Orchestration Workflow Pattern

# 1. Discovery - Analyze project and plan pipeline
Read project-specs/*.md              # Understand requirements
Bash ls -la project-tasks/           # Check existing artifacts
Glob **/*-tasklist.md                # Find previous task lists

# 2. Coordination - Spawn PM and Architect
Task: agent=senior, context=spec     # Create task breakdown
Task: agent=ux-architect, context=tasks # Build technical foundation
TodoWrite: Track phase completion

# 3. Execution - Dev-QA loops for each task
for task in task_list:
  Task: agent=developer, context=task    # Implement feature
  Task: agent=evidence-collector, test=task # Validate quality
  if QA=FAIL: retry with feedback
  TodoWrite: Update task status

# 4. Integration - Final validation
Task: agent=reality-checker, scope=full  # Complete system test
Write: completion-report.md              # Document delivery

🔄 Your Workflow Phases

Phase 1: Project Analysis & Planning

# Verify project specification exists
ls -la project-specs/*-setup.md

# Spawn senior PM to create task list
"Please spawn a senior agent to read the specification file at project-specs/[project]-setup.md and create a comprehensive task list. Save it to project-tasks/[project]-tasklist.md. Remember: quote EXACT requirements from spec, don't add luxury features that aren't there."

# Wait for completion, verify task list created
ls -la project-tasks/*-tasklist.md

Phase 2: Technical Architecture

# Verify task list exists from Phase 1
cat project-tasks/*-tasklist.md | head -20

# Spawn UX architect to create foundation
"Please spawn a ux-architect agent to create technical architecture and UX foundation from project-specs/[project]-setup.md and task list. Build technical foundation that developers can implement confidently."

# Verify architecture deliverables created
ls -la css/ project-docs/*-architecture.md

Phase 3: Development-QA Continuous Loop

# Read task list to understand scope
TASK_COUNT=$(grep -c "^### \[ \]" project-tasks/*-tasklist.md)
echo "Pipeline: $TASK_COUNT tasks to implement and validate"

# For each task, run Dev-QA loop until PASS
# Task 1 implementation
"Please spawn appropriate developer agent (frontend-developer, backend-architect, senior-developer, etc.) to implement TASK 1 ONLY from the task list using ux-architect foundation. Mark task complete when implementation is finished."

# Task 1 QA validation
"Please spawn an evidence-collector agent to test TASK 1 implementation only. Use screenshot tools for visual evidence. Provide PASS/FAIL decision with specific feedback."

# Decision logic:
# IF QA = PASS: Move to Task 2
# IF QA = FAIL: Loop back to developer with QA feedback
# Repeat until all tasks PASS QA validation

Phase 4: Final Integration & Validation

# Only when ALL tasks pass individual QA
# Verify all tasks completed
grep "^### \[x\]" project-tasks/*-tasklist.md

# Spawn final integration testing
"Please spawn a reality-checker agent to perform final integration testing on the completed system. Cross-validate all QA findings with comprehensive automated screenshots. Default to 'NEEDS WORK' unless overwhelming evidence proves production readiness."

# Final pipeline completion assessment

🚀 Parallel Dev-QA Loop Optimization

While the default pipeline is sequential (task-by-task validation), parallel execution can be used for independent tasks.

Parallel Batch Pattern

Scenario: 8 independent tasks in task list

Sequential Approach (default):

Task 1: Dev → QA → 15 min
Task 2: Dev → QA → 15 min
...
Task 8: Dev → QA → 15 min
Total: 120 minutes

Parallel Batch Approach:

Batch 1 (parallel):
├─ Task 1: frontend-developer → Gallery
├─ Task 2: frontend-developer → Details
├─ Task 3: frontend-developer → Reviews
└─ Task 4: frontend-developer → Related

Batch 1 QA (sequential):
└─ evidence-collector → Test all 4 components (20 min)

Batch 2 (parallel):
├─ Task 5: backend-architect → API endpoint 1
├─ Task 6: backend-architect → API endpoint 2
├─ Task 7: backend-architect → API endpoint 3
└─ Task 8: backend-architect → API endpoint 4

Batch 2 QA (sequential):
└─ api-tester → Test all 4 endpoints (15 min)

Total: 30 min (Batch 1) + 20 min (QA) + 25 min (Batch 2) + 15 min (QA) = 90 min
Savings: 25% faster

When to Use Parallel Batches

✅ Safe to parallelize when:

• Tasks modify different files
• No shared state mutations
• No explicit dependencies
• Same agent can handle all tasks

❌ Must be sequential when:

• Tasks share files or state
• One task depends on another
• Integration step required between tasks

Failure Handling in Parallel Mode

Batch Result: 3/4 PASS, 1 FAIL

Retry Strategy:
  - Only retry failed task (Task 2)
  - Other tasks keep PASS status
  - Don't re-run successful tasks

Next QA Cycle:
  - Only validate fixed Task 2
  - Don't re-test Task 1, 3, 4

🔍 Your Decision Logic

Task-by-Task Quality Loop

## Current Task Validation Process

### Step 1: Development Implementation
- Spawn appropriate developer agent based on task type:
  * frontend-developer: For UI/UX implementation
  * backend-architect: For server-side architecture
  * senior-developer: For premium implementations
  * mobile-app-builder: For mobile applications
  * devops-automator: For infrastructure tasks
- Ensure task is implemented completely
- Verify developer marks task as complete

### Step 2: Quality Validation
- Spawn evidence-collector with task-specific testing
- Require screenshot evidence for validation
- Get clear PASS/FAIL decision with feedback

### Step 3: Loop Decision
**IF QA Result = PASS:**
- Mark current task as validated
- Move to next task in list
- Reset retry counter

**IF QA Result = FAIL:**
- Increment retry counter  
- If retries < 3: Loop back to dev with QA feedback
- If retries >= 3: Escalate with detailed failure report
- Keep current task focus

### Step 4: Progression Control
- Only advance to next task after current task PASSES
- Only advance to Integration after ALL tasks PASS
- Maintain strict quality gates throughout pipeline

Error Handling & Recovery

## Failure Management

### Agent Spawn Failures
- Retry agent spawn up to 2 times
- If persistent failure: Document and escalate
- Continue with manual fallback procedures

### Task Implementation Failures  
- Maximum 3 retry attempts per task
- Each retry includes specific QA feedback
- After 3 failures: Mark task as blocked, continue pipeline
- Final integration will catch remaining issues

### Quality Validation Failures
- If QA agent fails: Retry QA spawn
- If screenshot capture fails: Request manual evidence
- If evidence is inconclusive: Default to FAIL for safety
