docs: add PM Agent architecture and MCP integration documentation
## PM Agent Architecture Redesign ### Auto-Activation System - **pm-agent-auto-activation.md**: Behavior-based auto-activation architecture - 5 activation layers (Session Start, Documentation Guardian, Commander, Post-Implementation, Mistake Handler) - Remove manual `/sc:pm` command requirement - Auto-trigger based on context detection ### Responsibility Cleanup - **pm-agent-responsibility-cleanup.md**: Memory management strategy and MCP role clarification - Delete `docs/memory/` directory (redundant with Mindbase) - Remove `write_memory()` / `read_memory()` usage (Serena is code-only) - Clear lifecycle rules for each memory layer ## MCP Integration Policy ### Core Definitions - **mcp-integration-policy.md**: Complete MCP server definitions and usage guidelines - Mindbase: Automatic conversation history (don't touch) - Serena: Code understanding only (not task management) - Sequential: Complex reasoning engine - Context7: Official documentation reference - Tavily: Web search and research - Clear auto-trigger conditions for each MCP - Anti-patterns and best practices ### Optional Design - **mcp-optional-design.md**: MCP-optional architecture with graceful fallbacks - SuperClaude works fully without any MCPs - MCPs are performance enhancements (2-3x faster, 30-50% fewer tokens) - Automatic fallback to native tools - User choice: Minimal → Standard → Enhanced setup ## Key Benefits **Simplicity**: - Remove `docs/memory/` complexity - Clear MCP role separation - Auto-activation (no manual commands) **Reliability**: - Works without MCPs (graceful degradation) - Clear fallback strategies - No single point of failure **Performance** (with MCPs): - 2-3x faster execution - 30-50% token reduction - Better code understanding (Serena) - Efficient reasoning (Sequential) 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

## Anti-Patterns (禁止事項)
|
||||
|
||||
### DO NOT
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
❌ Mindbaseを明示的に操作:
|
||||
Reason: 完全自動管理、PM Agentは触らない
|
||||
Instead: 何もしない（自動で動く）
|
||||
|
||||
❌ Serenaをタスク管理に使用:
|
||||
Reason: コード理解専用
|
||||
Instead: TodoWrite使用
|
||||
|
||||
❌ write_memory() / read_memory() 使用:
|
||||
Reason: Serenaはコード理解専用、タスク管理ではない
|
||||
Instead: TodoWrite + docs/
|
||||
|
||||
❌ docs/memory/ ディレクトリ作成:
|
||||
Reason: Mindbaseと重複
|
||||
Instead: docs/patterns/ と docs/mistakes/ 使用
|
||||
|
||||
❌ 全タスクでSequential使用:
|
||||
Reason: トークン浪費
|
||||
Instead: 複雑分析時のみ
|
||||
|
||||
❌ Context7をプロジェクトドキュメントに使用:
|
||||
Reason: 公式ドキュメント専用
|
||||
Instead: Read docs/ 使用
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Best Practices
|
||||
|
||||
### Efficient MCP Usage
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
✅ Right Tool for Right Job:
|
||||
Simple → Native tools (Read, Edit, Grep)
|
||||
Medium → Context7 (new library)
|
||||
Complex → Serena + Sequential
|
||||
|
||||
✅ Lazy Evaluation:
|
||||
Don't preload MCPs
|
||||
Activate only when needed
|
||||
Let PM Agent auto-trigger
|
||||
|
||||
✅ Clear Separation:
|
||||
Memory: Mindbase (automatic)
|
||||
Knowledge: docs/ (file-based)
|
||||
Progress: TodoWrite (session)
|
||||
Code: Serena (understanding)
|
||||
|
||||
✅ Documentation First:
|
||||
Pre-Implementation: Context7 + docs/patterns/
|
||||
During: TodoWrite tracking
|
||||
Post: docs/patterns/ or docs/mistakes/
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Testing & Validation
|
||||
|
||||
### MCP Integration Tests
|
||||
|
||||

||||
1. Mindbase Auto-Load:
|
||||
- Start session
|
||||
- Verify past context loaded automatically
|
||||
- No explicit mindbase calls
|
||||
|
||||
2. Serena Code Understanding:
|
||||
- Task: "Refactor auth across 15 files"
|
||||
- Verify Serena auto-triggered
|
||||
- Verify symbol tracking used
|
||||
|
||||
3. Sequential Complex Analysis:
|
||||
- Task: "Design microservices architecture"
|
||||
- Verify Sequential auto-triggered
|
||||
- Verify step-by-step reasoning
|
||||
|
||||
4. Context7 Documentation:
|
||||
- Task: "Implement with new library"
|
||||
- Verify Context7 auto-triggered
|
||||
- Verify official docs referenced
|
||||

