1. Main Workflow

Project Initialization

/maestro-init → /maestro-roadmap or /maestro-blueprint
StepCommandPurposeOutput
0/maestro-brainstorm (optional)Multi-role brainstormingguidance-specification.md
1/maestro-initInitialize .workflow/ directorystate.json, project.md, specs/

Milestone Pipeline

analyze → plan → execute → verify → review → test → milestone-audit → milestone-complete
StageCommandOutputArtifact
Analyze/maestro-analyzecontext.md, analysis.mdANL-{NNN}
Plan/maestro-planplan.json + TASK-*.jsonPLN-{NNN}
Execute/maestro-execute.summaries/, code changesEXC-{NNN}
Verify/maestro-execute (E2.7)verification.jsonVRF-{NNN}
Audit/maestro-milestone-auditaudit-report.md
Complete/maestro-milestone-completearchived to milestones/

Scope routing: No args = entire milestone; number = specific milestone (micro mode); text = macro exploration (macro mode). --dir specifies upstream output path directly.

Dual-Layer Analyze

LayerArgumentPurposeDownstream Routing
Macrotext, e.g. "user auth system"Requirement impact exploration, produces scope_verdictlarge→roadmap, medium/small→plan
Micronumber, e.g. 1Milestone-level 6-dimension deep analysisDirectly to plan
# Macro: explore requirement impact before roadmap
/maestro-analyze "Implement multi-tenancy"     # → scope_verdict: large → suggests roadmap

# Micro: Milestone-level deep analysis
/maestro-analyze 1                              # → 6-dimension scoring → directly to plan

# Pass upstream context
/maestro-analyze "Auth module" --from brainstorm:BRN-001

Six Usage Modes

A. Full milestone: analyze → plan → execute → verify (one shot, all phases)

B. Per-milestone: analyze 1 → plan 1 → execute 1 (each milestone independently, micro layer)

C. Mixed: Full analysis + per-phase execution + adhoc mid-stream

D. Unified planning: analyze 1 → analyze 2 → plan → execute (analyze first, plan once)

E. Standalone: analyze "topic" → plan --dir → execute --dir (no init/roadmap needed)

F. Macro exploration: analyze "requirement" → scope_verdict → roadmap or plan (macro layer, use before roadmap)


2. Quick Channel

/maestro-quick "Fix login page bug"              # Shortest path
/maestro-quick --full "Refactor API layer"       # With plan validation
/maestro-quick --discuss "Database migration"    # With decision extraction

# Scratch mode (no init required)
/maestro-analyze "Implement JWT auth"            # scope=standalone
/maestro-plan --dir scratch/20260420-analyze-xxx
/maestro-execute --dir scratch/20260420-plan-xxx

# Lite chain
/workflow-lite-plan "Implement Issue system"     # explore→plan→execute→test

3. Issue Closed-Loop

Discover → Create → Analyze → Plan → Execute → Close
/manage-issue-discover by-prompt "Check API error handling"
/manage-issue create --title "Memory leak" --severity high
/maestro-analyze --gaps ISS-xxx                  # Root cause analysis
/maestro-plan --gaps                             # Solution planning
/maestro-execute                                 # Execute fix
/manage-issue close ISS-xxx --resolution "Fixed"

Commander Agent auto-advances unanalyzed Issues with priority execute > analyze > plan.


4. Quality Pipeline

/maestro-execute /quality-auto-test /quality-review /quality-test /maestro-milestone-audit
CommandPurposeKey Parameters
/quality-auto-test {N}Smart routing test (spec/gap/code)--re-run --dry-run

7. Odyssey Series

Academic research and deep improvement workflows — 5 commands covering debugging, improvement, requirement implementation, code review, and UI optimization.

