# IC10 Code Generation (Curation-First)

Find existing IC10 resources first, generate custom code only when needed.

## Workflow

### 1. Curation Phase (Primary)

Use Task tool to spawn:
- `resource-curator` - Search external sources for existing solutions

### 2. Evaluation Phase

Review curator results:
- **Found good resources**: Present guide and ask if user wants custom code
- **Found partial matches**: Present options, offer to generate adapted version
- **Nothing found**: Proceed to generation

### 3. Research Phase (If Generating)

If user wants custom code OR nothing found, spawn in parallel:
- `instruction-researcher` - Find relevant IC10 instructions
- `device-researcher` - Find device logic types
- `pattern-finder` - Find local patterns to build from

### 4. Generation Phase (If Needed)

Use Task tool to spawn:
- `code-generator` - Generate IC10 code from requirements + research

### 5. Documentation Phase

Use Task tool to spawn:
- `code-documenter` - Add proper documentation

## Instructions

When the user asks to generate IC10 code:

1. **Check for bypass phrases** - If user says "generate new", "write fresh", "create from scratch", or "don't search", skip to step 4.

2. **First, curate external resources**:
   - Launch `resource-curator` with the topic
   - Wait for results

3. **If resources found**:
   - Present top 3-5 resources with summaries
   - Note the guide location: `guides/[topic]-resources.md`
   - Ask: "I found these existing solutions. Would you like me to generate custom code instead?"
   - If user says no, done
   - If user says yes, continue to step 4

4. **If user wants custom code** (or nothing found, or bypass):
   - Launch research agents in PARALLEL:
     - `instruction-researcher`
     - `device-researcher`
     - `pattern-finder`

5. **Generate code**:
   - Launch `code-generator` with research findings

6. **Document code**:
   - Launch `code-documenter`

7. **Present final code** with:
   - Summary of what it does
   - Device setup requirements
   - Customization points
   - Link to resources guide (if one was created)

## Example Triggers

- "Create IC10 code for..." -> Curate first, then offer generation
- "Write a script that..." -> Curate first, then offer generation
- "Generate new code for..." -> Skip curation, go straight to generation
- "Write fresh IC10 for..." -> Skip curation, go straight to generation

## Bypass Curation

User can skip curation with explicit phrases:
- "Generate new code for..."
- "Write fresh code..."
- "Create from scratch..."
- "Don't search, just create..."
- "I want original code for..."

## Example Response After Curation

```
## Found Resources for "solar tracking"

I searched external sources and found 6 relevant resources.

Would you like me to generate custom code instead, or would one of these work for your needs?
