- - Plan ID — If not provided, generate `YYYYMMDD-kebab-case`. If `plan_id` provided → validate existence of `docs/plan/{plan_id}/plan.yaml` → continue_plan; else → new_task
- - Gray Areas Detection:

- - Identify focus_areas from request keywords.
- - Generate clarification options if needed.
- - Ask user for clarification if gray areas exist, architectural decisions, design requirements etc.
- - Complexity Assessment:

- - MEDIUM: multiple files, new patterns, moderate scope. Some blast radius.
- - HIGH: architectural change, multiple domains, unknown patterns. Significant blast radius.

-- Collect & Merge:
- - Gather `learnings` from all completed tasks in the wave including `docs/plan/{plan_id}/context_envelope.json` data.
- - Merge: unify duplicates across agents and planner by content (facts, patterns, gotchas).
- - Cross-reference: when a `gotcha` matches a `failure_mode` symptom, link them.
- - Promote: `gotchas` recurring ≥ 3× across plans → `patterns`. `failure_modes` recurring ≥ 2× → elevate severity.
-- Memory:
- - Persist deduped `facts`, `patterns`, `gotchas`, `failure_modes`, `decisions`, `conventions` to memory tool.
-- Context Envelope:
- - Always delegate to `gem-documentation-writer` with `task_type: update_context_envelope` to refresh `docs/plan/{plan_id}/context_envelope.json` with merged learnings from the wave.
- - Pass structured `learnings` object in task definition (facts, patterns, gotchas, failure_modes, decisions, conventions) for the doc-writer to merge into envelope fields.
- - After write-back, update in-memory cache with the new envelope to avoid stale reads in subsequent waves.
-- Conventions:
- - If `conventions` found: delegate to `gem-documentation-writer` → create/update `AGENTS.md`
-- Decisions:
- - If `decisions` found: delegate to `gem-documentation-writer` → create/update `PRD`

- - If `patterns` with confidence ≥ 0.85 AND non-trivial: delegate to `gem-skill-creator`.

- - `feature`: new, add, implement, build, create
- - `refactor`: simplify, clean up, restructure, extract, rename
- - `docs`: document, readme, comment, write docs, update docs
- - `config`: configure, setup, install, config, settings
- - `typo`: typo, spelling, grammar, rename trivial
- - `research`: research, investigate, explore, analyze, compare, evaluate, explain, understand
- - `unknown`: none of the above match
- - If `unknown`: confidence ≥ 0.85 → default to `feature`; confidence < 0.85 → escalate to user with clarification

- MEDIUM: multiple files, new patterns, moderate scope. Some blast radius.

-- Execute Waves:
- - Get unique waves sorted.
- - Wave > 1: include contracts from task definitions.
- - Get pending (deps = completed, status = pending, wave = current).
- - Filter conflicts_with: same-file tasks serialize.

- - Designer validation is owned by the planner: `flags.requires_design_validation` is set during planning and is the single source of truth.
- - Only delegate to `gem-designer` / `gem-designer-mobile` when `flags.requires_design_validation == true`; otherwise skip designer validation and continue.
- - If designer validation fails → mark task as `needs_revision`, append design findings to task definition, and flag for re-design.
- - Synthesize statuses (completed / escalate / needs_replan). Persist all to `plan.yaml`.

-- Quick Assessment (single pass):
- - Plan ID — If not provided, generate `YYYYMMDD-kebab-case`. If `plan_id` provided → validate existence of `docs/plan/{plan_id}/plan.yaml` → continue_plan; else → new_task
+- Quick Assessment:
- Read all provided external/error/context refs.
- Detect task intent, with explicit user intent overriding inferred signals.
- - Complexity — Based on scope:
- - LOW: single file/small change, known patterns. Minimal blast radius.
- - MEDIUM: multiple files, new patterns, moderate scope. Some blast radius.
- - HIGH: architectural change, multiple domains, unknown patterns. Significant blast radius.
