Workflow Phases

Phase -1: PROJECT ROOT DETECTION

CRITICAL: Before starting any workflow phase, detect and change to the Rails project root directory.

# Detect Rails project root
detect_project_root() {
  # Priority 1: Check user's prompt for explicit path
  # Look for patterns like "in /path/to/project" or "at: /path/to/project"
  # The user may have specified the project path in their request

  # Priority 2: Check if current directory is a Rails project
  if [ -f "config/application.rb" ] && [ -f "Gemfile" ]; then
    echo "$(pwd)"
    return 0
  fi

  # Priority 3: Search for Rails project in common locations
  for dir in /Users/*/Documents/Projects/Manifest/manifest \
             /Users/*/Documents/Projects/*/manifest \
             /Users/*/Projects/*/manifest \
             $(pwd)/manifest \
             $(pwd)/../manifest; do
    if [ -d "$dir" ] && [ -f "$dir/config/application.rb" ]; then
      echo "$dir"
      return 0
    fi
  done

  # If no Rails project found, ask user
  echo "ERROR: Cannot detect Rails project root" >&2
  echo "Please specify the Rails project directory in your prompt" >&2
  echo "Example: 'Add ActivityLogger model to manifest_lms at: /Users/cookies/Documents/Projects/Manifest/manifest'" >&2
  return 1
}

# Set project root and change directory
PROJECT_ROOT=$(detect_project_root)
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
  cd "$PROJECT_ROOT"
  export PROJECT_ROOT
  echo "✓ Working directory: $PROJECT_ROOT"
  echo "✓ Rails project detected: $(basename $PROJECT_ROOT)"
else
  echo "✗ Failed to detect project root. Workflow cannot proceed." >&2
  exit 1
fi

Important: All subsequent Bash commands in this workflow will execute from $PROJECT_ROOT.

Phase 0: SKILL DISCOVERY

Before starting the workflow, discover available skills in the project:

# Discover skills
bash ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/hooks/scripts/discover-skills.sh

# This creates/updates skill inventory in settings:
# .claude/rails-enterprise-dev.local.md

Skills are categorized as:

core: rails-conventions, rails-error-prevention, codebase-inspection
data: activerecord-patterns, model, database
service: service-object-patterns, api-development-patterns
async: sidekiq-async-patterns, job, async
ui: viewcomponents-specialist, hotwire-patterns, tailadmin-patterns, accessibility-patterns, user-experience-design, ui
i18n: localization, translation
testing: rspec-testing-patterns, spec, test
domain: Project-specific skills (manifest-project-context, etc.)

Store discovered skills in settings file for quick reference throughout workflow.

Phase 0.25: WORKING MEMORY INITIALIZATION (ReAcTree)

Initialize the working memory system to enable knowledge sharing across all agents.

# Initialize working memory file
init_memory() {
  export MEMORY_FILE=".claude/reactree-memory.jsonl"
  touch "$MEMORY_FILE"
  echo "$(date -u +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ) - Memory initialized" >&2
  echo "✓ Working memory initialized at $MEMORY_FILE"
}

# Memory API Functions (available to all agents)

write_memory() {
  local agent=$1
  local knowledge_type=$2
  local key=$3
  local value=$4
  local confidence=${5:-"verified"}
  local expires_at=${6:-"null"}

  cat >> "$MEMORY_FILE" <<EOF
{
  "timestamp": "$(date -u +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ)",
  "agent": "$agent",
  "knowledge_type": "$knowledge_type",
  "key": "$key",
  "value": $value,
  "confidence": "$confidence",
  "expires_at": $expires_at
}
EOF

  echo "✓ Wrote to memory: $key" >&2
}

read_memory() {
  local key=$1

  if [[ ! -f "$MEMORY_FILE" ]]; then
    return 1
  fi

  # JSONL = last entry wins (tail -1)
  cat "$MEMORY_FILE" | \
    jq -r "select(.key == \"$key\") | .value" | \
    tail -1
}

query_memory() {
  local knowledge_type=$1

  if [[ ! -f "$MEMORY_FILE" ]]; then
    return 1
  fi

  cat "$MEMORY_FILE" | \
    jq -r "select(.knowledge_type == \"$knowledge_type\")"
}

cleanup_memory() {
  if [[ ! -f "$MEMORY_FILE" ]]; then
    return 0
  fi

  local now=$(date -u +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ)
  local temp_file="${MEMORY_FILE}.tmp"

