navigator

Create REST/GraphQL API endpoint with validation, error handling, and tests. Auto-invoke when user says "add endpoint", "create API", "new route", or "add route".

Generate backend tests (unit, integration, mocks) for existing code. Auto-invoke when user says "write test for", "add test", "test this", or "create test".

Create database migration with schema changes and rollback. Auto-invoke when user says "create migration", "add table", "modify schema", or "change database".

Create React/Vue component with TypeScript, tests, and styles. Auto-invoke when user says "create component", "add component", "new component", or "build component".

Generate frontend component tests (React Testing Library, Vue Test Utils, snapshot) for existing components. Auto-invoke when user says "test this component", "write component test", or "add component test".

Render a one-screen intent brief (Goal/Scope/Approach/Limits/Verify/Won't-do/Contradiction) before implementing ambiguous task-shaped prompts, triggered by the prompt_brief op (UserPromptSubmit via hooks/nav_dispatch.py). Confirms scope with max 2 open questions before touching files; detects brief drift mid-task.

Clear conversation context while preserving knowledge via context marker. Use when user says "clear context", "start fresh", "done with this task", or when approaching token limits.

Web deep research producing a cited report from fetched sources, adversarially reviewed and gate-checked, with conclusions ingested into the knowledge graph. Auto-invoke when user says "deep research on", "research the web for", "write a research report on", "what does the literature say about", or "deep dive into" a topic outside the codebase. For codebase questions use the navigator-research agent instead.

Detect quality drops in AI output and prompt re-anchoring. Auto-triggers after repeated corrections, context confusion, or when user says "something seems off", "you're not getting this".

Show and toggle Navigator features. Auto-invoke when user says "show features", "enable/disable feature", "my navigator settings", or "configure navigator".

Query project knowledge graph. Search across tasks, SOPs, memories, and concepts. Use when user asks "what do we know about X?", "show everything related to X", or "remember this pattern/pitfall/decision".

Initialize Navigator documentation structure in a project. Auto-invokes when user says "Initialize Navigator", "Set up Navigator", "Create Navigator structure", or "Bootstrap Navigator".

DEPRECATED. The multi-Claude orchestration scripts are deprecated in favor of native Claude Code Workflows; no installation is needed. Auto-invokes on "install multi-Claude workflows", "set up multi-Claude", "enable parallel execution" to explain the deprecation.

Run tasks until complete with structured completion signals. Auto-invoke when user says "run until done", "keep going until complete", "iterate until finished", "loop mode", "autonomous mode".

Create context save points to preserve conversation state before breaks, risky changes, or compaction. Use when user says "save my progress", "create checkpoint", "mark this point", or before clearing context.

DEPRECATED. Multi-Claude shell orchestration is superseded by native Claude Code Workflows. Auto-invokes on "run multi-agent workflow", "parallel agents for", "multi-claude for", "spawn agents for" to redirect the user to the native Workflow and Agent tools.

Interactive onboarding for Navigator - learn by doing. Auto-invoke when user says "onboard me", "teach me Navigator", "how do I use Navigator", "Navigator tutorial", "learn Navigator", "new to Navigator", or "what skills should I use".

Dispatch a Navigator task doc to Pilot as a labeled GitHub issue. Use when user says "dispatch TASK-XX to Pilot", "hand off to Pilot", "send to Pilot", or "queue for Pilot". One-way handoff (Navigator authors the spec, Pilot executes autonomously).

Manage user preferences and corrections for bilateral modeling. Auto-learns from session corrections. Use when user says "save my preferences", "remember I like...", or auto-triggers after corrections.

Validate and release Navigator plugin to marketplace. Auto-invoke when user says "release plugin", "publish navigator", "create release", or "deploy new version".

Simplify and refine code for clarity, consistency, and maintainability while preserving all functionality. Focuses on recently modified code. Auto-invoke after implementation skills or on-demand.

Analyze codebase patterns and create custom skills for repetitive workflows. Use when project needs automation or pattern enforcement. Auto-invoke when user says "create a skill for...", "automate this workflow", or "we keep doing X manually".

Create Standard Operating Procedures after solving novel issues, establishing patterns, or documenting workflows. Use when user says "document this solution", "save this for next time", "create SOP".

Load Navigator documentation navigator when starting development session, resuming work, or beginning new feature. Use when user mentions starting work, beginning session, resuming after break, or checking project status.

Display session efficiency report showing token savings, cache performance, and optimization recommendations. Use when user asks "show my stats", "how efficient am I?", "show session metrics", or wants to see Navigator's impact.

Sync project CLAUDE.md to the installed Navigator version, preserving customizations. Use when user says "sync CLAUDE.md", "update CLAUDE.md", or when detecting outdated Navigator configuration.

Manage Navigator task documentation - create implementation plans, archive completed tasks, update task index. Use when user starts new feature, completes work, or says "document this feature".

Divergent solving for a declared contradiction ("improving X worsens Y"). Produces three competing candidates from different TRIZ separation modes, each with cost and downside, then recommends one. Auto-invoke when user says "find a better solution", "alternatives for", "resolve the contradiction", "triz this", or when a nav-brief declares a Contradiction on a substantial task.

Automates Navigator plugin updates. Detects current version, updates plugin, verifies installation, updates project CLAUDE.md, and validates new features. Auto-invoke when user mentions upgrading Navigator or getting new features.

Unified workflow orchestration for substantial tasks. Auto-detects complexity, defers to matching skills, or provides phase-based execution. Solves workflow conflicts between skills, loop mode, and CLAUDE.md.

Generate new Navigator slash commands following project conventions. Use when user says "add slash command", "create command", "new /nav command", or "add /nav:[name] command".

Automates design review, token extraction, component mapping, and implementation planning. Reduces design handoff from 6-10 hours to 5 minutes via direct Figma MCP integration. Auto-invoke when user mentions design review, Figma mockup, or design handoff.

Setup visual regression testing with Storybook stories, configuration, and CI/CD workflows. Supports Chromatic, Percy, BackstopJS. Auto-invoke when user says "set up visual regression", "add Chromatic tests", "add screenshot testing", or "set up Percy".
