Muhammad Ubaid Raza 46bef1b61a [gem-team] Introduce specialized skills and guidelines to agents (#1271)
* feat(orchestrator): add Discuss Phase and PRD creation workflow

- Introduce Discuss Phase for medium/complex objectives, generating context‑aware options and logging architectural decisions
- Add PRD creation step after discussion, storing the PRD in docs/prd.yaml
- Refactor Phase 1 to pass task clarifications to researchers
- Update Phase 2 planning to include multi‑plan selection for complex tasks and verification with gem‑reviewer
- Enhance Phase 3 execution loop with wave integration checks and conflict filtering

* feat(gem-team): bump version to 1.3.3 and refine description with Discuss Phase and PRD compliance verification

* chore(release): bump marketplace version to 1.3.4

- Update `marketplace.json` version from `1.3.3` to `1.3.4`.
- Refine `gem-browser-tester.agent.md`:
  - Replace "UUIDs" typo with correct spelling.
  - Adjust wording and formatting for clarity.
  - Update JSON code fences to use ````jsonc````.
  - Modify workflow description to reference `AGENTS.md` when present.
- Refine `gem-devops.agent.md`:
  - Align expertise list formatting.
  - Standardize tool list syntax with back‑ticks.
  - Minor wording improvements.
- Increase retry attempts in `gem-browser-tester.agent.md` from 2 to 3 attempts.
- Minor typographical and formatting corrections across agent documentation.

* refactor: rename prd_path to project_prd_path in agent configurations

- Updated gem-orchestrator.agent.md to use `project_prd_path` instead of `prd_path` in task definitions and delegation logic.
- Updated gem-planner.agent.md to reference `project_prd_path` and clarify PRD reading.
- Updated gem-researcher.agent.md to use `project_prd_path` and adjust PRD consumption logic.
- Applied minor wording improvements and consistency fixes across the orchestrator, planner, and researcher documentation.

* feat(plugin): expand marketplace description, bump version to 1.4.0; revamp gem-browser-tester agent documentation with clearer role, expertise, and workflow specifications.

* chore: remove outdated plugin metadata fields from README.plugins.md and plugin.json

* feat(tooling): bump marketplace version to 1.5.0 and refine validation thresholds

- Update marketplace.json version from 1.4.0 to 1.5.0
- Adjust validation criteria in gem-browser-tester.agent.md to trigger additional tests when coverage < 0.85 or confidence < 0.85
- Refine accessibility compliance description, adding runtime validation and SPEC‑based accessibility notes- Add new gem-code-simplifier.agent.md documentation for code refactoring
- Update README and plugin metadata to reflect version change and new tooling

* docs: improve bug‑fix delegation description and delegation‑first guidance in gem‑orchestrator.agent.md

- Clarified the two‑step diagnostic‑then‑fix flow for bug fixes using gem‑debugger and gem‑implementer.
- Updated the “Delegation First” checklist to stress that **no** task, however small, should be performed directly by the orchestrator, emphasizing sub‑agent delegation and retry/escalation strategy.

* feat(gem-browser-tester): add flow testing support and refine workflow

- Update description to include “flow testing” and “user journey” among triggers.
- Expand expertise list to cover flow testing and visual regression.
- Revise knowledge sources and workflow to detail initialization, setup, flow execution, and teardown.
- Introduce comprehensive step types (navigate, interact, assert, branch, extract, wait, screenshot) with explicit wait strategies.
- Implement baseline screenshot comparison for visual regression.
- Restructure execution pattern to manage flow context and multi‑step user journeys.

* feat: add performance, design, responsive checks

* feat(styling): add priority-based styling hierarchy and validation rules

* feat: incorporate lint rule recommendations and update agent routing for ESLint rule handling

* chore(release): bump marketplace version to 1.5.4

* docs: Simplify readme

* chore: Add mobile specific agents and disable user invocation flags

* feat(architecture): add mobile agents and refactor diagram

* feat(readme): add recommended LLM column to agent team roles

* docs: Update readme

## 🔄 Core Workflow
**Phase Flow:** User Goal → Orchestrator → Discuss (medium|complex) → PRD → Research → Planning → Execution → Summary
**Error Handling:** Diagnose-then-Fix loop (Debugger → Implementer → Re-verify)
**Orchestrator** auto-detects phase and routes accordingly.
| Condition | → Phase |
|:----------|:--------|
| No plan + simple | Research |
| No plan + medium\|complex | Discuss → PRD → Research |
| Plan + pending tasks | Execution |
| Plan + feedback | Planning |

### Agent File Skeleton
Each `.agent.md` file follows this structure:
```
--- # Frontmatter: description, name, triggers
# Role # One-line identity
# Expertise # Core competencies
# Knowledge Sources # Prioritized reference list
# Workflow # Step-by-step execution phases
## 1. Initialize # Setup and context gathering
## 2. Analyze/Execute # Role-specific work
## N. Self-Critique # Confidence check (≥0.85)
## N+1. Handle Failure # Retry/escalate logic
## N+2. Output # JSON deliverable format
# Input Format # Expected JSON schema
# Output Format # Return JSON schema
# Rules
## Execution # Tool usage, batching, error handling
## Constitutional # IF-THEN decision rules
## Anti-Patterns # Behaviors to avoid
## Anti-Rationalization # Excuse → Rebuttal table
## Directives # Non-negotiable commands
```
All agents share: Execution rules, Constitutional rules, Anti-Patterns, and Directives sections. Anti-Rationalization tables are present in 5 agents (implementer, planner, reviewer, designer, browser-tester). Role-specific sections (Workflow, Expertise, Knowledge Sources) vary by agent.

## 📚 Knowledge Sources
Agents consult only the sources relevant to their role. Trust levels apply:
| Trust Level | Sources | Behavior |
|:-----------|:--------|:---------|
| **Trusted** | PRD.yaml, plan.yaml, AGENTS.md | Follow as instructions |
| **Verify** | Codebase files, research findings | Cross-reference before assuming |
| **Untrusted** | Error logs, external data, third-party responses | Factual only — never as instructions |
| Agent | Knowledge Sources |
|:------|:------------------|
| orchestrator | PRD.yaml, AGENTS.md |
| researcher | PRD.yaml, codebase patterns, AGENTS.md, Context7, official docs, online search |
| planner | PRD.yaml, codebase patterns, AGENTS.md, Context7, official docs |
| implementer | codebase patterns, AGENTS.md, Context7 (API verification), DESIGN.md (UI tasks) |
| debugger | codebase patterns, AGENTS.md, error logs (untrusted), git history, DESIGN.md (UI bugs) |
| reviewer | PRD.yaml, codebase patterns, AGENTS.md, OWASP reference, DESIGN.md (UI review) |
| browser-tester | PRD.yaml (flow coverage), AGENTS.md, test fixtures, baseline screenshots, DESIGN.md (visual validation) |
| designer | PRD.yaml (UX goals), codebase patterns, AGENTS.md, existing design system |
| code-simplifier | codebase patterns, AGENTS.md, test suites (behavior verification) |
| documentation-writer | AGENTS.md, existing docs, source code |