  # Keep only non-expired entries
  cat "$MEMORY_FILE" | \
    jq -r "select(.expires_at == null or .expires_at > \"$now\")" \
    > "$temp_file"

  mv "$temp_file" "$MEMORY_FILE"

  echo "✓ Memory cleaned up (removed expired entries)" >&2
}

# TTL-based caching API (24-hour default)
write_memory_cached() {
  local agent=$1
  local type=$2
  local key=$3
  local value=$4
  local ttl_hours=${5:-24}  # Default: 24 hours

  # Calculate expiration time
  local expires_at
  if [[ "$(uname)" == "Darwin" ]]; then
    expires_at=$(date -u -v+${ttl_hours}H +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ)
  else
    expires_at=$(date -u -d "+${ttl_hours} hours" +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ)
  fi

  write_memory "$agent" "$type" "$key" "$value" "verified" "\"$expires_at\""
  echo "✓ Cached $key (expires in ${ttl_hours}h)" >&2
}

check_cache() {
  local key=$1

  if [[ ! -f "$MEMORY_FILE" ]]; then
    return 1
  fi

  local now=$(date -u +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ)

  # Get last entry for key that hasn't expired
  local cached=$(cat "$MEMORY_FILE" | \
    jq -r "select(.key == \"$key\") | select(.expires_at == null or .expires_at > \"$now\") | .value" | \
    tail -1)

  if [[ -n "$cached" && "$cached" != "null" ]]; then
    echo "✓ Cache hit: $key" >&2
    echo "$cached"
    return 0
  fi

  echo "✗ Cache miss: $key" >&2
  return 1
}

# Initialize memory
init_memory
echo "✓ Working memory initialized"
echo "Agents will share verified facts to eliminate redundant analysis"

Memory Benefits:

Eliminates redundant analysis: First agent discovers, all agents reuse
100% consistency: All agents use identical verified facts
2-4 minute savings: No repeated rg/grep operations
Audit trail: Track what was discovered and when

Phase 0.5: CONTEXT MANAGEMENT & OPTIMIZATION

Modern AI/LLM optimization for efficient context usage:

# Initialize context tracking
cat >> .claude/rails-enterprise-dev.local.md <<EOF

# Context Management
token_budget: 100000
token_usage: 0
context_strategy: progressive  # progressive | full
phase_summaries: []
EOF

Context Optimization Strategies:

Progressive Skill Loading (Recommended):
- Don't load all skills upfront
- Load skills on-demand per phase
- Reduces initial context by 60-70%
Phase Summarization:
- After each phase completes, generate summary
- Archive detailed outputs
- Keep only essential context for next phase
Token Budget Tracking:

# Track token usage (rough estimation)
estimate_tokens() {
  local file=$1
  # Approximate: 1 token ≈ 0.75 words
  wc -w < "$file" | awk '{print int($1 * 1.3)}'
}

CURRENT_TOKENS=$(estimate_tokens .claude/rails-enterprise-dev.local.md)
echo "Context usage: $CURRENT_TOKENS / 100000 tokens"

# Warn if approaching limit
if [ $CURRENT_TOKENS -gt 80000 ]; then
  echo "⚠️  Context approaching limit. Summarizing completed phases..."
fi

Smart Skill Prioritization:

# Semantic matching for skill relevance (if embeddings available)
# Otherwise, keyword-based matching
prioritize_skills() {
  local feature_request="$1"

  # Extract keywords from feature request
  keywords=$(echo "$feature_request" | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]' | grep -oE '\w{4,}')

  # Score skills by keyword overlap
  # Rank and load top N most relevant skills
}

Implementation: Enable with context_strategy: progressive in settings.

Phase 1: INITIALIZATION

Create beads issue to track the entire workflow:

# Check if beads is available
if command -v bd &> /dev/null; then
  # Create main feature issue
  FEATURE_ID=$(bd create \
    --type feature \
    --title "Feature: [Feature Name]" \
    --description "[Detailed description from user request]" \
    --acceptance "[What defines completion]" \
    --design "[High-level approach]")

  echo "Created beads issue: $FEATURE_ID"
else
  echo "⚠️  Beads not installed. Proceeding without issue tracking."
  echo "   Install beads for better workflow management: npm install -g @beads/cli"
  FEATURE_ID=""
fi

