Notes
Design Decisions
- Hooks Priority - Git hooks are P0 because they enable automated quality gates
- Security-First - Security skills before performance because security bugs are more costly
- Skills over Agents - Skills are more reusable and token-efficient than specialized agents
- Incremental Rollout - Phase-based to ensure quality at each step
Future Considerations
- AI-powered auto-remediation for security findings
- Self-improving hooks based on team patterns
- Integration with Linear/Jira for issue tracking
- Metrics dashboard for component usage analytics
Risks & Mitigation
| Risk | Impact | Probability | Mitigation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Scope creep in P0 | High | Medium | Strict P0 scope, defer to P1 |
| Hook compatibility issues | Medium | Low | Test across OS/shell environments |
| Security tool licensing | Medium | Low | Prefer open-source tools (Semgrep) |
| Token budget for new skills | Low | Medium | Enforce progressive disclosure |
