🎯 Risk Management & Mitigation

Current Risk Status: 🟢 LOW RISK

Mitigation Strategies in Place:

  • ✅ Backward Compatibility: All changes are additive
  • ✅ Incremental Testing: Each phase can be tested independently
  • ✅ Rollback Strategy: Git branching allows easy reversion
  • ✅ Size Controls: File size monitoring to maintain <50KB targets
  • ✅ Documentation: Complete specifications ready for implementation

Risk Indicators to Monitor:

  • 🟡 File Size Creep: Monitor all new files stay <50KB
  • 🟡 Dev Agent Scope Creep: Ensure dev agent stays lean (<100 lines)
  • 🟡 Dependency Explosion: Watch dependency counts per agent
  • 🟡 Performance Impact: Monitor context processing times

  • Dev Agent Size: 66 lines ✅
  • Dev Agent Dependencies: 2 (tasks: 1, checklists: 1) ✅
  • Planning Agent Avg Size: ~100 lines ✅
