<!-- SYNC:understand-code-first -->[IMPORTANT] Use
TaskCreateto break ALL work into small tasks BEFORE starting — including tasks for each file read. This prevents context loss from long files. For simple tasks, AI MUST ATTENTION ask user whether to skip.
<!-- /SYNC:understand-code-first -->Understand Code First — HARD-GATE: Do NOT write, plan, or fix until you READ existing code.
- Search 3+ similar patterns (
grep/glob) — citefile:lineevidence- Read existing files in target area — understand structure, base classes, conventions
- Run
python .claude/scripts/code_graph trace <file> --direction both --jsonwhen.code-graph/graph.dbexists- Map dependencies via
connectionsorcallers_of— know what depends on your target- Write investigation to
.ai/workspace/analysis/for non-trivial tasks (3+ files)- Re-read analysis file before implementing — never work from memory alone
- NEVER invent new patterns when existing ones work — match exactly or document deviation

Skill Variant: Variant of
/code— parallel phase execution from a plan.
Quick Summary
Goal: Execute implementation phases from an existing plan using parallel fullstack-developer subagents.
Workflow:
- Load — Read the implementation plan and identify parallel phases
- Dispatch — Launch subagents per phase with strict file ownership
- Merge — Integrate results and verify
Key Rules:
- Requires an existing plan file as input
- Each subagent owns specific files; no cross-boundary edits
- Sequential phases must wait for dependencies
Be skeptical. Apply critical thinking, sequential thinking. Every claim needs traced proof, confidence percentages (Idea should be more than 80%).
Execute plan: <plan>$ARGUMENTS</plan>
IMPORTANT: Activate needed skills. Ensure token efficiency. Sacrifice grammar for concision.
Workflow
1. Plan Analysis
- Read
plan.mdfrom given path - Check for: Dependency graph, Execution strategy, Parallelization Info, File Ownership matrix
- Decision: IF parallel-executable → Step 2A, ELSE → Step 2B
- External Memory: Re-read any
.ai/workspace/analysis/files referenced in the plan before dispatching to parallel agents.
2A. Parallel Execution
- Parse execution strategy (which phases concurrent/sequential, file ownership)
- Launch multiple
fullstack-developeragents simultaneously for parallel phases- Pass: phase file path, environment info, file ownership boundaries
- Wait for parallel group completion, verify no conflicts
- Execute sequential phases (one agent per phase after dependencies)
- Proceed to Step 3
2B. Sequential Execution
Follow ./.claude/workflows/primary-workflow.md:
- Use main agent step by step
- Read
plan.md, implement phases one by one - Use
project-managerfor progress updates - Use
ui-ux-designerfor frontend - Run type checking after each phase
- Proceed to Step 3
3. Testing
- Use
testerfor full suite (NO fake data/mocks) - If fail:
debugger→ fix → repeat
4. Code Review
- Use
code-reviewerfor all changes - If critical: fix → retest
5. Project Management & Docs
- If approved:
project-manager+docs-managerin parallel (update plans, docs, roadmap) - If rejected: fix → repeat
6. Onboarding
- Guide user step by step (1 question at a time)
7. Final Report
- Summary, guide, next steps
- Ask to commit (use
git-managerif yes)
Examples:
- Parallel: "Phases 1-3 parallel, then 4" → Launch 3 agents → Wait → Launch 1 agent
- Sequential: "Phase 1 → 2 → 3" → Main agent implements each phase
Next Steps (Standalone: MUST ATTENTION ask user via AskUserQuestion. Skip if inside workflow.)
MANDATORY IMPORTANT MUST ATTENTION — NO EXCEPTIONS: If this skill was called outside a workflow, you MUST ATTENTION use
AskUserQuestionto present these options. Do NOT skip because the task seems "simple" or "obvious" — the user decides:
- "Proceed with full workflow (Recommended)" — I'll detect the best workflow to continue from here (code implemented). This ensures review, testing, and docs steps aren't skipped.
- "/code-simplifier" — Simplify implementation
- "/workflow-review-changes" — Review changes before commit
- "Skip, continue manually" — user decides
If already inside a workflow, skip — the workflow handles sequencing.
Closing Reminders
- MANDATORY IMPORTANT MUST ATTENTION break work into small todo tasks using
TaskCreateBEFORE starting - MANDATORY IMPORTANT MUST ATTENTION search codebase for 3+ similar patterns before creating new code
- MANDATORY IMPORTANT MUST ATTENTION cite
file:lineevidence for every claim (confidence >80% to act) - MANDATORY IMPORTANT MUST ATTENTION add a final review todo task to verify work quality
- MANDATORY IMPORTANT MUST ATTENTION validate decisions with user via
AskUserQuestion— never auto-decide MANDATORY IMPORTANT MUST ATTENTION READ the following files before starting: <!-- SYNC:understand-code-first:reminder --> - MANDATORY IMPORTANT MUST ATTENTION search 3+ existing patterns and read code BEFORE any modification.