Create settings file for session persistence:

cat > .claude/rails-enterprise-dev.local.md <<EOF
---
enabled: true
feature_id: ${FEATURE_ID:-none}
workflow_phase: inspection
quality_gates_enabled: true

# Granularity controls for beads task tracking
conditional_phase_creation: true      # Only create tasks for needed implementation layers
granular_file_tracking: false         # Create detailed file-level progress comments (not tasks)
track_skill_invocations: true         # Add comments when skills are invoked
track_quality_gates: true             # Add detailed quality validation comments

# Skill inventory (populated by discover-skills.sh)
available_skills:
  core: []
  data: []
  service: []
  async: []
  ui: []
  i18n: []
  testing: []

# Current Feature Development

**Feature**: [Feature Name]
**Tracking**: ${FEATURE_ID:-Manual tracking}
**Phase**: Inspection
EOF

Phase 2: INSPECTION (Delegate to codebase-inspector)

CRITICAL: Use the Task tool to delegate to the codebase-inspector agent.

<invoke name="Task">
<parameter name="subagent_type">reactree-rails-dev:codebase-inspector</parameter>
<parameter name="description">Analyze codebase for [FEATURE_NAME] implementation</parameter>
<parameter name="prompt">Perform comprehensive codebase inspection for implementing: [FEATURE_NAME]

**Context**:
- Feature request: [USER_REQUEST]
- Available skills: [LIST_FROM_DISCOVERY]
- Beads tracking: [FEATURE_ID if available]

**Your tasks**:
1. Invoke codebase-inspection skill (if available)
2. Analyze existing patterns using rails-conventions skill (if available)
3. Understand domain context using domain skills (if available)
4. Document:
   - Project structure and organization
   - Service object patterns
   - Component architecture
   - Database schema relevant to feature
   - Similar existing implementations
   - Dependencies and integrations

**Deliverable**:
Inspection report with:
- Patterns to follow
- Files/directories organization
- Dependencies identified
- Recommendations for implementation

Write findings to working memory for use by planning phase.
</parameter>
</invoke>

After codebase-inspector completes, create inspection subtask (if beads available):

if [ -n "$FEATURE_ID" ]; then

# Update workflow phase in settings
sed -i 's/workflow_phase: inspection/workflow_phase: planning/' .claude/rails-enterprise-dev.local.md

Phase 3: PLANNING (Delegate to rails-planner)

Invoke the rails planner agent with inspection findings:

CRITICAL: Use the Task tool to delegate to the rails-planner agent.

<invoke name="Task">
<parameter name="subagent_type">reactree-rails-dev:rails-planner</parameter>
<parameter name="description">Create implementation plan for [FEATURE_NAME]</parameter>

**Deliverable**:
Implementation plan with:
- Clear phase breakdown
- Specialist assignments
- Skill references for each phase
- Quality criteria

Write plan to working memory for use by implementation phase.

# Update workflow phase
sed -i 's/workflow_phase: planning/workflow_phase: implementation/' .claude/rails-enterprise-dev.local.md

Phase 3.5: CONTEXT COMPILATION (Conditional - cclsp + Sorbet)

LSP-powered context extraction phase that runs ONLY when cclsp MCP tools are available.

This phase extracts interfaces and builds vocabulary using LSP tools to guide type-safe code generation.

Prerequisites Check:

# Check if cclsp MCP tools are available
check_cclsp_available() {
  # Try to get diagnostics for a known file
  local test
  test=$(mcp__cclsp__get_diagnostics --file_path "Gemfile" 2>&1)

  # Delegate to context-compiler agent
  use_task "context-compiler" "Compile LSP context for implementation" <<EOF
Extract interfaces and build vocabulary using cclsp tools.

**Implementation Plan:**
$IMPL_PLAN

**Tools Available:**
- cclsp: $CCLSP_AVAILABLE
- Sorbet: $SORBET_AVAILABLE
- Solargraph: $SOLARGRAPH_AVAILABLE

**Tasks:**
1. Parse implementation plan to identify target files and dependencies
2. Extract interfaces from dependency files using find_definition/find_references
3. Build project vocabulary (models, services, patterns)
4. Extract Sorbet type signatures if available
5. Store compiled context for implementation-executor

**Deliverable:**
Compiled context stored in working memory with:
- interfaces: Array of class/method definitions with signatures
- vocabulary: Project symbols organized by category
- type_info: Sorbet signatures (if available)
- patterns: Common patterns detected

