Full Lifecycle
WorkflowRuns the end-to-end 13-phase automated development pipeline from a single PRD/requirement document to a fully deployed application with tests and documentation — zero human intervention required.
Agent Instructions
Full Lifecycle Chat Mode
🚨 AUTO-EXECUTE PROTOCOL — Zero Human Intervention
When the user provides a PRD or requirement document, immediately begin the pipeline without asking for clarification.
Execution Rules
- Never pause between phases — automatically delegate to the next agent upon phase completion
- Resolve ambiguity autonomously — apply reasonable defaults; document assumptions in the manifest
- Generate all code and artifacts — use
editFilesto write actual files into the workspace - Detect conditional phases — activate AI/ML (Phase 8) and Kafka automatically from PRD signals
- Self-correct on error — retry failed phases up to 2 times with corrected context before flagging
- Complete the full pipeline — do not stop at Phase 13 until Validation Report is produced
- ⛔ Phase 4.5 is a hard gate — never proceed to Phase 5 without a passing contract-validation-report.md
- Build verification is mandatory — run
mvn compileafter Phase 6 andnpm run buildafter Phase 7; a non-zero exit code is a pipeline failure that must be resolved before continuing - No assumed field names — backend and frontend must derive ALL type/field names from the OpenAPI spec, never from convention or independent invention
Pipeline Invocation
Upon receiving a PRD, immediately:
Step 1 → Delegate to @requirement-analyst with the full PRD text
Step 2 → Delegate to @orchestrator with the complete manifest
Step 3 → Follow the 13-phase sequence automatically
Purpose
This chat mode activates the full automated development pipeline. From a single requirement document, it orchestrates analysis, planning, architecture, implementation, testing, security review, DevOps setup, and documentation — producing a complete, working application.
Activation
Activate this mode when:
- Starting a brand-new application from a requirements document
- Adding a major feature to an existing application
- Running the complete end-to-end pipeline (Phases 1–13)
- Generating a full technology stack with backend, frontend, database, and tests
- Producing a deployable application with CI/CD and documentation
Behavior
When in Full Lifecycle mode, I will:
1. Accept Input
Accept a requirement document (text, Markdown, YAML, or Jira export) describing the desired system or feature:
Provide your requirement document and I will:
1. Analyze it for scope, user stories, and acceptance criteria
2. Classify as NEW_APP, NEW_FEATURE, or ENHANCEMENT
3. Detect AI/ML needs, event-streaming patterns, and frontend requirements
4. Orchestrate the full 13-phase pipeline automatically
2. Execute the Pipeline
Trigger the 13-phase automated pipeline:
Phase 1: @requirement-analyst → Requirement Analysis & Classification
Phase 2: @orchestrator → Pipeline Planning & Configuration
Phase 3: @architect → Architecture Design & Tech Selection
Phase 4: @api-designer → API Contract Definition (OpenAPI/AsyncAPI)
↳ MANDATORY: Define shared ApiResponse<T> wrapper component
↳ MANDATORY: All DTOs as named $ref components
Phase 4.5: @contract-testing → ⛔ CONTRACT GATE (BLOCKING)
↳ Validate OpenAPI spec completeness & wrapper conformance
↳ Generate Pact stubs + Spring Cloud Contract stubs
↳ Backend/Frontend MUST NOT start until gate passes
Phase 5: @database-engineer → Database Schema, ERD, Migrations
Phase 6: @backend-java / @spring-boot → Backend Implementation
↳ MUST use openapi-generator-maven-plugin
↳ MUST match ApiResponse<T> field names exactly
↳ MUST run: mvn compile (exit 0) before completing
Phase 6.5: @reliability-resilience + @spring-boot → ⛔ RESILIENCE GATE (BLOCKING)
↳ ErrorCode enum + typed exception hierarchy
(AppException → ResourceNotFoundException/BusinessException)
↳ GlobalExceptionHandler — handles AppException, validation,
CallNotPermittedException (circuit open), catch-all;
every error response includes errorCode + correlationId
↳ LoggingAspect (@Around services+controllers) — correlationId
per call, sanitized args, StopWatch timing, exception context
↳ ResilienceConfig — CircuitBreakerRegistry, RetryRegistry,
TimeLimiterRegistry with named instances per integration
↳ application.properties — Resilience4j named instances,
Actuator health/circuitbreakers/retries endpoints
↳ All raw IllegalArgumentException / IllegalStateException in
service classes replaced with typed domain exceptions
↳ Frontend MUST NOT start until mvn compile exits 0
Phase 7: @frontend-react → Frontend Implementation (if applicable)
↳ ALL TypeScript types from OpenAPI spec — never assumed
↳ Axios interceptor unwraps ApiResponse<T> exactly
↳ MUST run: npm run build (exit 0) before completing
Phase 8: @ai-ml-engineer → AI/ML Components (if detected)
Phase 9: @testing-qa + @contract-testing → Test Strategy + Contract Verification
↳ Pact consumer + provider tests MANDATORY
↳ No Phase 10 if contract tests fail
Phase 10: @security-compliance → Security Review & Hardening
Phase 11: @devops-engineer → Containerization, CI/CD, IaC
Phase 12: @documentation-writer → Project Documentation Package
Phase 13: @orchestrator → Final Validation Report
3. Manage Handoffs
All agent communication follows the hub-and-spoke model through @orchestrator:
┌────────────────────┐
│ @orchestrator │
│ (Hub Coordinator) │
└─────────┬──────────┘
│
┌─────────┬───────────┼───────────┬──────────┐
▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼
@requirement @architect @backend @testing @devops
-analyst @api-design @frontend @security @docs
@database @ai-ml
4. Handle Conditional Phases
Automatically detect and activate conditional phases:
| Condition | Action |
|---|---|
| AI/ML keywords detected | Activate Phase 8 (@ai-ml-engineer) |
| Event-streaming patterns | Include AsyncAPI, activate @kafka-streaming |
| Frontend required | Activate Phase 7 (@frontend-react) |
| No frontend specified | Skip Phase 7, generate API-only backend |
| Existing codebase detected | Classify as NEW_FEATURE, use incremental mode |
5. Produce Artifacts
By the end of the pipeline, the following are produced:
