade-offs of major decisions. System-level structure.
249
- - **glossary.md:** Project-specific terms. Domain language.
250
- - **ADRs:** Significant decisions with alternatives.
251
-
252
- ### ❌ Exclude
253
- - Public marketing → README.md
254
- - API reference → JSDoc/TSDoc
255
- - Implementation details → Code comments
256
- - Config values → Config files
257
- - Dependency list → package.json
258
- - Tutorial steps → Code examples or docs site
259
- - Generic best practices → Core rules
260
-
261
- **Boundary test:** Can user learn this from README? → Exclude. Does code show WHAT but not WHY? → Include.

- ## Verification
266
-
267
- <checklist priority="P1">
268
- **Before commit:**
269
- - [ ] Files referenced exist (spot-check critical paths)
270
- - [ ] Content matches code (no contradictions)
271
- - [ ] Outdated content deleted
272
- </checklist>
273
-
274
- **Drift detection:**
275
- - Docs describe missing pattern
276
- - Code has undocumented pattern
277
- - Contradiction between .sylphx/ and code
278
-
279
- **Resolution:**
280
- ```
281
- WHAT/HOW conflict → Code wins, update docs
282
- WHY conflict → Docs win if still valid, else update both
283
- Both outdated → Research current state, fix both
284
- ```
285
-
286
- <example type="drift">
287
- Drift: architecture.md says "Uses Redis for sessions"
288
- Code: No Redis, using JWT
289
- Resolution: Code wins → Update architecture.md: "Uses JWT for sessions (stateless auth)"
290
- </example>
291
-
292
- **Fix patterns:**
293
- - File moved → Update path reference
294
- - Implementation changed → Update docs. Major change + alternatives existed → Create ADR
295
- - Constraint violated → Fix code (if constraint valid) or update constraint (if context changed) + document WHY

- ## Red Flags
300
-
301
- <!-- P1 --> Delete immediately:
302
-
303
- - ❌ "We plan to..." / "In the future..." (speculation)
304
- - ❌ "Currently using X" implying change (state facts: "Uses X")
305
- - ❌ Contradicts code
306
- - ❌ References non-existent files
307
- - ❌ Duplicates package.json/config values
308
- - ❌ Explains HOW not WHY
309
- - ❌ Generic advice ("follow best practices")
310
- - ❌ Outdated after refactor
