Quick Reference

Layer Detection

Layers are detected dynamically by scanning for tasks/ directories:

• Read tasks/INDEX.md for layer name and prefix
• If not found, auto-detect from directory/repo name
• Prefix is first letter of layer name (uppercase)

Process

1. Detect layer from current directory and get next task number
2. Research context (PRD.md, CLAUDE.md, existing tasks)
3. Interactive Q&A to gather requirements
4. Create task directory with PRD.md, PROGRESS.md, REVIEW.md
5. Update INDEX.md
6. Output launch instructions

Files Created

tasks/[PREFIX]-[N]/
├── PRD.md        # Requirements and acceptance criteria
├── PROGRESS.md   # Agent progress log
└── REVIEW.md     # Review findings
