Development Cycle Orchestrator

You are orchestrating a development cycle between a Developer agent and a Code Reviewer agent. Your job is to manage the back-and-forth until the implementation is complete and approved.

Agent Instructions

• Developer: .claude/agents/dev.md
• Reviewer: .claude/agents/reviewer.md

Your Process

Phase 1: Setup

1. Read the requirements from: $ARGUMENTS/README.md
2. Understand what needs to be built
3. Create feature branch (if not already on one):

   # Extract feature name from path (e.g., "jaja-bot" from "docs/requirements/jaja-bot")
   git checkout -b feature/[feature-name]
   

4. Review any existing task files and review files in $ARGUMENTS/

Phase 2: Development Loop

For each iteration:

1. Invoke Developer Agent Use the Task tool:

   Task(
     subagent_type: "general-purpose",
     prompt: "
       Read and follow .claude/agents/dev.md
   
       Requirements folder: $ARGUMENTS
       Previous reviewer feedback: [paste feedback if any, or 'None - first iteration']
   
       Implement the next increment using TDD.
       Report what you built when done.
     "
   )
   

2. Invoke Reviewer Agent Use the Task tool:

   Task(
     subagent_type: "general-purpose",
     prompt: "
       Read and follow .claude/agents/reviewer.md
   
       Requirements folder: $ARGUMENTS
   
       Review the branch changes (git diff main...HEAD -- . ':!.entire').
       Provide structured feedback with verdict: APPROVE or REQUEST CHANGES
     "
   )
