## Agent Teams support
If `CLAUDE_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_AGENT_TEAMS=1` is set, use **Agent Teams** when a
lifecycle stage fans out into parallel, coordinated work (e.g. build + test +
review running together, or a multi-repo ship). This enables:
- Stage agents share context mid-flight (the test agent surfaces a regression →
the build agent pivots before review starts)
- You can steer priorities in real time ("land the API change first, then docs")
- Agents report progress as each stage completes, so you sequence the merge
**Team setup** (only when the flag is enabled, and only for genuinely parallel stages):
```
TeamCreate("flow-lifecycle")
Agent(team_name="flow-lifecycle", name="stage-build", ...)
Agent(team_name="flow-lifecycle", name="stage-test", ...)
```
Steer with `SendMessage` / `broadcast`; share work via `TaskCreate`/`TaskUpdate`.
If the flag is NOT set, fall back to standard fire-and-forget subagents (the
default), or just route the stage to its single canonical command inline.
## Runtime Context
Before routing, compute where the user is on the lifecycle:
```bash
- "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT:-$HOME/Projects/claude-ops/claude-ops}/bin/flow-state"
+ for _d in "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT:-}" \
+ "$HOME/Developer/repos/claude-ops/claude-ops" \
+ "$HOME/external-skills/claude-ops" \
+ "$HOME/.claude/plugins/marketplaces/ops-marketplace/claude-ops" \
+ "$HOME/Projects/claude-ops/claude-ops"; do
+ [ -n "$_d" ] && [ -x "$_d/bin/flow-state" ] && "$_d/bin/flow-state" && break
+ done
```
+ Use `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT:-}`, not `$CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT`: the bare form aborts
+ under `set -u`, and an unguarded `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/flow-state` expands
+ to the absolute path `/bin/flow-state` when the variable is unset.
+
This prints: mode (PROJECT / AD-HOC), current `.planning/` phase (if any),
open PRs, and deploy state — the "you are here" marker. Read it first so
mode-sensitive routes (build / ship / review) resolve correctly.
The canonical map lives in `FLOW.md` (same dir). Read it when you need the
full per-stage ownership table; the dispatch table below is the routing copy.

# FLOW — One Lifecycle Entrypoint
Load `ops-rules` before acting. Public repo (no personal data). Outbound: one draft → one approval → one send. If `AskUserQuestion` / `Workflow` are missing, follow Rule 10 in `ops-rules` (Hermes: numbered options / two-turn Telegram card; `delegate_task`).
**The one rule:** pick the abstraction level from repo state, then delegate
to the canonical tool.
- **PROJECT-MODE** (git root has `.planning/`): drive the **GSD phase state
machine**; GSD phases call gstack/ops tools as sub-steps.
- **AD-HOC-MODE** (no `.planning/`): run the **gstack stateless lifecycle**.
- **OPS** (`/ops:*`): always available in either mode.
Route `$ARGUMENTS` (first token = intent) using this table:
| Intent keywords | Resolves to |
| --------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| (empty), map, here, where | print map (`Read FLOW.md`) + `bin/flow-state` output. **Stop — do not delegate.** |

| spec, specify, scope, issue | `/spec $REST` |
| plan, roadmap, phase-plan | **project** → `gsd-plan-phase`; **ad-hoc** → `/autoplan` |

| design, ui, mockup, html | `/design-consultation $REST` |
- | build, execute, implement, code | **project** → `gsd-execute-phase`; **multi-project** → `gsd-master-orchestrator`; **ad-hoc** → direct edits in an isolated worktree |
+ | build, execute, implement, code | **multi-project** (checked FIRST) → `gsd-manager`; else **project** → `gsd-execute-phase`; **ad-hoc** → direct edits in an isolated worktree |
| feature-dev, fd, feature, architect-feature | `/feature-dev $REST` (overlay — optional structured pipeline before/alongside build; does not replace GSD execute) |

### Routing notes
+ - **Hermes: gstack targets are files, not skills.** Every gstack route below
+ (`/qa`, `/ship`, `/spec`, `/review`, `/cso`, `/autoplan`, `/canary`, `/retro`,
+ `/learn`, `/office-hours`, `/design-consultation`, `/ios-qa`, `/browse`) lives
+ OUTSIDE the indexed skills tree at `~/.local/share/gstack/<name>/SKILL.md`,
+ deliberately, so its ~950k tokens do not load into every context.
+ `skill_view("qa")` WILL fail. Load the route with
+ `read_file ~/.local/share/gstack/<name>/SKILL.md`, then follow it. The
+ `gstack-index` skill lists all 54 names. GSD routes are normal skills and do
+ resolve via `skill_view` (`gsd-plan-phase`, `gsd-execute-phase`, ...).
- **`$REST`** = `$ARGUMENTS` with the leading intent token removed.
- **Mode resolution**: use the `MODE=` line from `flow-state`. PROJECT when
the git root has `.planning/`; AD-HOC otherwise. "multi-project" = the user
named >1 repo/project or asked for portfolio-wide work.
- **Delegation only.** This skill never does the work itself — it invokes the
canonical command via the `Skill` tool (or prints the route if the target is
a personal/plugin slash-command the model should call next). After routing,
the target skill's own `## CLI/API Reference` governs execution.
- **Ambiguity**: if intent spans two stages, prefer the earliest unfulfilled
stage for the current `flow-state` position.
- **`ops` passthrough**: for any `ops*` intent, forward the _entire_
`$ARGUMENTS` to `/ops:ops` — it has its own sub-router; do not pre-parse it.
### Bare `/flow`
If `$ARGUMENTS` is empty: `Read FLOW.md`, then run `bin/flow-state`, and
present the lifecycle map with the current position highlighted. Offer the
next canonical stage as the suggested action. **Do not auto-advance.**
## CLI/API Reference
Router only — no direct tool calls. `bin/flow-state` is the sole helper
(detects mode + position). All execution is delegated to the canonical
target skill after routing.
