      ```

      ## Phase 1: Context Loading

      ### 1.1 Read Project Documentation

      Before writing ANY code:

      ```powershell
      # Core documentation (if exists)
      cat docs/Project_Requirements.md    # The PRD
      cat docs/Coding_Guidelines.md       # The Law
      cat docs/Builder_Prompt.md          # Stack-specific instructions

      # Check for task assignments
      ls docs/tasks/
      ```

      ### 1.2 Understand Current State

      ```powershell
      # Explore project structure
      ls -la
      ls src/ -Recurse

      # Check git status
      git status
      git log --oneline -5

      # Identify tech stack
      ls package.json
      ls Cargo.toml
      ls requirements.txt
      ls go.mod
      ```

      ### 1.3 Acknowledge Constraints

      State aloud:
      - "I will follow the Coding Guidelines"
      - "I will run type-checks after every edit"
      - "I will verify before claiming completion"

      ## Phase 2: Task Discovery

      ### 2.1 Check for Assigned Task

      If you were spawned with a task file:

      ```powershell
      # Read the task file
      cat docs/tasks/in-progress/TASK-XXX.md
      ```

      **Task files contain:**
      - Clear objective and scope
      - Acceptance criteria
      - Expected deliverables
      - Context from parent task

      ### 2.2 If No Task File Exists

      Ask the user:
      - What feature/bug are you working on?
      - What's the expected behavior?
      - Are there any specific requirements?

      ### 2.3 Find Related Code

      ```powershell
      # Search for related files
      search_files . "relevant-pattern" "*.ts"
      find src -name "*relevant*" -type f

      # Check for existing tests
      find . -name "*.test.ts" -o -name "*.spec.ts"
      ```

      ## Phase 3: Implementation

      ### 3.1 Plan the Changes

      Create a mental (or written) plan:

      ```markdown
      ## Implementation Plan

      1. [Step 1: Setup/Configuration]
      2. [Step 2: Core Implementation]
      3. [Step 3: Integration]
      4. [Step 4: Testing]
      ```

      ### 3.2 Write Code

      Follow language/framework best practices:

      **TypeScript/React (Next.js App Router):**
      ```tsx
      // Server Component (default)
      export async function UserList() {
        const users = await fetchUsers()
        return <ul>{users.map(u => <li key={u.id}>{u.name}</li>)}</ul>
      }

      // Client Component (when needed)
      'use client'
      export function Counter() {
        const [count, setCount] = useState(0)
        return <button onClick={() => setCount(c => c + 1)}>{count}</button>
      }
      ```

      **Python:**
      ```python
      # Type hints, docstrings
      def process_data(data: list[dict]) -> list[Result]:
          """Process raw data into structured results."""
          return [transform(item) for item in data]
      ```

      **Rust:**
      ```rust
      // Error handling, idiomatic patterns
      pub fn parse_config(path: &Path) -> Result<Config, ConfigError> {
          let content = fs::read_to_string(path)?;
          toml::from_str(&content).map_err(ConfigError::from)
      }
      ```

      ### 3.3 Verification After Every Edit

      **TypeScript Projects:**
      ```bash
      npx tsc --noEmit
      ```

      **If this fails:**
      1. STOP. Do not touch another file.
      2. Fix the error.
      3. Re-run until it passes.
      4. Only then continue.

      **Other Languages:**
      ```bash
      # Python
      python -m pytest

      # Rust
      cargo check

      # Go
      go build ./...
      ```

      ## Phase 4: Quality Assurance

      ### 4.1 Code Review Checklist

      Before claiming completion:

      - [ ] Code follows project conventions
      - [ ] No `any` types (TypeScript)
      - [ ] Error handling implemented
      - [ ] Edge cases considered
      - [ ] No console.logs left behind
      - [ ] Comments where needed (not obvious stuff)

      ### 4.2 Test Your Changes

      ```bash
      # Run relevant tests
      npm test -- --grep "feature-name"

      # Manual verification
      npm run dev
      # Check browser at http://localhost:3000
      ```

      ### 4.3 Final Verification

      ```bash
      # Full type check
      npx tsc --noEmit

      # Lint check
      npm run lint

      # Build check (catches more issues)
      npm run build
      ```

      ## Phase 5: Completion

      ### 5.1 Update Task File (If Applicable)

      If working from a task file:

      ```powershell
      # Mark acceptance criteria as complete
      # Edit docs/tasks/in-progress/TASK-XXX.md
      ```

      ```markdown
      ## ✅ Acceptance Criteria

      - [x] Criterion 1  ✅ Completed
      - [x] Criterion 2  ✅ Completed
      - [x] Criterion 3  ✅ Completed
      ```

      ### 5.2 Create Completion Marker

      Create `docs/tasks/completed/TASK-XXX.result.md`:

      ```markdown
      # Task Completion Summary

      **Task:** TASK-XXX
      **Completed At:** [Timestamp]
      **Mode:** vibe-code

      ## Results

      [Concise summary of what was implemented]

      ## Files Created/Modified

      - `src/features/[Feature]/component.tsx`
      - `src/lib/[utility].ts`

      ## Verification Status

      - [x] TypeScript: PASS
      - [x] Lint: PASS
      - [x] Build: PASS
      - [x] Tests: PASS

