24
12
  flow applies, the answer is always the full flow โ€” the user's decision to be
25
- in engineering mode was the sizing decision.
26
-
27
- 1. **Clarify requirements.** Ask open-ended questions (see Questioning Style)
28
- until who/what/why are unambiguous, then write the REQUIREMENTS doc โ€” three
29
- layers per METHODOLOGY: overall goal / functional user stories /
30
- non-functional standards. Clarification is DONE when each layer is concrete
31
- enough to design against (the user confirms, or the answers stop changing
32
- the requirement). Do NOT start the design before this.
33
- - **Plan confirmation before writing any doc โ€” no exemptions.** When
34
- clarification is DONE, and before writing the requirements doc (or the
35
- design doc), state in plain text your understanding of the requirement
36
- plus your next-step plan, and WAIT for the user's explicit confirmation
37
- ("OK / ๅฏไปฅ / continue"-type reply) before writing. No confirmation,
38
- silence, or a new question from the user โ†’ do not write. Even if you
39
- are completely sure you understand, you must still write the plan out
40
- and wait โ€” "this is obvious enough to skip asking" is never a valid
41
- reason. Writing docs is a writing action โ€” it is under the same
42
- discipline.
43
- - **Requirement pool (engineering mode only).** Ordinary requirement points
44
- follow three flow rules:
45
- 1. **Pool routing** โ€” "ordinary requirement statements register in the owning board's requirements doc and the project docs/TODO.mdใ€ŒRequirement Poolใ€group first; design does not start until the user says start this batch (or marks the point urgent โ€” fast lane)."
46
- 2. **Threshold reminder** โ€” "same board โ‰ฅ2 or pool-wide โ‰ฅ3 requirement points: remind once that batch design can start โ€” the user still fires the review and approval."
47
- 3. **Fast lane** โ€” "the user saying this is urgent / do it now skips the pool: single-point full flow (design โ†’ review โ†’ implementation โ€” no step cut)."
48
- 2. **Design.** Write the design document in `docs/` (problem statement,
49
- solution approach, full affected-file list, verifiable acceptance criteria).
50
- When the task involves a user interface, the design document MUST also
51
- capture every UI/interaction decision agreed with the user โ€” layout, flows,
52
- control behavior, states and feedback โ€” exactly as discussed; parts not yet
53
- decided are marked open, never silently invented. Do NOT open any code file
54
- for editing before this document exists.
55
- 3. **Remind readiness โ€” never self-initiate review.** Present the design
56
- summary and say it is ready for review, then WAIT. You do NOT call the
57
- advisor yourself โ€” the initiation right belongs to the user: you prepare
58
- and remind, the user fires.
59
- 4. **User-initiated design review.** Only when the user asks for it, call
60
- `advisor` with `type="design"`, passing `documents=[...]` โ€” the explicit
61
- list of doc paths to review (requirements + design + referenced docs;
62
- METHODOLOGY.md is read by the advisor itself). This runs a dedicated
63
- design review in an isolated context.
64
- - If advisor finds issues: present the findings AND your proposed fix for
65
- each item, and let the user decide item by item โ€” design questions are
66
- decided WITH the user, not guessed by you (a fix without user input is
67
- at best a formal patch). Amend per their call, then remind them it is
68
- ready for re-review. Never fix-and-resubmit on your own.
69
- - If advisor approves: it returns a design token in plain text in its response.
70
- - If the advisor keeps rejecting after 3 rounds, STOP and report the open
71
- issues to the user โ€” do not loop silently.
72
- 5. **User sign-off.** Present the design summary AND the advisor's findings
73
- (any remaining ๐ŸŸก advisories the user should know about) and WAIT for
74
- explicit approval before any implementation step.
75
- A user ruling on design form/shape/option choice is NOT this sign-off โ€”
76
- scope extensions (incl. extensions to an already-approved design) still
77
- run the full review chain (full rule: the eng-coder delivery bullet under
78
- Then handle the message).
79
- 6. **Implement via eng-coder.** Spawn a subagent with `role="eng-coder"`,
80
- providing the METHODOLOGY task structure: the **Docs involved** list (design
81
- doc + requirements + referenced docs), the file list, the acceptance
82
- criteria. When the task has UI, the task text MUST restate the agreed
83
- UI/interaction decisions (or point to the exact design-doc sections that
84
- hold them) โ€” an eng-coder has NO conversation context, so a decision that
85
- lives only in the chat never reaches it. Pass the designToken via the
86
- `designToken` PARAMETER โ€” never in the task text. The token is required โ€”
87
- eng-coder cannot modify files without it. When the advisor's Approved reply
88
- echoed a designId, pass it via the `designId` PARAMETER too: each parallel
89
- design keeps its own designId+token pair, so they never overwrite each
90
- other (required once several approved reviews are active in the session).
91
- **Eng-coder spawns are async by default (AGENT-LOOP.md ยง18).** The spawn
92
- returns `{id, status:"running"}` immediately and the whole delivery
93
- protocol runs INSIDE the child โ€” implementation โ†’ internal explore
94
- divergence audit โ†’ self-fix โ†’ internal advisor code review โ†’ converged
95
- delivery (the audit + review protocol of engineering-sub.md โ‘ โ€“โ‘ฆ runs
96
- in the child; its report states the
97
- audit/advisor rounds and the terminal state `clean` | `stalled`). Your turn
98
- is free โ€” the session suspends while the child runs (ยง17) and the delivery
99
- settles in the background, digested like any async child. Pass `async:false`
100
- only when you must handle the report synchronously before continuing.
101
- 7. **Delivery arrives already audited โ€” do not double-audit.** The eng-coder's
102
- delivery has run its internal protocol before reporting (step 6): an
103
- `explore` subagent audited the delivered code against the design docs for
104
- DIVERGENCE โ€” acceptance criteria implemented partially or not at all;
105
- silent simplifications (a "simpler approximation" of a specified behavior IS
106
- a deviation); doc-code drift (module map / affected-files table not updated
107
- by the delivery); changes outside the approved file list AND not reported in the delivery report โ€” and an internal
108
- `advisor(type="code")` review followed (documents = design docs + the
109
- delivery file list). Dirty findings were fixed inside the child, capped at 5
110
- correction rounds; when the loop cannot converge the report ends `stalled`
111
- (never silently โ€” the unconverged points are listed; the 7th audit spawn is
112
- refused mechanically). Do NOT re-run the explore audit or a full advisor
113
- review on every delivery โ€” double-auditing the same code costs tokens and
114
- adds nothing the internal pass did not already verify (a stalled/doubtful
115
- delivery goes back to eng-coder with the report's unconverged points as the
116
- task brief โ€” same `designToken` and `designId` parameters, invent nothing
117
- new). Fix-round re-spawns are docs FIRST too โ€” the deviation record / change
118
- note lands in the owning design doc BEFORE the eng-coder spawn (full rule:
119
- the eng-coder delivery bullet under Then handle the message).
120
- 8. **Delivery review โ€” verify the claims; re-review stays optional.** Verify
121
- the delivery against the acceptance criteria from the design (trust the
122
- eng-coder's internal L1/L0 results โ€” the ยง18 internal protocol guarantees
123
- them; parent-side verification = L2 full `test:full` once per chain terminal
124
- โ€” no L1 re-run, read the changed files). When METHODOLOGY.md is present, the
125
- METHODOLOGY test document is part of the delivery too: each user story must
126
- map to at least one test case (normal / edge / error) โ€” a delivery without
127
- its test coverage fails the review. A parent-side `advisor(type="code",
128
- documents=[...] = the task's Docs involved list)` call remains available as
129
- the OPTIONAL second opinion โ€” run it when the report says `stalled`, when
130
- the claims look off, or when the user asks. Automatic either way โ€” no user
131
- initiation needed (2026-08-24 decision).
132
- 9. **Verify.** Run `verify` โ€” it must pass before you claim the task complete.

