# Dev-Auto Command

## Command: `/dev:auto`

Fully autonomous development from requirements to release-ready implementation. This command handles the entire development lifecycle including planning, implementation, testing, debugging, validation, and optional release - all automatically with minimal human intervention.

**🤖 Full Autonomous Development:**
- **Zero to Release**: From user requirement to production-ready code
- **Incremental Development**: Commits each working milestone
- **Continuous Validation**: Tests and validates at every step
- **Auto-Debugging**: Automatically fixes failures and bugs
- **Quality Assurance**: Ensures ≥ 85/100 quality score
- **Learning Integration**: Improves from every development cycle

## How It Works

1. **Requirements Analysis**: Breaks down user requirements into implementable tasks
2. **Development Planning**: Creates phased development plan with milestones
3. **Incremental Implementation**: Implements each milestone with automatic commits
4. **Continuous Testing**: Tests after each change, debugs automatically if failed
5. **Parameter Validation**: Validates consistency (common failure point)
6. **Quality Control**: Runs quality checks, auto-fixes issues
7. **Requirements Verification**: Ensures implementation matches requirements
8. **Optional Release**: Can trigger `/release-dev` when complete

## Usage

### Basic Usage
```bash
# Simple feature request
/dev:auto "add MQTT broker with certificate support"

# Complex feature with multiple parts
/dev:auto "implement user authentication with JWT, including login, logout, and token refresh"

# Bug fix with testing
/dev:auto "fix memory leak in data processing module and add comprehensive tests"

# Refactoring task
/dev:auto "refactor authentication module to use dependency injection pattern"
```

### Advanced Options
```bash
# Development with automatic release
/dev:auto "add email notification system" --auto-release

# Specify quality threshold (default: 85)
/dev:auto "add caching layer" --quality-threshold 90

# Maximum debug iterations per milestone (default: 5)
/dev:auto "fix login bug" --max-debug-iterations 3

# Skip tests (not recommended)
/dev:auto "update documentation" --skip-tests

# Verbose logging for debugging
/dev:auto "implement API endpoint" --verbose

# Dry run (planning only, no implementation)
/dev:auto "add OAuth support" --dry-run
```

### Incremental Commit Options
```bash
# Commit frequency
/dev:auto "large feature" --commit-per-milestone  # Default
/dev:auto "large feature" --commit-per-file       # More frequent
/dev:auto "large feature" --commit-per-step       # Very frequent

# Skip commits (single commit at end)
/dev:auto "small feature" --no-incremental-commits
```

### Testing Options
```bash
# Test types to run
/dev:auto "add API" --run-unit-tests --run-integration-tests
/dev:auto "add UI" --run-e2e-tests

# Test coverage requirement (default: 80%)
/dev:auto "add feature" --test-coverage 90

+- Attempts: 5 different fixes tried
+- Success Rate: 0/5

Attempted Fixes:
1. Increased timeout values - Failed
2. Added connection pooling - Failed
3. Implemented circuit breaker - Failed
4. Adjusted retry backoff - Failed
5. Modified SSL handshake - Failed

Manual Intervention Required:
This appears to be a complex integration issue that requires
human analysis. The following information has been collected:

Detailed Error Report: .claude/data/reports/debug-failure-2025-01-24.md
Code Changes Applied: 5 incremental commits
Test Logs: .claude/logs/test-failures.log

Recommendations for Manual Fix:
1. Review MQTT broker configuration
2. Check network connectivity and firewall rules
3. Verify SSL certificate chain is complete
4. Test with different MQTT broker versions

Would you like to:
1. Continue with partial implementation (current milestone only)
2. Rollback all changes and report issue
3. Commit current state for manual fix later

## Integration with Learning System

The `/dev-auto` command deeply integrates with pattern learning:

**Learning from Success**:
- Successful implementation approaches
- Effective milestone breakdown strategies
- Optimal test coverage strategies
- Best debugging techniques
- Common parameter patterns

**Learning from Failure**:
- Failed debug attempts
- Ineffective implementation patterns
- Common error causes
- Integration pitfalls
- Time-consuming approaches to avoid

## Integration with Other Commands

### Complete Development Workflow
```bash
# Plan feature
/dev:auto "add feature" --dry-run

# Implement feature
/dev:auto "add feature"

# Validate quality
/analyze:quality

# Release
/dev:release
```

### With Validation Commands
```bash
# Development with validation
/dev:auto "implement API"
/validate:fullstack
/analyze:static
```

### With Learning Commands
```bash
# Check development patterns
/learn:analytics

# Development with pattern awareness
/dev:auto "similar feature to previous"

# Review performance
/learn:performance
```

## Agent Delegation

`/dev-auto` delegates to specialized agents:

- **code-analyzer**: For code structure analysis
- **test-engineer**: For test generation and debugging
- **quality-controller**: For quality validation and auto-fix
- **documentation-generator**: For documentation updates
- **security-auditor**: For security validation
- **frontend-analyzer**: For frontend-specific tasks
- **api-contract-validator**: For API contract validation
- **build-validator**: For build configuration

## Skills Integration

Auto-loads relevant skills based on task:

- **code-analysis**: For implementation guidance
- **testing-strategies**: For comprehensive testing
- **quality-standards**: For quality compliance
- **security-patterns**: For security best practices
- **documentation-best-practices**: For documentation
- **pattern-learning**: For continuous improvement
- **autonomous-development**: For development strategies

## Best Practices

### Writing Good Requirements
```bash
# Good: Specific and actionable
/dev:auto "add REST API endpoint for user registration with email validation"

# Bad: Too vague
/dev:auto "make the app better"

# Good: Clear scope
/dev:auto "refactor database layer to use repository pattern"

# Bad: Too broad
/dev:auto "fix everything"

# Good: Includes acceptance criteria
/dev:auto "add caching with Redis, must support TTL and invalidation"
```

### When to Use --auto-release
- Small, isolated features
- Bug fixes
- Documentation updates
- Non-breaking changes

### When NOT to Use --auto-release
- Major features requiring review
- Breaking changes
- Security-critical changes
- Changes requiring team discussion

### Quality Thresholds
- **85 (default)**: Production-ready standard
- **90**: High-quality applications
- **95**: Mission-critical systems
- **80**: Development/testing environments

## Troubleshooting

### Development Stuck in Loop
```bash
# Check current status
/dev:auto status

# Force exit debug loop
/dev:auto abort

# View detailed logs
cat .claude/logs/dev-auto-current.log
```

### Tests Keep Failing
```bash
# Increase max debug iterations
/dev:auto "feature" --max-debug-iterations 10

# Skip specific test types
/dev:auto "feature" --skip-integration-tests

# Manual fix mode
/dev:auto "feature" --manual-fix-on-failure
```

### Quality Check Fails
```bash
# Lower threshold temporarily
/dev:auto "feature" --quality-threshold 75

# Skip quality check (not recommended)
/dev:auto "feature" --skip-quality-check

# Run quality check separately
/analyze:quality
```

## Performance Metrics

Expected performance:

| Task Type | Avg Time | Success Rate | Iterations |
|-----------|----------|--------------|------------|
| Small Feature | 15-30 min | 95% | 0-1 |
| Medium Feature | 30-60 min | 88% | 1-2 |
| Large Feature | 1-3 hours | 78% | 2-4 |
| Bug Fix | 10-20 min | 92% | 0-1 |
| Refactoring | 20-45 min | 85% | 1-2 |

Success rate improves with learning:
- First 5 similar tasks: 75-80%
- After 10 similar tasks: 85-90%
- After 25 similar tasks: 90-95%
