Planning & Specification Workflows

Turn a larger idea into a dependency-ordered roadmap of tasks — the layer above create-task. Use when the work is several distinct tasks with real ordering between them (schema before API before UI), and you want the whole task graph drawn before implementing. Producer only; ab-start-roadmap executes it.

Resume a handoff (a side-topic spun off mid-grill) and turn it into a test-driven task. Use when the user wants to continue grilling on a deferred topic captured under docs/handoffs/.

The intelligent entry point to the AB Method. Use when the user isn't sure which workflow they need, asks whether to create a goal or a task, or wants to understand how the AB Method works end to end. Routes intent to the right workflow instead of reimplementing it.

Execute a roadmap autonomously to completion — the layer above start-task. Use when a roadmap's tasks are planned and you want them run in dependency order, with independent tasks optionally in parallel. Verifies the dependency tree is planned before running; stops if a needed task has no plan. Executor only.

Use AB Method when a Claude Code task is too large for one pass and needs to be broken into focused tasks and missions that are completed incrementally instead of trying to solve the whole project in one conversation.

Cross-plan coherence critic for a whole roadmap. Reads roadmap.md plus every planned task's progress-tracker.md and pushes back ONLY on genuine discrepancies BETWEEN the finished plans — broken seams, coverage gaps, duplicated work, reversed/missing edges, terminology drift, conflicting assumptions. Read-only; silent when the plans cohere. Run standalone after planning finishes and before /start-roadmap.

Post-implementation documentation-sync detector. Spins up ONE read-only subagent on a completed task's diff to find everything the change introduced that the architecture docs don't yet know about — new endpoints, patterns, dependencies, domain terms, ADR-worthy decisions — routed to the exact doc each belongs in. Autonomous runs apply only append-only safe additions and defer domain/ADR reshapes; interactive runs present the proposed doc deltas to pick. Use after a task's missions are done (from create-task / start-task / start-roadmap) or standalone on a diff.
