+---
+
+# Step 1: Mode Detection
+
+**Goal:** Determine execution mode, capture baseline, handle escalation if needed.
+
+---
+
+## STATE VARIABLES (capture now, persist throughout)
+
+These variables MUST be set in this step and available to all subsequent steps:
+
+- `{baseline_commit}` - Git HEAD at workflow start (or "NO_GIT" if not a git repo)
+- `{execution_mode}` - "tech-spec" or "direct"
+- `{tech_spec_path}` - Path to tech-spec file (if Mode A)
+
+---
+
+## EXECUTION SEQUENCE
+
+### 1. Capture Baseline
+
+First, check if the project uses Git version control:
+
+**If Git repo exists** (`.git` directory present or `git rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree` succeeds):
+
+- Run `git rev-parse HEAD` and store result as `{baseline_commit}`
+
+**If NOT a Git repo:**
+
+- Set `{baseline_commit}` = "NO_GIT"
+
+### 2. Load Project Context
+
+Check if `{project_context}` exists (`**/project-context.md`). If found, load it - this is foundational reference for ALL implementation decisions.
+
+### 3. Parse User Input
+
+Analyze the user's input to determine mode:
+
+**Mode A: Tech-Spec**
+
+- User provided a path to a tech-spec file (e.g., `quick-dev tech-spec-auth.md`)
+- Load the spec, extract tasks/context/AC
+- Set `{execution_mode}` = "tech-spec"
+- Set `{tech_spec_path}` = provided path
+- **NEXT:** Load `step-03-execute.md`
+
+**Mode B: Direct Instructions**
+
+- User provided task description directly (e.g., `refactor src/foo.ts...`)
+- Set `{execution_mode}` = "direct"
+- **NEXT:** Evaluate escalation threshold, then proceed
+
+---
+
+## ESCALATION THRESHOLD (Mode B only)
+
+Evaluate user input with minimal token usage (no file loading):
+
+**Triggers escalation (if 2+ signals present):**
+
+- Multiple components mentioned (dashboard + api + database)
+- System-level language (platform, integration, architecture)
+- Uncertainty about approach ("how should I", "best way to")
+- Multi-layer scope (UI + backend + data together)
+- Extended timeframe ("this week", "over the next few days")
+
+**Reduces signal:**
+
+- Simplicity markers ("just", "quickly", "fix", "bug", "typo", "simple")

+- Confident, specific request
+
+Use holistic judgment, not mechanical keyword matching.
+

+## ESCALATION HANDLING

+### No Escalation (simple request)
+
+Present choice:
+
+```
+**[t] Plan first** - Create tech-spec then implement
+**[e] Execute directly** - Start now
+```
+
+- **[t]:** Direct user to `{create_tech_spec_workflow}`. **EXIT Quick Dev.**
+- **[e]:** Ask for any additional guidance, then **NEXT:** Load `step-02-context-gathering.md`
+
+### Escalation Triggered - Level 0-2
+
+```
+This looks like a focused feature with multiple components.
+
+**[t] Create tech-spec first** (recommended)
+**[w] Seems bigger than quick-dev** - see what BMad Method recommends
+**[e] Execute directly**
+```
+
+- **[t]:** Direct to `{create_tech_spec_workflow}`. **EXIT Quick Dev.**
+- **[w]:** Direct to `{workflow_init}`. **EXIT Quick Dev.**
+- **[e]:** Ask for guidance, then **NEXT:** Load `step-02-context-gathering.md`
+
+### Escalation Triggered - Level 3+
+
+```
+This sounds like platform/system work.
+
+**[w] Start BMad Method** (recommended)
+**[t] Create tech-spec** (lighter planning)
+**[e] Execute directly** - feeling lucky
+```
+
+- **[w]:** Direct to `{workflow_init}`. **EXIT Quick Dev.**
+- **[t]:** Direct to `{create_tech_spec_workflow}`. **EXIT Quick Dev.**
+- **[e]:** Ask for guidance, then **NEXT:** Load `step-02-context-gathering.md`
+
+---
+
+## NEXT STEP DIRECTIVE
+
+**CRITICAL:** When this step completes, explicitly state which step to load:
+
+- Mode A (tech-spec): "**NEXT:** Loading `step-03-execute.md`"
+- Mode B (direct, [e] selected): "**NEXT:** Loading `step-02-context-gathering.md`"
+- Escalation ([t] or [w]): "**EXITING Quick Dev.** Follow the directed workflow."

