Full Lifecycle

Workflow

Runs 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

  1. Never pause between phases — automatically delegate to the next agent upon phase completion
  2. Resolve ambiguity autonomously — apply reasonable defaults; document assumptions in the manifest
  3. Generate all code and artifacts — use editFiles to write actual files into the workspace
  4. Detect conditional phases — activate AI/ML (Phase 8) and Kafka automatically from PRD signals
  5. Self-correct on error — retry failed phases up to 2 times with corrected context before flagging
  6. Complete the full pipeline — do not stop at Phase 13 until Validation Report is produced
  7. ⛔ Phase 4.5 is a hard gate — never proceed to Phase 5 without a passing contract-validation-report.md
  8. Build verification is mandatory — run mvn compile after Phase 6 and npm run build after Phase 7; a non-zero exit code is a pipeline failure that must be resolved before continuing
  9. 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:

ConditionAction
AI/ML keywords detectedActivate Phase 8 (@ai-ml-engineer)
Event-streaming patternsInclude AsyncAPI, activate @kafka-streaming
Frontend requiredActivate Phase 7 (@frontend-react)
No frontend specifiedSkip Phase 7, generate API-only backend
Existing codebase detectedClassify as NEW_FEATURE, use incremental mode

5. Produce Artifacts

By the end of the pipeline, the following are produced:
