JSON‑First Artifacts & Gates (New)

• Artifacts are produced as JSON first and validated against schemas in .claude/schemas/.
• Render human‑readable Markdown using the built‑in renderer:
  • node .claude/tools/renderers/bmad-render.mjs prd .claude/context/artifacts/prd.json > .claude/context/artifacts/prd.md
• Enforce deterministic quality gates with a validate → auto‑fix → escalate loop:
  • node .claude/tools/gates/gate.mjs --schema .claude/schemas/product_requirements.schema.json --input .claude/context/artifacts/prd.json --gate .claude/context/history/gates/greenfield-fullstack/02-pm.json --autofix 1

CI Validation

• GitHub Action Validate Artifacts runs on PRs and main to validate all .claude/context/artifacts/*.json against schemas.
• See .github/workflows/validate-artifacts.yml and .claude/tools/ci/validate-all.mjs.

🏗️ Enterprise Systems Deep Dive

1. Context Engine - Structured Data Flow

• Structured Context Store: JSON-based data passing between agents
• Validation Rules: Automatic validation of context integrity
• Cross-References: Agents reference specific previous outputs
• Version Control: Context checkpointing for recovery
• Performance: Optimized context loading and caching

2. Enhanced Workflow Engine - Intelligent Execution

• Dependency Analysis: Automatic detection of parallel execution opportunities
• Quality Gates: Automated validation at each workflow step
• Adaptive Routing: Dynamic workflow modification based on complexity
• Resource Management: Intelligent allocation of computational resources
• Progress Monitoring: Real-time execution tracking and optimization

Deterministic Orchestration & Routing (New)

• Low‑temp routing: Orchestrator and routing temperatures set to 0.2 for repeatable decisions.
• Route decision schema: Orchestrator emits a JSON decision validated by .claude/schemas/route_decision.schema.json and persists it to .claude/context/session.json.
• Selective rules loading: Loads only 1–3 stack‑relevant rules from .claude/rules/manifest.yaml to maximize focus.
• Per‑agent temperature policy: Creative agents (UX/Developer) run at moderate temps (≈0.5–0.6); analysis/QA lower (≈0.3–0.4).

3. Intelligent Templates - Adaptive Generation

• Conditional Logic: Templates adapt based on project complexity
• Validation Rules: Automatic quality checking of generated content
• Variable Substitution: Advanced placeholder replacement with validation
• Quality Assessment: Built-in scoring and improvement suggestions
• Context Awareness: Templates use structured data from previous agents

4. Validation Protocol - Quality Assurance

• Cross-Agent Validation: Agents validate each other's work automatically
• Conflict Resolution: Automated consensus building for disagreements
• Quality Metrics: 5-dimensional scoring (completeness, consistency, feasibility, clarity, actionability)
• Escalation Procedures: Clear authority chains for unresolved conflicts
• Decision Documentation: Complete audit trail of all quality decisions

Executable Workflows (New)

• Each step declares explicit inputs, JSON‑first creates, validators (schema/checklist), on_fail, and a render block.
• Gates enforce a small, repeatable loop per step: validate(schema) → auto‑fix (1 try) → escalate → render.

5. Parallel Execution Engine - Performance Optimization

• Dependency Graph Analysis: Identifies parallelization opportunities
• Resource Management: Intelligent CPU and memory allocation
• Synchronization: Smart barrier coordination for parallel agents
• Load Balancing: Dynamic resource allocation based on agent needs
• Performance Monitoring: Real-time execution metrics and optimization

6. Error Recovery System - Enterprise Reliability

• Multi-Layer Detection: Syntax, content, consistency, and system error detection
• Automatic Recovery: Retry with intelligence, fallback strategies
• Graceful Degradation: System continues functioning with reduced capabilities
• Learning System: Continuous improvement from error patterns
• Checkpoint Recovery: Rollback to previous working states

7. Adaptive Workflow System - Intelligent Routing

• Complexity Scoring: Multi-dimensional analysis of project characteristics
• Dynamic Branching: Workflow paths adapt based on project needs
• Domain Specialization: Healthcare, finance, e-commerce variants
• Performance Learning: System optimizes workflow selection over time
• User Feedback Integration: Incorporates user preferences and constraints

📊 Performance Benchmarks

Execution Performance

• Benchmarks vary by environment; use the gate + schema validation to measure your own pass rates and timings locally.

Quality Improvements

• JSON‑first artifacts and gate checks improve output consistency and validation coverage across workflows.

Reliability Practices

• Validate → auto‑fix → escalate gates at each step; route decisions logged to session context for traceability.

🧠 Claude Thinking Optimization System

Intelligent Thinking Budget Allocation

The system uses Claude-specific thinking triggers to optimize decision quality:

Thinking Level	Usage	Applied To	Performance Impact
ultrathink	Critical decisions requiring maximum analysis	System architecture, security design	3-5x more thorough
think harder	Complex trade-offs and risk assessments	Feature prioritization, QA analysis	2-4x better analysis
think hard	Important analysis tasks	Market research, UX optimization	2-3x more comprehensive
think	Standard reasoning and validation	Basic analysis, simple validation	Optimized baseline

Example Thinking Allocation

🏗️ Architect Agent:
- **ultrathink** optimal technology stack selection
- **think harder** database schema design implications  
- **think hard** API architecture patterns
- **think** implementation guidance validation

📋 PM Agent:
- **think harder** feature prioritization with resource constraints
- **think hard** requirements traceability mapping
- **think** user story validation

🛡️ Enterprise Security & Safety Standards

Security-First Development Philosophy

• ❌ NEVER use --dangerously-skip-permissions for enterprise workflows
• ✅ Smart Enterprise Mode: Batch operations while preserving security gates
• ✅ Audit Trail Maintenance: Complete logging of all critical decisions
• ✅ Quality Gate Preservation: Maintain validation for all production code

Enterprise-Safe Workflow Acceleration

Instead of dangerous bypasses, the system uses intelligent optimization:

• Batch Similar Operations: Reduce permission overhead without compromising security
• Progressive Permissions: Escalate only for critical decisions requiring validation
• Pre-validation: Validate resources before agent execution begins
• Smart Confirmations: Group non-critical approvals while preserving security gates