Command Overview

CommandPurposeCore Flow
/odyssey-debugDeep debugging closed-loopArchaeology → Explore → Diagnose → Fix → Confirm → Generalize → Discover → Persist
/odyssey-improveCodebase quality improvementSurvey → 6-dimension audit → Diagnose → Fix → Verify → Generalize → Discover → Persist
/odyssey-planexRequirement-driven iterative deliveryParse requirement → Acceptance criteria → Plan → Execute → Verify → Fix loop → Generalize
/odyssey-review-test-fixDeep code review + fixArchaeology → Explore → Multi-dimension review → Exhaustive fix → Confirm → Generalize → Discover → Persist
/odyssey-uiUI visual experience optimizationSurvey → 6-dimension audit → Divergent exploration → Fix → Verify → Generalize → Discover → Persist

Common Traits

  • Zero-residual principle: Every finding must have a concrete action (fix / create Issue / record decision) — no "report and shelve"
  • Phase auto-commit: Automatic git commit after each phase, no user confirmation needed
  • Multi CLI assist: Cross-validation via maestro delegate with multiple tools
  • Quality gate self-iteration: Each analytical phase auto-evaluates coverage/depth/actionability, re-enters if insufficient (max 3 rounds)
  • Knowledge persistence: S_RECORD phase writes reusable knowledge to understanding.md, later persisted via /spec-add
  • Session resumable: -c flag resumes last session, -y auto-confirms all decision points

/odyssey-debug — Deep Debugging

/odyssey-debug "Login API returns 500"                # Full debug loop
/odyssey-debug "Memory leak" --template memory-leak   # Predefined strategy
/odyssey-debug "Performance degradation" --skip-fix    # Analysis only
/odyssey-debug "Race condition" -y                     # Full auto mode
/odyssey-debug -c                                      # Resume last session
ParameterDescription
<issue>Issue description
--template <name>Predefined strategy: performance / memory-leak / race-condition / regression / crash
--skip-fixAnalysis only, no fix execution
--skip-generalizeSkip generalization scan
--autoCLI delegates without confirmation
-yAuto-confirm all decisions
-cResume most recent session

Output: session.json + evidence.ndjson + explore.json + understanding.md (9 sections)

/odyssey-improve — Codebase Quality Improvement

/odyssey-improve src/auth/                            # Audit specific module
/odyssey-improve HEAD                                 # Audit recent changes
/odyssey-improve --dimensions performance,security    # Specify dimensions
/odyssey-improve --all --skip-fix                     # Full project scan, review only
ParameterDescription
<target>Module path / HEAD / staged / keyword / --all
--dimensions <list>6-dimension subset: performance / security / architecture / reliability / observability / maintainability
--fix-threshold <severity>Fix threshold: all / critical / high / medium / low
--skip-fixAudit + diagnose only
--skip-generalizeSkip generalization

6 dimensions: Performance (hot paths, N+1 queries), Security (OWASP Top 10), Architecture (layer violations, circular deps), Reliability (error handling), Observability (logging coverage), Maintainability (complexity, dead code)

/odyssey-planex — Requirement-Driven Iterative Delivery

/odyssey-planex "Implement JWT authentication"         # Full requirement loop
/odyssey-planex "Fix login bug" --template bugfix      # Bug fix template
/odyssey-planex "Refactor API layer" --template refactor  # Refactor template
/odyssey-planex "Implement payments" --max-iterations 5   # Max 5 verify cycles
/odyssey-planex "Migrate DB" --method cli --executor codex  # CLI execution
ParameterDescription
<requirement>Requirement description
--template <name>Template: feature / bugfix / refactor / migration / api-endpoint
--max-iterations NMax verify→fix cycles (default 3)
--method agent|cli|autoExecution method
--executor <tool>Explicit CLI executor tool
--skip-verifySkip post-execution validation gate

Core loop: Define acceptance criteria → Plan → Execute → Verify each criterion → Fix failures → Re-verify until all pass

