Summary

Explicit implement commands now use a lightweight phase dispatcher and centralized completion guide instead of loading the full discovery controller.

  • Route explicit phases through skills/dispatch.md and validate phase names before resolving files.
  • Limit skills/controller.md to discovery and ambiguous-input routing.
  • Centralize attended next-step recommendations in skills/completion.md.
  • Preserve existing project overrides, legacy controller returns, conditional controller reads, phase-specific continuations, failure stops, project instruction loading, and ingest guards.
  • Normalize supported completion handoffs without executing their destinations, then read completion guidance exactly once.
  • Update built-in implement phases to return to the invoking router.
  • Bump implement once from main's 0.8.1 to 0.9.0 for the routing behavior change.

Routing footprint

For direct /implement plan without a project override, counting each routing file once:

Revision Routing characters
Current main (31ad523) 10,643
This PR 7,094

The direct path loads 33% less routing text than current main. These are Unicode character counts, not measured tokenizer or billing results. The comparison includes the command wrapper, controller or dispatcher, shared resolver, and completion guide where applicable; it excludes phase bodies, project instructions, and tool output.

Relationship to #113

PR #113 is merged into main. This branch merges main at 31ad523; its shared override recipes and cascade version bumps are now inherited from main and absent from this PR's diff. The remaining diff is confined to the implement package.

Validation

  • Markdown lint and Vale on changed prose.
  • Workflow pre-review and structural checks; one existing warning for design/decomposition-review.md.
  • Version validation against current main.
  • Installation smoke test and whitespace checks.
  • 210 Python unit tests across shared, triage, and report-bug scripts.
  • Earlier independent static override-resolution walkthrough and review of 24 unchanged pre-refactor attended phases and pause/failure cases.

Walkthrough

The implement workflow separates discovery, phase dispatch, override resolution, and completion guidance. Commands invoke a shared dispatcher. Documentation and validation rules cover the expanded workflow structure.

Changes

Implement workflow dispatch

Layer / File(s) Summary
Workflow structure and routing contracts
.coderabbit.yaml, AGENTS.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, implement/README.md
Documents controller, dispatcher, completion, command, reference, and override contracts.
Phase override resolution and validation
_shared/recipes/phase-override-resolution.md, _shared/recipes/phase-override-validation.md
Defines mapped phase resolution, override validation, fallback behavior, supported handoffs, and completion normalization.
Dispatcher, controller, and completion behavior
implement/skills/controller.md, implement/skills/dispatch.md, implement/skills/completion.md
Moves phase execution into dispatch.md. The controller handles discovery and ambiguity routing. Completion guidance selects subsequent attended phases.
Command and phase integration
implement/commands/*, implement/skills/{code,ingest,plan,publish,respond,revise,validate}.md
Commands invoke dispatch.md with explicit phases. Phase skills return to the invoking router for completion guidance.
Skill metadata maintenance
bugfix/SKILL.md, code-review/SKILL.md, cve-fix/SKILL.md, design/SKILL.md, docs-writer/SKILL.md, e2e/SKILL.md, implement/SKILL.md, kcs/SKILL.md, prd/SKILL.md, sizing/SKILL.md
Increments affected skill versions. Reformats sizing failure guidance without changing its behavior.

In `@CONTRIBUTING.md`:
- Around line 109-111: Update the dispatcher documentation in CONTRIBUTING.md to
present bugfix as an example or historical first adopter rather than the sole
workflow using the lightweight dispatcher, and change the override guidance to
say “controller or dispatcher” wherever both routing models apply.

In `@implement/skills/controller.md`:
- Around line 62-64: Update the Jira-key and specific-command branches in the
controller to set PHASE to the selected phase and then route through
dispatch.md, rather than executing /ingest or the phase directly. Keep the
controller limited to discovery and ambiguous-input routing, with
dispatcher-owned announcement, override resolution, execution, and completion
handling.

@coderabbitai Addressed both findings in 2781421:

  • Generalized CONTRIBUTING.md so lightweight dispatch is not attributed to one workflow and override announcements consistently allow either a controller or dispatcher. Synchronized the shared wording to refactor(bugfix): demand-load phase routing #113 in 03ec265.
  • Updated both implement controller entry paths to set PHASE and route through dispatch.md, preserving override resolution and centralized completion guidance.

I also inspected the full CodeRabbit review body; it contains no Outside diff range comments. Structural validation, version validation, Markdown lint, and git diff checks pass. The review threads were replied to and left unresolved for verification.

@adalton Confirmed. 2781421 addresses both findings.

