Command Syntax Rules

⚠️ CRITICAL: Always use slash commands for precise persona orchestration

✅ Correct Usage:

/coherence           # Launch orchestrator
/dev                 # Activate developer
/qa-framework        # Access QA suite
/qa-framework # 4x faster testing

❌ Incorrect Usage:

"Act as developer"   # Natural language - 4.6x slower
"Be the QA"         # Missing slash - no parallelism  
"Load architect"    # Imprecise - missing files