/odyssey-review-test-fix — Deep Code Review

/odyssey-review-test-fix src/api/                     # Review specific directory
/odyssey-review-test-fix HEAD                         # Review recent changes
/odyssey-review-test-fix --dimensions correctness,security  # Specify dimensions
/odyssey-review-test-fix --fix-threshold high         # Only fix critical + high
ParameterDescription
<target>File/dir path / HEAD / staged / Phase number / PR number
--dimensions <list>Dimension subset: correctness / security / performance / architecture
--fix-threshold <severity>Fix threshold (default all = exhaustive)
--skip-fixReview only
--skip-generalizeSkip generalization

Exhaustive fix: Per severity tier (critical → high → medium → low), re-review modified area after each tier

/odyssey-ui — UI Visual Experience Optimization

/odyssey-ui src/components/Header/                    # Audit specific component
/odyssey-ui --dimensions visual_hierarchy,accessibility  # Specify dimensions
/odyssey-ui --skip-fix                                # Review + divergent exploration only
ParameterDescription
<target>Component/page path / staged / HEAD / feature area name
--dimensions <list>6-dimension subset: visual_hierarchy / interaction_states / accessibility / responsiveness / micro_interactions / edge_cases
--skip-fixReview only
--skip-generalizeSkip generalization

Unique phase: S_DIVERGE (Divergent exploration) — Goes beyond defect fixing to ask "what would make this delightful?"


8. Ralph Lifecycle Engine

Ralph is the adaptive lifecycle engine that reads project state → infers position → builds adaptive step chains → delegates execution.

/maestro-ralph — Adaptive Decision Engine

/maestro-ralph "Implement user authentication"        # Auto-infer position and build chain
/maestro-ralph "phase 2"                              # Specify phase
/maestro-ralph status                                 # View current session status
/maestro-ralph continue                               # Resume execution
/maestro-ralph -y "Refactor API layer"                # Full auto mode

Core invariants:

  • Ralph only builds and evaluates, never executes steps
  • status.json is the single source of truth
  • Hands off execution via Skill("maestro-ralph-execute")
  • Every step must have completion_confirmed: true

Decision gates: post-execute / post-business-test / post-review / post-test / post-goal-audit / post-analyze-scope / post-milestone — auto-evaluates quality gate results, decides proceed / fix / escalate

/maestro-ralph-execute — Single-Step Executor

/maestro-ralph-execute                                # Execute next pending step
/maestro-ralph-execute -y                             # Auto mode

Ralph's executor: Locate session → Find next step → Load via maestro ralph next CLI → Inline execute → maestro ralph complete → Self-invoke next. Mutual invocation with /maestro-ralph forms a self-perpetuating work loop.


9. Additional maestro-* Commands

/maestro-amend — Workflow Deficiency Fix

/maestro-amend --scan                                 # Auto-scan .workflow/ for signals
/maestro-amend --from-verify .workflow/scratch/xxx    # Collect from verification results
/maestro-amend --from-review .workflow/scratch/xxx    # Collect from code review
/maestro-amend --from-issues ISS-001,ISS-002          # Collect from Issues
/maestro-amend "Missing verification after execute"   # Direct description

Signal-driven overlay generator — collects workflow deficiency signals from multiple sources, diagnoses which commands need amendment, batch-generates targeted overlays. Unlike /maestro-overlay (single explicit intent), this command discovers what needs amending.

/maestro-collab — Multi-Tool Cross-Verification

/maestro-collab "Evaluate microservice decomposition"  # Multi-tool parallel analysis
/maestro-collab "Review security architecture" --tools gemini,claude  # Specify tools
/maestro-collab "API design review" --mode analysis    # Read-only analysis mode

Fans out requirement to multiple CLI tools in parallel → cross-verifies for consensus/conflicts → synthesizes unified report (collab-report.md + context.md + conclusions.json).

