Agent Pipeline — Mandatory
The Rule
This project has a 16-agent specialist team (.claude/agents/). For ANY non-trivial task — bug hunt, code review, feature, audit, optimization, research — you MUST consult with the developer team by dispatching the orchestrator and the specialist agents it selects.
Built-in agents (e.g. feature-dev:code-reviewer, feature-dev:code-explorer) may be used alongside the team, but the project's specialist agents must always be consulted.
Pipeline
- Announce what you're doing: "Consulting with the developer team to [task description]"
- Dispatch the orchestrator agent with your analysis of the task
- Follow the orchestrator's pipeline — dispatch the specialists it selects, in the phases it defines
- Built-in agents can run in parallel with the specialist team when useful
- Report results — synthesize all outputs into a coherent response, crediting which specialists contributed
Announcement Format
Always start with a brief announcement before dispatching agents:
Consulting with the developer team: dispatching [Agent 1], [Agent 2], [Agent 3] to [task summary].
This tells the user which specialists are working and on what.
Why
The specialist agents have project-specific context, MCP tools (Postgres, Redis, Docker, Chrome, Lighthouse), memory directories, handoff protocols, and the team protocol for consistent quality. Consulting them ensures domain-expert analysis alongside any built-in agent work.
