mutation-adequacy
Verification-ladder R5 review dimension: the mutation-adequacy adequacy backstop. Runs the diff-scoped mutation gate, reads the carrier, and turns surviving / NoCoverage mutants into concrete 'write a test that kills <file>:<line>' follow-ups. Triggers: 'mutation adequacy', 'check mutation score', or /review on a HIGH-tier feature. The mutation SCORE is advisory by default (a config override is needed to block on it). The NoCoverage axis has its own real, functioning block-mode enforcement path under review.mutationEnforcement: block (default budget: 0 uncovered changed lines) — opt-in, same as the score's severity. The diff-scoped CI wiring runs in observe mode unconditionally pending a clean runner verdict; it is not yet a blocking CI backstop. Do NOT run full-tree mutation here (scope:'full' is deferred to R10/v2.12).
testing45
cleanup
Post-merge workflow resolution. Verifies PR merge status, backfills synthesis metadata, force-resolves review statuses, transitions to completed, and cleans up worktrees/branches. Use when the user says 'cleanup', 'resolve workflow', 'mark as done', or runs /cleanup. Do NOT use before PRs are merged.
data-ai45
git-worktrees
Git worktree management for parallel agent team development. Triggers: 'create worktree', 'worktree setup', or during /delegate dispatch. Do NOT use for branch creation without delegation context.
development45
invariants
Guided authoring of an architectural invariant catalog entry through a 6-step interview (elicit, locate, weight, enforce, number, commit). Drives the invariants_scaffold and invariants_add orchestrate verbs — the agent supplies judgment and natural-language elicitation; the verbs own schema validation, file writing, and event emission. Defaults to mode: audit; mode: check is an advanced opt-in. Triggers: 'add an invariant', 'author an invariant', 'enforce an architectural rule', or invariants. Do NOT use for: editing workflow state, running a review, or hand-writing YAML (the verbs write it — never emit catalog YAML yourself).
testing45
dogfood
Review failed Exarchos MCP tool calls from the current session, diagnose root causes, and categorize into code bug, documentation issue, or user error. Use when the user says 'dogfood', 'review failures', 'what went wrong', 'triage errors', or runs /dogfood. Scopes exclusively to Exarchos tools (exarchos_workflow, exarchos_event, exarchos_orchestrate, exarchos_view, exarchos_sync). Do NOT use for debugging application code or non-Exarchos tool failures.
tools45
checkpoint
Save and mutate workflow state — init a workflow, update fields, transition phases, and capture a structured handoff before context exhaustion. Use when the user says 'save progress', 'checkpoint', 'I need to stop', or runs /checkpoint. Writes current workflow phase, task progress, and artifacts to the event store for later resumption. Do NOT use for restoring/reading state after a session break (that is /rehydrate) or for workflow initialization framing handled by ideate/debug/refactor commands.

testing45
plan
Decompose the unified docs/specs/ artifact into parallelizable tasks — the ## Decomposition section of the same document whose ## Design & Rationale section holds the DR-N source. Triggers: 'plan implementation', 'create tasks from spec', or /plan. Applies the verification ladder: verification depth matches each task's blast radius — static analysis for low-risk tasks, scoped tests plus a kill-probe for medium, the integration suite on top for high-risk surfaces (judged test-after, not test-first ordering). Auto-chained from /ideate, or run directly to author the whole unified spec at thin/standard depth. Do NOT use for brainstorming, debugging, or code review.
development45
merge-orchestrator
The composed executor that lands a subagent worktree branch onto an integration branch with preflight + recorded recovery point. For a shared integration branch route through `serialize_merge` (the single-writer lease that composes this action); invoke `merge_orchestrate` directly only for a non-integration merge or when you already hold the lease. Triggers: operator (or `next_actions`) surfaces the merge verb via Exarchos MCP. Local git operation — NOT remote PR merging (that is `merge_pr`).

Collaborative design exploration that authors the Design & Rationale section of the one unified docs/specs/ spec. Triggers: 'brainstorm', 'ideate', 'explore options', or /ideate. Default is a one-pass design preamble; the deep rung gates the 2-3 approach divergent loop and the discover bridge. Do NOT use for task decomposition (that is /plan, which adds Decomposition to the same doc) or code review.

documentation45
oneshot
Lightweight workflow for straightforward changes — plan → implement → optional PR. Direct-commit by default; synthesize is opt-in via synthesisPolicy or a runtime request_synthesize event.

Triggers: 'mutation adequacy', 'check mutation score', or /review on a HIGH-tier feature. Advisory by default — never blocks merge unless an explicit config override raises severity.

implementation-planning
Decompose the unified docs/specs/ artifact into parallelizable tasks — the ## Decomposition section of the same document whose ## Design & Rationale section holds the DR-N source. Triggers: 'plan implementation', 'create tasks from spec', or /plan. Applies the verification ladder: verification depth matches each task's blast radius — static analysis for low-risk tasks, scoped tests plus a kill-probe for medium, the integration suite on top for high-risk surfaces (judged test-after, not test-first ordering). Auto-chained from /ideate, or run directly to author the whole unified spec at thin/standard depth. Do NOT use for brainstorming, debugging, or code review.

authoring-invariants
Guided authoring of an architectural invariant catalog entry through a 6-step interview (elicit, locate, weight, enforce, number, commit). Drives the invariants_scaffold and invariants_add orchestrate verbs — the agent supplies judgment and natural-language elicitation; the verbs own schema validation, file writing, and event emission. Defaults to mode: audit; mode: check is an advanced opt-in. Triggers: 'add an invariant', 'author an invariant', 'enforce an architectural rule', or {{COMMAND_PREFIX}}invariants. Do NOT use for: editing workflow state, running a review, or hand-writing YAML (the verbs write it — never emit catalog YAML yourself).

Use when the user says 'cleanup', 'resolve workflow', 'mark as done', or runs /cleanup. Do NOT use before PRs are merged.
data-ai45
rehydrate
Restore and read workflow state after a context break — re-inject workflow phase, task progress, and behavioral guidance into the current session, reconcile state against git reality, and verify whether a workflow exists. Use when the user says 'resume', 'rehydrate', 'where were we', or runs /rehydrate, or when the agent has drifted after context compaction.

Verification-ladder R5 review dimension: the mutation-adequacy adequacy backstop. Runs the diff-scoped mutation gate, reads the carrier, and turns surviving / NoCoverage mutants into concrete 'write a test that kills <file>:<line>' follow-ups. Triggers: 'mutation adequacy', 'check mutation score', or /review on a HIGH-tier feature. The mutation SCORE is advisory by default (a config override is needed to block on it). The NoCoverage axis has its own real, functioning block-mode enforcement path under review.mutationEnforcement: block (default budget: 0 uncovered changed lines) — opt-in, same as the score's severity. The diff-scoped CI wiring runs in observe mode unconditionally pending a clean runner verdict; it is not yet a blocking CI backstop.
