7
+ <objective>
8
+ Execute systematic implementation workflows using the APEX methodology. This skill uses progressive step loading to minimize context usage and supports saving outputs for review and resumption.
9
+ </objective>
10
+
11
+ <quick_start>
12
+ **Basic usage:**
13
+
14
+ ```bash
15
+ /apex add authentication middleware
16
+ ```
17
+
18
+ **Recommended workflow (autonomous with save):**
19
+
20
+ ```bash
21
+ /apex -a -s implement user registration
22
+ ```
23
+
24
+ **Flags:**
25
+
26
+ - `-a` (auto): Skip confirmations
27
+ - `-s` (save): Save outputs to `.claude/output/apex/`
28
+ - `-e` (economy): No subagents, save tokens
29
+
30
+ See `<parameters>` for complete flag list.
31
+ </quick_start>
32
+
33
+ <parameters>
34
+
35
+ <flags>
36
+ **Enable flags (turn ON):**
37
+ | Short | Long | Description |
38
+ |-------|------|-------------|
39
+ | `-a` | `--auto` | Autonomous mode: skip confirmations, auto-approve plans |
40
+ | `-s` | `--save` | Save mode: output each step to `.claude/output/apex/` |
41
+ | `-e` | `--economy` | Economy mode: no subagents, save tokens (for limited plans) |
42
+ | `-r` | `--resume` | Resume mode: continue from a previous task |
43
+ | `-b` | `--branch` | Branch mode: verify not on main, create branch if needed |
44
+ | `-i` | `--interactive` | Interactive mode: configure flags via AskUserQuestion |
45
+
46
+ **Disable flags (turn OFF):**
47
+ | Short | Long | Description |
48
+ |-------|------|-------------|
49
+ | `-A` | `--no-auto` | Disable auto mode |
50
+ | `-S` | `--no-save` | Disable save mode |
51
+ | `-E` | `--no-economy` | Disable economy mode |
52
+ | `-B` | `--no-branch` | Disable branch mode |
53
+ </flags>
54
+
55
+ <examples>
56
+ ```bash
57
+ # Basic
58
+ /apex add auth middleware
59
+
60
+ # Autonomous (skip confirmations)
61
+ /apex -a add auth middleware
62
+
63
+ # Save outputs
64
+ /apex -a -s add auth middleware
65
+
66
+ # Resume previous task
67
+ /apex -r 01-auth-middleware
68
+ /apex -r 01 # Partial match
69
+
70
+ # Economy mode (save tokens)
71
+ /apex -e add auth middleware
72
+
73
+ # Interactive flag config
74
+ /apex -i add auth middleware
75
+
76
+ # Disable flags (uppercase)
77
+ /apex -A add auth middleware # Disable auto
78
+ ```
79
+ </examples>
80
+
81
+ <parsing_rules>
82
+ **Flag parsing:**
83
+
84
+ 1. Defaults loaded from `steps/step-00-init.md` `<defaults>` section
85
+ 2. Command-line flags override defaults (enable with lowercase `-x`, disable with uppercase `-X`)
86
+ 3. Flags removed from input, remainder becomes `{task_description}`
87
+ 4. Task ID generated as `NN-kebab-case-description`
88
+
89
+ For detailed parsing algorithm, see `steps/step-00-init.md`.
90
+ </parsing_rules>
91

+ </parameters>
93
+
94
+ <output_structure>
95
+ **When `{save_mode}` = true:**
96

97
+ All outputs saved to PROJECT directory (where Claude Code is running):
98
+ ```

131
+
132
+ When provided, step-00 will:
133
+
134
+ 1. Locate the task folder in `.claude/output/apex/`
135
+ 2. Restore state from `00-context.md`
136
+ 3. Find the last completed step
137
+ 4. Continue from the next step
138
+
139
+ Supports partial matching (e.g., `-r 01` finds `01-add-auth-middleware`).
140
+
141
+ For implementation details, see `steps/step-00-init.md`.
