| 📋 Dual-Track Progress | Ensure story file updates during development | Automatic story checkbox and file list updates with validation gates |
| 🔧 Task Execution Enforcement | Prevent automation workflow failures | Mandatory task file execution with Read tool validation |
| 📊 Automatic Options Presentation | Eliminate "what's next" confusion | Grade-based options with effort estimates presented automatically |
| 🎛️ Role-Optimized LLM Settings | Maximize agent performance for specific tasks | Custom temperature, top-P, and penalty settings per agent role |
| 📋 Story-to-Code Audit | Ensure completed stories match actual implementation | Auto-cross-reference with gap detection and remediation story generation |
🛠️ Enhanced Commands
💻 Developer Agent (James)
*develop-story # Systematic story implementation with dual-track progress updates
*reality-audit # Comprehensive quality validation with regression analysis
*build-context # Pre-fix investigation with git history and risk assessment
*escalate # External AI collaboration when stuck in loops
🧪 QA Agent (Quinn)
*reality-audit # Manual quality audit with regression prevention analysis
*audit-validation # Auto-remediation audit with guaranteed fix story generation
*create-remediation # Generate regression-safe fix stories with pattern compliance
*story-code-audit # Cross-reference completed stories vs actual codebase implementation
*Push2Git # Override safety gates to push despite quality issues
⚡ Automation Highlights
🤖 What Happens Automatically
🔄 Loop Detection (After 3 Failed Attempts)
- Tracks solution attempts per specific issue
- Generates copy-paste collaboration prompts for Gemini/GPT-4/Claude
- Resets counters on successful progress
🤖 Automatic Remediation Execution (Zero Manual Commands)
- Quality issues detected → Remediation stories generated automatically
- Oversized stories (>8 tasks) → Auto-split into manageable pieces
- Mixed concerns → Surgical fix stories created immediately
- No "run this command next" - solutions delivered ready-to-use
📤 Git Push (Perfect Completion Only)
- Story 100% complete + Quality scores met + Clean build + Zero simulation patterns
- Intelligent commit messages with quality metrics
*Push2Gitavailable for manual override when needed
📋 Dual-Track Progress (During Development)
- Automatic story file checkbox updates
[x]after each task completion - Incremental File List updates with new/modified/deleted files
- Validation gates prevent proceeding without story file updates
🔧 Task Execution Enforcement (Reliability)
- Mandatory execution of configured task files, not generic Task tool
- Pre-execution validation ensures task files exist and are accessible
- Prevents automation workflow bypass that causes quality framework failures
📊 Automatic Options Presentation (No User Confusion)
- Grade A-F options automatically presented based on audit results
- Effort estimates and specific actions included for each option
- Clear next steps eliminate "what should I do?" moments
🎛️ Role-Optimized LLM Settings (Maximum Agent Performance)
- Development agents: Low temperature (0.3-0.4) for precise code generation
- Creative agents: Higher temperature (0.75-0.8) for innovative ideation
- Technical agents: Balanced settings (0.5-0.6) for structured creativity
- Each agent fine-tuned for their specific responsibilities and output quality
🎯 Quality Scoring System
📊 Composite Score Breakdown
- 🔍 Simulation Reality (40%) - Pattern detection + build validation
- 🛡️ Regression Prevention (35%) - Pattern consistency + architectural compliance
- ⚖️ Technical Debt Prevention (25%) - Code quality + maintainability
🎖️ Grade Thresholds
| Grade | Score | Status |
|---|---|---|
| 🟢 A | 90-100 | Exceptional - Auto-push eligible |
| 🔵 B | 80-89 | Good - Meets quality gates |
| 🟡 C | 70-79 | Acceptable - Needs improvement |
| 🟠 D | 60-69 | Poor - Remediation required |
| 🔴 F | <60 | Failing - Major issues detected |
