## Pipeline: GitHub Feature Development (Claude LLMs)
```
specs.md / User Input
│
├─ 1. requirements-engineer (Opus-tier)
│ Read specs.md or user input → structured requirements
│ → docs/context/specs/<id>-requirements.md
│ → User validates requirements
│
├─ 2. Create GitHub Issue
│ Format requirements as feature request issue
│ → gh issue create --title "..." --body "..."
│ → Issue number becomes the tracking ID
│
├─ 3. architect (Opus-tier)
│ Read requirements → design solution
│ → docs/context/specs/<id>-spec.md + <id>-todo.md
│ → User approves plan
│
├─ 4. tdd-developer (Sonnet-tier) — per step
│ RED: write failing tests → commit
│ GREEN: minimum code → commit
│ REFACTOR: improve → commit
│
├─ 5. qa (Opus-tier)
│ Run affected unit + integration tests
│ Report pass/fail with exact errors
│
├─ 6. reviewer (Sonnet-tier) — per-step review
│ Review code against requirements + conventions
│ 🔴 MUST FIX / 🟡 SHOULD FIX / 🟢 SUGGESTION
│ → User triages: [F]ix / [T]ech debt / [I]gnore
│ → Max 3 fix loops per step
│
├─ 7. Create Pull Request (gh pr create)
│ Push branch → create PR → link GitHub issue
│ → "Closes #<issue-number>"
│
└─ 8. diff-reviewer (Opus-tier) — whole-PR diff review
Review the created PR end-to-end against the issue's AC:
quality, correctness, logic, conventions, security,
landmines, best practices
🔴 CRITICAL / 🟠 MAJOR / 🟡 MINOR / 🟢 NIT + verdict
→ Preview findings + confirm, then post inline comments
on the diff (and conceptual threads) via gh
```
> **`reviewer` vs `diff-reviewer`:** `reviewer` is the interactive,
> per-step quality gate that runs *during* development (steps 4–6 repeat
> per todo step). `diff-reviewer` runs *once on the finished PR* — it reads
> the whole diff, ranks issues by severity, and posts them back onto the PR
> (after a preview/confirm gate). Step 8 is optional but recommended before
> requesting human review.
### Prerequisites
- GitHub repository with `gh` CLI configured
- Claude Code installed (agents run as Claude Code subagents)
- Optional: `specs.md` in repo root or provided path
### Usage
#### Step 1: Gather requirements
**From specs.md:**
```
Use requirements-engineer to analyze specs.md
```
The agent reads `specs.md` (or a specific path), extracts features,
and produces structured requirements.
**From user input:**
```
Use requirements-engineer: "We need user authentication with OAuth2,
supporting Google and GitHub providers, with role-based access control"
```
Review the generated `docs/context/specs/<id>-requirements.md`.
Validate acceptance criteria and assumptions.
#### Step 2: Create GitHub issue
```bash
gh issue create \
--title "feat: <feature name>" \
--body "$(cat docs/context/specs/<id>-requirements.md | head -n 100)" \
--label "feature-request"
```
Or let the requirements-engineer format and create the issue directly:
```
Use requirements-engineer to create a GitHub issue from <id>-requirements.md
```
#### Step 3: Design the solution
```
Use architect to design the solution for <id>-requirements.md
```
Review the spec and todo. Approve before proceeding.
#### Step 4: Implement step by step
```
Use tdd-developer on Step 1 of <id>-todo.md
```
#### Step 5: Test after each step
```
Use qa to verify Step 1
```
#### Step 6: Review after each step
```
Use reviewer to review Step 1
```
Triage findings: [F]ix / [T]ech debt / [I]gnore.
#### Step 7: Create Pull Request
```
/pr
```
Or manually:
```bash
gh pr create \
--title "feat(scope): description" \
--body "Closes #<issue-number>"
```
#### Step 8: Review the pull request (diff-reviewer)
After the PR exists, review the whole diff and post feedback onto it:
```
Use diff-reviewer to review PR #<number>
```
The agent reads the diff (via the `gh-cli` skill) and the linked issue's
acceptance criteria, ranks findings 🔴 CRITICAL / 🟠 MAJOR / 🟡 MINOR /
🟢 NIT, then **previews the exact comments and asks you to confirm** before
posting inline comments + conceptual threads and submitting a verdict
(APPROVE / REQUEST_CHANGES / COMMENT). Nothing is posted until you say yes.
### specs.md Format
The requirements-engineer can process any structured document, but
the recommended `specs.md` format is:
```markdown
# Feature: <name>
## Problem
<what problem does this solve?>
## Users
<who benefits?>
## Requirements
- <requirement 1>
- <requirement 2>
## Constraints
- <technical or business constraints>
## Notes
- <additional context, references, prior art>
```
### Notes
- All agents run as Claude Code subagents (not Copilot CLI)
- The requirements-engineer → GitHub issue step ensures traceability
- The tdd-developer → qa → reviewer cycle repeats for each step in the todo
- Max 3 fix loops per step, then remaining issues go to tech debt
- GitHub issue is linked in the PR via "Closes #N" convention
