REQUEST

$ARGUMENTS

---

STEP 0 — PLUGIN CHECK

Load $HOME/.claude/agents/plugin-advisor.md. Feed request.

• ACTION REQUIRED → show RECOMMENDATIONS, offer: A) fix plugins B) type "force". STOP.
• OK → ✅ Plugin check passed — [active plugins], continue.

STEP 0b — PROJECT CONTEXT CHECK

Verify the project has a CLAUDE.md and print a brief orientation summary:

ls CLAUDE.md .claude/CLAUDE.md 2>/dev/null | head -1
git branch --show-current 2>/dev/null || echo "not a git repo"
git log --oneline -3 --format="%h %<(50,trunc)%s" 2>/dev/null || true
ls .gsd/ROADMAP.md 2>/dev/null | head -1

• CLAUDE.md found → read it silently, then print orientation header (informational, not a gate):

  📋 PROJECT CONTEXT
  Project : <name from CLAUDE.md>
  Stack   : <stack from CLAUDE.md>
  Branch  : <current git branch>
  Recent  : <last 3 commit messages>
  GSD     : <current milestone if .gsd/ROADMAP.md exists, else "not initialized">
  

  Continue to STEP 1.
• Not found → Print: "⚠️ No CLAUDE.md found in this directory. This project has not been onboarded into claude-config. Run /onboard first to generate CLAUDE.md and project settings, then re-run /ship-feature." STOP.

STEP 1 — BRAINSTORM

Invoke superpowers:brainstorming. Refine request into validated design via Socratic questioning. Don't proceed until design approved.

STEP 2 — PLAN

Invoke superpowers:writing-plans. Break design into tasks (2-5 min each). Each task: exact file paths, full code, verification steps.

STEP 3 — VALIDATION GATE ★ MANDATORY STOP

SHIP FEATURE — VALIDATION GATE
FEATURE: <n> | TASKS: <count>
<numbered task list>
Approve and execute? (yes / request changes)

Changes → back to STEP 2. Approved → continue.

STEP 4 — IMPLEMENT

Invoke superpowers:subagent-driven-development. Isolated subagents. 2-stage review per task: spec compliance → code quality.

STEP 4b — ERROR RECOVERY (if STEP 4 fails)

If a subagent returns a build error, failing test, or type error:

1. Load $HOME/.claude/agents/analyzer.md in DEBUG MODE on the exact error output. Produce: root cause hypotheses (ordered), affected files, what NOT to touch.
2. Present gate:

SHIP FEATURE — ERROR IN STEP 4
TASK    : <task name that failed>
ERROR   : <one-line summary>
HYPOTHESES:
  1. [HIGH] <cause> — evidence: <…>
  2. [MED]  <cause> — evidence: <…>
OPTIONS :
  A) Apply fix for hypothesis 1 and re-run this task
  B) Skip this task and continue with remaining tasks
  C) Abort feature — preserve work done so far

3. Wait for user choice. Do NOT auto-fix. Do NOT proceed without explicit approval.
4. If A → apply minimal fix, re-run STEP 4 for the failed task only. Max 2 retry attempts. If still failing after 2 → fall back to options B or C. If B → before skipping: scan remaining task list for tasks that depend on the failed task (look for references to the same file or function in subsequent tasks). If dependents found → present: "Tasks [N, M] depend on the skipped task. Skip them too? (yes / keep and accept partial implementation)" If no dependents → skip cleanly and continue.

STEP 5 — ANALYZE

Load $HOME/.claude/agents/analyzer.md. Check: no regressions, no stale code, no plan deviations.

STEP 6 — CODE REVIEW

Invoke superpowers:requesting-code-review. Fix all CRITICAL before proceeding.

STEP 7 — FINISH

Invoke superpowers:finishing-a-development-branch. Tests pass, build clean, ready to merge.

STEP 8 — SYNC README

Load $HOME/.claude/agents/readme-updater.md with arg sync. Update cmds/vars/structure, add recent changes entry.

---

RULES

• No skipping steps. No merged agent responsibilities.
• No implement without user approval at STEP 3.
• Subagents isolated — no shared context between tasks.
• Fix all CRITICAL review issues before proceeding.
• Stop if requirements unclear at any step.
• STEP 4 errors → STEP 4b gate required before any fix. Never auto-patch a failing subagent.
