Silver BulletALPHA

COMPOSE. ENFORCE. TRACE. SHIP.

Agentic Process Orchestrator (APO) for AI-native Software Engineering & DevOps  ·  v0.35.1
Fred Brooks
“There is no single development, in either technology or management technique, which by itself promises even one order-of-magnitude improvement in productivity, in reliability, in simplicity.”
Fred Brooks, No Silver Bullet (1986) · Turing Award Winner, 1999

Brooks was right. Silver Bullet is not one magic trick. It is the enforced system around the work.

Silver Bullet is an Agentic Process Orchestrator (APO): the orchestration and enforcement layer around GSD. /silver composes the right workflow for the task, sequences adjacent plugins, and blocks unsafe edits, PRs, deploys, and releases until the required evidence exists.

AI Agents Skip Process Unless The Process Pushes Back

A good prompt is not a delivery system. Agentic work needs routing, traceability, review, test freshness, docs governance, and mechanical gates that survive long sessions and context compaction.

Skipped Planning

Agents jump straight to coding. No spec, no accepted assumptions, no plan coverage check. The path of least resistance is always to start editing files.

No Traceability

Specs, requirements, plans, UAT, PR descriptions, and implementation records drift apart. Reviewers cannot easily tell which accepted criteria were actually delivered.

Premature Delivery

Work is declared “done” without fresh tests, code review, UAT evidence, docs updates, CI status, or release readiness checks.

Context Rot

As the context window fills, output quality silently degrades. The best workflows in the world mean nothing if the agent is operating on a rotting context.

The root cause: Great execution engines exist. Great review skills exist. Great docs and DevOps practices exist. The missing layer is enforced orchestration: choosing the right chain for the task and blocking unsafe progress until the chain has produced evidence.

GSD Executes. Silver Bullet Orchestrates The Delivery System Around It.

Plain GSD is the planning and execution engine. Silver Bullet is the APO layer that wraps it with dynamic workflow composition, cross-plugin sequencing, spec/UAT/PR traceability, review governance, documentation governance, DevOps safety, and host hooks that make skipping steps harder.

Dynamic Workflow Composition

/silver classifies the task and composes the chain it needs: feature, bugfix, UI, DevOps, release, research, spec, ingest, validate, or fast path. GSD already has freeform routing; Silver Bullet’s value is broader task-shaped orchestration across SB gates and adjacent plugins.

Per-Workflow State Tracking

Every composition is tracked under .planning/workflows/<id>.md: active flow, completed flows, deferred improvements, dynamic insertions, autonomous decisions, and the next required step. The retired single-file WORKFLOW.md model is legacy only.

Spec, UAT, Review, And Test Gates

SB blocks unsafe progress at multiple evidence boundaries: spec floor before planning, validation findings before implementation, UAT before milestone completion, fresh tests before delivery, and review loops before shipping.

Governed Fast Path

Small edits stay lightweight through silver:fast, but agents cannot arm legacy bypass markers directly. If scope expands or DevOps files are involved, the work routes back into the governed workflow.

Trace Requirements From Spec To PR

Silver Bullet adds the upstream and downstream contract around GSD execution: elicited or ingested specs, explicit assumptions, plan coverage validation, UAT freshness, and PR traceability.

Spec Creation silver:spec

Socratic spec elicitation produces canonical .planning/SPEC.md and .planning/REQUIREMENTS.md with acceptance criteria, assumptions, open questions, source artifacts, and version metadata.

External Ingestion silver:ingest

Ingest JIRA, Figma, Google Docs, Confluence, or cross-repo specs through configured connectors. Failures are explicit [ARTIFACT MISSING] blocks and every run writes an INGESTION_MANIFEST.md.

Pre-Build Validation silver:validate

Compare SPEC.md acceptance criteria against GSD phase plans, surface uncovered criteria, unresolved assumptions, orphan tasks, and open questions, then write machine-readable VALIDATION.md findings.

PR + UAT Traceability

Session-start hooks capture spec version and JIRA ID. PR creation appends a traceability block and deferred validation warnings. Milestone completion is blocked if UAT.md is missing, failing, or stale.

Planning Artifacts Deserve Real Review Too

Silver Bullet adds a general artifact-review framework across specs, requirements, design, roadmap, context, research, ingestion, UAT, and cross-artifact consistency — with audit trails and analytics.

Reviewer Mapping

artifact-reviewer auto-detects the correct reviewer for SPEC.md, DESIGN.md, REQUIREMENTS.md, ROADMAP.md, CONTEXT.md, RESEARCH.md, INGESTION_MANIFEST.md, UAT.md, and cross-artifact sets.

Clean-Pass Review Loops

High-stakes artifacts can require two consecutive clean passes. Each round updates review state and writes a REVIEW-ROUNDS.md audit trail, so review quality is visible and resumable.

Configurable Review Depth

Configure deep, standard, or quick review depth per reviewer in .planning/config.json. SPEC and REQUIREMENTS can be deep while lower-risk artifacts stay quick.

Assessor Triage

artifact-review-assessor classifies findings as MUST-FIX, NICE-TO-HAVE, or DISMISS against the artifact contract, preventing review loops from turning stylistic preferences into blockers.

Measure Your Review Health

Every review round emits structured metrics. Silver Bullet gives you data-driven visibility into artifact quality trends, round counts, and finding categories — right from the CLI.

JSON Lines Metrics

Every review round emits structured metrics to a JSON Lines file. Pass rates, rounds to clean pass, and finding categories — all captured automatically with no extra configuration.

silver-review-stats

Run silver-review-stats to generate summary reports from review metrics. Three report tables cover pass rates, rounds to clean pass, and finding categories by artifact type.

Verification-Before-Completion

The review loop enforces that verification completes before any completion claim. No artifact can be declared done without confirmed verification in the review record.

Silver Bullet Orchestrates the Best

Silver Bullet doesn’t reinvent what already exists. It treats GSD as the execution engine, then sequences review, design, docs, DevOps, and SB-owned gates around it. Required dependencies fail closed; optional DevOps enrichments are routed when available.

GSD
get-shit-done — Execution Engine
The most sophisticated agentic execution system in the community. Solves context rot at the architectural level by giving every task a fresh 200K-token context window.
  • Wave-based parallel execution with dependency graphs
  • Fresh 200K context per agent — eliminates context rot
  • Atomic git commit per task with conventional format
  • Requirements traceability with unique IDs
  • Pre-execution plan verification across 8 core dimensions plus conditional gates
  • Brownfield codebase analysis before planning
  • Workflow guard and context monitor hooks
Superpowers
obra/superpowers — Dev Skills
A widely used host-agent skill set for peer review, branch hygiene, and cross-session engineering practices that complement GSD’s execution engine.
  • Peer code review with dedicated subagent
  • Requesting and receiving external review
  • Development branch finish and merge prep
  • Episodic memory across sessions and projects
Engineering
Anthropic — Quality Assurance
Anthropic’s engineering best practices plugin. Covers the quality assurance and deployment gates that complete the post-execution workflow.
  • Testing strategy: pyramid, coverage goals, tooling
  • Technical documentation (PRD, ADR, CI/CD)
  • Pre-deployment verification checklist
  • Incident response and post-mortem workflow
Design
Anthropic — UI/UX Validation
Anthropic’s design plugin for UI phases. Invoked conditionally when a phase involves user-facing work, covering design system integrity and UX copy quality.
  • Design system audit: tokens, component reuse
  • UX copy review: microcopy, error messages, empty states
  • Accessibility review (WCAG 2.1 AA)
  • Design critique and handoff specs

Silver Bullet is the orchestration and enforcement layer. GSD owns planning and execution. SB decides which lifecycle route applies, which adjacent plugins must run, which gates are non-skippable, and whether the session is allowed to commit, create a PR, deploy, or release.

Five Leading DevOps Plugins. One Skill Router.

For the devops-cycle workflow, Silver Bullet integrates five best-in-class DevOps plugins as optional contextual enrichments. A smart skill router maps your IaC toolchain and cloud provider to the best available skill — with automatic fallback chains.

Optional
HashiCorp
hashicorp/agent-skills
Official HashiCorp skills for Terraform HCL authoring, module design, provider development, and Packer image building.
  • Terraform code generation
  • Module & provider scaffolding
  • Packer builders & HCP integration
Optional
AWS Labs
awslabs/agent-plugins
AWS architecture, serverless patterns, database selection, CDK/CloudFormation, and deployment best practices.
  • Deploy-on-AWS architecture guidance
  • Lambda / API Gateway / Step Functions
  • RDS, DynamoDB, Aurora selection
Optional
Pulumi
pulumi/agent-skills
Pulumi programs, ComponentResource patterns, Automation API, and IaC migration from Terraform, CDK, CloudFormation, and ARM.
  • Pulumi best practices & components
  • IaC migration (TF/CDK/CF/ARM → Pulumi)
  • Pulumi ESC for secrets management
Optional
DevOps Skills
ahmedasmar/devops-claude-skills
Comprehensive DevOps toolkit: Terraform/Terragrunt, k8s troubleshooting, CI/CD pipelines, GitOps, monitoring, and AWS cost optimization.
  • Kubernetes troubleshooter
  • CI/CD & GitOps workflows
  • Monitoring, observability & cost optimization
Optional
wshobson/agents
Kubernetes Operations
Kubernetes manifests, Helm chart authoring, GitOps security, and multi-agent orchestration for complex cluster operations.
  • Kubernetes manifests & Helm charts
  • GitOps security & RBAC
  • Multi-agent team orchestration

Smart skill routing, not blind fallback. Silver Bullet’s /devops-skill-router maps context such as Terraform authoring, Kubernetes troubleshooting, or AWS deployment to the best available enrichment. Optional enrichments can degrade gracefully; required dependency skills fail closed so the workflow cannot pretend a missing gate ran.

Silver Bullet vs Plain GSD

GSD is the planning and execution engine. Silver Bullet is the orchestration, enforcement, traceability, review, DevOps, documentation, and release layer around that engine.

Plain GSD helps the agent do the work well. Silver Bullet helps ensure the whole delivery process actually happens.

Silver Bullet does not replace GSD or claim GSD’s lifecycle as its own. It composes the right task-shaped workflow, sequences GSD with adjacent plugins, and blocks unsafe progress until the expected evidence exists: spec coverage, UAT, review, fresh tests, docs, CI, DevOps risk controls, and release readiness.

Plain GSD
Execution engine Plans phases, manages .planning/, executes with fresh agent context, verifies work, and ships milestones.
Silver Bullet + GSD
Enforced operating layer Routes the task, composes cross-plugin steps, preserves traceability, and gates edits, PRs, deploys, and releases.

The strongest SB-over-GSD benefits

EnforcementHost hooks block skipped planning, review, verification, docs, CI, and release steps.
Composition/silver builds the workflow chain for feature, bugfix, UI, DevOps, research, release, or fast-path work.
TraceabilitySpecs, validation findings, UAT state, PR descriptions, and implementation links stay connected.
GovernanceArtifact review, DevOps safety, docs freshness, session continuity, and non-skippable gates wrap GSD execution.

Process Becomes Enforced

GSD gives the right lifecycle. SB adds hook-level blockers so agents cannot silently edit, commit, PR, deploy, or release before required evidence exists.

Workflows Are Task-Shaped

GSD has gsd:do. SB’s extra value is broader workflow composition across SB gates, GSD, and selected helper plugins for review, design, PM, DevOps, and release work.

Cross-Plugin Orchestration

SB sequences GSD with review, TDD, docs, design, testing, product, DevOps, and release capabilities without pretending those tools are interchangeable.

Spec-To-PR Traceability

silver:spec, silver:ingest, silver:validate, UAT gates, and PR traceability connect accepted requirements to delivered implementation.

Artifact Review Governance

SB reviews specs, requirements, design, roadmap, research, ingestion manifests, UAT, and cross-artifact consistency with audit trails and review analytics.

DevOps And Release Safety

Blast-radius analysis, IaC-adapted quality gates, promotion checks, deployment checklists, CI-red blocking, and release gates surround GSD milestone work.

GSD Executes. Silver Bullet Orchestrates.

GSD remains the lifecycle and execution authority. Silver Bullet acts as the Agentic Process Orchestrator around it: composing the right task path, enforcing gates, and bringing in optional plugin helpers only when the selected workflow requires them.

Right Workflow, Right Amount Of Process

Silver Bullet reduces waste by routing work to the smallest safe workflow. Tiny changes use silver:fast. Feature work gets spec and review gates. DevOps work gets blast radius and promotion controls. Release work gets release readiness checks.

Trivial Work Stays Trivial

silver:fast handles typos, small config edits, simple renames, and low-risk changes without dragging the task through a full delivery workflow.

Complex Work Gets The Full Chain

Feature, UI, bugfix, DevOps, and release tasks get the gates they need: clarify, spec, plan, execute, review, verify, document, ship, and release.