Store results in working memory key: task.<task_id>.context
EOF

  echo "✓ Context compilation complete"
  echo "Implementation-executor will use compiled context for type-safe generation"

  # Update workflow state
  write_memory "workflow-orchestrator" "phase_status" "phase.3_5.status" \
    "{\"completed\": true, \"cclsp_enhanced\": true}" "verified"

Context Compiler Benefits (when available):

Interface Extraction: Know exact method signatures before generating code
Vocabulary Building: Use consistent naming patterns from codebase
Type Safety: Sorbet signatures guide correct types in generated code
Fewer Errors: Guardian validation catches issues early in implementation

Tool Installation (via /reactree-init):

Solargraph: gem install solargraph
Sorbet: gem install sorbet sorbet-runtime
parser gem: gem install parser

Phase 4: IMPLEMENTATION (Delegate to implementation-executor)

Parse implementation plan metadata to determine which phases are needed:

# After planning completes, extract metadata from plan
# Plan metadata should be in the rails-planner output in YAML format

# Helper function to check if phase is needed
phase_needed() {
  local phase_name=$1
  local plan_output="$2"

  # Extract phases_needed section and check for phase
  echo "$plan_output" | sed -n '/^phases_needed:/,/^[a-z_]*:/p' | grep "^  $phase_name:" | grep -q "true"

# Parse plan from above planner output
PLAN_METADATA=$(cat <<'EOF'

Advanced Workflow Capabilities

Parallel Phase Execution

Some phases can run concurrently to accelerate delivery:

# Dependency analysis for parallelization
independent_phases:
  # These can run in parallel:
  - group_1:
      - component_development
      - test_writing (for completed models/services)
  - group_2:
      - api_documentation
      - database_migration_review
  - group_3:  # UI/UX Parallel Execution (v2.6.0)
      - ui_specialist_implementation
      - ux_engineer_guidance

# Sequential dependencies (must wait):
dependencies:
  models: [database]           # Models need DB first
  services: [models]           # Services need models
  controllers: [services]      # Controllers need services
  views: [components, controllers]  # Views need both

Phase 5 UI/UX Parallel Groups (v2.6.0)

UX Engineer runs in parallel with UI Specialist for real-time guidance:

# Execute UI and UX in parallel
execute_parallel_group "UI_UX" \
  "ui_specialist" \
  "ux_engineer"

Coordination via Working Memory:

UX Engineer writes requirements before/during UI Specialist work:

ux.accessibility.<component> - WCAG 2.2 requirements
ux.responsive.<component> - Mobile-first breakpoints
ux.animation.<component> - Transition patterns
ux.darkmode.<component> - TailAdmin dark mode classes
ux.performance.<component> - Lazy loading, CLS prevention

UI Specialist reads these before implementing each component.

Parallel Execution Flow:

Phase 5: View/UI Layer
├── UX Engineer (parallel) [opus - complex UX decisions]
│   ├── Analyze component requirements
│   ├── Invoke accessibility-patterns skill
│   ├── Invoke user-experience-design skill
│   ├── Write UX requirements to working memory
│   └── Validate implementation against WCAG 2.2
│
└── UI Specialist (parallel)
    ├── Read UX requirements from working memory
    ├── Implement ViewComponents with accessibility
    ├── Apply responsive Tailwind/TailAdmin styles
    └── Write Stimulus controllers with keyboard support

Benefits:

Real-time UX feedback during implementation
WCAG 2.2 Level AA compliance built-in
Consistent responsive behavior across components
Dark mode support from the start
Reduced rework from accessibility fixes

Implementation Strategy:

# Identify independent phases
can_parallelize() {
  local phase1=$1
  local phase2=$2

  # Check if phases have dependency relationship
  # Return 0 if can run in parallel, 1 if sequential

  # Example: Component work + Test writing = parallel
  # Component work + View work = sequential (views need components)
}

# Execute parallel phases
if can_parallelize "components" "tests"; then
  # Launch both agents concurrently (using & for background)
  invoke_implementation_executor "components" &
  PID1=$!

  invoke_implementation_executor "tests" &
  PID2=$!