/maestro-composer — Workflow Template Composer

/maestro-composer "Analyze → Plan → Execute → Test"   # Create template from natural language
/maestro-composer --resume                             # Resume incomplete design
/maestro-composer --edit ~/.maestro/templates/workflows/xxx.json  # Edit existing template

Interactive workflow template composer: natural language → DAG template. Three-phase confirmation (intent → node mapping → pipeline visualization), auto-injects checkpoints, produces templates executable by /maestro-player.

/maestro-fork — Milestone Worktree Parallel Dev

/maestro-fork -m 2                                    # Create worktree for Milestone 2
/maestro-fork -m 2 --base develop                     # Specify base branch
/maestro-fork -m 2 --sync                             # Sync latest main changes

Creates or syncs a milestone-level git worktree for parallel development. Auto-copies shared .workflow/ files, writes scope marker and scoped state.json.

/maestro-merge — Milestone Worktree Merge

/maestro-merge -m 2                                   # Merge Milestone 2 worktree
/maestro-merge -m 2 --dry-run                         # Preview merge
/maestro-merge -m 2 --no-cleanup                      # Merge but keep worktree
/maestro-merge -m 2 --continue                        # Continue after conflict resolution

Merges a milestone worktree branch back into main, syncs scratch artifacts, reconciles artifact registry. Two-phase: git merge first, artifact sync second.

/maestro-guard — Editing Boundary Management

/maestro-guard on                                     # Enable boundary protection
/maestro-guard off                                    # Disable
/maestro-guard status                                 # View status
/maestro-guard allow src/                             # Allow editing src/ directory
/maestro-guard deny node_modules/                     # Deny editing node_modules/

Configures directory-level write boundaries enforced by the workflow-guard PreToolUse hook.

/maestro-milestone-release — Version Release

/maestro-milestone-release                            # Auto-bump minor version
/maestro-milestone-release 2.0.0                      # Specify version
/maestro-milestone-release --bump patch               # Patch bump
/maestro-milestone-release --dry-run                  # Preview changes
/maestro-milestone-release --no-tag --no-push         # Version + changelog only

Packages a completed milestone into a releasable version: version bump → changelog generation → git tag → push. Downstream of /maestro-milestone-complete.

/maestro-overlay — Command Overlay Creation

/maestro-overlay "Always run review after execute"     # Create overlay from natural language
/maestro-overlay "Load domain knowledge before analyze"  # Inject required_reading

Turns natural-language instructions into command overlays — JSON patch files that augment .claude/commands/*.md non-invasively. Supports injection point preview, skill chain configuration, idempotent installation. Management via maestro overlay list (ink TUI).

/maestro-player — Workflow Template Execution

/maestro-player wft-auth-flow-20260601                # Execute specified template
/maestro-player --list                                # List available templates
/maestro-player -c                                    # Resume paused session
/maestro-player wft-xxx --context goal="Implement auth"  # Bind context variables
/maestro-player wft-xxx --dry-run                     # Preview execution plan

Loads workflow templates (from /maestro-composer) → binds context variables → executes DAG nodes in topological order → persists state at checkpoints → supports resume. Four node types: skill / cli / agent / checkpoint.

/maestro-tools-execute — Tool Spec Execution

/maestro-tools-execute integration-test               # Execute by name
/maestro-tools-execute --category coding              # Select by category
/maestro-tools-execute --category review --keyword api  # Keyword filter
/maestro-tools-execute                                # Interactive selection

Loads registered tool specs (knowhow documents with tool: true) and executes them step-by-step. Supports direct invocation by name or category-based listing.

/maestro-tools-register — Tool Spec Registration

/maestro-tools-register extract OAuth PKCE flow from src/auth/   # Extract from code
/maestro-tools-register generate Stripe webhook verification      # Generate new tool
/maestro-tools-register optimize e2e-checkout                     # Optimize existing tool
/maestro-tools-register promote RCP-db-migration as test tool     # Promote knowhow to tool

Codifies reusable business processes as knowhow documents (tool: true). Four modes: Extract (from code), Generate (new tool), Optimize (existing), Promote (elevate existing knowhow).

