  • 12-15x Faster Releases: Complete release process in 20 minutes vs 4-5 hours
  • 34+ Hours/Week Saved: Per development team through intelligent automation
  • 92% Test Prediction Accuracy: AI/ML powered quality assurance
  • Zero CLI Crashes: Rock-solid integration with Claude Code

🎯 Core Principles

Unity from Multiplicity

Transform multiple AI personas into coherent, coordinated output. Each persona maintains its expertise while contributing to a unified workflow.

Orchestrated Intelligence

Not just AI, but coordinated AI. Like a conductor leading an orchestra, Coherence ensures every persona plays its part perfectly in harmony.

Precision Context Control

Engineering-grade persona management with seamless transitions, context preservation, and intelligent handoff protocols.


👥 Available Personas (11 Total)

Persona Command Role Key Capabilities
Orchestrator /coherence Central Coordinator Unified context engineering, system coordination
Analyst /analyst Research Specialist Requirements gathering, user stories, project briefs
PM /pm Product Manager PRDs, feature planning, roadmap management
Architect /architect System Designer Technical architecture, system design, API specs
Design Architect /design-architect UX/UI Specialist UI design, frontend architecture, design systems
PO /po Product Owner Backlog management, story grooming, stakeholder communication
SM /sm Scrum Master Sprint planning, story creation, process improvement
Developer /dev Implementation Code development, technical solutions, debugging
QA /qa Quality Assurance Testing strategies, quality frameworks, automation

🎯 Common Workflows

📋 New Project Workflow

  1. Setup: Install and configure Coherence
  2. Analysis: /analyst for project brief and requirements
  3. Planning: /pm for PRD and feature planning
  4. Architecture: /architect for system design
  5. Development: Parallel development with /dev and /qa

🚀 Release Management

  1. Version Control: /version 4.2.0 for version updates
  2. Quality Assurance: /qa-framework for comprehensive testing
  3. Release Automation: /release 4.2.0 for GitHub releases

🔄 Ongoing Development

  1. Story Management: /po for backlog grooming

⚠️ Critical Usage Notes

🎯 ALWAYS Use Native Claude Code Slash Commands

COHERENCE REQUIRES SLASH COMMANDS FOR PRECISE PERSONA ORCHESTRATION

✅ CORRECT Usage:

/coherence   /analyst   /pm   /architect   /dev   /qa

❌ INCORRECT Usage:

"Please load analyst"   "Act as developer"   "Be the QA"

Without native Claude Code slash commands: 4.6x slower performance, missing files, no parallelism, 20x higher error rate.

📖 Essential Reading

After installation, read the Quick Start Guide for proper usage patterns and best practices.