142
+ </resume_workflow>
143
+
144
+ <workflow>
145
+ **Standard flow:**
146
+ 1. Parse flags and task description
147
+ 2. If `-r`: Execute resume workflow
148
+ 3. If `-s`: Create output folder and 00-context.md
149
+ 4. Load step-01-analyze.md → gather context
150
+ 5. Load step-02-plan.md → create strategy
151
+ 6. Load step-03-execute.md → implement
152

+ | `{task_description}` | string | What to implement (flags removed) |
161
+ | `{feature_name}` | string | Kebab-case name without number (e.g., `add-auth-middleware`) |
162
+ | `{task_id}` | string | Full identifier with number (e.g., `01-add-auth-middleware`) |
163
+ | `{acceptance_criteria}` | list | Success criteria (inferred or explicit) |
164
+ | `{auto_mode}` | boolean | Skip confirmations, use recommended options |
165
+ | `{save_mode}` | boolean | Save outputs to .claude/output/apex/ |
166
+ | `{economy_mode}` | boolean | No subagents, direct tool usage only |
167
+ | `{branch_mode}` | boolean | Verify not on main, create branch if needed |
168
+ | `{interactive_mode}` | boolean | Configure flags interactively |
169
+ | `{resume_task}` | string | Task ID to resume (if -r provided) |
170
+ | `{output_dir}` | string | Full path to output directory |
171
+ | `{branch_name}` | string | Created branch name (if branch_mode) |

175
+ <entry_point>
176
+
177
+ **FIRST ACTION:** Load `steps/step-00-init.md`
178
+
179
+ Step 00 handles:
180
+
181
+ - Flag parsing (-a, -x, -s, -r, --test)
182
+ - Resume mode detection and task lookup
183
+ - Output folder creation (if save_mode)
184
+ - 00-context.md creation (if save_mode)
185
+ - State variable initialization
186
+
187
+ After initialization, step-00 loads step-01-analyze.md.
188

+ </entry_point>
190
+
191
+ <step_files>
192
+ **Progressive loading - only load current step:**
193
+
194
+ | Step | File | Purpose |
195
+ | ---- | ---------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- |
196
+ | 00 | `steps/step-00-init.md` | Parse flags, create output folder, initialize state |
197
+ | 01 | `steps/step-01-analyze.md` | Smart context gathering with 1-10 parallel agents based on complexity |
198
+ | 02 | `steps/step-02-plan.md` | File-by-file implementation strategy |
199
+ | 03 | `steps/step-03-execute.md` | Todo-driven implementation |
200
+ | 04 | `steps/step-04-validate.md` | Self-check, validation, and workflow completion |
201
+
202
+ </step_files>
203
+
204
+ <execution_rules>
205
+
206
+ - **Load one step at a time** - Only load the current step file
207
+ - **ULTRA THINK** before major decisions
208
+ - **Persist state variables** across all steps
209
+ - **Follow next_step directive** at end of each step
210
+ - **Save outputs** if `{save_mode}` = true (append to step file)
211
+ - **Use parallel agents** for independent exploration tasks
212
+
213
+ ## 🧠 Smart Agent Strategy in Analyze Phase
214
+
215
+ The analyze phase (step-01) uses **adaptive agent launching** (unless economy_mode):
216
+
217
+ **Available agents:**
218
+ - `explore-codebase` - Find existing patterns, files, utilities
219
+ - `explore-docs` - Research library docs (use when unfamiliar with API)
220
+ - `websearch` - Find approaches, best practices, gotchas
221
+
222
+ **Launch 1-10 agents based on task complexity:**
223
+
224
+ | Complexity | Agents | When |
225
+ |------------|--------|------|
226
+ | Simple | 1-2 | Bug fix, small tweak |
227
+ | Medium | 2-4 | New feature in familiar stack |
228
+ | Complex | 4-7 | Unfamiliar libraries, integrations |
229
+ | Major | 6-10 | Multiple systems, many unknowns |
230
+
231
+ **BE SMART:** Analyze what you actually need before launching. Don't over-launch for simple tasks, don't under-launch for complex ones.
232
+
233
+ </execution_rules>
234
+
235
+ <save_output_pattern>
236
+ **When `{save_mode}` = true:**
237
+
238
+ Step-00 runs `scripts/setup-templates.sh` to initialize all output files from `templates/` directory.
239
+
240
+ **Each step then:**
241
+
242
+ 1. Run `scripts/update-progress.sh {task_id} {step_num} {step_name} "in_progress"`
243
+ 2. Append findings/outputs to the pre-created step file
244
+ 3. Run `scripts/update-progress.sh {task_id} {step_num} {step_name} "complete"`
245
+
246
+ **Template system benefits:**
247
+
248
+ - Reduces token usage by ~75% (1,350 tokens saved per workflow)
249
+ - Templates in `templates/` directory (not inline in steps)
250
+ - Scripts handle progress tracking automatically
251
+ - See `templates/README.md` for details
252
+
253
+ </save_output_pattern>
254
+
255
+ <success_criteria>
256
+
257
+ - Each step loaded progressively
258
+ - All validation checks passing
259
+ - Outputs saved if `{save_mode}` enabled
260
+ - Clear completion summary provided
261

7
+ # Step 0: Initialization
8
+
9
+ ## MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES (READ FIRST):
10
+
11
+ - 🛑 NEVER skip flag parsing
12
+ - 🛑 ONLY check for existing workflow if resume_task is set
13
+ - ✅ ALWAYS parse ALL flags before any other action
14
+ - ✅ ONLY check for resume if {resume_task} is set
15
+ - 📋 YOU ARE AN INITIALIZER, not an executor
16
+ - 💬 FOCUS on setup only - don't look ahead to implementation
17
+ - 🚫 FORBIDDEN to load step-01 until init is complete
18
+
19
+ ## EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:
20
+
21
+ - 🎯 Parse flags first, then check resume, then setup
22
+ - 💾 Create output structure if save_mode enabled
23
+ - 📖 Initialize all state variables before proceeding
24
+ - 🚫 FORBIDDEN to start analysis (that's step-01's job)
25
+ - ✅ ALWAYS show COMPACT summary (one table) and proceed immediately
26
+ - 🚫 FORBIDDEN to show verbose parsing logs or explanations
27
+
28
+ ## CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:
29
+
30
+ - This is the FIRST step - no previous context exists
31
+ - User input contains flags and task description
32
+ - Output folder may or may not exist
33
+ - Don't assume anything about the codebase yet
34
+
35
+ ## YOUR TASK:
36
+
37
+ Initialize the APEX workflow by parsing flags, detecting continuation state, and setting up the execution environment.

