Workflows

The core plugin provides both workflows:

• Unified Product Development (/vt-c-pd-0-start through /vt-c-6-operate) — 14 phases spanning design and development
• Knowledge Work (/vt-c-kw-0-start through /vt-c-kw-4-publish) — 5 phases, legacy (redirects to unified workflow)

Orchestrators

• conceptual-orchestrator — research, architecture, specs (/plan)
• implementation-orchestrator — code review (/review)
• finalization-orchestrator — final quality checks (/vt-c-finalize-check)
• bugfix-orchestrator — bug investigation (/vt-c-investigate-bug)
• incident-orchestrator — production incidents (/incident-response)
• product-design-orchestrator — product design coordination
• knowledge-work-orchestrator — knowledge work coordination

Security

Always-on security hooks:

• Secret scanner — blocks hardcoded credentials on every file write
• Security lint — warns about dangerous patterns (eval(), innerHTML, raw SQL)

Global rules

The plugin installs ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md which enforces:

• Scope discipline — only change what's requested
• No assumptions — ask when uncertain
• No placeholders — use real values or environment variables
• Branch-based git — never commit to main directly
• Security-first — validate input, sanitize output, escape templates