  • CONTRIBUTING.md now defines lightweight dispatch as a general workflow pattern. Override routing and announcements consistently allow a controller or dispatcher.
  • The shared override recipe supports equivalent completion contracts without requiring a controller re-read.
  • The implement controller sets PHASE and routes both discovery and explicit-command paths through dispatch.md.
  • Every implement command wrapper routes through dispatch.md with its explicit PHASE.
  • The dispatcher preserves override resolution, unchanged command context, centralized completion guidance, and failure stops.

You are interacting with an AI system.

Document dispatcher and direct-phase references relative to command wrappers, and make non-default filename discovery independent of controller presence.

@coderabbitai Synchronized the shared review fixes from #113 in f662d4d:

  • Dispatcher and direct-phase paths in CONTRIBUTING.md are now explicitly relative to command wrappers.
  • Non-default phase filename discovery now points to the workflow's routing documentation rather than assuming a controller exists.

I also checked every CodeRabbit review body on #113. Its outside-diff /unattended finding is bugfix-specific and does not apply to #114, which excludes the bugfix routing files. Structure validation, version validation, Markdown lint, and diff checks pass.

@adalton Confirmed.

Commit f662d4d makes dispatcher and direct-phase references command-wrapper-relative. It uses ../skills/dispatch.md and ../skills/{phase}.md consistently.

The filename-mapping guidance now supports controller-based, dispatcher-based, and documented phase-map routing. It no longer assumes a controller exists.

git diff --check completed without errors. The #113 unattended finding does not apply to #114 because this PR does not change the bugfix routing files.

You are interacting with an AI system.

Require every phase route to resolve the documented phase filename through the shared override contract before loading a phase.

@coderabbitai Addressed the override-contract finding in 465739a:

  • Every routing form must perform override resolution before loading a phase.
  • The route determines the documented phase filename once and uses it for both the project override and built-in fallback.
  • Bare direct phase reads may not bypass resolution.
  • Project overrides continue to be announced under the existing contract; built-in fallback selection is not newly announced.

The full CodeRabbit review bodies were checked and contain no new outside-diff comments. Structure validation, version validation, Markdown lint, and diff checks pass.

@adalton Confirmed. Commit 465739a addresses the override-contract finding.

  • CONTRIBUTING.md requires every phase route to resolve {phase-file} before it loads a phase.
  • Each route uses the same resolved filename for the project override and the built-in fallback.
  • The documentation prohibits direct phase reads that bypass override resolution.
  • implement/skills/dispatch.md resolves the override before it reads the phase file.
  • Every implement/commands wrapper sets PHASE and routes through dispatch.md.
  • Project overrides retain the required runtime announcement. Built-in fallback selection remains unannounced.
  • git diff --check completed without errors.

You are interacting with an AI system.

Require architecture-compatible terminal exits, clarify ambiguous controller input, and distinguish valid failing phase outcomes from operational execution failures.

Overall assessment:

Decomposes the monolithic controller.md into three focused files: controller (discovery/routing), dispatch (phase execution), and completion (next-step guidance). All 7 command wrappers now set PHASE= and delegate to dispatch.md; all phase skills exit generically instead of hard-coding "re-read the controller." Clean SRP separation with comprehensive doc updates across AGENTS.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, .coderabbit.yaml, and the shared override recipe.

What works well:

  • The three-file split is the right move - the old controller was overloaded. Each file now has one clear job.
  • completion.md is crisp: per-phase recommendations with clear pass/fail branching, and an explicit "never auto-advance" rule.
  • Phase skills are now router-agnostic, making them portable if other workflows (bugfix, e2e) adopt dispatch routing.
  • 3 of 5 CodeRabbit findings have follow-up commits from the author with CodeRabbit confirming the fixes, though all 5 threads remain formally unresolved on GitHub (CodeRabbit noted it couldn't resolve them on the platform).

The 2 threads without author responses are covered in Issues 1 below.

Issue 1 - Override validation is under-specified (open CodeRabbit finding)

The shared recipe uses "appears malformed" and "detectable terminal instruction" without defining testable conditions. CodeRabbit flagged this and there's no author response yet. For AI-consumed specifications, this is a real problem - different models will interpret "appears malformed" differently, leading to inconsistent override acceptance/rejection.
Similarly, dispatch.md says "if override resolution fails … stop without reading completion.md", while the shared recipe says "warn and fall back to the built-in default". These feel like they describe different failure modes, but the boundary is ambiguous. An agent could plausibly stop on a recoverable malformed-override case instead of falling back.