  # Wait for both to complete
  wait $PID1 $PID2

  # Check both succeeded
  # Merge results
fi

Benefits:

30-50% faster implementation
Better resource utilization
Maintains quality gates

Caution:

Only for truly independent work
Clear interface contracts required
Merge conflict resolution needed

Metrics Collection & Learning

Track workflow performance for continuous improvement:

# Initialize metrics tracking
cat > .claude/workflow-metrics.jsonl <<EOF
EOF

# Record phase metrics
record_phase_metric() {
  local phase=$1
  local duration=$2
  local status=$3  # success | failed | retried
  local retry_count=$4

  cat >> .claude/workflow-metrics.jsonl <<EOF
{"phase": "$phase", "duration": $duration, "status": "$status", "retry_count": $retry_count, "timestamp": "$(date -u +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ)"}
EOF
}

# Analyze metrics
analyze_metrics() {
  # Average duration per phase
  # Success rate per phase
  # Most retried phases (= problem areas)
  # Total workflow time trends

  echo "=== Workflow Metrics Analysis ==="
  cat .claude/workflow-metrics.jsonl | jq -s '
    group_by(.phase) |
    map({
      phase: .[0].phase,
      avg_duration: (map(.duration) | add / length),
      success_rate: ((map(select(.status == "success")) | length) / length * 100),
      retry_rate: (map(.retry_count) | add / length)
    })
  '
}

Metrics to Track:

Phase duration (identify slow phases)
Retry frequency (spot problem areas)
Quality gate failures (common errors)
Skill usage patterns (most valuable skills)
Token consumption per phase
Specialist agent performance

Learning Applications:

Improve time estimates
Identify training needs
Optimize phase ordering
Better skill recommendations
Proactive error prevention

Modern Rails Ecosystem Knowledge (2024-2025)

Rails 8 Awareness:

When planning features, consider modern Rails 8 alternatives:

# Background Jobs
traditional: Sidekiq + Redis
rails_8: solid_queue (SQL-backed, no Redis needed)
decision_factors:
  - Job volume (high = Sidekiq, moderate = solid_queue)
  - Infrastructure simplicity (prefer solid_queue)
  - Feature requirements (advanced = Sidekiq)

# Caching
traditional: Redis cache
rails_8: solid_cache (SQL-backed)
decision_factors:
  - Cache size (huge = Redis, moderate = solid_cache)
  - Infrastructure cost
  - Persistence requirements

# WebSockets
traditional: Redis-backed Action Cable
rails_8: solid_cable (SQL-backed)
decision_factors:
  - Connection count
  - Real-time requirements
  - Infrastructure complexity

# Deployment
traditional: Capistrano, custom scripts
rails_8: Kamal (zero-downtime, container-based)
decision_factors:
  - Deployment complexity
  - Team expertise
  - Infrastructure type

Hotwire Turbo 8 Features:

# Page Update Strategies
full_reload: Traditional page refresh
turbo_drive: Faster page loads (Turbo Drive)
turbo_frame: Partial page updates
turbo_stream: Real-time updates
morphing: Efficient DOM diffing (Turbo 8)

# When to use:
morphing:
  - List updates with minimal changes
  - Form validations
  - Live counters/metrics
  benefit: Preserves scroll position, focus, CSS animations

view_transitions:
  - Page navigation
  - Modal overlays
  - Slide-in panels
  benefit: Smooth, app-like animations

page_refresh:
  - Background data updates
  - Polling replacement
  benefit: Fresh data without full reload

Modern Authentication Patterns:

# 2024-2025 Options
traditional_devise: Email/password with Devise
devise_with_2fa: Devise + rotp gem for TOTP
passkeys: WebAuthn/FIDO2 (passwordless)
oauth: OmniAuth with Google/GitHub/etc
magic_links: Passwordless email links

# Security best practices:
- Always use 2FA for admin accounts
- Passkeys for consumer apps (modern UX)
- OAuth for social login
- Magic links for low-security needs
- Rate limiting for all auth endpoints

Error Handling

If Any Phase Fails

Update beads task status to blocked:

bd update $TASK_ID --status blocked
bd comment $TASK_ID "Error: [details]"

Ask user how to proceed:

⚠️  [PHASE_NAME] encountered an error:

Error: [ERROR_DETAILS]

How would you like to proceed?
1. Retry with modifications
2. Skip quality gate (manual override - not recommended)
3. Abort workflow and save state for later

Please advise.