+ - Plan ID
+ - If `plan_id` provided and `docs/plan/{plan_id}/plan.yaml` exists → continue_plan.
+ - If `plan_id` provided but missing/invalid → escalate or create new plan only with explicit assumption.
+ - If no `plan_id` → generate `YYYYMMDD-kebab-case` and treat as new_task.
+ - Read scoped memory from repo/session/global only for relevant `facts`, `patterns`, `gotchas`, `failure_modes`, `decisions`, and `conventions`.
- Gray Areas — Identify ambiguities, missing scope, decision blockers.
- - Focus Areas — Extract from request keywords.
+ - Complexity — Classify by scope, uncertainty, and blast radius:
+ - TRIVIAL: single obvious mechanical edit; no plan artifact; exact fix known.
+ - LOW: small bounded task; may involve 1–2 files or simple subagent help; known pattern; minimal blast radius.
+ - MEDIUM: multiple files/modules; new/changed pattern; moderate uncertainty; integration or regression risk.
+ - HIGH: architecture/cross-domain change; API/schema/auth/data-flow/migration impact; high uncertainty or broad regressions possible.
- Clarification Gate — Only ask user if ambiguity exists AND is a decision_blocker. Document assumptions for non-blocking gray areas and proceed.

+- continue_plan + feedback → load plan → Phase 2
+- new_task → Phase 2
### Phase 2: Planning
-- Seed Memory:
- - Read memory from repo/ session/ global for durable cross-session `facts`, `patterns`, `gotchas`, `failure_modes`, `decisions`, `conventions`.
- - Package relevant entries into `memory_seed` object to pass to planner for envelope seeding.
-- Create Plan:
- - Delegate to `gem-planner` with `task_clarifications`, all available context, and the `memory_seed`.
+- Complexity=TRIVIAL:
+ - Create a tiny in-memory checklist.
+ - Goto Phase 3.
+- Complexity=LOW:
+ - Create a minimal in-memory plan using relevant context, and the `memory_seed`: with tasks, deps, wave, status, assignments, and optional `conflicts_with`.
+ - Goto Phase 3.
+- Complexity=MEDIUM/HIGH:
+ - Delegate to `gem-planner` with `task_clarifications`, relevant context, and the `memory_seed`.
- Validate created plan:
- - Complexity=LOW: No validation required; proceed to Phase 3.
- Complexity=MEDIUM: delegate to `gem-reviewer(plan)`.
- - Complexity=HIGH: delegate to `gem-reviewer(plan)`. Run `gem-critic(plan)` only when `task_type` is `architecture`, `contract_change`, or `breaking_change`.
- - If validation fails: - Failed + replanable → delegate to `gem-planner` with findings for replan/ adjustments. - Failed + not replanable → escalate to user with feedback and required input for next steps.
- - Read Context Envelope (canonical cache): Read `docs/plan/{plan_id}/context_envelope.json`. All delegation snapshots derive from this copy.
-
-### Phase 3: Execution Loop
-
-Delegate ALL waves/tasks without pausing for approval between them.
-
-- Wave Execution Block:
- - Execute: Get waves sorted; include contracts for Wave > 1; get pending tasks (deps=completed, status=pending, wave=current); filter `conflicts_with`; delegate to subagents (max 2 concurrent).
-- Integrate: FAST_TRACK → skip Enrich; else delegate `gem-reviewer(wave scope)` for integration + security; if fails → `gem-debugger`; confidence ≥ 0.85 → delegate `gem-implementer` with diagnosis → re-verify; confidence < 0.85 → escalate; if `flags.requires_design_validation` or prior `needs_revision` → delegate designer; if fails → mark `needs_revision`, append findings, re-delegate for re-design.
- - Synthesize statuses (completed/escalate/needs_replan). Persist to `plan.yaml`.
-- Enrich: Merge/dedupe `learnings` with envelope; promote signals (`gotchas` ≥3× → `patterns`, `failure_modes` ≥2× → raise severity, patterns confidence ≥0.85 → persistence); delegate `gem-documentation-writer` with `task_type: update_context_envelope`; persist reusable items confidence ≥0.80; update docs on recurrence (`conventions` ≥3× → `AGENTS.md`, `decisions` ≥3× → PRD`); create skills for patterns confidence ≥0.90 via `gem-skill-creator`.