Suggestion: Define explicit markers (e.g. "override must end with a line matching return to *router|read.*completion|re-read.*controller") and clarify that recipe-level fallback to the built-in is NOT an "override resolution failure" that triggers dispatch.md's stop condition.

Issue 2 - Ingest guard defense-in-depth reduced

The old architecture had the ingest-specific guards in three places - command wrapper, controller, and skill file:
Do not glob this workflow. Do not load guidelines.md or gh-stack. Do not call GetDynamicTools.
This PR removes them from the command wrapper and controller, leaving them only in ingest.md. Technically correct - the skill file is the canonical source. But the triple-layer redundancy was intentional belt-and-suspenders for AI consumers, where instruction placement and repetition genuinely affects compliance. The guards block context-window waste (loading irrelevant files) and API misuse, so the cost of a miss is real.

Suggestion: Re-add one line to the ingest command wrapper or to dispatch.md's phase-specific notes. The marginal token cost is near-zero and the defense-in-depth value is meaningful for this particular phase.

Issue 3 - "Re-read the controller" exit pattern should be sunset

dispatch.md normalizes three exit patterns: "returning to the invoking router, requesting completion guidance, or re-reading the controller." This is pragmatic for backward compat, but "re-reading the controller" now means returning to a discovery-only file that won't provide completion guidance - the dispatcher silently intercepts and routes to completion.md instead. Any phase skill still saying "re-read the controller" is effectively lying about what will happen.

Suggestion: This PR already updates all implement phase skills to the new generic exit. Consider adding a deprecation note in the shared recipe or CONTRIBUTING.md so that future phases or overrides don't re-introduce the "re-read controller" pattern, and document that the dispatcher's normalization of that exit is a transitional shim.

Minor observations:

  • dispatch.md doesn't validate PHASE - if an invalid phase name is passed, the shared recipe will just fail to find the file. A brief enumeration or "valid phases" check in dispatch.md could give a better error message than a file-not-found.
  • Version bumps (0.x.0 → 0.x.1) across all 10 SKILL.md files are appropriate - the behavioral contract (how phases exit) changed.

Overall: The architectural direction is sound and the execution is solid.
Issues 1 and 2 are the ones I'd block on - the override validation ambiguity will cause real behavioral divergence across AI agents, and the ingest guard removal trades meaningful safety for trivial token savings.
Issue 3 and the minor observations are non-blocking but worth addressing before the pattern spreads to other workflows.

Token cost analysis for this PR:

Measured the actual file sizes (before/after) and modeled the token impact across three scenarios. The numbers use ~4 chars/token and Claude Sonnet 4 input pricing ($3/M tokens).

The core change: what gets loaded into context

Before - every /command loads controller.md (7,738 bytes ≈ 1,934 tokens). This single file handles discovery, phase execution, AND completion guidance. It sits in context for the entire session.

After - direct /commands load dispatch.md (1,050 bytes ≈ 262 tokens) + completion.md (1,250 bytes ≈ 312 tokens). The slimmed controller.md (~4,550 bytes) is only loaded for discovery/ambiguous input - never for direct commands.

Routing overhead per invocation path:
  Direct /command (most common):   2,284 → 912 tokens     60% reduction
  Discovery flow (ambiguous):      2,234 → 2,012 tokens    10% reduction
  Full 7-phase session:            2,584 → 1,138 tokens    56% reduction

Dollar cost impact
Routing tokens are replayed on every agent turn as input context. A typical implement session runs 20–80 turns.

                          Before     After     Saved
  20 turns/session:       $0.155     $0.068    $0.087  (56%)
  40 turns/session:       $0.310     $0.137    $0.174  (56%)
  80 turns/session:       $0.620     $0.273    $0.347  (56%)

  100 sessions/month:     $31.01     $13.66    $17.35/mo

The dollar savings are real but modest - ~$17/month at 100 sessions. This is not the primary win.
The real win: context window headroom

The primary value is freeing ~1,447 tokens (~5.8 KB) of context window per session. Against a 200K-token budget, this moves routing overhead from 1.29% → 0.57%.
That ~5.8 KB is roughly 35–45 lines of source code that can now stay in context. For sessions that push context limits (late-stage /code with large files, /respond with long PR diffs), this margin can prevent the model from dropping earlier instructions or hallucinating - the classic symptoms of context pressure.
The bigger architectural benefit: by demand-loading only what's needed, the pattern scales better. If more phases or workflows are added, the old monolithic controller would keep growing. The dispatch pattern keeps the per-invocation cost constant regardless of how many phases exist.

