​
Overview

The Master Agent is the orchestrator of the AI-DLC flow. It maintains awareness of the entire project state and routes you to the appropriate specialized agent.

​
Invocation

​
Commands

​
project-init

Initializes your project with standards. This is typically the first command you run.
The agent guides you through establishing:
1

Tech Stack

Languages, frameworks, databases, infrastructure choices
2

Coding Standards

Formatting, linting, naming conventions, testing strategy
3

System Architecture

Architecture style, API design, state management patterns
4

UX Guide (Optional)

Design system, styling, accessibility guidelines
5

API Conventions (Optional)

API style, versioning, response formats
Each standard is established through a facilitation guide that asks relevant questions and generates the standard document.

​
analyze-context

Shows the current state of your project:
Output includes:
  • Active intents and their status
  • Units in progress
  • Current bolt stage
  • Incomplete artifacts
  • Suggested next actions

​
route-request

When you’re not sure which agent to use:
The Master Agent analyzes your request and directs you:

​
explain-flow

Get an explanation of the AI-DLC methodology:
Topics you can ask about:
  • The three phases (Inception, Construction, Operations)
  • What Intents, Units, and Bolts are
  • How checkpoints work
  • Memory Bank structure

​
answer-question

Get help with any specs.md question:
The agent provides context-aware answers using:
  • AI-DLC methodology knowledge
  • Your project’s current state
  • Memory Bank artifacts

​
Routing Flow

The Master Agent doesn’t have checkpoints - it routes to specialized agents based on project state:
The Master Agent is the entry point. It determines where you are in the AI-DLC flow and routes you to the appropriate specialist agent.

​
When to Use Master Agent

Starting a New Project

Run project-init to establish standards

Unsure Where to Go

Use route-request to find the right agent

Need Orientation

Run analyze-context to see project state

Learning AI-DLC

Use explain-flow for methodology guidance

Best Practices

For new projects, always start with the Master Agent and project-init.
Use analyze-context to understand where you are in the flow.
When unsure, ask the Master Agent. It knows the methodology.