-- Loop: Enrichment complete → next wave; Blocked → Escalate; Present status; All done → Phase 4.
+ - Complexity=HIGH: delegate to `gem-reviewer(plan)`. Run `gem-critic(plan)` only when task type is `architecture`, `contract_change`, or `breaking_change`.
+ - If validation fails:
+ - Failed + replanable → delegate to `gem-planner` with findings for replan/ adjustments.
+ - Failed + not replanable → escalate to user with feedback and required input for next steps.
+
+### Phase 3: Execution
+
+#### Phase 3A: Execution Context Setup
+
+- Complexity=TRIVIAL:
+ - Delegate directly to the single most suitable agent with a tiny checklist.
+- Complexity=LOW:
+ - Execute from the in-memory plan with suitable subagents from `available_agents`.
+- Complexity=MEDIUM/HIGH:
+ - Read `docs/plan/{plan_id}/context_envelope.json` once and keep it as canonical in-memory context.
+ - Read `docs/plan/{plan_id}/plan.yaml` for current status, dependencies, blockers, and todo list.
+ - Do not re-read context files during execution unless recovering from lost state or resolving contradiction/staleness.
+
+#### Phase 3B: Wave Execution Loop
+
+For Complexity=LOW/MEDIUM/HIGH, execute all unblocked waves/tasks without approval pauses.
+
+- Select Work:
+ - Execute: Get waves sorted; include contracts for Wave > 1; get pending tasks (deps=completed, status=pending, wave=current); Respect `conflicts_with` constraints.
+- Execute Wave:
+ - Delegate to subagents from `available_agents` (max 2 concurrent).
+ - Complexity=TRIVIAL: no context envelope; no memory seed unless one critical known constraint/gotcha applies.
+ - Complexity=LOW: use `memory_seed` as a small inline context snapshot; do not create/read `context_envelope.json`.
+ - Complexity=MEDIUM/HIGH: use `context_envelope.json` as canonical durable context; `memory_seed` may be used only as planner input to create/update the envelope.
+- Integration Gate:
+ - Complexity=MEDIUM/HIGH:
+ - delegate to `gem-reviewer(wave scope)` for integration check.
+ - Persist task/ wave status to `plan.yaml`
+ - Synthesize statuses (`completed`, `blocked`, `needs_replan`, `failed`, `escalate`). Present concise status without pausing for approval.
+- Persist reusable items confidence ≥0.90 to the correct target:
+ - product decisions → delegate to `gem-documentation-writer` → PRD
+ - technical decisions/conventions → delegate to `gem-documentation-writer` → AGENTS.md or architecture docs
+ - patterns/gotchas/failure_modes → delegate to `gem-documentation-writer` → memory/context envelope
+ - repeatable executable workflows → delegate to `gem-skill-creator` → skills
+- Loop:
+ - Remaining unblocked waves/tasks → next wave.
+ - Blocked or not replanable → escalate.
+ - Scope grows → reclassify complexity and replan if needed.
+ - All done → Phase 4.

#### Failure Handling
When a failure occurs, classify it as one of the following failure types and apply the matching action. If lint_rule_recommendations from debugger→delegate to implementer for ESLint rules.
