feat(commands): add incremental and parallel feature build commands#40
Conversation
Add comprehensive command for building complex features incrementally, implementing best practices for long-running agent tasks: - JSON-based feature tracking with strict modification rules - Prevents premature completion by requiring all features to pass - Incremental one-feature-at-a-time workflow - Git integration for clean commits and recovery protocols - Progress tracking via dedicated PROGRESS.md file - Feature expansion guidelines for 50-200+ granular features - Recovery mechanisms for failed implementations Based on research into Claude best practices for long-running agents.
Add agent-orchestrated parallel implementation command that extends the incremental approach with concurrent execution capabilities: - Dependency graph generation with topological sorting - Batch identification for parallel-safe feature groups - Multi-agent orchestration with isolated branches - Merge coordination with conflict resolution protocols - Synchronized progress tracking across agents - Performance reporting with speedup metrics - Recovery protocols for agent/merge failures Enables up to Nx speedup for large feature sets with independent components while maintaining the strict tracking guarantees of the sequential approach.
Improvements to incremental-feature-build.md: - Replace fragile grep with proper jq queries for JSON validation - Update feature count guidelines from 50-200 to hierarchical approach (10-30 small, 30-60 medium, 60-100 large projects) - Add epic/module grouping example for better organization - Update deprecated `git checkout --` to `git restore` - Add error handling for mkdir failures with troubleshooting guide - Document $ARGUMENTS placeholder behavior with examples - Add note explaining status model difference from parallel version Improvements to parallel-feature-build.md: - Add circular dependency detection with jq script - Add polling mechanism with sleep intervals for agent monitoring - Add explicit feature branch creation step (Phase 2.3) - Add file locking mechanism for safe concurrent updates - Fix merge workflow to reference correct feature branch - Add error handling for directory creation - Document $ARGUMENTS placeholder behavior Housekeeping: - Move development checklist files to .feature-tracking/examples/ (these are implementation artifacts, not deliverables)

Description
Add two complementary Claude Code commands for structured, long-running feature development that prevent premature completion and ensure comprehensive functionality through strict tracking:
Both commands implement best practices identified from Claude's limitations with long-running tasks, using JSON schemas, git integration, and detailed recovery protocols.

Reviewed via code review process (see commit 6624c64). All improvements from review feedback have been addressed:
Additional Notes
Both commands are designed to work together:
incremental-feature-buildfor small to medium projects (10-100 features)parallel-feature-buildfor large projects with independent featuresIncludes example checklists in
.feature-tracking/examples/for reference.
