Novera-AI-pipeline

four-agent-pipeline — an agent skill that turns one vague requirement into merged, gate-verified code through four specialized agents that keep each other honest: Specifier → Coder → Refactorer → Architect.

Core philosophy: don't review the process — gate the outcome. The human reviews exactly one artifact (the acceptance spec) and trusts a welded-shut set of automated quality gates for everything else.

The Pipeline

Failures never stall on a human: every FAIL carries the measured value vs. threshold and routes back to the responsible agent automatically (references/failure-routing.md).

The Steel Cage (quality gates)

Every gate is binary. "Close enough" is a FAIL. Full tool matrix per ecosystem: references/steel-cage.md.

Install

The repository is the skill — clone it into your agent's skills directory:

# Claude Code
git clone https://github.com/whaojie797-design/Novera-AI-pipeline.git ~/.claude/skills/four-agent-pipeline

Then invoke it with phrases like "run the four-agent pipeline on this requirement" or "compile this feature request into acceptance criteria".

Usage

# 1. Scaffold a workspace (optional but handy)
python scripts/init_pipeline.py my-feature --feature user-login

# 2. Feed the requirement to the Specifier (references/specifier.md)
# 3. Human signs off the spec  -> spec is frozen
# 4. Coder (references/coder.md)            -> tests 100% green
# 5. Refactorer (references/refactorer.md)  -> steel-cage metrics met
# 6. Architect (references/architect.md)    -> PASS merges, FAIL routes back

Works with Claude Code subagents, CrewAI, MetaGPT-style orchestrators, or four separate chat sessions with the same model.