-| Failure Type | Retry Limit | Action |
-| ------------------- | ----------: | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
-| `transient` | 3 | Retry the same operation. If it still fails after 3 attempts, reclassify as `escalate`. |
-| `fixable` | 3 | Run debugger diagnosis, apply a fix, then re-verify. Repeat up to 3 times. |
-| `needs_replan` | 3 | Delegate to `gem-planner` to create a new plan, then continue from the revised plan. |
-| `escalate` | 0 | Mark the task as blocked and escalate to the user with the reason and required input. |
-| `flaky` | 1 | Log the issue, mark the task complete, and add the `flaky` flag. |
-| `test_bug` | 1 | Send tester evidence to debugger; fix test/fixture only if app behavior is valid. |
-| `regression` | 1 | Send to debugger for diagnosis, then to implementer for a fix, then re-verify. |
-| `new_failure` | 1 | Send to debugger for diagnosis, then to implementer for a fix, then re-verify. |
-| `platform_specific` | 0 | Log the platform and issue, skip the test, and continue the wave. |
-| `needs_approval` | 0 | Persist approval state in `plan.yaml`, present to user with context. Approved → re-delegate, denied → blocked. |

-> Self-Learning Multi-agent orchestration framework for spec-driven development and automated verification.
+> Spec-driven multi-agent orchestration for software development, verification, debugging, and reusable project knowledge.
-**TLDR:** Gem Team is a multi-agent framework that orchestrates LLM agents for software development tasks. It emphasizes spec-driven workflows with persistent learnings, built-in verification loops, knowledge-driven execution, and token efficiency.
+**TL;DR:** Gem Team installs a coordinated set of specialist AI agents for planning, implementation, review, debugging, testing, documentation, design, DevOps, and skill extraction. It is designed for structured software delivery: clarify the goal, discover existing patterns, plan the work, execute in controlled waves, verify results, and persist useful learnings.
-This framework is shaped by real-world usage patterns, battle-tested and refined through countless hours of hands-on development workflows. Crafted from years of personal experience
+## Quick Start
-**Tip:** Customize gem-team behavior by creating a `.gem-team.yaml` file. See [Configuration](#configuration) for available settings.
-
-## 🚀 Quick Start
+Install [APM](https://microsoft.github.io/apm/) first:
```bash
-apm install -g mubaidr/gem-team
-```
+# macOS / Linux
+curl -sSL https://aka.ms/apm-unix | sh
-APM auto-detects your tools and deploys gem-team agents everywhere — VS Code, Claude Code, Cursor, OpenCode, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, Windsurf, and GitHub Copilot CLI. See the [compatible tools table](#compatible-tools) for details.
+# Windows PowerShell
+irm https://aka.ms/apm-windows | iex
-See [all supported installation options](#installation) below.
+# Verify
+apm --version
+```
----
+Install Gem Team into your current project:
-## 📚 Contents
+```bash
+apm install mubaidr/gem-team --target copilot,claude,cursor,opencode,codex,gemini,windsurf
+```

+Or install for one target only:
----
+```bash
+apm install mubaidr/gem-team --target copilot
+```
-## Why Gem Team?
+After the first install, commit the generated APM files that belong to your repo, especially `apm.yml`, `apm.lock.yaml`, and the generated harness directories such as `.github/`, `.claude/`, `.cursor/`, `.opencode/`, `.codex/`, `.gemini/`, or `.windsurf/`. Do **not** commit `apm_modules/`.
+
+> APM can auto-detect targets from existing harness directories, but explicit `--target` is recommended for predictable installs and fresh repositories.
-### Performance

-### Quality & Security
+## Why Gem Team?
-- **Higher Quality** — Specialized framework agents + TDD + verification gates + contract-first
-- **Built-in Security** — OWASP scanning, secrets/PII detection on critical tasks
-- **Resilient** — Pre-mortem analysis, failure handling, auto-replanning
-- **Accessibility-First** — WCAG compliance validated at spec and runtime layers
-- **Safe DevOps** — Idempotent operations, health checks, mandatory approval gates
-- **Constructive Critique** — gem-critic challenges assumptions, finds edge cases
+### Better delivery flow
-### Intelligence
+- **Spec-driven execution** — turns goals into scoped plans, tasks, checks, and evidence.
+- **Wave-based execution** — runs independent work in parallel while serializing true dependencies.
+- **Verification loops** — uses reviewers, testers, critics, and debuggers before final output.
+- **Resumable plans** — plan IDs, task artifacts, and context files make long tasks easier to pause, inspect, and continue.
