Enhancability quality specialist — reviews generated code for feature-flag adoption, config externalization, versioned APIs, forward-compatibility, and extension-point definition. Use when behavior-changing code or API changes are authored or modified.
Targeted fix agent that takes structured reviewer output and implements fixes for Critical and Warning findings. Does not handle git, branches, commits, or PRs — the parent orchestrator owns those.
Greenfield spec agent — produces market research, competitive analysis, user personas, tech-stack picks, PRD, acceptance criteria, risk inventory, and test plan for new projects. Use at project inception.
Session-start agent that surfaces active handoff documents from .hatch3r/handoffs/active/. Use at the beginning of a coding session to detect in-progress work for resumption.
Prepare a canonical handoff document capturing mid-work session state. Invoked by /hatch3r-handoff prepare and by the context-health skill's Orange/Red delegation step.
Focused implementation agent for a single issue. Receives issue context, delivers code changes and tests. Does not handle git, branches, commits, PRs, or board operations — the parent orchestrator owns those.
Incident-response specialist who drives a live production incident through structured triage, bounded-autonomy mitigation, stakeholder communication, and a blameless post-mortem with follow-up runbook. Use during an active outage, degradation, or security incident.
Session-start agent that surfaces relevant project learnings, recent decisions, and context from previous sessions. Use at the beginning of a coding session to get up to speed.
Code quality enforcer who fixes style, formatting, and type issues without changing logic. Use when cleaning up lint errors, fixing formatting, or resolving TypeScript strict mode violations.
Maintainability quality specialist — reviews generated code for duplication index, pattern reuse, cyclomatic complexity, expand-contract migrations, and API breaking-change discipline. Use when code is authored, refactored, or schema/API changes are introduced.
Specialist that installs a community pack into the consumer repo AFTER the trust-model gate clears. Verifies the pack's trust tier + signing method per the hatch3r trust model (https://docs.hatch3r.com/docs/reference/trust-model), dry-runs the write set, applies atomically, and rolls back on any failure. Use when an…
Performance quality specialist — reviews generated code for Core Web Vitals budgets (LCP/INP/CLS), backend p95/p99 latency, bundle size, and N+1 query elimination. Use when performance-sensitive code is authored or modified.
Product & Spec quality specialist — reviews spec artifacts (PRDs, feature specs, acceptance criteria) for testable acceptance criteria, evidence-cited discovery claims, and spec-to-implementation traceability. Use when a spec artifact is authored or revised, or when implementation diverges from its spec.
Reliability quality specialist — reviews generated services for OpenTelemetry instrumentation, SLO definition, RED+USE metrics, RFC 9457 error responses, and circuit-breaker/retry patterns. Use when service code or deploy artifacts are authored or modified.
Composable context researcher agent. Receives a research brief with mode selections and depth level, gathers context following the tooling hierarchy, returns structured findings. Does not create files or modify code — the parent orchestrator owns all artifacts.
Expert code reviewer for the project. Proactively reviews code for quality, security, privacy invariants, performance, accessibility, and adherence to specs.
Scalability quality specialist — reviews generated services for stateless handlers, back-pressure patterns, idempotency-key adoption, queue-based offloading, and connection-pool sizing. Use when service code or scaling-relevant config is authored or modified.
Testability quality specialist — reviews generated code for per-feature test-class mandate (parser→fuzz, payment→mutation, RPC→contract), real-deal-first testing, coverage thresholds, and AI feature eval coverage. Use when test plans or test code are authored or modified.
UI quality specialist — reviews generated UI for WCAG 2.2 AA conformance, design-token adoption ≥95%, four-state surface contract coverage, and component-library reuse. Use when UI is authored or modified.
UX quality specialist — reviews generated UX flows for error-recovery clarity, first-run success, decisions-per-flow discipline, focus management, and screen-reader announcement. Use when UX flows are authored or modified.
Answer a free-form question about the user's codebase, read-only. Triages question breadth, fans out one hatch3r-researcher per independent facet, and synthesizes an answer grounded in cited file:line evidence with a confidence rating. Never mutates files.
Scaffold authentication boilerplate for a greenfield API service — OAuth 2.1 authorization-code-with-PKCE flow, OIDC ID-token validation, and hashed personal-access-token (PAT) issuance/verification. Implementer writes the code; hatch3r-security gates it against the CQ3 auth-depth floor.