42
+ ## Default Configuration
43
+
44
+ **Edit these values to change default behavior. Flags always override defaults.**
45
+
46
+ ```yaml
47
+ # ===========================================
48
+ # APEX DEFAULT SETTINGS
49
+ # ===========================================
50
+
51
+ auto_mode: false # -a: Skip confirmations, use recommended options
52
+ save_mode: false # -s: Save outputs to .claude/output/apex/
53
+ economy_mode: false # -e: No subagents, save tokens (for limited plans)
54
+ branch_mode: false # -b: Verify not on main, create branch if needed
55
+ interactive_mode: false # -i: Configure flags interactively
56
+
57
+ # Presets:
58
+ # Budget-friendly: economy_mode: true
59
+ # Full quality: save_mode: true
60
+ # Autonomous: auto_mode: true, save_mode: true
61
+ ```
62
+
63
+ **Flag Reference:** See `SKILL.md` for complete flag documentation and examples.

+
69
+ ## EXECUTION SEQUENCE:
70
+
71
+ ### 1. Parse Flags and Input
72
+
73
+ **Step 1: Load defaults from config above**
74
+
75
+ ```
76
+ {auto_mode} = <default>
77
+ {save_mode} = <default>
78
+ {economy_mode} = <default>
79
+ {branch_mode} = <default>
80
+ {interactive_mode} = <default>
81
+ ```
82
+
83
+ **Step 2: Parse user input and override defaults:**
84
+
85
+ ```
86
+ Enable flags (lowercase - turn ON):
87
+ -a or --auto → {auto_mode} = true
88
+ -s or --save → {save_mode} = true
89
+ -e or --economy → {economy_mode} = true
90
+ -b or --branch → {branch_mode} = true
91
+
92
+ Disable flags (UPPERCASE - turn OFF):
93
+ -A or --no-auto → {auto_mode} = false
94
+ -S or --no-save → {save_mode} = false
95
+ -E or --no-economy → {economy_mode} = false
96
+ -B or --no-branch → {branch_mode} = false
97
+
98
+ Interactive:
99
+ -i or --interactive → {interactive_mode} = true
100
+
101
+ Other:
102
+ -r or --resume → {resume_task} = <next argument>
103
+ Remainder → {task_description}
104
+ ```
105
+
106
+ **Step 3: Generate feature_name and task_id:**
107
+
108
+ ```
109
+ {feature_name} = kebab-case-description (without number prefix)
110
+
111
+ Example: "add user authentication" → "add-user-authentication"
112
+
113
+ {task_id} will be generated by the setup script:
114
+ - Script auto-detects next available number in .claude/output/apex/
115
+ - Result: "01-add-user-authentication" (or 02, 03, etc.)
116
+ ```
117
+
118
+ ### 2. Check Resume Mode
119
+
120
+ <critical>
121
+ ONLY execute this section if {resume_task} is set!
122
+ If {resume_task} is NOT set, skip directly to step 3.
