refactor: PEP8 compliance - directory rename and code formatting (#425)
* fix(orchestration): add WebFetch auto-trigger for infrastructure configuration

Problem: Infrastructure configuration changes (e.g., Traefik port settings)
were being made based on assumptions without consulting official documentation,
violating the 'Evidence > assumptions' principle in PRINCIPLES.md.

Solution:
- Added Infrastructure Configuration Validation section to MODE_Orchestration.md
- Auto-triggers WebFetch for infrastructure tools (Traefik, nginx, Docker, etc.)
- Enforces MODE_DeepResearch activation for investigation
- BLOCKS assumption-based configuration changes

Testing: Verified WebFetch successfully retrieves Traefik official docs (port 80 default)

This prevents production outages from infrastructure misconfiguration by ensuring
all technical recommendations are backed by official documentation.

* feat: Add PM Agent (Project Manager Agent) for seamless orchestration

Introduces PM Agent as the default orchestration layer that coordinates
all sub-agents and manages workflows automatically.

Key Features:
- Default orchestration: All user interactions handled by PM Agent
- Auto-delegation: Intelligent sub-agent selection based on task analysis
- Docker Gateway integration: Zero-token baseline with dynamic MCP loading
- Self-improvement loop: Automatic documentation of patterns and mistakes
- Optional override: Users can specify sub-agents explicitly if desired

Architecture:
- Agent spec: SuperClaude/Agents/pm-agent.md
- Command: SuperClaude/Commands/pm.md
- Updated docs: README.md (15→16 agents), agents.md (new Orchestration category)

User Experience:
- Default: PM Agent handles everything (seamless, no manual routing)
- Optional: Explicit --agent flag for direct sub-agent access
- Both modes available simultaneously (no user downside)

Implementation Status:
-  Specification complete
-  Documentation complete
-  Prototype implementation needed
-  Docker Gateway integration needed
-  Testing and validation needed

Refs: kazukinakai/docker-mcp-gateway (IRIS MCP Gateway integration)

* feat: Add Agent Orchestration rules for PM Agent default activation

Implements PM Agent as the default orchestration layer in RULES.md.

Key Changes:
- New 'Agent Orchestration' section (CRITICAL priority)
- PM Agent receives ALL user requests by default
- Manual override with @agent-[name] bypasses PM Agent
- Agent Selection Priority clearly defined:
  1. Manual override → Direct routing
  2. Default → PM Agent → Auto-delegation
  3. Delegation based on keywords, file types, complexity, context

User Experience:
- Default: PM Agent handles everything (seamless)
- Override: @agent-[name] for direct specialist access
- Transparent: PM Agent reports delegation decisions

This establishes PM Agent as the orchestration layer while
respecting existing auto-activation patterns and manual overrides.

Next Steps:
- Local testing in agiletec project
- Iteration based on actual behavior
- Documentation updates as needed

* refactor(pm-agent): redesign as self-improvement meta-layer

Problem Resolution:
PM Agent's initial design competed with existing auto-activation for task routing,
creating confusion about orchestration responsibilities and adding unnecessary complexity.

Design Change:
Redefined PM Agent as a meta-layer agent that operates AFTER specialist agents
complete tasks, focusing on:
- Post-implementation documentation and pattern recording
- Immediate mistake analysis with prevention checklists
- Monthly documentation maintenance and noise reduction
- Pattern extraction and knowledge synthesis

Two-Layer Orchestration System:
1. Task Execution Layer: Existing auto-activation handles task routing (unchanged)
2. Self-Improvement Layer: PM Agent meta-layer handles documentation (new)

Files Modified:
- SuperClaude/Agents/pm-agent.md: Complete rewrite with meta-layer design
  - Category: orchestration → meta
  - Triggers: All user interactions → Post-implementation, mistakes, monthly
  - Behavioral Mindset: Continuous learning system
  - Self-Improvement Workflow: BEFORE/DURING/AFTER/MISTAKE RECOVERY/MAINTENANCE

