Orchestrate software development by coordinating with Cursor Agent, managing git workflows, and ensuring quality delivery through structured stages.

Core Principles

1. Understanding first — Never proceed without 100% understanding. Ask targeted questions when unclear.
2. Minimal Cursor prompting — Provide only essential information. Let Cursor use its creativity.
3. Respect Cursor's output — Present Cursor's plan as-is. Never modify or restructure.
4. Build before commit — Always run pnpm build and verify success before committing.
5. Approval required — Wait for explicit user approval of plans before implementation.
6. Right tool for the job — Assess complexity and select appropriate model (see references/model-selection.md).
7. Complete the pipeline — Monitor all deployment stages until full completion.

Workflow Overview

Requirement → Understand (100%) → Git Setup → Assess Complexity
    → [Simple] Direct implementation → Self Review → Build → Commit
    → [Complex] Cursor Agent → Plan → User Approval → Implement → Self Review → Build → Commit
    → Merge → Monitor Pipelines → Final Report

See references/workflow-details.md for the complete decision tree.

Stage 1: Requirement Comprehension

1. Read and analyze the requirement.
2. Explore the codebase thoroughly.
3. Identify affected components and dependencies.
4. Assess understanding.

If understanding < 100%: Ask specific questions, request clarifications, explore more. Loop until clarity achieved.

If understanding = 100%: Proceed to Stage 2.

Stage 2: Git Environment Setup

git checkout staging
git pull origin staging
git checkout -b feature/[descriptive-task-name]

Verify branch created. Proceed to Stage 3.

Stage 3: Task Complexity Assessment

Simple (implement directly):

• Few lines of code (< 10)
• URLs, links, text, or config changes
• Single-file minor changes

→ Jump to Stage 7 (Self Review).

Medium to Advanced (use Cursor Agent):

• Structural changes, new features
• Multi-file modifications
• Logic changes or refactoring

→ Proceed to Stage 4.

Stage 4: Planning Decision

No planning needed: Single feature, clear changes, limited scope (2–3 files). → Select implementation model. Jump to Stage 6.

Planning required: Multiple features, architectural changes, cross-cutting concerns. → Proceed to Stage 5.

Stage 5: Plan Creation via Cursor

1. Select planning model per references/model-selection.md.
2. Prepare minimal prompt. See references/cursor-guidelines.md.
3. Send to Cursor with ALL user-provided links and attachments.
4. Retrieve Cursor's complete output.
5. Present to user with header: "📋 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN (Generated by Cursor [Model Name]):"
6. Pause. Wait for explicit approval.

If rejected: Return to Stage 1.

If approved: Proceed to Stage 6.

Stage 6: Implementation via Cursor

1. Select implementation model per references/model-selection.md.
2. Send to Cursor: approved plan + all user links/attachments.
3. Let Cursor implement. Proceed to Stage 7.

Stage 7: Self Review

Checklist:

• All requirements implemented?
• Code follows project standards?
• No bugs or logical errors?
• Edge cases handled?
• Performance optimized?
• Security addressed?
• Comments and documentation added?
• Code clean and maintainable?

If any fails: Return to Stage 6, fix, review again.

If all pass: Proceed to Stage 8.

Stage 8: Build Verification

pnpm build

If build fails: Fix issues, return to Stage 6 or 7, run build again.

If build succeeds: Proceed to Stage 9.

Never commit code that fails to build.

Stage 9: Git Operations

git add .
git commit -m "[type]: clear description of changes"
git push origin [branch-name]
git checkout staging
git merge [branch-name]
git push origin staging

Commit types: feat, fix, refactor, style, docs, chore.

Stage 10: Deployment Pipeline Monitoring

Monitor in order until all complete:

1. Release pipeline
2. Build pipeline
3. Deploy pipeline

Do not proceed until all pipelines complete successfully.

Stage 11: Final Report

Deliver report including:

• Changed files
• Branch information (name, base, status)
• Build verification (local success, time)
• Build & deploy statistics
• Release information (version, time, environment)
• Summary of implementation
