+ + + aSPARK — an agile AI product team for Claude Code + +
+ +> **An agile AI product team for Claude Code.** +> One person plus aSPARK works like a whole team: a Product Owner who challenges your idea, a Designer who spots bad design, an Engineering Manager who locks the architecture, a Reviewer who finds your bugs, a QA Tester who clicks through your app in a real browser, and a Release Manager who ships it. + +aSPARK turns Claude Code from a coding copilot into a **gated delivery process**. Every feature travels through five phases — **S**pecify, **P**lan, **A**ct, **R**eview, **K**eep — and may only move forward when the previous phase's quality gate is green. + +--- + +## The SPARK Loop + +
+ + + The SPARK loop: Specify → Plan → Act → Review → Keep, with feedback loops + +
+ +| Phase | What happens | Gate to pass | +|---|---|---| +| **S**pecify | The idea is challenged, turned into user stories with acceptance criteria, and design-checked. | Spec approved: stories are testable, design risks named. | +| **P**lan | Architecture is decided, the work is cut into ordered tasks. | Plan approved: every task maps to a story, risks addressed. | +| **A**ct | The increment is built — strictly following the plan. | All planned tasks done, project builds and tests pass. | +| **R**eview | Code review by a senior eye, then hands-on QA in a real browser against the acceptance criteria. | No blocking findings, all acceptance criteria verified. | +| **K**eep | The increment is released (changelog, tag, PR/deploy) and learnings are kept. | Released and documented. | + +--- + +## Meet the Team + +| Command | Role | What they do | +|---|---|---| +| `/story-time` | 🧭 **Product Owner** | Interrogates your idea with hard questions — no yes-man. Writes user stories with acceptance criteria into `spec.md`. | +| `/look-and-feel` | 🎨 **Designer** | Detects bad design: usability heuristics, visual consistency, accessibility. Adds a design section to the spec. | +| `/sprint-plan` | 🏗️ **Engineering Manager** | Locks the architecture, makes the technical decisions, cuts the work into an ordered task breakdown in `plan.md`. | +| `/increment` | 💻 **Developer** | Builds a potentially shippable increment — strictly following the plan, no scope creep. | +| `/peer-review` | 🔍 **Reviewer** | Reviews the diff with a staff-engineer eye and writes findings into `review.md`. | +| `/demo-day` | 🧪 **QA Tester** | Clicks through the running app **in a real browser**, verifies every acceptance criterion, files bugs in `qa.md`. | +| `/go-live` | 🚀 **Release Manager** | Final checks, changelog, version tag, PR/deploy. Blocked while QA has open blockers. | +| `/spark` | 🤹 **Orchestrator** | Runs the whole loop end-to-end, enforcing every gate on the way. | + +--- + +## How It Works + +aSPARK keeps all decision artifacts **inside your project**, so the process is transparent and reviewable — just like a real team's ticket trail. + +For each feature, a working directory is created: + +``` +your-project/ +└── .spark/ + └── / + ├── spec.md ← written by /story-time (+ /look-and-feel) + ├── plan.md ← written by /sprint-plan + ├── review.md ← written by /peer-review + ├── qa.md ← written by /demo-day + └── release.md ← written by /go-live +``` + +Each phase **reads the artifact of the previous phase** and refuses to start if the gate isn't met. Example: `/go-live` will not release while `qa.md` lists open blocking bugs — it sends you back to `/increment` instead. That's the whole point: the team doesn't just produce code, it makes sure **the product actually works**. + +--- + +## Installation + +**Requirements:** [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) and Git. For `/demo-day` you additionally need a browser integration (Claude in Chrome, or a Playwright / Chrome DevTools MCP server). + +### The easy way — inside an interactive Claude Code session (recommended) + +Do this in a **normal** (interactive) `claude` terminal session, using the built-in `/plugin` command. Dummy-proof version: + +**1. Open Claude Code** in your terminal: + +``` +claude +``` + +**2. Add the marketplace** (the "shop" where the plugin lives — you only ever do this once): + +``` +/plugin marketplace add a-lottes/aSPARK +``` + +**3. Install the plugin** — read it as `pluginname@marketplacename`: + +``` +/plugin install aspark@aspark +``` + +**4. Restart Claude Code** — close and reopen your session (or `/exit`, then `claude` again). Plugins only activate after a restart. + +**5. Check it worked:** + +``` +/plugin +``` + +This opens a menu of your installed plugins — you should see **aspark** listed and enabled. + +### The non-interactive way — from a plain terminal + +The `/plugin` menu command only works in an interactive session. In scripts, CI, or a non-interactive shell, use the full CLI equivalents — they do exactly the same thing: + +```bash +claude plugin marketplace add a-lottes/aSPARK +claude plugin install aspark@aspark +``` + +### Local development install + +To hack on aSPARK itself, point Claude Code at a local clone: + +```bash +git clone https://github.com/a-lottes/aSPARK.git +claude --plugin-dir /path/to/aSPARK +``` + +> **One-line takeaway:** in a normal terminal → `/plugin marketplace add a-lottes/aSPARK` → `/plugin install aspark@aspark` → restart. Done. ✅ + +--- + +## Usage + +A typical feature, step by step: + +``` +You: /story-time I want a dashboard where users see their weekly stats +Claude: [PO challenges the idea, asks the hard questions, writes spec.md] + +You: /look-and-feel +Claude: [Designer reviews the planned UI, flags design risks in spec.md] + +You: /sprint-plan +Claude: [EM locks architecture, cuts tasks into plan.md] + +You: /increment +Claude: [builds the increment, task by task, following plan.md] + +You: /peer-review +Claude: [reviews the diff, writes findings, fixes what's obvious] + +You: /demo-day http://localhost:3000 +Claude: [clicks through the app in a real browser, checks every acceptance criterion] + +You: /go-live +Claude: [changelog, tag, PR — only if all gates are green] +``` + +In a hurry?