Handle user response:

Retry: Update task to in_progress, re-invoke agent with error context
Skip: Add override note to beads, continue to next phase
Abort: Save current state in settings, exit gracefully

Workflow Resumption

If workflow was interrupted, resume from saved state:

STATE_FILE=".claude/rails-enterprise-dev.local.md"

if [ -f "$STATE_FILE" ]; then
  FEATURE_ID=$(grep '^feature_id:' "$STATE_FILE" | sed 's/feature_id: *//')
  PHASE=$(grep '^workflow_phase:' "$STATE_FILE" | sed 's/workflow_phase: *//')

  if [ -n "$FEATURE_ID" ] && [ "$FEATURE_ID" != "none" ]; then
    echo "📋 Resuming workflow from $PHASE phase"
    echo "Feature: $FEATURE_ID"
    bd show $FEATURE_ID
    bd ready --limit 5

    # Ask user if they want to continue
    echo "Would you like to continue from where we left off?"
  fi
fi

Feedback Handling (v2.0)

Enable backwards communication from child nodes to parent nodes for adaptive fix-verify cycles.

When to Use Feedback

Tests discover issues: Test specs find missing validations or associations
Dependency discovery: Node discovers missing prerequisite during execution
Architecture problems: Circular dependencies or design flaws detected
Context needed: Child needs parent's information to proceed correctly

Feedback Routing

Check for feedback queue after each phase:

check_feedback_queue() {
  local FEEDBACK_FILE=".claude/reactree-feedback.jsonl"

  if [ ! -f "$FEEDBACK_FILE" ]; then
    return 0  # No feedback to process
  fi

  # Check for queued or delivered feedback
  local pending_feedback=$(cat "$FEEDBACK_FILE" | \
    jq -r 'select(.status == "queued" or .status == "delivered")' | \
    wc -l)

  if [ "$pending_feedback" -gt 0 ]; then
    echo "📢 Detected $pending_feedback pending feedback messages"
    return 1  # Feedback needs processing
  fi

  return 0  # All feedback resolved
}

process_feedback_queue() {
  local FEEDBACK_FILE=".claude/reactree-feedback.jsonl"

  echo "🔄 Processing feedback queue..."

  # Get all pending feedback
  local feedback_messages=$(cat "$FEEDBACK_FILE" | \
    jq -c 'select(.status == "queued" or .status == "delivered")')

  if [ -z "$feedback_messages" ]; then
    echo "✓ Feedback queue empty"
    return 0
  fi

  # Process each feedback message
  while IFS= read -r feedback; do
    local from_node=$(echo "$feedback" | jq -r '.from_node')
    local to_node=$(echo "$feedback" | jq -r '.to_node')
    local feedback_type=$(echo "$feedback" | jq -r '.feedback_type')

    echo "Processing: $from_node → $to_node ($feedback_type)"

    # Delegate to feedback-coordinator
    use_task "feedback-coordinator" "Process feedback from $from_node to $to_node" <<EOF
Execute fix-verify cycle for feedback:

From node: $from_node
To node: $to_node
Feedback: $(echo "$feedback" | jq -c '.')

Follow these steps:
1. Route feedback to target node
2. Re-execute parent node with feedback context
3. Verify fix by re-running child node
4. Update feedback status (resolved/failed)

Use execute_fix_verify_cycle() function.
EOF
  done <<< "$feedback_messages"

  echo "✓ Feedback queue processed"
}

Integration with Workflow Phases

After Phase 4 (Implementation), check for feedback:

echo "Phase 4: IMPLEMENTATION"
use_task "implementation-executor" "Execute implementation phases" "$PLAN"

# Check for feedback from implementation
if ! check_feedback_queue; then
  echo "📢 Feedback detected from implementation phase"
  process_feedback_queue

  # Verify all feedback resolved
  if ! check_feedback_queue; then
    echo "⚠️  Feedback still pending after processing"
    echo "Manual intervention may be required"
  fi
fi

After Phase 5 (Testing), check for test-driven feedback:

echo "Phase 5: TESTING & REVIEW"
# Run tests
RAILS_ENV=test bundle exec rspec

# Check for test feedback
if ! check_feedback_queue; then
  echo "📢 Tests generated feedback (missing validations, associations, etc.)"
  process_feedback_queue

  # Re-run tests to verify fixes
  echo "Re-running tests after feedback fixes..."
  RAILS_ENV=test bundle exec rspec
fi

Feedback Flow Example

Test discovers missing validation:

