disable-model-invocation: true

Swarm-enabled LFG. Run these steps in order, parallelizing where indicated. Do not stop between steps — complete every step through to the end.

Sequential Phase

1. `/workflows:brainstorm $ARGUMENTS` **Gate:** must produce a file in `docs/brainstorms/` before proceeding.

2. `/workflows:plan` **Gate:** must produce a file in `docs/plans/` before proceeding.

3. `/workflows:work` — **Use swarm mode**: Break the plan into independent tasks and launch parallel subagents via Task tool to build them concurrently. Each subagent handles one task from the plan. See `references/orchestration-patterns.md` for parallel dispatch patterns. **Gate:** must produce at least one code change (committed or staged) before proceeding. If work fails with no changes, stop and report the failure.

Parallel Phase

After work completes, launch steps 4 and 5 as **parallel swarm agents** (both only need completed code to operate):

4. `/workflows:review` — spawn as background Task agent 5. `/workflows:compound` — spawn as background Task agent

Wait for both to complete before finishing.

Output

When all steps are done, output:

Research workflow complete.
