These pages document master, which is unreleased and in development. The Quick Start installs the latest stable release; anything newer than that tag is marked in the text.

Phase Recap Template

Use this template after completing each major build phase to document decisions, issues, and outcomes.


Date: {YYYY-MM-DD} Duration: {X hours/days} Team Lead: {Agent or Human}


Agent/Role: {Agent name or “Direct implementation”}

  • {Summary of what this agent/role delivered}
  • {Key files created or modified}
  • {Notable design decisions}

Agent/Role: {Next agent}

  • {Summary}

Decision Options Considered Choice Rationale
{Decision topic} {Option A, Option B} {Chosen option} {Why this was chosen}

Issue Root Cause Resolution Prevention
{Problem description} {What caused it} {How it was fixed} {How to avoid next time}

Document any steps needed outside of code generation:

  • {Environment setup step}
  • {Database initialization step}
  • {Configuration step}
  • {Dependency installation step}
  • {Build verification step}

  • Type checking passes (zero errors)
  • Linting passes (zero errors)
  • Build/dev server runs successfully
  • Manual smoke test completed (describe what was tested)
  • All agents completed successfully
  • Integration between agents verified

Immediate next phase: {Phase N+1 name}

Prerequisites for next phase:

  • {What needs to be done before starting}
  • {Any unresolved blockers}

Out of scope / Deferred:

  • {Features intentionally left for later}
  • {Technical debt to address eventually}

Files Changed: {Number} files ({additions} additions, {deletions} deletions)

Commit Message:

{Phase title}
{Detailed description of changes}

Committed: {Yes/No} — {Git commit hash if applicable}


What Went Well:

  • {Positive outcome or effective practice}

What Could Be Improved:

  • {Area for optimization or better approach}

Recommendations for Future Phases:

  • {Actionable suggestions based on this phase}

What was underspecified that caused rework or confusion?

Struggle Time Lost Root Cause Proposed Fix
{description} {estimate} {missing context / wrong assumption / tooling gap} {rule or doc change to prevent recurrence}

For each item, identify: should a skill in shared/skills/ be updated? A template section added? A hook modified?
