See how to installReview the instructions the agent will receive before you install.
You have been provided a spec. This spec should have tickets associated with it, describing how to implement the spec.
The issue tracker should have been provided to you. If not, tell the user to run /setup-matt-pocock-skills.
The goal is the entire spec implemented on a single integration branch, with every ticket resolved the way the issue tracker closes work.
The tickets are not a list of steps. They are a task graph with blocking relationships between them. This means there is always a frontier of tickets which are ready to be grabbed.
Communication to and from subagents should be sparse. Communicate primarily through context pointers: to the spec, tickets, research notes, and previous commits. Don't duplicate information already available via pointers.
Implementer subagents should be run in the background where possible for maximum concurrency.
Read the spec and tickets to understand the task graph.
(optional) Use an exploration subagent to conduct any exploration required by the tickets - relevant codebase files or external documentation. Ensure the exploration subagent can save files - it should save its markdown notes in a directory outside the repo, accessible by all future subagents. This lets implementer subagents focus on implementation rather than exploration.
Create the integration branch. If the issue tracker closes work through PRs, or the user asks for one, open a draft PR after the first merge in step 5 (a branch with no commits ahead of main can't open one), marked as closing the spec and tickets.
Use implementer subagents to implement each ticket, each in its own worktree on its own branch. Each implementer subagent:
tdd to build the ticket;Once an implementer subagent completes, merge its work to the integration branch with a merger subagent.
If this changes the frontier of available tickets, kick off more implementer subagents to work on the new tickets. This allows for maximum concurrency.
Once all tickets are complete, call the Skill tool with code-review on the integration branch. Fix all issues raised by the code review in a single implementer subagent.
If a draft PR exists, mark it ready for review. Otherwise, resolve each ticket the way the issue tracker closes work, and report the integration branch.
Clean up all implementer subagent worktrees.

Review the changes since a fixed point (commit, branch, tag, or merge-base) along two axes: Standards (does the code follow this repo's documented coding standards?) and Spec (does the code match what the originating issue/spec asked for?). Runs both reviews in parallel sub-agents and reports them side by side. Use when the user wants to review a branch, a PR, work-in-progress changes, or asks to "review since X".

Shared vocabulary for designing deep modules. Use when the user wants to design or improve a module's interface, find deepening opportunities, decide where a seam goes, make code more testable or AI-navigable, or when another skill needs the deep-module vocabulary.
