Use when creating new specialist agent definitions for codingbuddy. Covers JSON schema design, expertise definition, system prompt authoring, and differentiation from existing agents.

Use when rendering multi-agent debate, discussion, or review output in the terminal. Formats agent opinions with severity badges, colored identifiers, evidence blocks, and consensus indicators using box drawing characters.

Use when rendering a multi-agent discussion as a TUI panel. Defines terminal panel layout, component architecture, real-time streaming behavior, and integration points for displaying AgentOpinion data with bordered boxes, severity badges, and consensus indicators.

Use when working on long tasks that span multiple sessions, when context compaction is a concern, or when decisions from PLAN mode need to persist through ACT and EVAL modes.

Use when managing AI session costs, setting budget limits, or preventing cost overruns in autonomous workflows like taskMaestro, autopilot, ralph loops, and parallel agent execution. Defines cost tracking protocol, threshold alerts, and auto-pause mechanism.

Use when a bug or feature request belongs in an upstream, parent, or dependency repository rather than the current one. Guides detection, mapping, and safe cross-repo issue creation with user confirmation.

Use before deploying to staging or production. Covers pre-deploy validation, environment verification, rollback planning, health checks, and post-deploy monitoring.

Use when modernizing legacy code or migrating outdated patterns to current best practices. Covers assessment, strangler fig pattern, incremental migration, and risk management.

Execute multiple GitHub issues in parallel using taskMaestro worktrees with AUTO mode workers.

Convert a PLAN into GitHub issues with native sub-issue hierarchy. Use when a plan is ready to be registered as deployable, independent work items. Creates self-contained issues where each sub-issue can be independently branched, PRed, and merged.

Use when writing AI coding rules for codingbuddy that must work consistently across multiple AI tools (Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, GitHub Copilot, Amazon Q, Kiro). Covers rule clarity, trigger design, and multi-tool compatibility.

Follow every step in order. Stop and report if any step fails.

Orchestrate parallel Claude Code instances across tmux panes with git worktree isolation. Provides wave-transition automation, readiness detection via capture-pane polling, and trust/terms prompt auto-handling.

Use before shipping, creating PRs, or merging to enforce minimum test coverage thresholds. Covers line, branch, and function coverage. Supports vitest, jest, c8, and istanbul. Blocks shipping when coverage falls below configurable thresholds (default 80%).

Background knowledge for tmux session, window, and pane lifecycle management, layout control, inter-pane communication, styling, and troubleshooting. Used by taskMaestro and parallel execution workflows.

Architecture guide using Next.js App Router's Parallel Routes for Widget-Slot pattern. Separates static layouts from dynamic widgets to achieve separation of concerns, fault isolation, and plug-and-play development.