1. Phase 4: Implement Payment model
2. Phase 5: Run PaymentSpec
3. Test fails: "Expected validates_presence_of(:email)"
4. Test generates FEEDBACK:
   {
     "from_node": "test-payment-model",
     "to_node": "create-payment-model",
     "feedback_type": "FIX_REQUEST",
     "message": "Missing email validation",
     "suggested_fix": "validates :email, presence: true"
   }
5. Workflow detects feedback in queue
6. Delegates to feedback-coordinator
7. Coordinator routes to create-payment-model node
8. Model node re-executes with feedback context
9. Model adds validation
10. Test node re-runs
11. Test passes ✓
12. Feedback marked as resolved

Sending Feedback from Agents

Any agent can send feedback using working memory:

send_feedback() {
  local from_node="$1"
  local to_node="$2"
  local feedback_type="$3"
  local message="$4"
  local suggested_fix="$5"
  local priority="${6:-medium}"

  local timestamp=$(date -u +"%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ")
  local FEEDBACK_FILE=".claude/reactree-feedback.jsonl"

  cat >> "$FEEDBACK_FILE" <<EOF
{"timestamp":"$timestamp","from_node":"$from_node","to_node":"$to_node","feedback_type":"$feedback_type","message":"$message","suggested_fix":"$suggested_fix","priority":"$priority","status":"queued","round":1}
EOF

  echo "📢 Feedback sent: $from_node → $to_node ($feedback_type)"
}

# Example usage in test agent
if [ "$test_status" = "failed" ]; then
  local error_message=$(extract_test_error)

  if echo "$error_message" | grep -q "Expected validates_presence_of"; then
    send_feedback \
      "test-payment-model" \
      "create-payment-model" \
      "FIX_REQUEST" \
      "PaymentSpec:42 - Expected validates_presence_of(:email)" \
      "validates :email, presence: true" \
      "high"
  fi
fi

Reading Feedback Context

Parent nodes check for feedback before re-execution:

# In any agent that might receive feedback
local node_id="create-payment-model"
local feedback=$(read_memory "feedback.${node_id}")

if [ -n "$feedback" ] && [ "$feedback" != "null" ]; then
  echo "📢 Feedback received for this node:"
  echo "$feedback" | jq '.'

  local feedback_type=$(echo "$feedback" | jq -r '.feedback_type')
  local message=$(echo "$feedback" | jq -r '.message')
  local suggested_fix=$(echo "$feedback" | jq -r '.suggested_fix')

  echo "Type: $feedback_type"
  echo "Message: $message"
  echo "Applying suggested fix: $suggested_fix"

  # Apply the fix...

  # Clear feedback from memory
  delete_memory "feedback.${node_id}"
fi

Loop Prevention

Automatic enforcement by feedback-coordinator:

Max 2 feedback rounds per node pair
Max depth 3 in feedback chains
Cycle detection prevents A → B → A loops

If limits exceeded, feedback is marked as failed and workflow continues without fix.

Feedback Metrics

Track feedback effectiveness:

# Success rate
resolved=$(cat .claude/reactree-feedback.jsonl | jq -r 'select(.status == "resolved")' | wc -l)
total=$(cat .claude/reactree-feedback.jsonl | wc -l)
echo "Feedback success rate: $((resolved * 100 / total))%"

# Common feedback types
cat .claude/reactree-feedback.jsonl | jq -r '.feedback_type' | sort | uniq -c

# Average rounds to resolution
cat .claude/reactree-feedback.jsonl | jq -r 'select(.status == "resolved") | .round' | \
  awk '{sum+=$1; count++} END {print "Average rounds:", sum/count}'

State Management

Read current state from settings file:

STATE_FILE=".claude/rails-enterprise-dev.local.md"

if [ -f "$STATE_FILE" ]; then
  # Extract YAML frontmatter
  FRONTMATTER=$(sed -n '/^---$/,/^---$/{ /^---$/d; p; }' "$STATE_FILE")

  FEATURE_ID=$(echo "$FRONTMATTER" | grep '^feature_id:' | sed 's/feature_id: *//')
  PHASE=$(echo "$FRONTMATTER" | grep '^workflow_phase:' | sed 's/workflow_phase: *//')
  GATES_ENABLED=$(echo "$FRONTMATTER" | grep '^quality_gates_enabled:' | sed 's/quality_gates_enabled: *//')
fi

Update state:

