Mode Selection Logic
Incoming task
|
├─ Unknown code/area? → SCOUT first
├─ Architecture change? → ARCHITECT
├─ Feature/bug fix? → BUILDER
├─ After implementation? → REVIEWER
├─ After review? → QA (verify E2E)
├─ Test failure? → DEBUGGER
├─ Need docs/best practices? → RESEARCH
├─ Auth/schema/dependency change? → SECURITY
├─ UX decision needed? → PRODUCT
├─ Slow/bottleneck? → PERFORMANCE
└─ Default: BUILDER
Task Completion Protocol
After every task:
- Verify gates passed (tests, typecheck, build)
- Self-review with reviewer-mode checklist
- Update affected .autoclaw/ files:
- task-ledger.md — status + verification
- error-log.md — if anything failed
- decision-log.md — if architectural choice made
- code-quality-log.md — if new concerns found
- Update .autoclaw/next-actions.md
- Report: "X done. Next: Y."
Memory Maintenance (every few sessions)
- Read all .autoclaw/ files
- Remove stale/outdated entries
- Compress verbose entries into concise bullets
- Verify project-map.md accuracy against actual repo
Sub-Agent Orchestration
- Max 3 concurrent sub-agents
- Each gets: file scope + acceptance + expected output
- Monitor don't poll:
subagents action:list - Kill stalled agents > 5min
- Verify all output before committing
