Creates isolated Git worktrees for feature branches with prioritized directory selection, gitignore safety checks, auto project setup for Node/Python/Rust/Go, and baseline verification.
Executes implementation plans in current session by dispatching fresh subagents per independent task, with two-stage reviews: spec compliance then code quality.

What: Break complex tasks into smaller, manageable subtasks.
When to use:
How to apply:
Example:
Task: "Create a technical blog post about OAuth 2.0"
Decomposition:
1. Research Phase
- Gather OAuth 2.0 specifications
- Find common implementation examples
- Identify security best practices
2. Structure Phase
- Outline main sections
- Plan code examples
- Design diagrams/visuals
3. Writing Phase
- Write introduction
- Write technical sections
- Write conclusion/CTA
4. Review Phase
- Technical accuracy check
- Code example testing
- Readability review
What: Use different "experts" for creation vs. validation. Never use the same expert to both create and verify.
When to use:
How to apply:
Example:
Creator: "Expert Technical Writer" produces article
Reviewer: "Expert Security Engineer" verifies OAuth claims
Reviewer: "Expert Developer" tests code examples
NOT: Same expert writes AND reviews their own work
What: Build explicit verification steps into the task, especially for error-prone outputs.
When to use:
How to apply:
Example:
Step 1: Calculate discount price
Step 2: VERIFY - recalculate from opposite direction
Step 3: If mismatch, identify error and recalculate
Step 4: Only proceed when both methods match
What: Never assume unverified facts. Disclaim uncertainty explicitly.
When to use:
How to apply:
Disclaimer templates:
"Note: This figure is approximate and should be verified."
"I don't have access to [specific data]. Please provide or verify."
"This is based on general patterns; your specific case may differ."
What: Spawn domain-specific personas for complex subtasks.
When to use:
Available expert archetypes:
| Expert | Use For |
|---|---|
| Expert Writer | Content, copy, documentation |
| Expert Mathematician | Calculations, proofs, statistics |
| Expert Python | Python code, data analysis |
| Expert Security | Security review, threat modeling |
| Expert Architect | System design, trade-offs |
| Expert Reviewer | Quality assurance, error-finding |
| Expert Strategist | Planning, prioritization |
How to apply:
"For this subtask, adopt the persona of Expert [X].
Your expertise includes [specific areas].
Focus exclusively on [your assigned task].
You have no memory of previous context—all needed information is below."
**Meta-Prompt Generator**
I'll help you create an effective, verifiable prompt.
**Questions:**
1. **What is the main goal?**
What should this prompt help someone accomplish?
2. **What's the expected output?**
(e.g., document, code, analysis, decision)
3. **How important is accuracy?**
- Critical (factual, technical, or high-stakes)
- Moderate (useful but not mission-critical)
- Flexible (creative, exploratory)
4. **Any specific constraints?**
(length, format, tone, tools available)
If information is missing, ask ONE clarifying question at a time.
After gathering requirements, analyze internally:
| Complexity | Indicators | Approach |
|---|---|---|
| Simple | Single step, one output | Direct prompt, no decomposition |
| Moderate | 2-3 steps, clear sequence | Light decomposition, one expert |
| Complex | 4+ steps, dependencies | Full decomposition, multiple experts |
| Task Type | Creator Expert | Reviewer Expert |
|---|---|---|
| Technical writing | Expert Writer | Expert Engineer |
| Code generation | Expert Developer | Expert Reviewer |
| Analysis | Expert Analyst | Expert Strategist |
| Creative | Expert Creative | Expert Editor |
For the task, identify where verification is needed:
| Step | Risk | Verification Method |
|---|---|---|
| [step] | [what could go wrong] | [how to verify] |
You MUST return the generated prompt in this exact format:

"Create a prompt to help me write API documentation"
# API Documentation Generator
## Role
You are an Expert Technical Writer specializing in API documentation.
Your documentation will be reviewed by an Expert Developer for accuracy.
When uncertain about behavior, note "Verify with implementation" rather than guessing.
## Context
Creating comprehensive API documentation for developers.
Documentation should be usable without reading source code.
## Instructions
### Phase 1: API Discovery
1. List all endpoints with methods (GET, POST, etc.)
2. Document request/response schemas
3. Identify authentication requirements
4. **Verification:** Cross-reference with OpenAPI spec if available
### Phase 2: Documentation Writing
1. Write endpoint descriptions (what it does, not how)
2. Create request examples with all parameters
3. Create response examples for success and error cases
4. Document rate limits and constraints
5. **Verification:** Each example should be valid JSON/code
### Phase 3: Review Cycle
Expert Developer reviews for:
- Technical accuracy of examples
- Missing edge cases
- Unclear descriptions
### Expert Assignments
- **Expert Technical Writer:** Creates documentation prose
- **Expert Developer:** Validates examples and accuracy
## Constraints
- Use consistent terminology throughout
- Examples must be syntactically valid
- Note any undocumented or unclear behaviors
- Accuracy: Mark assumptions with "Assumed behavior - verify"
## Output Format
```markdown
# [Endpoint Name]
**Method:** [HTTP method]
**Path:** [/api/path]
**Auth:** [Required/Optional/None]
## Description
[What this endpoint does]
## Request
[Parameters, body schema, headers]
## Response
[Success and error responses with examples]
## Notes
[Rate limits, deprecation, related endpoints]
---
## Error Handling
### Unclear Requirements
```markdown
I need a bit more clarity to create an effective prompt.
**Specifically:**
[Question about the unclear part]
[Offer 2-3 options if applicable]
This task has [N] distinct components. I recommend:
1. **Split into multiple prompts** - One per major component
2. **Simplify scope** - Focus on [core element] first
3. **Proceed as-is** - Full complexity, longer prompt
Which approach works best for you?
If techniques don't fit the task:
ℹ️ **Note on Techniques**
This task is straightforward enough that some techniques
don't apply:
- Task Decomposition: Not needed (single step)
- Fresh Eyes: [Explain why/why not]
- Specialized Experts: Not needed (single domain)
The generated prompt focuses on clarity and verification instead.
Generate prompts for content creation based on anatomy guides.
Transform brainstorming insights into actionable prompts.
Enhance PRD generation with meta-prompting techniques.
Generate implementation prompts with built-in verification.
Meta-prompt → Decompose → Assign experts → Build verification → Generate
Otherwise → Vague prompts → Hallucination → Unreliable output
Structure breeds reliability. Verification breeds accuracy. Experts breed quality.
