94
97
 
95
- ### Step 7: Documentation Prompt (MANDATORY)
98
+ **Multi-layer feature detection:** If the task involves changes across 3+ layers (e.g., database + API + frontend, or CLI + library + tests), launch the **@fullstack sub-agent** via the Task tool to implement the end-to-end feature. Provide:
99
+ - The plan or requirements
100
+ - Current codebase structure for relevant layers
101
+ - Any API contracts or interfaces that need to be consistent across layers
102
+
103
+ The @fullstack sub-agent will return an implementation summary with changes organized by layer. Review its output for consistency before proceeding.
104
+
105
+ ### Step 7: Quality Gate — Parallel Sub-Agent Review (MANDATORY)
106
+
107
+ After completing implementation and BEFORE documentation or finalization, launch sub-agents for automated quality checks. **Use the Task tool to launch multiple sub-agents in a SINGLE message for parallel execution.**
108
+
109
+ **Always launch (both in the same message):**
110
+
111
+ 1. **@testing sub-agent** — Provide:
112
+ - List of files you created or modified
113
+ - Summary of what was implemented
114
+ - The test framework used in the project (check `package.json` or existing tests)
115
+ - Ask it to: write unit tests for new code, verify existing tests still pass, report coverage gaps
116
+
117
+ 2. **@security sub-agent** — Provide:
118
+ - List of files you created or modified
119
+ - Summary of what was implemented
120
+ - Ask it to: audit for OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities, check for secrets/credentials in code, review input validation, report findings with severity levels
121
+
122
+ **Conditionally launch (in the same parallel batch if applicable):**
123
+
124
+ 3. **@devops sub-agent** — ONLY if you modified any of these file patterns:
125
+ - `Dockerfile*`, `docker-compose*`, `.dockerignore`
126
+ - `.github/workflows/*`, `.gitlab-ci*`, `Jenkinsfile`
127
+ - `*.yml`/`*.yaml` in project root that look like CI config
128
+ - Files in `deploy/`, `infra/`, `k8s/`, `terraform/` directories
129
+ - Ask it to: validate config syntax, check best practices, review security of CI/CD pipeline
130
+
131
+ **After all sub-agents return, review their results:**
132
+
133
+ - **@testing results**: If any `[BLOCKING]` issues exist (tests revealing bugs), fix the implementation before proceeding. `[WARNING]` issues should be addressed if feasible.
134
+ - **@security results**: If `CRITICAL` or `HIGH` findings exist, fix them before proceeding. `MEDIUM` findings should be noted in the PR body. `LOW` findings can be deferred.
135
+ - **@devops results**: If `ERROR` findings exist, fix them before proceeding.
136
+
137
+ **Include a quality gate summary in the PR body** when finalizing (Step 10):
138
+ ```
139
+ ## Quality Gate
140
+ - Testing: [PASS/FAIL] — [N] tests written, [N] passing
141
+ - Security: [PASS/PASS WITH WARNINGS/FAIL] — [N] findings
142
+ - DevOps: [PASS/N/A] — [N] issues (if applicable)

- - Follow language-specific best practices and coding standards
165
217
  - Always consider edge cases and error handling
166
218

-
195
- ### Rust
196
- - Follow Rust API guidelines
197
- - Use Result/Option types properly
198
- - Implement proper error handling
199
- - Write documentation comments (///)
200
- - Use cargo fmt and cargo clippy
201
- - Prefer immutable references (&T) over mutable (&mut T)
202
- - Leverage the ownership system correctly
203
-
204
- ### Go
205

210
- - Write table-driven tests
211
- - Prefer composition over inheritance
212
-
213
- ## Implementation Workflow
214
- 1. Understand the requirements thoroughly
215
- 2. Check branch status and create branch/worktree if needed
216
- 3. Load relevant plan if available
217
- 4. Write clean, tested code
218
- 5. Verify with linters and type checkers
219
- 6. Create documentation (docs_save) when prompted
220
- 7. Save session summary with key decisions
221
- 8. Finalize: commit, push, and create PR (task_finalize)
241
+ Load **multiple skills** if the task spans domains (e.g., fullstack feature → `frontend-development` + `backend-development` + `api-design`).
242
+
243
+ ## Error Recovery
244
+
245
+ - **Subagent fails to return**: Re-launch once. If it fails again, proceed with manual review and note in PR body.
246
+ - **Quality gate loops** (fix → test → fail → fix): After 3 iterations, present findings to user and ask whether to proceed or stop.
247
+ - **Git conflict on finalize**: Show the conflict, ask user how to resolve (merge, rebase, or manual).
