sparc-methodology
SPARC development workflow: Specification, Pseudocode, Architecture, Refinement, Completion. A structured approach for complex implementations that ensures thorough planning before coding. Use when: new feature implementation, complex implementations, architectural changes, system redesign, integration work, unclear requirements. Skip when: simple bug fixes, documentation updates, configuration changes, well-defined small tasks, routine maintenance.
How do I install this agent skill?

- Gen Agent Trust Hubpass
The skill implements the SPARC development methodology using local bash scripts and an external CLI tool. It is functionally safe for its intended purpose but includes a dependency on an external npm package and presents an indirect prompt injection surface through unvalidated user input in command templates.

What does this agent skill do?
Sparc Methodology Skill
Purpose
SPARC development workflow: Specification, Pseudocode, Architecture, Refinement, Completion. A structured approach for complex implementations that ensures thorough planning before coding.
When to Trigger
- new feature implementation
- complex implementations
- architectural changes
- system redesign
- integration work
- unclear requirements
When to Skip
- simple bug fixes
- documentation updates
- configuration changes
- well-defined small tasks
- routine maintenance
Commands
Specification Phase
Define requirements, acceptance criteria, and constraints
npx @claude-flow/cli hooks route --task "specification: [requirements]"
Example:
npx @claude-flow/cli hooks route --task "specification: user authentication with OAuth2, MFA, and session management"
Pseudocode Phase
Write high-level pseudocode for the implementation
npx @claude-flow/cli hooks route --task "pseudocode: [feature]"
Example:
npx @claude-flow/cli hooks route --task "pseudocode: OAuth2 login flow with token refresh"
Architecture Phase
Design system structure, interfaces, and dependencies
npx @claude-flow/cli hooks route --task "architecture: [design]"
Example:
npx @claude-flow/cli hooks route --task "architecture: auth module with service layer, repository, and API endpoints"
Refinement Phase
Iterate on the design based on feedback
npx @claude-flow/cli hooks route --task "refinement: [feedback]"
Example:
npx @claude-flow/cli hooks route --task "refinement: add rate limiting and brute force protection"
Completion Phase
Finalize implementation with tests and documentation
npx @claude-flow/cli hooks route --task "completion: [final checks]"
Example:
npx @claude-flow/cli hooks route --task "completion: verify all tests pass, update API docs, security review"
SPARC Coordinator
Spawn SPARC coordinator agent
npx @claude-flow/cli agent spawn --type sparc-coord --name sparc-lead

Best Practices
- Check memory for existing patterns before starting
- Use hierarchical topology for coordination
- Store successful patterns after completion
- Document any new learnings