Caveats

  • Token counts are approximations (~4 chars/token). Actual tokenization varies by model.
  • The "discovery" path (ambiguous input → controller → dispatch) shows only ~10% savings because the new controller is still substantial. But this path is rare as most users invoke /commands directly.
  • I'm not accounting for the command wrapper simplification reducing cognitive load on the model (simpler instructions → fewer misinterpretations), which is hard to quantify but arguably the most impactful improvement for output quality.

Define override exit validation and recoverable fallback handling while retaining legacy controller-return compatibility. Validate requested phases and restore the ingest guard at the shared dispatcher entry point.

@amir-yogev-gh @coderabbitai Updated in 4fcfbbd:

  • Override validation and fallback: The shared recipe defines accepted terminal forms, normalization, comparison, and rejection conditions. Invalid overrides warn and fall back; unavailable built-ins and operational failures stop. Completion guidance still runs for a completed validation report with a FAIL verdict.
  • Ingest guards: Added the short ingest-specific guard to the dispatcher, so it covers both command and controller entry paths before loading a built-in phase or override.
  • Legacy exits: Kept controller-return normalization as supported compatibility behavior for existing project overrides. Deprecating it would undermine that contract. New implement phases should return to the invoking router, but legacy overrides do not require migration. Controller-based workflows retain their direct controller returns.
  • PHASE validation: Unsupported or missing phase names now stop with the valid choices before filename resolution.

Validation: Markdown lint, repository structure checks, package/shared version checks (including this commit's cascade), installer tests, all 210 Python unit tests, and Vale on the changed prose passed. Vale used a temporary configuration with the established terms "repo" and "frontmatter" accepted because this repository has no Vale configuration. The existing pre-review warning for design/decomposition-review.md remains unchanged.

I checked all CodeRabbit review bodies as well as the review threads; there were no outside-diff findings. Replies are posted on both relevant CodeRabbit threads, with resolution left to reviewers.

Comment thread _shared/recipes/phase-override-resolution.md
Announce overrides using existing workflow and filename parameters. Validate completion behavior without imposing new terminal wording, preserve legacy start continuations, and accept the conditional controller read used by older implement ingest overrides.

@coderabbitai Updated in e8ffcf1. This consolidates the announcement correction and legacy-override compatibility changes in PR 114 only.

  • Announcement: Uses the existing WORKFLOW and PHASE_FILE parameters. No new required parameter and no reverse inference from a mapped filename.
  • Existing overrides: Completion is validated by behavior. Removed the mandatory terminal-form grammar and blanket rejection of work after a controller return. Existing overrides retain their artifacts, reporting, and supported handoffs without edits; falling back to the built-in does not count as preserving a valid customization.
  • Legacy /start: The shared recipe explicitly accepts the old wait-for-selection, re-read-controller, and dispatch-selected-phase handoff, preserving the wait and dispatching once.
  • Legacy implement /ingest: The dispatcher explicitly accepts the old Follow controller.md only if already in session completion instruction. A successfully finished phase returns for completion guidance even when that read is skipped. Unfinished steps, operational failures, and user-decision stops do not become successful completion.

Validation: an independent, read-only static walkthrough covered all 24 pre-refactor attended phase files from baseline 562b610 against the migrated bugfix, implement, and e2e routing contracts. It also checked the mapped docs-writer /gather route, empty overrides, controller mentions only inside examples, validation FAIL reports, and pause/error behavior. This was a contract walkthrough, not live workflow execution. No remaining concrete incompatibility was identified in those cases after the ingest clarification.

Markdown lint, structure checks, version checks (including this commit's shared-file cascade), installer tests, all 210 Python tests, and Vale on the changed prose passed locally. The existing pre-review warning about design/decomposition-review.md is unchanged.

I checked every CodeRabbit review body and the review threads; there are no outside-diff findings. The announcement finding has a thread reply. PRs 113 and 115 were not modified or commented on. The shared recipe and its consumer version bumps are included together here for a single later synchronization.

@adalton Confirmed. The inspected changes in e8ffcf1 address the announcement and legacy-override compatibility findings.

  • The override announcement uses the supplied WORKFLOW and PHASE_FILE values.
  • The shared recipe accepts behavior-equivalent legacy completion handoffs.
  • The bugfix /start contract preserves the user-selection wait and dispatches the selected phase once.
  • The implement dispatcher preserves the conditional legacy /ingest controller read.
  • A completed validate.md report with FAIL still reaches completion.md.
  • Shared recipe consumers have matching patch version increments.
  • git diff --check completed without errors.

No additional concrete issue was identified in the reviewed routing contracts.

