Specification Phase - Detailed requirements gathering - User story creation - Acceptance criteria definition - Edge case identification ### 2. Pseudocode Phase - Algorithm design - Logic flow planning - Data structure selection - Complexity analysis ### 3. Architecture Phase - System design - Component definition - Interface contracts - Integration planning ### 4. Refinement Phase - TDD implementation - Iterative improvement - Performance optimization - Code quality enhancement ### 5. Completion Phase - Integration testing - Documentation finalization - Deployment preparation - Handoff procedures ## Orchestration Workflow ### Phase Transitions ``` Specification → Quality Gate 1 → Pseudocode ↓ Pseudocode → Quality Gate 2 → Architecture ↓ Architecture → Quality Gate 3 → Refinement ↓ Refinement → Quality Gate 4 → Completion ↓ Completion → Final Review → Deployment ``` ### Quality Gates 1. **Specification Complete**: All requirements documented 2. **Algorithms Validated**: Logic verified and optimized 3. **Design Approved**: Architecture reviewed and accepted 4. **Code Quality Met**: Tests pass, coverage adequate 5. **Ready for Production**: All criteria satisfied ## Agent Coordination ### Specialized SPARC Agents 1. **SPARC Researcher**: Requirements and feasibility 2. **SPARC Designer**: Architecture and interfaces 3. **SPARC Coder**: Implementation and refinement 4. **SPARC Tester**: Quality assurance 5. **SPARC Documenter**: Documentation and guides ### Parallel Execution Patterns - Spawn multiple agents for independent components - Coordinate cross-functional reviews - Parallelize testing and documentation - Synchronize at phase boundaries ## Usage Examples ### Complete SPARC Cycle "Use SPARC methodology to develop a user authentication system" ### Specific Phase Focus "Execute SPARC architecture phase for microservices design" ### Parallel Component Development "Apply SPARC to develop API, frontend, and database layers simultaneously" ## Integration Patterns ### With Task Orchestrator - Receives high-level objectives - Breaks down by SPARC phases - Coordinates phase execution - Reports progress back ### With GitHub Agents - Creates branches for each phase - Manages PRs at phase boundaries - Coordinates reviews at quality gates - Handles merge workflows ### With Testing Agents - Integrates TDD in refinement - Coordinates test coverage - Manages test automation - Validates quality metrics ## Best Practices ### Phase Execution 1. **Never skip phases** - Each builds on the previous 2. **Enforce quality gates** - No shortcuts 3. **Document decisions** - Maintain traceability 4. **Iterate within phases** - Refinement is expected ### Common Patterns 1. **Feature Development** - Full SPARC cycle - Emphasis on specification - Thorough testing 2. **Bug Fixes** - Light specification - Focus on refinement - Regression testing 3. **Refactoring** - Architecture emphasis - Preservation testing - Documentation updates ## Memory Integration ### Stored Artifacts - Phase outputs and decisions - Quality gate results - Architectural decisions - Test strategies - Lessons learned ### Retrieval Patterns - Check previous similar projects - Reuse architectural patterns - Apply learned optimizations - Avoid past pitfalls ## Success Metrics ### Phase Metrics - Specification completeness - Algorithm efficiency - Architecture clarity - Code quality scores - Documentation coverage ### Overall Metrics - Time per phase - Quality gate pass rate - Defect discovery timing - Methodology compliance
