2 things to look at
- no licenseNo license file was found in the repository. Code published without one is not open source by default, so using it at work is a question for whoever answers licensing questions where you are.
- 11 stars11 stars. Stars are a popularity signal and not a quality one, but at this level it is likely that nobody has read this closely except its author, and you would be relying on your own review.

End-to-end planning and execution orchestrator. Chains SPARC or wave-planner (Stage 1), plan-review, linear, and hive-workers-skill into a single workflow. Automatically routes infra changes through SPARC research instead of wave-planner. Use when starting a new initiative, executing a set of Linear issues, or running plan-to-deployment.

Launchpad
End-to-end orchestrator that chains SPARC or wave-planner (Stage 1), plan-review (Stage 2), linear (Stage 3), and hive-workers-skill (Stage 4) into a single interruptible workflow.
Stage 1 routing (ADR-109):
- Infra changes (Docker, CI, entrypoints, hooks, dev tooling) → SPARC researcher + architect →
docs/internal/implementation/{slug}.md - Feature work (application code, new endpoints, UI) → wave-planner → hive-mind YAML configs
Execution
When triggered, immediately:
- Read
./agent-prompt.md - Spawn a single Task with
subagent_type: "general-purpose"passing the agent-prompt content as the prompt - Include in the prompt: the user's request (issue IDs, project name, or description), current working directory, and any flags (
--from,--skip-review,--fresh,--infra,--feature) - Wait for the agent to complete
- Present the agent's summary to the user
Do NOT execute the workflow in this session. The subagent handles all stage sequencing, gate prompts, resume detection, and skill dispatching.
Execution Context Requirements
This skill spawns a general-purpose subagent that coordinates stages via nested Task dispatches.
Foreground execution required: Yes. Interactive stage gates use AskUserQuestion which auto-denies in background mode.
Dispatcher tools (frontmatter): Read, Task, AskUserQuestion Subagent tools: Read, Write, Edit, Bash, Grep, Glob, Task, AskUserQuestion, TodoWrite

| Skill | Role |
|---|---|
| sparc-methodology | Stage 1a (infra): SPARC researcher + architect → implementation plan |
| wave-planner | Stage 1b (feature): Generate wave plan + hive configs |
| plan-review-skill | Stage 2: VP review of plan (both paths) |
| linear | Stage 3: Create Linear project + issues |
| hive-workers-skill | Stage 4: Execute waves via ruflo swarm |
Infra Trigger Criteria (ADR-109)
Stage 1a (SPARC) is selected when scope includes any of:
docker-entrypoint.sh,Dockerfile,docker-compose.yml.github/workflows/*.yml.husky/*,pre-commit,pre-pushhook scriptsscripts/files called by Docker/CI/hookspackage.jsonscriptsblock changes- Dev tooling config:
.eslintrc,vitest.config.ts,turbo.json
Stage 1b (wave-planner) for everything else. Mixed scope → use Stage 1a.
Override with flags: --infra forces Stage 1a, --feature forces Stage 1b.
