Phases

Phase	Command	Orchestrator	What happens
0. Start	/vt-c-0-start	—	See the workflow, validate readiness
1. Bootstrap	/vt-c-1-bootstrap	—	Scaffold project structure
2. Plan	/vt-c-2-plan	conceptual	Research, architecture, specs
3. Build	/vt-c-3-build	—	Implementation with learning capture
4. Review	/vt-c-4-review	implementation	6 parallel code reviewers
5. Finalize	/vt-c-5-finalize	finalization	Final quality verification
6. Operate	/vt-c-6-operate	bugfix, incident	Production issue handling

When to use

Use the development workflow when you're writing code: APIs, web apps, services, libraries, CLI tools.

Typical flow

1. Create PRD.md with your vision
2. /vt-c-1-bootstrap typescript-api my-project
3. /vt-c-2-plan "Implement core features from PRD"
4. Write code based on the plan
5. /vt-c-4-review
6. Fix issues from the review
7. /vt-c-5-finalize
8. Merge PR to main

Key features

• Automatic knowledge capture: /vt-c-journal records decisions during development
• 6 parallel reviewers: security, TypeScript quality, race conditions, complexity, performance, patterns
• Security hooks: secret scanning and security lint on every write
• Learning loop: solutions compound over time