-- **Source Verified** — Every factual claim cites its source; no guesswork
-- **Knowledge-Driven** — Prioritized sources (PRD → codebase → AGENTS.md → Context7 → docs)
-- **Established Patterns** — Prefers established library/framework conventions over custom implementations
-- **Continuous Learning** — Memory tool persists patterns, gotchas, user preferences across sessions/ repo etc
-- **Skills & Guidelines** — Built-in special skill & guidelines (design-guidelines, debugger etc)
-- **Auto-Skills** — Agents extract reusable SKILL.md files from successful tasks
+### Better code quality
-### Process
+- **Specialist agents** — planning, implementation, debugging, review, testing, documentation, design, and DevOps are handled by focused roles.
+- **Pattern reuse** — researchers inspect the codebase first so agents follow existing architecture instead of inventing new patterns.
+- **Contract-first mindset** — encourages requirements, API contracts, tests, and acceptance criteria before implementation.
+- **Security-aware reviews** — reviewer and DevOps roles check for common security, secrets, PII, and deployment risks.
-- **Plan-Driven** — Multi-step refinement defines "what" before "how"
-- **Contract-First** — Contract tests written before implementation
-- **Verified-Plan** — Complex tasks: Plan → Verification → Critic
-- **Traceable** — Self-documenting IDs link requirements → tasks → tests → evidence
-- **Intent vs. Compliance** — Shifts the burden from writing "perfect prompts" to enforcing strict, YAML-based approval gates
-- **Diagnose-then-Fix** — gem-debugger diagnoses → gem-implementer fixes → re-verifies
-- **Resumable** — Execution can be paused and resumed without losing context
-- **Scriptable** — Use scripts for deterministic, repeatable, or bulk work (data processing, mechanical transforms, migrations/codemods, generated outputs, audits/reports, validation checks, reproduction helpers)
-- **Fast-Path Modes** — MICRO_TRACK (trivial typo fixes) and FAST_TRACK (low-complexity tasks) skip phases for efficiency
-- **Task Classification** — Automatic 7-type classification (bug-fix, feature, refactor, docs, config, typo, research) with complexity assessment (LOW/MEDIUM/HIGH)
-- **Smart Routing** — Research tasks skip to output; bug-fix/typo/docs with LOW complexity use FAST_TRACK; trivial typos use MICRO_TRACK
-- **Context Envelope** — Progressive cache enriched after each wave; all agents receive snapshot for consistent context
+### Better context management
-### Token Efficiency
+- **Context envelope** — stores the active project summary, constraints, architecture notes, task registry, prior decisions, and reusable findings.
+- **File-based knowledge** — important outputs are written to durable files instead of being trapped in a single chat turn.
+- **Skill extraction** — high-confidence repeated workflows can become reusable `SKILL.md` playbooks.
+- **Memory discipline** — durable learnings are persisted only when useful and sufficiently reliable.
-Optimized for reduced LLM token consumption without quality loss:
+### Better cost control
-- **Concise Output** — No preamble, no meta commentary, no verbose explanations
-- **File-Based** — Researcher/Planner save to YAML files (for reusable context)
-- **Context Caching & Memory Management** — Self-validating cache prevents redundant work across sessions and agents
+- **Model routing** — routine agents can use a fast cost-efficient model while planner, debugger, critic, and reviewer roles can use stronger reasoning models.
+- **Reduced redundant reading** — the context envelope and research digest prevent repeated source reads.
+- **Concise agent outputs** — agents are instructed to return actionable artifacts rather than verbose commentary.
-### Design
+## Core Concepts
-- **Design Agents** — Dedicated agents for web and mobile UI/UX with anti-"AI slop" guidelines for distinctive aesthetics
-- **Mobile Agents** — Native mobile implementation (React Native, Flutter) + iOS/Android testing
+### System-IQ multiplier
----
+Gem Team wraps your chosen model with a disciplined delivery system: task classification, planning, delegation, verification, debugging, and learning. The goal is to improve the reliability of agentic software work without depending on a single long prompt.