123
+ </critical>
124
+
125
+ **If `{resume_task}` is set:**
126
+
127
+ 1. **Search for matching task:**
128
+
129
+ ```bash
130
+ ls .claude/output/apex/ | grep "^{resume_task}"
131
+ ```
132
+
133
+ 2. **If exact match found:**
134
+ - Read `00-context.md` to restore state variables
135
+ - Scan step files to find last completed step (check for completion marker)
136
+ - Load next incomplete step
137
+ - **STOP** - do not continue with fresh init
138
+
139
+ 3. **If partial match (e.g., `-r 01`):**
140
+ - If single match: use it
141
+ - If multiple matches: list them and ask user to specify
142
+
143
+ 4. **If no match found:**
144
+ - List available tasks
145
+ - Ask user to provide correct ID
146
+
147
+ **If {resume_task} is NOT set:** → Skip directly to step 3
148
+
149
+ ### 3. Run Optional Sub-Steps
150
+
151
+ **Load sub-steps in order (if flags enabled):**
152
+
153
+ ```
154
+ IF {interactive_mode} = true:
155
+ → Load steps/step-00b-interactive.md
156
+ → User configures flags interactively
157
+ → Return here with updated flags
158
+
159
+ IF {branch_mode} = true:
160
+ → Load steps/step-00b-branch.md
161
+ → Verify/create branch
162
+ → Return here with {branch_name} set
163
+
164
+ IF {economy_mode} = true:
165
+ → Load steps/step-00b-economy.md
166
+ → Apply economy overrides
167
+ ```
168
+
169
+ ### 4. Create Output Structure (if save_mode)
170
+
171
+ **If `{save_mode}` = true:**
172
+
173
+ Run the template setup script to initialize all output files:
174
+
175
+ ```bash
176
+ bash {skill_dir}/scripts/setup-templates.sh \
177
+ "{feature_name}" \
178
+ "{task_description}" \
179
+ "{auto_mode}" \
180
+ "{save_mode}" \
181
+ "{economy_mode}" \
182
+ "{branch_mode}" \
183
+ "{interactive_mode}" \
184
+ "{branch_name}" \
185
+ "{original_input}"
186
+ ```
187
+
188
+ **Note:** Pass `{feature_name}` (without number prefix), NOT `{task_id}`.
189
+ The script auto-detects the next available number from existing folders.
190
+
191
+ This script:
192
+
193
+ - Auto-generates `{task_id}` = `NN-{feature_name}` (next available number)
194
+ - Creates `.claude/output/apex/{task_id}/` directory
195
+ - Initializes `00-context.md` with configuration and progress table
196
+ - Pre-creates all step files from templates (01-analyze.md, 02-plan.md, etc.)
197
+ - Outputs the generated `{task_id}` for use in subsequent steps
198
+
199
+ ### 5. Initialize and Proceed
200
+
201
+ **Always (regardless of auto_mode):**
202
+
203
+ Show COMPACT initialization summary (one table, then proceed immediately):
204
+
205
+ ```
206
+ ✓ APEX: {task_description}
207
+
208
+ | Variable | Value |
209
+ |----------|-------|
210
+ | `{task_id}` | 01-kebab-name |
211
+ | `{auto_mode}` | true/false |
212
+ | `{save_mode}` | true/false |
213
+ | `{economy_mode}` | true/false |
214
+ | `{branch_mode}` | true/false |
215
+
216
+ → Analyzing...
217
+ ```
218
+
219
+ <critical>
220
+ KEEP OUTPUT MINIMAL:
221
+ - One line header with task
222
+ - One table with ALL variables (use brackets to show they're available)
223
+ - One line "→ Analyzing..." then IMMEDIATELY load step-01
224
+ - NO verbose explanations, NO parsing logs, NO separators
225
+ </critical>
226
+
227
+ **Then proceed directly to step-01-analyze.md**
228
+
229
+ ---
230
+
231
+ ## SUCCESS METRICS:
232
+
233
+ ✅ All flags correctly parsed (enable AND disable)
234
+ ✅ Output is COMPACT (one table, no verbose logs)
235
+ ✅ Variables shown with `{brackets}` notation
236
+ ✅ Proceeded to step-01 immediately after table
237
+ ✅ Output folder created with 00-context.md (if save_mode)
238
+
239
+ ## FAILURE MODES:
240
+
241
+ ❌ Verbose output with separators and explanations
242
+ ❌ Showing parsing steps/logs to user
243
+ ❌ Not using `{variable}` bracket notation
244
+ ❌ Not proceeding immediately after summary
245
+ ❌ **CRITICAL**: Blocking workflow with unnecessary confirmations
246
+
247
+ ## INITIALIZATION PROTOCOLS:
248
+
249
+ - Parse ALL flags before any other action
250
+ - Check resume BEFORE creating new output folder
251
+ - Verify branch BEFORE creating output structure (if branch_mode)
252
+ - Create output structure BEFORE confirming start
253
+ - Load economy overrides BEFORE proceeding to step-01
254
+
255
+ ---
256
+
257
+ ## NEXT STEP:
258
+
259
+ After showing initialization summary, always proceed directly to `./step-01-analyze.md`
260
+
261
+ <critical>
262
+ Remember:
263
+ - Step-00 is an INITIALIZER, not a GATEKEEPER
264
+ - Output MUST be compact: one table, no verbose logs
265
+ - Use `{variable}` notation to show available state
266
+ - Proceed immediately - never block!
267
+ </critical>
