Phases

PLAN MODE:  Phase 1 CLARIFY → Phase 2 REQUIREMENT CONTRACT → Phase 2.5 VALIDATE REQUIREMENT → [User Approval Gate]
ACT MODE:   Phase 3 ARCHITECTURE PLAN → Phase 3.5 VALIDATE ARCHITECTURE → Phase 4 TASK → Save

Phase	Gate	Rule
1 → 2	Questions answered	HALT until user responds
2 → 2.5	Requirement contract drafted	Run internal validation checklist
2.5 → 3	Spec approved	HALT until user says "approved"
3 → 3.5	Architecture plan done	Run internal validation checklist
3.5 → 4	Architecture validated	Continue immediately
4 → Save	All phases generated	Save file and report

Key Constraints

• NEVER skip clarifying questions
• NEVER generate spec without explicit user approval (Phase 2 gate)
• NEVER list dependencies without pinned versions
• NEVER write "to verify" — YOU verify it
• ALWAYS use WebSearch for dependency versions
• ALWAYS use context7 for key dependency docs
• ALWAYS make each phase self-contained (agent shouldn't need other phases)
• ALWAYS emit a transcript-verifiable ## Goal Condition per phase so a user can drive each phase with /goal
• ALWAYS include Prerequisites for Phase 1+
• Phase 4 (TASK) is REQUIRED — do NOT stop after Phase 3
• ALWAYS produce Requirement Validation and Architecture Validation sections
• ALWAYS preserve the 3-command UX: /agent-team:spec owns spec → validate → architect → validate internally

MCP Tools (Required)

MCP	Phase	Purpose
WebSearch	3	Pin dependency versions
context7	3, 4	API patterns and method signatures
sequential-thinking	3	Complex architectural decisions