# Update phase
sed -i 's/^workflow_phase:.*/workflow_phase: planning/' "$STATE_FILE"

# Update feature ID
sed -i "s/^feature_id:.*/feature_id: $NEW_ID/" "$STATE_FILE"

Agent Coordination Protocol

When delegating to specialist agents:

Clear handoff: Specify exact task, context, and deliverable
Skill context: Pass available skills for this phase
Beads tracking: Create subtask before delegation
Blocking: Wait for completion before proceeding
Validation: Verify deliverable meets requirements
Update beads: Close subtask after validation

Control Flow Delegation (v2.0)

When to delegate to control-flow-manager:

LOOP Nodes: Iterative refinement needed (TDD, optimization)
CONDITIONAL Nodes: Runtime branching based on observations
TRANSACTION Nodes: Atomic operations with rollback (Phase 5)

Example: TDD Workflow with LOOP:

I need you to implement payment processing using TDD with iterative refinement.

**Context**:
- Feature: Stripe payment processing
- Implementation plan: Service object pattern with TDD
- Available skills: rspec-testing-patterns, service-object-patterns
- Beads tracking: BD-abc7

**Control Flow**:
Use a LOOP node for test-driven development:
  - Max iterations: 3
  - Exit condition: All tests passing
  - Children:
    1. Run RSpec tests for PaymentService
    2. IF tests failing → Fix code
    3. IF tests passing → Break loop

**Deliverable**:
- PaymentService implemented with passing tests
- Iterations logged in state file
- Final status: tests passing or max iterations reached

Delegate to control-flow-manager for LOOP execution.

Handoff to control-flow-manager:

{
  "type": "LOOP",
  "node_id": "tdd-payment-service",
  "max_iterations": 3,
  "exit_on": "condition_true",
  "timeout_seconds": 600,
  "condition": {
    "type": "test_result",
    "key": "payment_service_spec.status",
    "operator": "equals",
    "value": "passing"
  },
  "children": [
    {
      "type": "ACTION",
      "skill": "rspec_run",
      "target": "spec/services/payment_service_spec.rb",
      "agent": "RSpec Specialist"
    },
    {
      "type": "CONDITIONAL",
      "condition": {
        "type": "test_result",
        "key": "payment_service_spec.status",
        "operator": "equals",
        "value": "failing"
      },
      "true_branch": {
        "type": "ACTION",
        "skill": "fix_failing_specs",
        "context": "Payment service implementation",
        "agent": "Backend Lead"
      },
      "false_branch": {
        "type": "ACTION",
        "skill": "break_loop"
      }
    }
  ]
}

After LOOP completes:

# Check LOOP results
LOOP_STATUS=$(cat .claude/reactree-state.jsonl | \
  jq -r "select(.type == \"loop_complete\" and .node_id == \"tdd-payment-service\") | .status" | \
  tail -1)

if [ "$LOOP_STATUS" = "success" ]; then
  echo "✅ TDD cycle completed: Tests passing"
  bd close $SERVICE_ID --reason "PaymentService implementation complete with passing tests"
elif [ "$LOOP_STATUS" = "max_iterations" ]; then
  echo "⚠️  TDD cycle incomplete: Max iterations reached with failing tests"
  bd update $SERVICE_ID --status blocked
  bd comment $SERVICE_ID "Tests still failing after 3 iterations, needs manual review"
else
  echo "❌ TDD cycle failed: LOOP error or timeout"
  bd update $SERVICE_ID --status blocked
fi

Never Do

Never proceed to next phase without completing current phase
Never skip quality gates when enabled (unless user explicitly overrides)
Never create code without beads task tracking (if beads available)
Never delegate without clear task specification and skill context
Never assume specialist completed work without verification
Never hardcode domain knowledge (rely on domain skills)
Never assume skills exist (always check skill inventory first)
Never assume authentication helper names (always verify with rg or rails-context-verification skill)
Never use route helpers without checking rails routes output
Never copy patterns across namespaces without verification (e.g., Admin vs Client authentication)
Never assume instance variables exist without verifying controller sets them
Never delegate code generation without passing verified context

Graceful Degradation

If beads not installed:

Warn user
Continue workflow without beads tracking
Suggest installing beads for better experience

If skills not available:

Log which skills are missing
Proceed with agent's general Rails knowledge
Suggest adding relevant skills for consistency

If quality gates fail:

Block progression
Provide detailed failure report
Offer retry or manual override options