-## Core Concepts
+### Knowledge layers
-### The "System-IQ" Multiplier
+| Layer | Location | Purpose |
+| :----------------- | :------------------------------- | :------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| **PRD** | `docs/PRD.yaml` | Product requirements and approved decisions. |
+| **AGENTS.md** | `AGENTS.md` | Stable project conventions, rules, and agent instructions. |
+| **Plan artifacts** | `docs/plan/{plan_id}/` | Per-task plans, context envelopes, task registries, evidence, and results. |
+| **Memory** | Memory tool / configured backend | Durable facts, decisions, gotchas, patterns, and failure modes. |
+| **Skills** | `docs/skills/` | Reusable procedures extracted from successful repeated workflows. |
+| **Derived docs** | `docs/knowledge/` | Reference notes, external docs, summaries, and research outputs. |
-Raw reasoning isn't enough in single-pass chat. Gem-Team wraps your preferred LLM in a rigid framework with verification-first loops, fundamentally boosting its effective capability on SWE tasks.
+## Workflow
-### Knowledge Layers
+### Architecture Flow
-| Type | Storage | 1-liner |
-| :--------------- | :---------------- | :------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
-| **PRD** | `docs/PRD.yaml` | Product requirements spec — drives agent planning, implementation, and verification |
-| **AGENTS.md** | `AGENTS.md` | Static conventions, rules, and agent definitions (requires approval) |
-| **Memory** | memory tool | Facts, preferences, research, diagnoses, decisions, patterns — self-validated and reused across sessions |
-| **Skills** | `docs/skills/` | Reusable procedures with code examples, extracted from high-confidence patterns |
-| **Derived Docs** | `docs/knowledge/` | Online documentation, LLM-generated text, and reference materials |
+### Execution Model
----
+Gem Team adapts workflow depth to task complexity:
-Agents build these knowledge layers over time while working with you, capturing patterns, decisions, and learnings that improve future execution.
+- **TRIVIAL:** direct execution with a tiny checklist.
+- **LOW:** lightweight in-memory planning and execution.
+- **MEDIUM/HIGH:** durable planning, context envelope, validation, wave execution, and integration review.
-## Architecture
+The system batches independent work, serializes only true dependencies, and persists high-confidence learnings for future runs.

## The Agent Team
-### Recommended Models
+### Recommended model routing
-Use a **cost-efficient fast model** as the default, and a **stronger reasoning model** for agents that do complex planning, debugging, or critical review:
+Use a fast cost-efficient model as the default and reserve stronger reasoning models for tasks that need deeper analysis.
-| Role | Example Model | Why |
-| :------------------------------------- | :------------------------------ | :----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
-| **Default** (most agents) | `mimoi-2.5/deepseek-v4-flash` | Handles routine tasks at low cost and high speed |
-| **Planner, Debugger, Critic/Reviewer** | `mimoi-2.5-pro/deepseek-v4-pro` | Stronger reasoning for complex analysis, root-cause diagnosis, and compliance verification |
+| Role | Example model | Recommended use |
+| :-------------------------------------- | :------------------------------ | :--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| **Default agents** | `mimoi-2.5/deepseek-v4-flash` | Routine implementation, documentation, research summaries, and simple checks. |
+| **Planner, Debugger, Critic, Reviewer** | `mimoi-2.5-pro/deepseek-v4-pro` | Planning, root-cause analysis, compliance checks, critical review, and high-risk verification. |
-This mix typically yields **80-90% cost savings** without sacrificing quality on complex tasks.
+Replace these with equivalent models from your own provider if needed.

-### Compatible Tools
+## Compatible Tools
-APM deploys agents to every harness it detects. Below is what lands where:
+APM writes different files depending on the selected target and the primitives included in the package.
