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

* 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.

* refactor: rename directories to lowercase for PEP8 compliance

- Rename superclaude/Agents -> superclaude/agents
- Rename superclaude/Commands -> superclaude/commands
- Rename superclaude/Core -> superclaude/core
- Rename superclaude/Examples -> superclaude/examples
- Rename superclaude/MCP -> superclaude/mcp
- Rename superclaude/Modes -> superclaude/modes

This change follows Python PEP8 naming conventions for package directories.

* style: fix PEP8 violations and update package name to lowercase

Changes:
- Format all Python files with black (43 files reformatted)
- Update package name from 'SuperClaude' to 'superclaude' in pyproject.toml
- Fix import statements to use lowercase package name
- Add missing imports (timedelta, __version__)
- Remove old SuperClaude.egg-info directory

PEP8 violations reduced from 2672 to 701 (mostly E501 line length due to black's 88 char vs flake8's 79 char limit).

* docs: add PM Agent development documentation

Add comprehensive PM Agent development documentation:
- PM Agent ideal workflow (7-phase autonomous cycle)
- Project structure understanding (Git vs installed environment)
- Installation flow understanding (CommandsComponent behavior)
- Task management system (current-tasks.md)

Purpose: Eliminate repeated explanations and enable autonomous PDCA cycles

* 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.

SuperClaude Advanced Patterns

Advanced Context Usage Patterns: Sophisticated combinations of commands, agents, and flags for experienced SuperClaude users working on complex projects.

Remember: SuperClaude provides context to Claude Code. All patterns here are about guiding Claude's behavior through context, not executing code or coordinating processes.

Table of Contents

Context Combination Patterns

Workflow Patterns

Multi-Agent Context Patterns

Combining Specialist Contexts

Security + Backend Pattern:

# Security-focused backend development
@agent-security "define authentication requirements"
@agent-backend-architect "design API with security requirements"
/sc:implement "secure API endpoints"

# What happens:
# 1. Security context loaded first
# 2. Backend context added
# 3. Implementation guided by both contexts
# Note: Contexts combine in Claude's understanding, not in execution

Frontend + UX + Accessibility Pattern:

# Comprehensive frontend development
@agent-frontend-architect "design component architecture"
/sc:implement "accessible React components" --magic
@agent-quality-engineer "review accessibility compliance"

# Context layering:
# - Frontend patterns guide structure
# - Magic MCP may provide UI components (if configured)
# - Quality context ensures standards

Manual vs Automatic Agent Selection

Explicit Control Pattern:

# Manually control which contexts load
@agent-python-expert "implement data pipeline"
# Only Python context, no auto-activation

# vs Automatic selection
/sc:implement "Python data pipeline"
# May activate multiple agents based on keywords

Override Auto-Selection:

# Prevent unwanted agent activation
/sc:implement "simple utility" --no-mcp
@agent-backend-architect "keep it simple"
# Limits context to specified agent only

Command Sequencing Patterns

Progressive Refinement Pattern

# Start broad, then focus
/sc:analyze project/
# General analysis

/sc:analyze project/core/ --focus architecture
# Focused on structure

/sc:analyze project/core/auth/ --focus security --think-hard
# Deep security analysis

# Each command builds on previous context within the conversation

Discovery to Implementation Pattern

# Complete feature development flow
/sc:brainstorm "feature idea"
# Explores requirements

/sc:design "feature architecture"
# Creates structure

@agent-backend-architect "review design"
# Expert review

/sc:implement "feature based on design"
# Implementation follows design

/sc:test --validate
# Verification approach

Iterative Improvement Pattern

# Multiple improvement passes
/sc:analyze code/ --focus quality
# Identify issues

/sc:improve code/ --fix
# First improvement pass

@agent-refactoring-expert "suggest further improvements"
# Expert suggestions

/sc:improve code/ --fix --focus maintainability
# Refined improvements

Flag Combination Strategies

Analysis Depth Control

# Quick overview
/sc:analyze . --overview --uc
# Fast, compressed output

# Standard analysis
/sc:analyze . --think
# Structured thinking

# Deep analysis
/sc:analyze . --think-hard --verbose
# Comprehensive analysis

# Maximum depth (use sparingly)
/sc:analyze . --ultrathink
# Exhaustive analysis

MCP Server Selection

# Selective MCP usage
/sc:implement "React component" --magic --c7
# Only Magic and Context7 MCP

# Disable all MCP
/sc:implement "simple function" --no-mcp
# Pure Claude context only

# All available MCP
/sc:analyze complex-system/ --all-mcp
# Maximum tool availability (if configured)

Complex Project Patterns

Large Codebase Analysis

# Systematic exploration of large projects
# Step 1: Structure understanding

/sc:analyze . --overview --focus architecture

# Step 2: Identify problem areas
@agent-quality-engineer "identify high-risk modules"

# Step 3: Deep dive into specific areas
/sc:analyze high-risk-module/ --think-hard --focus quality

# Step 4: Implementation plan
/sc:workflow "improvement plan based on analysis"

Multi-Module Development

# Developing interconnected modules
# Frontend module
/sc:implement "user interface module"
@agent-frontend-architect "ensure consistency"

# Backend module
/sc:implement "API module"
@agent-backend-architect "ensure compatibility"

# Integration layer
/sc:implement "frontend-backend integration"
# Context from both previous implementations guides this

Cross-Technology Projects

/sc:analyze . --focus security --think-hard
@agent-security "review authentication and authorization"
@agent-security "check for OWASP vulnerabilities"
/sc:document --type security-audit

Code Quality Review

# Multi-aspect quality review
/sc:analyze src/ --focus quality
@agent-quality-engineer "review test coverage"

@agent-system-architect "review current architecture"
/sc:analyze . --focus architecture --think-hard
@agent-performance-engineer "identify bottlenecks"
/sc:design "optimization recommendations"

Important Clarifications

What These Patterns Actually Do

  • Guide Claude's Thinking: Provide structured approaches
  • Combine Contexts: Layer multiple expertise areas
  • Improve Output Quality: Better code generation through better context
  • Structure Workflows: Organize complex tasks

What These Patterns Don't Do

  • Execute in Parallel: Everything is sequential context loading
  • Coordinate Processes: No actual process coordination
  • Optimize Performance: No code runs, so no performance impact
  • Persist Between Sessions: Each conversation is independent

Best Practices for Advanced Usage

Context Management

  1. Layer Deliberately: Add contexts in logical order
  2. Avoid Overload: Too many agents can dilute focus
  3. Use Manual Control: Override auto-activation when needed
  4. Maintain Conversation Flow: Keep related work in same conversation

Command Efficiency

  1. Progress Logically: Broad → Specific → Implementation
  2. Reuse Context: Later commands benefit from earlier context
  3. Document Decisions: Use /sc:save for important summaries
  4. Scope Appropriately: Focus on manageable chunks

Flag Usage

  1. Match Task Complexity: Simple tasks don't need --ultrathink
  2. Control Output: Use --uc for concise results
  3. Manage MCP: Only activate needed servers
  4. Avoid Conflicts: Don't use contradictory flags

Summary

Advanced SuperClaude patterns are about sophisticated context management and command sequencing. They help Claude Code generate better outputs by providing richer, more structured context. Remember: all "coordination" and "optimization" happens in how Claude interprets the context, not in any actual execution or parallel processing.