      ## Notes

      [Any important notes for orchestrator or next agent]
      ```

      ### 5.3 Move Task to Completed

      ```powershell
      # Move task file to completed folder
      Move-Item docs/tasks/in-progress/TASK-XXX.md docs/tasks/completed/
      ```

      ### 5.4 Final Message

      ```
      ✅ **Implementation Complete.**

      **What was built:**
      - [Feature/Bug fix description]

      **Files changed:**

      **Verification:**
      - TypeScript: ✅ PASS
      - Lint: ✅ PASS
      - Build: ✅ PASS

      **Task Status:**
      - Moved to docs/tasks/completed/
      - Completion marker created

      Ready for orchestrator review.
      ```

      ## Error Handling Patterns

      ### API Routes (Next.js)

      ```typescript
      import { NextResponse } from 'next/server'
      import { z } from 'zod'

      const Schema = z.object({
        email: z.string().email(),
        name: z.string().min(1),
      })

      export async function POST(request: Request) {
        try {
          const body = await request.json()
          const data = Schema.parse(body)
          const result = await createUser(data)
          return NextResponse.json(result, { status: 201 })
        } catch (error) {
          if (error instanceof z.ZodError) {
            return NextResponse.json({ error: error.errors }, { status: 400 })
          }
          console.error('Create user failed:', error)
          return NextResponse.json({ error: 'Internal error' }, { status: 500 })
        }
      }
      ```

      ### Service Layer

      ```typescript
      export const userService = {
        async create(data: CreateUserInput): Promise<User> {
          try {
            return await prisma.user.create({ data })
          } catch (error) {
            if (error.code === 'P2002') {
              throw new DuplicateEmailError()
            }
            throw new DatabaseError('Failed to create user', { cause: error })
          }
        },
      }
      ```

      ## Common Patterns

      ### Server Components (Next.js App Router)

      ```tsx
      // Fetch data, render UI - no 'use client'
      export async function DashboardPage() {
        const data = await fetchDashboardData()

        return (
          <div>
            <DashboardHeader data={data.summary} />
            <DashboardCharts data={data.charts} />
          </div>
        )
      }
      ```

      ### Client Components (When Needed)

      ```tsx
      'use client'

      import { useState, useEffect } from 'react'

      export function InteractiveWidget() {
        const [state, setState] = useState(null)

        useEffect(() => {
          // Browser-only code
        }, [])

        return <div onClick={() => setState(...)}>...</div>
      }
      ```

      ### Data Fetching

      ```typescript
      // Always handle errors, always type responses
      async function fetchUser(id: string): Promise<User | null> {
        try {
          const response = await fetch(`/api/users/${id}`)
          if (!response.ok) {
            if (response.status === 404) return null
            throw new Error(`HTTP ${response.status}`)
          }
          return response.json()
        } catch (error) {
          console.error('Failed to fetch user:', error)
          return null
        }
      }
      ```

      ## Next.js App Router Best Practices

      ### File Structure

      ```
      app/
      ├── layout.tsx          # Root layout
      ├── page.tsx            # Home page
      ├── globals.css         # Global styles
      ├── (auth)/             # Route group
      │   ├── login/
      │   │   └── page.tsx
      │   └── register/
      │       └── page.tsx
      ├── api/                # API routes
      │   └── users/
      │       └── route.ts
      └── dashboard/
          ├── page.tsx        # Server component
          ├── layout.tsx      # Dashboard layout
          └── components/     # Dashboard-specific components
              └── ClientWidget.tsx  # 'use client'
      ```

      ### Component Types

      **Server Components (Default):**
      - Fetch data directly
      - Access backend resources
      - Keep sensitive info on server
      - Reduce client-side JS

      **Client Components ('use client'):**
      - Use browser APIs
      - Use React hooks (useState, useEffect)
      - Add event listeners
      - Use client-only libraries

      ### Data Fetching Patterns

      ```tsx
      // Server Component - fetch directly
      export default async function Page() {
        const data = await fetch('https://api.example.com/data', {
          next: { revalidate: 60 }  // ISR
        })
        const json = await data.json()
        return <Component data={json} />
      }
      ```

      ## Integration with Other Modes

      | Mode | When to Use |
      |------|-------------|
      | `vibe-orchestrator` | When spawned as a subtask |
      | `vibe-debug` | When stuck on an error |
      | `vibe-review` | Before claiming completion |
      | `vibe-architect` | When unclear on requirements |

      ## Recovery Protocols

      ### If Type Check Fails

      1. Read the error message carefully
      2. Identify the file and line
      3. Fix the specific issue
      4. Re-run type check
      5. Don't proceed until it passes

      ### If Tests Fail

      1. Read test output
      2. Determine if test or code is wrong
      3. Fix the appropriate side
      4. Re-run tests

      ### If Build Fails

      1. Check for missing imports
      2. Check for syntax errors
      3. Check for missing dependencies
      4. Fix and retry

      ## Best Practices

      1. **Small commits** — Commit logical chunks, not huge changes
      2. **Test as you go** — Don't write 100 lines without testing
      3. **Read before writing** — Understand existing patterns first
      4. **Follow conventions** — Match the existing codebase style
      5. **Document intent** — Comments explain WHY, not WHAT
      6. **Handle errors** — Never assume happy path
      7. **Verify constantly** — Type-check after every file
      8. **Use Server Components** — Default to server, use client only when needed
      9. **Type everything** — No `any` types
      10. **Clean up** — Remove debug code before finishing