@coderabbitai Updated in 3033cd7: override validation now lives in _shared/recipes/phase-override-validation.md, loaded only when an override exists. All existing validation rules moved verbatim; lookup, fallback, and execution ownership remain unchanged.

For direct /implement plan without an override, routing text falls from 8,809 to 6,464 characters (29% below main's 9,151). Overrides still load the full validator: 9,351 characters total. These counts measure routing text loaded once, not billed tokens or whole-workflow usage.

Markdown lint, Vale, structure, version, and installation checks pass. Independent static resolution checks covered built-in selection, legacy and conditional controller returns, empty-override fallback, and mapped filenames. Existing version bumps are unchanged. This update is on PR 114 only; the two shared files will need synchronization to 113 and 115.

@adalton Confirmed. Commit 3033cd7 addresses the conditional override-validation change.

  • _shared/recipes/phase-override-resolution.md selects the built-in phase without loading validation when no project override exists.
  • When a project override exists, the resolver loads _shared/recipes/phase-override-validation.md.
  • _shared/recipes/phase-override-validation.md contains the prior compatibility, rejection, completion, and legacy controller-return rules.
  • The resolver retains lookup and fallback ownership.
  • The invoking router retains phase execution and completion-handoff ownership.
  • implement/skills/dispatch.md still uses the shared resolver before it reads the selected phase.
  • git diff --check completed without errors.

No additional concrete issue was identified in the inspected routing contract. The required synchronization of the two shared recipes to #113 and #115 remains a separate follow-up.

You are interacting with an AI system.

Bring in the shared fallback, artifact-contract, and completion-handoff updates from PR 113. Apply the shared completion protocol to the implement dispatcher while preserving its single completion-guide read.

@coderabbitai Updated in f5c67c6 with the common override changes from PR #113:

  • deterministic built-in fallback resolution relative to the shared recipe;
  • validation against the built-in phase and controller artifact contract;
  • explicit completion-handoff classification and consumption tracking.

The implement dispatcher initializes completion state before phase execution, normalizes supported handoffs without executing their destinations, and reads completion.md exactly once. Existing package versions remain unchanged because this is part of the same PR-level behavioral change relative to main.

The two shared recipes match PR #113 at 927eec3. Markdown lint, Vale, structural checks, version validation, installation smoke tests, and whitespace checks pass. PR #115 was not modified and still needs the same shared-file synchronization.

@adalton Confirmed. Commit f5c67c6 addresses the shared override and completion-handoff findings.

  • Both shared recipes exactly match PR #113 commit 927eec3.
  • Built-in fallback resolution uses the recipe-relative path ../../{WORKFLOW}/skills/{PHASE_FILE}.
  • Override validation compares required artifacts with the built-in phase and the workflow controller contract.
  • The resolver returns the COMPLETION_HANDOFF classification without executing a phase or continuation.
  • The implement dispatcher initializes COMPLETION_CONSUMED=false before phase execution.
  • The dispatcher normalizes supported handoffs without executing their destinations.
  • The dispatcher reads completion.md exactly once after successful phase completion.
  • Resolution, operational, and unsupported-handoff failures stop before that completion read.
  • A completed validate.md report with FAIL remains a valid completion outcome.
  • git diff --check completed without errors.

You are interacting with an AI system.

Align the implement dispatcher with the shared override validator by mapping router-defined completion behavior to the invoking-router return.

Merged current main (31ad523, including PR #113) into this branch in 2c2b3a7.

The resulting PR diff contains only implement/ files. Both _shared recipes and all cascade-only version changes now come from main and have disappeared from this PR's diff.

Versioning was recalculated against head-of-line main: implement is 0.8.1 on main and 0.9.0 here, the correct single minor bump for this PR's routing behavior. No other package version differs from main.

Markdown lint, structure, version validation, install tests, whitespace checks, and 210 Python tests pass.

Re-evaluate PR #115 against main after PR #114. Inherit Implement and shared-resource changes from main while retaining the E2E release bump.

## Summary

- route explicit `e2e` phase commands through a lightweight dispatcher
- move attended next-step guidance from the controller into a completion
guide
- keep the controller for workflow discovery and ambiguous requests
- preserve project overrides, failure stops, e2e scope boundaries, and
attended-mode stopping
- update shared routing conventions and bump affected package versions

## Independent mergeability

This PR is based directly on `main`, not on PR #113 or #114. It contains
the same shared convention and override-resolution changes so the three
PRs can merge in any order. It does not include their workflow-specific
changes.

## Validation

- structure and pre-review checks
- version-cascade validation
- Markdown lint
- installer tests
- Python unit tests
- explicit command-routing and phase-exit contract checks
- `git diff --check`