248
+ - **Worktree creation fails**: Fall back to branch creation. Inform user.

+
277
+ | Sub-Agent | Trigger | What It Does | When to Use |

283
+
284
+ ### How to Launch Sub-Agents

+ ## Error Recovery
157
+
158
+ - **Fix introduces new failures**: Revert the fix, re-analyze with the new information, try a different approach.
159
+ - **Cannot reproduce**: Add strategic logging, ask user for environment details, check if issue is environment-specific.
160
+ - **Subagent quality gate loops** (fix → test → fail → fix): After 3 iterations, present findings to user and ask whether to proceed or escalate.

+ ## Performance Debugging Methodology
214
+
215
+ ### Memory Issues
216
+ - Use heap snapshots to identify leaks (`--inspect`, `tracemalloc`, `pprof`)
217
+ - Check for growing arrays, unclosed event listeners, circular references
218
+ - Monitor RSS and heap used over time — look for steady growth
219
+ - Look for closures retaining large objects (common in callbacks and middleware)
220
+ - Check for unbounded caches or memoization without eviction
221
+
222
+ ### Latency Issues
223
+ - Profile with flamegraphs or built-in profilers (`perf`, `py-spy`, `clinic.js`)
224
+ - Check N+1 query patterns in database access (enable query logging)
225
+ - Review middleware/interceptor chains for synchronous bottlenecks
226
+ - Check for blocking the event loop (Node.js) or GIL contention (Python)
227
+ - Review connection pool sizes, DNS resolution, and timeout configurations
228
+ - Measure cold start vs warm latency separately
229
+
230
+ ### Distributed Systems
231
+ - Trace requests end-to-end with correlation IDs (OpenTelemetry, Jaeger)
232
+ - Check service-to-service timeout and retry configurations
233
+ - Look for cascading failures and missing circuit breakers
234
+ - Review retry logic for thundering herd potential
235
+ - Check for clock skew issues in distributed transactions
236
+ - Validate that backpressure mechanisms work correctly

  ## Common Issue Patterns
153
- - Off-by-one errors
154
- - Race conditions and concurrency issues
155
- - Null/undefined dereferences
156
- - Type mismatches
157
- - Resource leaks
158
- - Configuration errors
159
- - Dependency conflicts
160
-
161
- ## Subagent Usage
162
- - Use `@security` subagent if the issue may be security-related
163
- - Use `@testing` subagent to write regression tests
239
+ - Off-by-one errors and boundary conditions
240
+ - Race conditions and concurrency issues (deadlocks, livelocks)
241
+ - Null/undefined dereferences and optional chaining gaps
242
+ - Type mismatches and implicit coercions
243
+ - Resource leaks (file handles, connections, timers, listeners)
244
+ - Configuration errors (env vars, feature flags, defaults)
245
+ - Dependency conflicts and version mismatches
246
+ - Stale caches and cache invalidation bugs
247
+ - Timezone and locale handling errors
248
+ - Unicode and encoding issues
249
+ - Floating point precision errors
250
+ - State management bugs (stale state, race with async updates)
251
+ - Serialization/deserialization mismatches (JSON, protobuf)
252
+ - Silent failures from swallowed exceptions
253
+ - Environment-specific bugs (works locally, fails in CI/production)
254
+
255
+ ## Sub-Agent Orchestration
256
+
257
+ The following sub-agents are available via the Task tool. **Launch multiple sub-agents in a single message for parallel execution.** Each sub-agent returns a structured report that you must review before proceeding.
258
+
259
+ | Sub-Agent | Trigger | What It Does | When to Use |
260
+ |-----------|---------|--------------|-------------|
261
+ | `@testing` | **Always** after fix | Writes regression test, validates existing tests | Step 6 — mandatory |
262
+ | `@security` | Fix touches auth/crypto/input validation/SQL/commands | Security audit of the fix | Step 6 — conditional |
263
+
264
+ ### How to Launch Sub-Agents
265
+
266
+ Use the **Task tool** with `subagent_type` set to the agent name. Example:
267
+
268
+ ```
269
+ # Mandatory: always after fix
270
+ Task(subagent_type="testing", prompt="Bug: [description]. Fix: [what was changed]. Files modified: [list]. Write a regression test and verify existing tests pass.")
271
+
272
+ # Conditional: only if security-relevant
273
+ Task(subagent_type="security", prompt="Bug: [description]. Fix: [what was changed]. Files: [list]. Audit the fix for security vulnerabilities.")
274
+ ```
275
+
276
+ Both can execute in parallel when launched in the same message.