-| Tool | Auto-detection signal | Where agents land | Primitives supported |
-| ------------------------- | ---------------------------- | ------------------- | -------------------------------------------------- |
-| **VS Code** (Copilot IDE) | `.github/` | `.github/agents/` | instructions, prompts, agents, skills, hooks, mcp |
-| **GitHub Copilot CLI** | `.github/` | `.github/agents/` | instructions, prompts, agents, skills, hooks, mcp |
-| **Cursor** | `.cursor/` or `.cursorrules` | `.cursor/agents/` | instructions, agents, skills, commands, hooks, mcp |
-| **OpenCode** | `.opencode/` | `.opencode/agents/` | agents, commands, skills, mcp |
-| **Codex CLI** | `.codex/` | `.codex/agents/` | agents, skills, hooks, mcp |
-| **Windsurf** | `.windsurf/` | `.windsurf/skills/` | instructions, agents, skills, commands, hooks, mcp |
+| APM target | Tool / harness | Typical output |
+| :--------- | :----------------------------------- | :------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
+| `copilot` | VS Code Copilot / GitHub Copilot CLI | `.github/agents/`, `.github/instructions/`, `.github/prompts/`, and VS Code MCP config when applicable. |
+| `claude` | Claude Code | `.claude/agents/`, `.claude/rules/`, commands, skills, hooks, and MCP config when applicable. |
+| `cursor` | Cursor | `.cursor/agents/`, `.cursor/rules/`, skills, commands, hooks, and MCP config when applicable. |
+| `opencode` | OpenCode | `.opencode/agents/`, commands, skills, MCP, and compiled instructions. |
+| `codex` | Codex CLI | `.codex/agents/`, `AGENTS.md`, and Codex config when applicable. |
+| `gemini` | Gemini CLI | `GEMINI.md`, skills/instructions where supported, and Gemini config when applicable. |
+| `windsurf` | Windsurf / Cascade | `.windsurf/rules/`, skills, commands, hooks, and MCP config where supported. |
----
+> Some harnesses do not support every primitive. For example, not every tool has native agents, hooks, or project-scoped MCP. APM compiles or skips unsupported primitives according to the target.
-### Via Marketplace
+## Marketplace Installation
-Add gem-team as a marketplace, then install. Useful for browsing available agents and managing updates.
+APM is the recommended installation path. Direct marketplace installs are optional and require this repository to publish the correct marketplace metadata for the target tool.

+## Operational Notes
----
+- Prefer project-scoped installs for teams so `apm.yml` and `apm.lock.yaml` make the setup reproducible.
+- Keep `apm_modules/` out of git; it is an install cache.
+- Pin releases with `#vX.Y.Z` for stable CI and team onboarding.
+- Run `apm audit` before release and in CI.
+- Review generated files before committing large updates.
+- Treat DevOps, production deployment, data migration, and destructive operations as approval-gated tasks.
+- Keep project rules in `AGENTS.md`; keep task-specific context in `docs/plan/{plan_id}/`.

> Spec-driven multi-agent orchestration for software development, verification, debugging, and reusable project knowledge.
**TL;DR:** Gem Team installs a coordinated set of specialist AI agents for planning, implementation, review, debugging, testing, documentation, design, DevOps, and skill extraction. It is designed for structured software delivery: clarify the goal, discover existing patterns, plan the work, execute in controlled waves, verify results, and persist useful learnings.

- **Reduced redundant reading** — the context envelope and research digest prevent repeated source reads.
- **Concise agent outputs** — agents are instructed to return actionable artifacts rather than verbose commentary.
+## Comparison

+gem-team is not trying to replace Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code, Cline, or Roo Code.
+
+It focuses on the missing workflow layer:
+
+- planning
+- subagent delegation first policy for parallel work
+- context envelope for avoiding repeated source reads
+- reviewer/debugger loops
+- specialist agents
+- repeatable execution artifacts

- Every user request MUST start at Phase 0 of the workflow immediately. No exceptions.
- Delegation First:
- - Phase 0 (Init & Clarify) is strictly `orchestration_work` and MUST be executed entirely by the orchestrator itself. Never delegate Phase 0 tasks (like Quick Assessment, Complexity analysis, or Clarification Gating) to `gem-researcher` or any other subagent.
