name: ruflo-sparc description: SPARC methodology commands — initialize, track, advance, and report on Specification-Pseudocode-Architecture-Refinement-Completion workflows

$ARGUMENTS

Handle SPARC methodology commands based on the subcommand:

Subcommands

sparc init <feature>

Initialize a new SPARC workflow for the given feature:

1. Create a feature slug from the feature name (lowercase, hyphenated)
2. Call mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__memory_store with namespace sparc-state, key current-phase-{slug}, value { "phase": 1, "phaseName": "Specification", "feature": "<feature>", "startedAt": "<ISO timestamp>", "gateAttempts": 0, "artifacts": [] }
3. Call mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__memory_store with namespace sparc-phases, key spec-{slug}, value { "status": "pending", "requirements": [], "acceptanceCriteria": [], "constraints": [], "edgeCases": [] }
4. Display: "SPARC workflow initialized for . Current phase: 1 - Specification. Run /sparc status to view progress or begin the specification phase with /sparc-spec <feature-description>."

sparc status

Show current SPARC phase and gate check results:

1. Call mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__memory_search with namespace sparc-state and query current-phase to list all active SPARC workflows
2. For each workflow, display:
   • Feature name and slug
   • Current phase number and name (1-Specification, 2-Pseudocode, 3-Architecture, 4-Refinement, 5-Completion)
   • Phase start time and duration
   • Gate attempt count
3. Call mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__memory_search with namespace sparc-gates and query matching the feature slug to list gate check history
4. For each gate result, show: phase, passed/failed, criteria details, blockers if any
5. Display a progress bar: [=====> ] Phase 3/5 — Architecture

sparc advance

Attempt to pass the current gate and advance to the next phase:

1. Retrieve current state from sparc-state namespace
2. Retrieve phase artifacts from sparc-phases namespace
3. Run the gate check for the current phase:
   • Phase 1 gate: Verify spec has >= 3 acceptance criteria, explicit constraints, and edge cases identified
   • Phase 2 gate: Verify pseudocode covers all acceptance criteria, error paths are explicit, complexity annotated
   • Phase 3 gate: Verify architecture addresses all constraints, API contracts are typed, no circular dependencies
   • Phase 4 gate: Verify all acceptance criteria have passing tests, code review approved, coverage >= 80%
   • Phase 5 gate: Verify all tests green, docs complete, deployment checklist verified, traceability matrix complete
4. Store gate result in sparc-gates namespace with key gate-{phase}-{slug}-{timestamp}
5. If gate passes:
   • Increment phase in sparc-state
   • Display: "Gate passed. Advancing to Phase {N} — {PhaseName}."
   • If advancing past Phase 5: "SPARC workflow complete for {feature}. All gates passed."
6. If gate fails:
   • Increment gateAttempts in state
   • Display: "Gate failed. Blockers:" followed by the list of failing criteria
   • Suggest specific actions to address each blocker

sparc phase <phase-name>

Jump to a specific phase (for re-entry or iteration):

1. Validate phase-name is one of: specification, pseudocode, architecture, refinement, completion (or spec, pseudo, arch, refine, complete as aliases, or a number 1-5)
2. Retrieve current state from sparc-state namespace
3. Update phase number and name in state
4. Store warning if jumping forward (skipping gates): "Jumping forward skips gate checks. Run /sparc advance from previous phases to ensure quality."
5. Display: "Phase set to {N} — {PhaseName} for {feature}."

sparc report

Generate a full SPARC methodology report:

1. Retrieve all data from sparc-state, sparc-phases, and sparc-gates namespaces for the active feature
2. Generate a structured report:

   # SPARC Report: {Feature}
