Summary

This PR significantly enhances the Project Initialization Workflow with two major features:

  1. Domain & Architecture Feedback Gates - Ensure implementations are aligned with business outcomes and not over-engineered
  2. Phase 0 Agent Creation - Allow users to create project-specific specialists when none are found

Problem

  • Implementers could produce technically correct but over-engineered or misaligned solutions
  • No mechanism to validate business alignment during implementation phases
  • Users with no pre-existing specialist agents had no easy path to create them

Solution

New Roles

Role Purpose
domain-expert Business alignment, PRD compliance, user value validation
architecture-reviewer Over-engineering detection, ADR compliance, pattern validation

Phase 3.4 & 4.3: Domain/Architecture Feedback

IMPLEMENT → CODE REVIEW → DOMAIN REVIEW → ARCHITECTURE REVIEW → APPROVAL GATE
                              ↓                    ↓
                         FIX ISSUES           SIMPLIFY
  • Sequential reviews: Domain first, then architecture (can consider domain findings)
  • Blocking: Both must pass before approval gate
  • Max 2 cycles: Escalate to user if issues persist

Over-Engineering Signals Detected

  • Abstractions without current use cases
  • Premature optimization
  • Features beyond Must-Have scope
  • Configuration/flexibility not requested
  • Layers/indirection without clear benefit

Phase 0 Enhancements

  • 0.1 Scan & Match: Existing discovery + domain expert inference from PRODUCT.md
  • 0.2 Gap Analysis: User chooses Create / Generalist / Hybrid
  • 0.3 Specialist Creation:
    • Analyze seeds for domain context
    • Fetch best practices via claude-code-guide
    • Draft agents, present for approval
    • Skills configuration
    • Restart handling with state persistence

Domain Expert Selection

Inferred from context/PRODUCT.md:

Domain Keywords Suggested Agent
ML, model, training data-science-modeler
API, backend, database backend-engineer
Agent, autonomous, LLM ai-engineer
(No match) Ask user / product-manager fallback

Files Changed

  • workflows/PROJECT_INIT_WORKFLOW.md - Major enhancements (+645 lines)
  • Removed unused: .serena/.gitignore, CHANGELOG.md, research/EDA.ipynb

Test Plan

  • Run workflow with missing specialists → verify agent creation flow
  • Implement a feature → verify domain/architecture feedback triggers
  • Intentionally over-engineer → verify architecture review catches it
  • Test restart recovery via Workflow State section

Phase 0 Enhancements:
- Add agent creation sub-phases (0.1-0.3) for missing specialists
- Add Workflow State section for restart recovery
- Add domain expert selection logic (inferred from PRODUCT.md)
- Add skills configuration step

New Roles:
- domain-expert: Business alignment, PRD compliance validation
- architecture-reviewer: Over-engineering detection, ADR compliance

Phase 3.4 & 4.3 Domain/Architecture Feedback:
- Sequential review: domain first, then architecture
- Blocking gates before approval
- Max 2 feedback cycles, then escalate to user
- Over-engineering signals explicitly defined

Updated Approval Gates:
- Require domain (ALIGNED) + architecture (APPROPRIATE) pass
- Added "Re-run feedback" option

Also: Remove unused files (.serena/.gitignore, CHANGELOG.md, research/EDA.ipynb)