- SuperClaude/Core/RULES.md: Agent Orchestration section updated
  - Split into Task Execution Layer + Self-Improvement Layer
  - Added orchestration flow diagram
  - Clarified PM Agent activates AFTER task completion

- README.md: Updated PM Agent description
  - "orchestrates all interactions" → "ensures continuous learning"

- Docs/User-Guide/agents.md: PM Agent section rewritten
  - Section: Orchestration Agent → Meta-Layer Agent
  - Expertise: Project orchestration → Self-improvement workflow executor
  - Examples: Task coordination → Post-implementation documentation

- PR_DOCUMENTATION.md: Comprehensive PR documentation added
  - Summary, motivation, changes, testing, breaking changes
  - Two-layer orchestration system diagram
  - Verification checklist

Integration Validated:
Tested with agiletec project's self-improvement-workflow.md:
 PM Agent aligns with existing BEFORE/DURING/AFTER/MISTAKE RECOVERY phases
 Complements (not competes with) existing workflow
 agiletec workflow defines WHAT, PM Agent defines WHO executes it

Breaking Changes: None
- Existing auto-activation continues unchanged
- Specialist agents unaffected
- User workflows remain the same
- New capability: Automatic documentation and knowledge maintenance

Value Proposition:
Transforms SuperClaude into a continuously learning system that accumulates
knowledge, prevents recurring mistakes, and maintains fresh documentation
without manual intervention.

* feat(pm-agent): add self-correcting execution and warning investigation culture

## Changes

### superclaude/commands/pm.md
- Add "Self-Correcting Execution" section with root cause analysis protocol
- Add "Warning/Error Investigation Culture" section enforcing zero-tolerance for dismissal
- Define error detection protocol: STOP → Investigate → Hypothesis → Different Solution → Execute
- Document anti-patterns (retry without understanding) and correct patterns (research-first)

### docs/Development/hypothesis-pm-autonomous-enhancement-2025-10-14.md
- Add PDCA workflow hypothesis document for PM Agent autonomous enhancement

## Rationale

PM Agent must never retry failed operations without understanding root causes.
All warnings and errors require investigation via context7/WebFetch/documentation
to ensure production-quality code and prevent technical debt accumulation.

Key Framework Concepts

Context-Oriented Configuration

SuperClaude is a collection of .md instruction files that Claude Code reads to modify its behavior. It is NOT executing software.

IMPORTANT: SuperClaude is NOT a CLI tool or executable software. When you see /sc: commands in documentation, these are context trigger patterns you type in Claude Code conversations, not terminal commands.

Agent Context Files

Specialized instruction sets that provide domain expertise when activated by @agent-[name] or automatically by keywords.

Command Context Files

Workflow patterns triggered by /sc:[command] context patterns (not CLI commands) that guide Claude Code through structured development tasks when you type them in Claude Code conversations.

MCP Integration

External tools (actual software) that can be configured to provide additional capabilities like documentation lookup or code analysis.

What SuperClaude Is NOT

  • Not Software: No code executes, no processes run
  • Not Testable: Context files are instructions, not functions
  • Not Optimizable: No performance to measure or improve
  • Not Persistent: Each Claude conversation is independent

Understanding the Framework

# Check installation
ls ~/.claude/
# You'll see context files, not executable code

# View a command context
cat ~/.claude/commands/implement.md
# You'll see instructions for Claude, not code

# View an agent context  
cat ~/.claude/agents/python-expert.md
# You'll see expertise definitions, not programs

Extending SuperClaude

  1. Add Commands: Create new .md files in ~/.claude/commands/
  2. Add Agents: Create new .md files in ~/.claude/agents/
  3. Add Modes: Create new .md files in ~/.claude/modes/

No compilation, no testing, no deployment - just add context files and Claude Code will read them automatically.