+---

+## SUCCESS METRICS

+- `{execution_mode}` determined ("tech-spec" or "direct")
+- `{tech_spec_path}` set if Mode A

+- Explicit NEXT directive provided
+
+## FAILURE MODES

+
+### 4. Create Mental Plan

+
+# Step 5: Adversarial Code Review
+
+**Goal:** Construct diff of all changes, invoke adversarial review task, present findings.
+
+---
+
+## AVAILABLE STATE
+
+From previous steps:
+
+- `{baseline_commit}` - Git HEAD at workflow start (CRITICAL for diff)
+- `{execution_mode}` - "tech-spec" or "direct"
+- `{tech_spec_path}` - Tech-spec file (if Mode A)
+
+---
+
+### 1. Construct Diff
+
+Build complete diff of all changes since workflow started.
+
+### If `{baseline_commit}` is a Git commit hash:
+
+**Tracked File Changes:**
+
+```bash
+git diff {baseline_commit}
+```
+
+**New Untracked Files:**
+Only include untracked files that YOU created during this workflow (steps 2-4).
+Do not include pre-existing untracked files.
+For each new file created, include its full content as a "new file" addition.
+
+### If `{baseline_commit}` is "NO_GIT":
+
+Use best-effort diff construction:
+
+- List all files you modified during steps 2-4
+- For each file, show the changes you made (before/after if you recall, or just current state)
+- Include any new files you created with their full content
+- Note: This is less precise than Git diff but still enables meaningful review
+
+### Capture as {diff_output}
+
+Merge all changes into `{diff_output}`.
+
+**Note:** Do NOT `git add` anything - this is read-only inspection.
+
+---
+
+### 2. Invoke Adversarial Review
+
+With `{diff_output}` constructed, invoke the review task. If possible, use information asymmetry: run this step, and only it, in a separate subagent or process with read access to the project, but no context except the `{diff_output}`.
+
+```xml
+<invoke-task>Review {diff_output} using {project-root}/_bmad/core/tasks/review-adversarial-general.xml</invoke-task>
+```
+
+**Platform fallback:** If task invocation not available, load the task file and execute its instructions inline, passing `{diff_output}` as the content.
+
+The task should: review `{diff_output}` and return a list of findings.
+
+---
+
+### 3. Process Findings
+
+Capture the findings from the task output.
+**If zero findings:** HALT - this is suspicious. Re-analyze or request user guidance.
+Evaluate severity (Critical, High, Medium, Low) and validity (real, noise, undecided).
+DO NOT exclude findings based on severity or validity unless explicitly asked to do so.
+Order findings by severity.
+Number the ordered findings (F1, F2, F3, etc.).
+If WriteTodos or similar tool is available, turn each finding into a TODO, include ID, severity, validity, and description in the todo; otherwise present findings as a table with columns: ID, Severity, Validity, Description
+
+---
+
+## NEXT STEP
+
+With findings in hand, load `step-06-resolve-findings.md` for user to choose resolution approach.
+
+---
+
+## SUCCESS METRICS
+
+- Diff constructed from baseline_commit
+- New files included in diff
+- Task invoked with diff as input
+- Findings received
+- Findings processed into TODOs or table and presented to user
+
+## FAILURE MODES
+
+- Missing baseline_commit (can't construct accurate diff)
+- Not including new untracked files in diff
+- Invoking task without providing diff input
+- Accepting zero findings without questioning
+- Presenting fewer findings than the review task returned without explicit instruction to do so

+```
+

+## OPTION 1: WALK THROUGH
+
+For each finding in order:
+
+1. Present the finding with context
+2. Ask: **fix now / skip / discuss**
+3. If fix: Apply the fix immediately
+4. If skip: Note as acknowledged, continue

+6. Move to next finding
+
+After all findings processed, summarize what was fixed/skipped.
+
+---
+
+## OPTION 2: AUTO-FIX
+
+1. Filter findings to only those classified as "real"
+2. Apply fixes for each real finding
+3. Report what was fixed:
+
+```
+**Auto-fix Applied:**
+- F1: {description of fix}
+- F3: {description of fix}
+...
+
+Skipped (noise/uncertain): F2, F4
+```
+
+---
+
+## OPTION 3: SKIP
+
+1. Acknowledge all findings were reviewed
+2. Note that user chose to proceed without fixes
+3. Continue to completion
+
+---
+
+## UPDATE TECH-SPEC (Mode A only)
+
+If `{execution_mode}` is "tech-spec":
+
+1. Load `{tech_spec_path}`
+2. Update status to "Completed"
+3. Add review notes:
+   ```
+   ## Review Notes

+   - Findings: {count} total, {fixed} fixed, {skipped} skipped
+   - Resolution approach: {walk-through/auto-fix/skip}
+   ```
+4. Save changes
