⚡ Why Gem Team?

The Problem with Single-Agent AI

Traditional AI coding assistants hit walls when projects get complex:

• Context overload — One agent trying to hold everything leads to mistakes
• No specialization — Jack of all trades, master of none
• Sequential bottlenecks — Tasks execute one-by-one, wasting time
• Missing verification — Changes ship without proper testing
• No audit trail — What changed? Why? Who knows...

The Gem Team Solution

Challenge	Gem Team Approach
🧠 Context Overload	Specialized agents with focused expertise — each holds only what it needs
🎯 Lack of Specialization	8 expert agents: researcher, planner, implementer, tester, reviewer, devops, and documentation specialist
🐢 Sequential Bottlenecks	DAG-based parallel execution — up to 4 agents work simultaneously
❌ Missing Verification	Verification-first: no task completes without passing its verification command
📜 No Audit Trail	Persistent plan.md state file tracks every decision, status, and outcome

Key Benefits

• 🚀 10x Faster Execution — Parallel agent execution eliminates bottlenecks
• 🎯 Higher Quality Output — Specialized agents + mandatory verification = fewer bugs
• 🔒 Built-in Security — Dedicated reviewer agent applies OWASP scanning on critical tasks
• 📊 Full Visibility — Real-time plan status, clear approval gates, comprehensive summaries
• 🔄 Resilient Workflows — Pre-mortem analysis, failure handling, and automatic replanning

🚀 Overview

Gem Team follows a Strategic Planner/Dynamic Orchestrator pattern. It decomposes high-level user goals into a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) of tasks, executes them in parallel across specialized agents, and maintains a rigorous state-controlled workflow.

Workflow Stages

1. Inception — Orchestrator receives goal → delegates to multiple Researchers (by focus area)
2. Findings Review — Orchestrator presents consolidated research findings via plan_review → MANDATORY PAUSE → iterates on feedback until findings are approved
3. Planning — Planner synthesizes findings, creates 3-7 atomic tasks with dependencies, runs pre-mortem analysis, saves plan.md
4. Plan Approval — Planner presents plan via plan_review → MANDATORY PAUSE → iterates on feedback until approved
5. Delegation — Orchestrator identifies "ready" tasks (dependencies met) → launches up to 4 agents in parallel via runSubagent
6. Execution — Workers execute changes and run verification commands before returning results
7. Synthesis — Orchestrator processes handoffs, updates plan.md, routes failures for revision/retry
8. Batch Confirmation — Orchestrator presents summary via walkthrough_review → MANDATORY PAUSE
9. Loop — Repeat delegation/synthesis until all tasks complete. Triggers replanning if stuck.
10. Delivery — Final comprehensive walkthrough_review summary presented

🛠 Key Features

🔍 Focus-Based Context Gathering

The Orchestrator identifies key domains or features and launches multiple Researcher agents in parallel, each targeting a specific focus_area. This ensures deep, specific context is gathered for every part of the system before the Planner synthesizes it all into a unified plan.md.

⚡ Parallel Execution Engine

Up to 4 concurrent agents execute independent tasks simultaneously, dramatically reducing total execution time while maintaining resource stability.

🧪 Verification-First (TDD)

No task completes without passing its defined verification command. Implementers follow strict TDD discipline:

• Write tests FIRST
• Confirm tests FAIL
• Write MINIMAL code to pass
• Check get_errors after every edit

🛡️ Security-First Review

The Reviewer agent acts as a security gatekeeper for critical tasks:

• OWASP Top 10 scanning
• Secrets/PII detection
• Compliance verification
• Tiered review depth (Full → Standard → Lightweight)

📊 Pre-Mortem Analysis

For complex plans, the Planner runs pre-mortem analysis — identifying potential failure modes, their likelihood, impact, and mitigation strategies BEFORE execution begins.

📝 Plan Continuity & Audit Trail

State persists in docs/plan/{plan_id}/plan.md, providing:

• Recovery from interruptions
• Complex retry handling
• Clear audit trail of project evolution
• Full traceability of decisions

🧠 Cross-Agent Memory

Agents share knowledge via a memory system with citations:

• Researcher reads memories to understand project context before exploration
• Planner stores architectural decisions, design patterns, tech stack choices
• Orchestrator stores project-level decisions, product vision, norms
• Just-in-time verification: Citations (file:line) are checked before using memories

🔒 Agent Hierarchy

User → Orchestrator → Subagents (via runSubagent)

• Orchestrator: disable-model-invocation: true — delegates only, never executes
• Subagents: disable-model-invocation: false — execute tasks via tools
• Isolation: Subagents cannot call other subagents — all collaboration mediated by Orchestrator