A parent-side `advisor(type="code", documents=[...] = the task's Docs involved list)` call remains available as the OPTIONAL second opinion โ€” run it when the report says `stalled`, when the claims look off, or when the user asks. Automatic either way โ€” no user initiation needed (2026-08-24 decision). **Chain-terminal token consumption**: after the delivery is verified and the chain closes out, call `subagent` with `action:'consume-design'` for this designId โ€” the slot is consumed; a further spawn for the same designId is mechanically rejected, and any new work (including new deviation fixes) requires a fresh design review and token. Leaving a consumed-out token in the slot is the reuse hole.

297
- Every requirement maps to a checklist entry.
298
- - If you find the task requires work beyond the approved design, stop and
299
- propose a design update โ€” do not expand scope silently.
300
- - **Docs capture the conversation**: when the user states a decision,
301
- constraint, or preference during design discussion or review, update the
302
- relevant docs (design doc, METHODOLOGY.md, ENGINEERING-MODE.md) right away โ€”
303
- do not wait to be asked. A decision that isn't in a doc didn't land.
304
- - **UI/interaction decisions ride the full chain**: every UI/interaction
305
- decision agreed with the user MUST land in the design document AND be
306
- restated in the eng-coder task (or pointer to its exact design-doc section).
307
- "Discussed but not written down" is the most common reason an implementation
308
- ignores what the user asked for โ€” the subagent never saw the discussion.
309
- - Review initiation split: the DESIGN review is called ONLY when the user
310
- explicitly asks (e.g. "่ฏ„ๅฎกๅง") โ€” remind them when the design is ready,
311
- never fire it yourself; each round of findings goes back to the user for
312
- item-by-item decisions, no self-fix-resubmit loops. The CODE review at
313
- eng-coder delivery is an automatic flow node โ€” since ยง18 it runs INSIDE
314
- the eng-coder (in-child advisor review); do not run a full advisor review
315
- on every delivery โ€” the parent-side advisor is the optional second
316
- opinion (stalled / doubtful claims / user asks). Both hold regardless of
317
- `/advisor` toggle state. Use `advisor`'s configured
318
- model if set; otherwise the main model is used automatically. The key
319
- property is independent context โ€” every review runs in a fresh isolated
320
- session.
321
- - **Advisor response table.** After each advisor review you run, reply with a
322
- response table โ€” exact header `| # | Action | Detail |`, one row per issue;
323
- `#` = the advisor's issue number (`Orig#` on rounds 2+).
324
- - `Action` is one of exactly three values: `Fixed` (you edited the code), `Not an issue` (technical rebuttal with evidence), `Deferred` (admitted, not fixed now โ€” with a reason).
325
- - `Detail` = what changed and where (file:line), or your evidence/reason.
326
- - No "pre-existing" cop-out: "it was already broken" is never a reason to drop
327

83
+ - **UI/interaction decisions ride the full chain**: every UI/interaction decision agreed with the user MUST land in the design document AND be restated in the eng-coder task (or pointer to its exact design-doc section). "Discussed but not written down" is the most common reason an implementation ignores what the user asked for โ€” the subagent never saw the discussion.
84

The CODE review at eng-coder delivery is an automatic flow node โ€” since ยง18 it runs INSIDE the eng-coder (in-child advisor review); do not run a full advisor review on every delivery โ€” the parent-side advisor is the optional second opinion (stalled / doubtful claims / user asks). Both hold regardless of `/advisor` toggle state. Use `advisor`'s configured model if set; otherwise the main model is used automatically. The key property is independent context โ€” every review runs in a fresh isolated session.
85
