/ss:analyze-qualityComprehensive codebase quality analysis with prioritized recommendations
/ss:bakeoffCalibration loop for taste-heavy choices (v7.16.0). Generates N candidate implementations/outputs, renders a side-by-side contact sheet, captures your verdict, pins the winner with a regression test, and distills the ruling into the taste model. Converts fuzzy judgment into deterministic constants.
/ss:bugfixRegression-test-first bug fixing workflow with smart SpecSwarm/SpecTest integration
/ss:build[migrating to /ss:build] Build complete feature from spec to implementation
/ss:clarifyAssume-first gap resolution for the current feature spec (v7.13.0). Auto-fills gaps resolvable from the taste model, spec corpus, or codebase precedent — recorded as provenance-cited entries in the spec's ASSUMPTIONS section — and asks only genuine forks, batched. Reviewing assumptions is ~5× faster
/ss:completeComplete feature or bugfix workflow and merge to parent branch
/ss:conductMentor→builder headless dispatch loop (v7.18.0). Author a slice prompt in the proven grammar, dispatch it to a headless builder in the target repo (opus-pinned, per-tree locked, group-killed on timeout, fully audited), then run the INDEPENDENT verification protocol — commit-hash check, real-diff rea
/ss:constitutionCreate or update the project constitution from interactive or provided principle inputs, ensuring all dependent templates stay in sync.
/ss:decisionsPre-batch all strategic decisions for a feature into one AskUserQuestion-driven sheet, BEFORE /ss:tasks runs. Collapses the mid-chunk "wait, decide this" interrupts into a single front-loaded touchpoint. Hybrid deterministic-scan + decision-miner subagent; writes decision-sheet.md and appends a lock
/ss:dry-runPredict what a SpecSwarm chunk's execution would look like WITHOUT running it. Phase-aware — detects which artifacts exist, simulates everything still ahead. Produces a structured `dry-run.md` with anticipated decisions, risk register, out-of-scope guards, memory gaps, touchpoint estimate, predicted
/ss:fix[migrating to /ss:fix] Fix bugs with test-driven approach and automatic retry
/ss:goThe single default entry point (v7.17.0). Walks the full AUTO-MAGIC ladder — specify → assume-first clarify → plan → decisions → tasks → preflight → implement (slice gates + verify) → retrospective — pausing ONLY for the batched decision sheet, the assumptions review, sighted gates, and the ship ble
/ss:hotfixExpedited emergency response workflow for critical production issues
/ss:implementExecute the implementation plan by processing and executing all tasks defined in tasks.md
/ss:initInitialize or refresh SpecSwarm guides for a project / sprint
/ss:interventionCapture a "wait, something feels off" moment as a durable memory file. Each intervention becomes training data for future SpecSwarm automation (preflight, spec-mentor, hooks). Today's manual catch → tomorrow's automatic catch.
/ss:mentor-initScaffold a mentor directory for the mentor→builder operating pattern (v7.18.0). Stamps out MENTOR-KICKOFF.md (the standing role), process/escalation-boundary.md (three-lane human-escalation model), process/PARKING-LOT.md (verbatim idea capture), the conduct dispatch config, and a SessionStart hook t
/ss:metrics[migrating to /ss:metrics] Feature-level metrics and analytics dashboard
/ss:modify[migrating to /ss:modify] Feature modification with impact analysis
/ss:notifyFire a SpecSwarm notification (sound + desktop banner + optional phone vibrate via Termux) with cascading fallbacks. Useful inside long workflows to ping yourself when a chunk completes or a decision is needed.
/ss:overnightRun a SpecSwarm chunk autonomously while you sleep. Combines pre-batched decisions (v7.6.0) + verification queue (v7.4.0) + headless `claude --print` to execute /ss:preflight → /ss:implement → /ss:verify → /ss:retrospective without user input. Default mode is --check (validate readiness). --exec opt
/ss:planExecute the implementation planning workflow using the plan template to generate design artifacts.
/ss:preflightRun deterministic preflight checks against a feature's plan.md before /ss:implement. Catches hallucinated versions, missing memory files, spec drift, ambiguous grep patterns, heading typos, and uncited spec assumptions in <5 seconds.
/ss:release[migrating to /ss:release] Comprehensive release preparation workflow
/ss:retrospectiveAuto-retrospective for a completed SpecSwarm feature/chunk. Gathers feature-scope signals (git log, tasks.md, verify-queue outcomes, captured interventions, MEMORY.md), dispatches the chunk-retrospective subagent, which writes 1-3 durable memory files capturing the chunk's lessons. Solves the "sessi
/ss:rollback[migrating to /ss:rollback] Safely rollback a failed or unwanted feature
/ss:ship[migrating to /ss:ship] Quality-gated merge to parent branch
/ss:specifyCreate or update the feature specification from a natural language feature description.
/ss:status[migrating to /ss:status] Check status of background sessions and workflows
/ss:tasksGenerate an actionable, dependency-ordered tasks.md for the feature based on available design artifacts.
/ss:upgrade[migrating to /ss:upgrade] Upgrade dependencies with breaking change analysis
/ss:validateRun AI-powered interaction flow validation for any software type (webapp, Android app, REST API, desktop GUI)
/ss:verifyAdversarial spec-vs-implementation verification for a completed task. Dispatches the spec-mentor subagent with fresh context (no anchoring bias), parses its verdict (PASS / DRIFT / NEEDS-MARTY), and updates the verification queue. The v7.4.0 architectural replacement for a dedicated "mentor session.
/ss:watchdogBackground watchdog daemon that monitors a SpecSwarm project for new commits, newly-checked tasks, flagged verifications, and (v7.18.0) mentor→builder conduct runs — pings Marty via ss_notify when something needs attention. Completes the autonomous-execution loop by surviving session restarts and de