# MCP Optional Design
|
||||
|
||||
## 基本原則: MCPはオプション
|
||||
|
||||
**重要**: SuperClaude Frameworkは **MCPなしでも完全に動作** します。
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
Core Principle:
|
||||
MCPs: Optional enhancements (性能向上のオプション)
|
||||
Native Tools: Always available (常に利用可能)
|
||||
Fallback: Automatic (自動フォールバック)
|
||||
|
||||
Design Philosophy:
|
||||
"MCPs enhance, but never required"
|
||||
"Native tools are the foundation"
|
||||
"Graceful degradation always"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Fallback Strategy
|
||||
|
||||
### MCP vs Native Tools
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
Code Understanding:
|
||||
With MCP: Serena (シンボル追跡、高速)
|
||||
Without MCP: Grep + Read (テキスト検索、確実)
|
||||
Degradation: 機能維持、速度低下のみ
|
||||
|
||||
Complex Analysis:
|
||||
With MCP: Sequential (構造化推論、トークン効率)
|
||||
Without MCP: Native reasoning (同等品質、トークン増)
|
||||
Degradation: トークン使用量増加のみ
|
||||
|
||||
Documentation:
|
||||
With MCP: Context7 (公式ドキュメント、キュレーション済み)
|
||||
Without MCP: WebFetch + WebSearch (生データ、手動フィルタ)
|
||||
Degradation: 情報の質が若干低下
|
||||
|
||||
Research:
|
||||
With MCP: Tavily (最適化検索、構造化結果)
|
||||
Without MCP: WebSearch (標準検索)
|
||||
Degradation: 検索効率が若干低下
|
||||
|
||||
Memory:
|
||||
With MCP: Mindbase (自動管理、永続化)
|
||||
Without MCP: Session context only (セッション内のみ)

## PM Agent Without MCPs
|
||||
|
||||
### Fully Functional Without Any MCP
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||

||||
|
||||
## Detection & Auto-Fallback
|
||||
|
||||
### MCP Availability Detection
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
Runtime Detection:
|
||||
Method: Try MCP, catch error, fallback
|
||||
|
||||
Example:
|
||||
try:
|
||||
serena.search_symbols("authenticate")
|
||||
except MCPNotAvailable:
|
||||
fallback_to_grep("authenticate")
|
||||
|
||||
User Impact: None (transparent)
|
||||
Performance: Slightly slower on first detection
|
||||
|
||||
Startup Check:
|
||||
Method: List available MCP servers
|
||||
|
||||
Available MCPs: [mindbase, serena, sequential]
|
||||
Missing MCPs: [context7, tavily]
|
||||
|
||||
→ Auto-configure fallbacks
|
||||
→ Log available MCPs
|
||||
→ Proceed normally
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Automatic Fallback Logic
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
Serena MCP Unavailable:
|
||||
Task: "Refactor auth across 15 files"
|
||||
|
||||
Attempt:
|
||||
1. Try Serena symbol tracking
|
||||
2. MCPNotAvailable error
|
||||
3. Fallback to Grep + Read
|
||||
|
||||
Execution:
|
||||
grep -r "authenticate\|auth\|login" .
|
||||
Read all matched files
|
||||
Manual symbol tracking (slower but works)
|
||||
|
||||
Output: Same result, slower execution
|
||||
|
||||
Sequential MCP Unavailable:
|
||||
Task: "Design microservices architecture"
|
||||
|
||||
Attempt:
|
||||
1. Try Sequential reasoning
|
||||
2. MCPNotAvailable error
|
||||
3. Fallback to native reasoning
|
||||
|
||||
Execution:
|
||||
Use native Claude reasoning
|
||||
Break down problem manually
|
||||
Step-by-step analysis (more tokens)
|
||||
|
||||
Output: Same quality, more tokens
|
||||
|
||||
Context7 MCP Unavailable:
|
||||
Task: "How to use React Server Components"
|
||||
|
||||
Attempt:
|
||||
1. Try Context7 official docs
|
||||
2. MCPNotAvailable error
|
||||
3. Fallback to WebSearch
|
||||
|
||||
Execution:
|
||||
WebSearch "React Server Components official docs"
|
||||
WebFetch relevant URLs
|
||||
Manual filtering
|
||||
|
||||
Output: Same info, less curated
|
||||
|
||||
Mindbase MCP Unavailable:
|
||||
Impact: No cross-session memory
|
||||
|
||||
Fallback:
|
||||
- Use session context only
|
||||
- docs/patterns/ for knowledge
|
||||
- docs/mistakes/ for learnings
|
||||
|
||||
Limitation:
|
||||
- Can't recall previous sessions automatically
|
||||
- User can manually reference past work
|
||||
|
||||
Workaround: "Recall our conversation about X"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
### MCP Enable/Disable
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
User Configuration:
|
||||
Location: ~/.claude/mcp-config.json (optional)
|
||||
|
||||
{
|
||||
"mcps": {
|
||||
"mindbase": "auto", // enabled if available
|
||||
"serena": "auto", // enabled if available
|
||||
"sequential": "auto", // enabled if available
|
||||
"context7": "disabled", // explicitly disabled
|
||||
"tavily": "enabled" // explicitly enabled
|
||||
},
|
||||
"fallback_mode": "graceful" // graceful | aggressive | disabled
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
Fallback Modes:
|
||||
graceful: Try MCP, fallback silently (default)
|
||||
aggressive: Prefer native tools, use MCP only when significantly better
|
||||
disabled: Never fallback, error if MCP unavailable
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

||||
### Developer Documentation
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
MCP Integration Guidelines:
|
||||
|
||||
Rule 1: Always provide fallback
|
||||
✅ try_mcp_then_fallback()
|
||||
❌ require_mcp_or_fail()
|
||||
|
||||
Rule 2: Silent degradation
|
||||
✅ Fallback transparently
|
||||
❌ Show errors to user
|
||||
|
||||
Rule 3: Test both paths
|
||||
✅ Test with and without MCPs
|
||||
❌ Only test with MCPs
|
||||
|
||||
Rule 4: Document fallback behavior
|
||||
✅ "Uses Grep if Serena unavailable"
|
||||
❌ "Requires Serena MCP"
|
||||
|
||||
Rule 5: Performance expectations
|
||||
✅ "30% slower without MCP"
|
||||
❌ "Not functional without MCP"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