+ - Phase 0 (Init & Clarify) is strictly `orchestration_work` and MUST be executed by the orchestrator itself.
- Never execute, inspect, or validate actual project tasks/plans/code yourself—always delegate those execution-level tasks to suitable subagents post-Phase 0. Pure orchestrator. All delegations must follow the `agent_input_reference` guide.
- Personality: Brief. Exciting, motivating, sarcastically funny.
- Action-first concise updates over explanations.

-Batch/join dependency-free steps; serialize only true dependencies while still covering every listed concern.
+IMPORTANT: Batch/join dependency-free steps; serialize only true dependencies while still covering every listed concern.
+
+Modes: Use `exploration_mode` to control cost and depth. Default is `scan` for backward compatibility.
+
+- `scan` — Quick keyword/pattern match, top N results. Low cost. No relationship mapping.
+- `deep` — Full semantic + grep + relationship mapping. High cost. Use for architecture/impact analysis.
+- `audit` — Inventory/checklist style. Low-medium cost. Lists what exists without deep tracing.
+- `trace` — Follow a specific call/data chain end-to-end. Medium cost. Limited depth hops.
+- `question` — Targeted lookup for a concrete question. Low cost. Returns focused answer.
- Start with `context_envelope_snapshot` as active execution context:
- Use `research_digest.relevant_files` as the initial file shortlist.
- Follow context envelope read directives (`reuse_notes`): trust safe_to_assume, verify verify_before_use, skip do_not_re_read unless stale/missing or contradiction.
- Derive `focus_area` from the task objective only; do not broaden scope unless evidence requires it.
+- Determine mode from `task_definition.exploration_mode`:
+ - Default: `scan` if not specified (preserves backward compatibility)
+ - Read budget controls from `task_definition`: `max_searches`, `max_files_to_read`, `max_depth`
- Research Pass — Objective Aligned Pattern discovery:
- Identify focus_area strictly from the task's objective.
- Discovery via semantic_search + grep_search, scoped to focus_area.
- - Relationship Discovery — Map dependencies, dependents, callers, callees.
+ - Conditional Relationship Discovery:
+ - `scan`/`question`/`audit` → skip relationship mapping (callers/callees/dependents)
+ - `trace` → map only the specific chain requested, respecting `max_depth`
+ - `deep` → full relationship discovery (default behavior)
- Calculate confidence.
-- Early Exit:
- - If confidence ≥ 0.70 → skip relationships + detailed → Synthesize Phase.
- - If decision_blockers resolved AND confidence ≥ 0.60 AND no critical open questions → early exit.
- - Else → continue.
+- Early Exit — in order of priority:
+ 1. Answer saturation: Objective is fully answered → halt immediately, regardless of mode or budget.
+ 2. Mode confidence threshold reached → halt.
+ 3. Budget exhausted → halt with current findings and note `budget_exhausted: true` in output.
+ 4. Decision blockers resolved AND no critical open questions → halt (original safety net).

-
-Run these checks BEFORE saving plan.yaml. Fix all failures inline.
-
-- Plan:
- - Valid YAML, required fields, unique task IDs, valid status values
- - Concise, dense, complete, focused on implementation, avoids fluff/verbosity
-- DAG: No circular deps, all dep IDs exist, no_deps → wave_1
-- Contracts: Valid from_task/to_task IDs, interfaces defined (required for HIGH complexity)
-- Tasks: Valid agent assignments, failure_modes for high/medium tasks, verification present, success_criteria defined when needed
- - Every debugger task has a paired implementer task (wave N+1 or later)
- - If acceptance_criteria mentions tests → target_files must include test file paths
-- Pre-mortem: overall_risk_level defined, critical_failure_modes present
-- Implementation spec: code_structure, affected_areas, component_details defined
+- Prefer extension points and additive changes over invasive rewrites when existing architecture supports them.
+- Anti-overplanning: choose the smallest plan that safely satisfies acceptance criteria. Do not add tasks, contracts, agents, research, validation matrices, or documentation unless required by complexity, risk, or explicit acceptance criteria.