No Silent Dependency Downgrade

If a required dependency skill is unavailable, SB fails closed and asks for install-and-retry instead of pretending a degraded substitute is equivalent.

Efficiency comes from fit, not shortcuts. Silver Bullet avoids both extremes: full ceremony for tiny edits and casual shortcuts for high-risk changes. The workflow is composed around the task.

Multi-Layer Enforcement

Silver Bullet enforces process through host hooks, state files, composed workflow admission, dependency checks, spec/UAT gates, test freshness, PR traceability, docs governance, and completion audits. The active agent can reason, but the environment decides whether unsafe actions proceed.

1

Skill Tracker

Skill invocations are recorded to a state file. Delivery gates read that state instead of trusting the agent’s memory or a verbal completion claim.

2

Workflow Admission

When a composed workflow exists under .planning/workflows/, non-trivial source edits must present the matching workflow id. Direct edits cannot bypass an active composition.

3

Dependency Gate

Required GSD skills and selected SB helper dependencies must be available. Missing mandatory dependencies fail closed with install-and-retry guidance.

4

Completion Audit

Commit, PR, deploy, merge, and release commands are intercepted. Intermediate commits require planning gates; final delivery requires the full deploy skill list and workflow completion.

5

CI + Test Freshness

CI must be green, and /verify-tests must be fresh. Source edits invalidate the test marker, so delivery cannot rely on a test run from before the latest change.

6

Spec + UAT Gates

Planning is blocked when SPEC.md lacks required sections. Milestone completion is blocked when UAT.md is missing, failing, or stale against the current spec version.

7

Stop Hook

When the agent tries to declare completion, SB checks required markers and blocks the stop if gates are missing. The next required action is surfaced immediately.

8

Prompt Reminder

Before each user prompt, SB re-injects missing steps, active workflow context, and core rules. Long sessions and compaction do not erase process obligations.

9

State + Boundary Guards

Direct edits to GSD-owned planning artifacts, SB state files, legacy trivial bypass markers, installed plugin files, and protected instruction surfaces are blocked.

10

Traceability + Archive Hooks

PR descriptions receive spec traceability, SPEC.md records implementation links, roadmap freshness is checked at commit time, and phase directories are archived before clearing.

Quality Dimensions. Enforced Checkpoints.

The full-dev-cycle applies 8 core quality dimensions plus conditional gates via /silver:quality-gates. The devops-cycle applies 7 IaC-adapted dimensions via /devops-quality-gates plus a mandatory /silver:blast-radius assessment. Usability and AI/LLM safety are excluded when they do not apply; reusability/extensibility are handled through modularity and change-safety. Every dimension is a hard stop — not a warning.

Modularity

Small, focused modules. File size limits. Change locality max 3–5 files. Single responsibility enforced.

/silver:quality-gates

Reusability

DRY, composable components. Rule of Three. No duplication across the codebase.

/silver:quality-gates

Scalability

Stateless by default. Indexed queries. Async processing. Resource limits defined upfront.

/silver:quality-gates

Security

OWASP Top 10. Input validation. Secrets management. Defense in depth. No trust boundaries crossed. SENTINEL hardening: shell injection fixes and markdown injection prevention built in.

/silver:quality-gates

Reliability

Fault tolerance. Retries with backoff. Circuit breakers. Graceful degradation under load.

/silver:quality-gates

Usability

Intuitive APIs. Actionable error messages. Accessibility. Progressive disclosure of complexity.

/silver:quality-gates

Testability

Dependency injection. Pure functions. Test seams. Deterministic behavior. No hidden state.

/silver:quality-gates

Extensibility

Open-closed principle. Plugin architecture. Versioned interfaces. Change without breakage.

/silver:quality-gates

DevOps Cycle: Blast Radius First. Before quality gates, the devops-cycle requires a /silver:blast-radius assessment — mapping change scope, downstream dependencies, failure scenarios, and rollback plans. Changes rated HIGH require explicit approval and a runbook. CRITICAL changes are a hard stop requiring CAB review.

See It in Action

These are the kinds of messages the active runtime receives from enforcement hooks. Blocks are mechanical, not advisory.

Task-Shaped Workflows. GSD-Backed Execution. SB-Enforced Evidence.

/silver is the APO router: it classifies the request, composes the smallest safe workflow, delegates lifecycle work to GSD, and wraps execution with the right gates, reviews, documentation, DevOps controls, and release evidence.
