SDLC: Intake → Triage → Explore → Plan → Code → Test → Review → Commit → Deploy → Improve
MCP Tools by Phase
| Phase | Tools |
|---|
| Intake | mcp__linear__get_issue, mcp__notion__notion-search |
| Explore | mcp__memory__search_nodes, mcp__github__search_code, mcp__context7__query-docs |
| Plan | mcp__linear__create_issue (subtasks), mcp__notion__notion-create-pages, mcp__github__create_branch |
| Code | mcp__context7__query-docs, Read, Write, Edit |
| Test | Bash (make test, npm test), /quick-test |
| Deploy | mcp__github__create_pull_request, /smoke-test |
| Improve | mcp__memory__create_entities, mcp__linear__create_issue |
Triage Decision
| Change Type | Path |
|---|
| New feature, breaking change, architecture | OpenSpec → /openspec:proposal |
| Bug fix, config, tests, typo | Quick → TodoWrite |
Phase Actions
Intake: Fetch Linear issue, search Notion for context
Explore: Search Memory for learnings, explore codebase, check related PRs
Plan: OpenSpec proposal OR TodoWrite, create branch
Code: Follow tasks, use platform rules, mark todos complete
Test: /quick-test, add tests for new logic
Review: /code-review, /security-scan if auth/data
Commit: /commit with type: description
Deploy: Create PR, run smoke tests after merge
Improve: Store learnings in Memory, create improvement tasks if needed

Anti-Patterns
- Coding without exploring → miss patterns
- Skipping Linear context → untracked work
- No Memory capture → repeat learnings
- Big commits → hard to review