/maestro-ui-codify — Design System Extraction

/maestro-ui-codify src/components/                    # Extract design system from source
/maestro-ui-codify src/ --package-name my-design      # Specify package name
/maestro-ui-codify src/ --output-dir .workflow/ref    # Specify output directory

4-phase pipeline: Validate → Extract (3 parallel Agents) → Package (preview.html) → Knowhow persistence. Outputs design-tokens.json + layout-templates.json + preview + knowhow manifest.

/maestro-universal-workflow — Dynamic Adversarial Workflow Generation

/maestro-universal-workflow "Evaluate 3 caching strategies"  # Auto-match or generate
/maestro-universal-workflow "Review security" --depth deep   # Deep adversarial mode
/maestro-universal-workflow "Compare options" --dry-run      # Generate only
/maestro-universal-workflow --from wf-analyze "Extend analysis"  # Modify existing script

Dynamic workflow generator: scan library for matches → generate task-specific Workflow scripts (with adversarial patterns) → execute → persist. Scripts saved to ~/.maestro/workflows/dynamic/uwf-*.js for reuse. Three depths: shallow (1 skeptic) → standard (3-way advocacy + referee) → deep (cross-verify + meta-skeptic).

/maestro-update — Version Upgrade

/maestro-update                                       # Detect and upgrade
/maestro-update --dry-run                             # Preview upgrade plan
/maestro-update --force                               # Skip confirmation
/maestro-update --setup-only                          # Run only current version setup

Detects current version → runs schema migration → executes version-specific upgrade workflow. Auto-backs up state.json, supports incremental migration.

maestro workspace — Workspace Management

maestro workspace link <path>                         # Link external workspace
maestro workspace unlink <path>                       # Unlink
maestro workspace list                                # List all linked workspaces
maestro workspace status                              # View workspace status

Manages multi-project workspace links, supporting cross-project knowledge sharing and artifact references.

maestro domain — Domain Knowledge Management

maestro domain                                        # View current domain config

Manages project domain knowledge configuration, affecting spec injection and knowledge search scope.

/manage-kg-extractors — Knowledge Graph Extractor Config

/manage-kg-extractors                                 # Scan and generate extraction rules
/manage-kg-extractors --scan-only                     # Scan only, no write
/manage-kg-extractors --append                        # Append to existing config
/manage-kg-extractors --language typescript            # Limit to specific language

Analyzes codebase patterns to auto-generate .workflow/kg/extractors.yaml — teaches MaestroGraph's codegraph extractor to recognize project-specific symbols (builder/factory APIs, domain constants, custom decorators, etc.). 3 parallel agents scan builder/factory calls, constants/annotations, and framework-specific patterns.

store_knowhow MCP Tool

store_knowhow is a built-in MCP tool for knowledge entry storage and search:

OperationDescription
addCreate new knowhow entry (type: session/tip/template/recipe/reference/decision/asset/blueprint/document)
searchFull-text search knowhow entries

Entries are auto-indexed by WikiIndexer (type=knowhow, category={type}). Supports tags, categorization, and spec category bridging (specCategory parameter allows knowhow entries to be injected alongside spec entries).

insight-challenge — Finding Adversarial Review

Adversarial review of code quality findings. Challenges insights with counter-evidence, verifies claims against source code, and produces structured verdicts (confirmed / weakened / overturned).

delegation-check — Delegation Consistency Check

Validates that command delegation prompts (Agent() calls) and agent role definitions respect content separation boundaries. Detects 7 conflict dimensions: role re-definition, domain expertise leaking, quality gate duplication, output format conflicts, process override, scope authority conflicts, and missing contracts.

prompt-generator — Prompt File Generation

Generates or converts Claude Code prompt files — command orchestrators, skill files, agent role definitions, or style conversion of existing files. Follows GSD-style content separation with built-in quality gates.