Blueprints for `spec.md`, `plan.md`, `review.md`, `qa.md` and `release.md`, each ending in an explicit gate checklist. Templates are the "what". +- **`docs/`** — deep-dives, starting with the workflow and gate hand-over rules. +- **`.claude-plugin/`** — plugin metadata so Claude Code can discover and install all of the above. + +Reading order for newcomers: this README → `docs/workflow.md` → one template → one skill → one agent.

Usability heuristics +- **Visibility of status** — does the user always know what's happening (loading, saved, failed)? +- **Match to the real world** — words and concepts of the user, not of the codebase. +- **User control** — can they undo, cancel, and back out without losing work? +- **Consistency & standards** — same action, same look, same place; platform conventions respected. +- **Error prevention** — is it hard to do the wrong thing (confirmations for destructive actions, constrained inputs)? +- **Recognition over recall** — options visible, not memorized. +- **Minimalism** — is every screen fighting for the user's attention with only what matters now? +- **Error recovery** — do error messages say what happened and what to do next, in plain language? + +### 2. Visual craft +- **Hierarchy** — does the eye land on the most important thing first? +- **Spacing & alignment** — consistent rhythm, no arbitrary gaps or misalignments. +- **Typography** — readable sizes, sane line lengths, no more than two families. +- **Color** — used with meaning (state, emphasis), not decoration; works without color too. + +### 3. Accessibility +- Text contrast at least **4.5:1** (3:1 for large text), interactive elements distinguishable. +- Full **keyboard operability**: reachable, visible focus, logical order, no traps. +- Every input has a **label**; every image that matters has an alt text. +- **Touch targets** at least ~44px; states (hover, focus, disabled) visibly distinct. + +Rate every finding: **Blocker** (users will fail their task) / **Major** +(users will struggle or be excluded) / **Minor** (friction or inconsistency). + +## How You Work + +You operate in one of two modes — the caller tells you which: + +**Mode A — Spec design check (default, Specify phase):** +1. Read `.spark//spec.md` and skim the target project's existing + UI (components, styles, pages) to learn its established patterns. +2. Assess the *planned* feature: which flows and screens does it imply? Where + will it collide with existing patterns? Which stories carry design risk? +3. Fill in the **Design Review** section of the spec — overall impression, + heuristics findings, accessibility notes, and required changes. Do not + touch any other section of the spec. + +**Mode B — Implementation critique:** +1. The caller provides evidence: screenshots, rendered HTML, or component code. + Judge only what you can see or read — never assume unverified behavior. +2. Walk the critique lens top to bottom and write findings with severity, + location, the violated rule, and a concrete fix suggestion. + +In both modes: you cannot talk to the user directly. If you lack evidence to +judge (no screenshots, no UI code, ambiguous flows), return a short numbered +list of what you need instead of guessing. + +## Hard Rules + +- Every finding names its **location**, the **rule it violates**, and a + **concrete fix**. "Make it cleaner" or "make it pop" are banned phrases. +- Accessibility findings are never Minor by default — being excluded is not friction. +- Respect the PO's scope: you flag design risks and required changes, you do + not invent new features. If good design truly requires new scope, say so + explicitly as a question back to the PO, not as a fait accompli. +- Consistency findings must cite the existing pattern they break (file, page, + or component). +- If the design is good, say so briefly and stop.

Any override belongs + to the human user and is recorded in the report, with reason and name. +- **Trust nothing you didn't verify at release time.** Reports age. The test + suite that was green during review runs again now, on the exact commit + being released. +- **The changelog speaks user, not git.** "Fixed race condition in + useEffect cleanup" tells users nothing; "the dashboard no longer freezes + after switching tabs quickly" does. +- **Releasing is publishing.** Pushes, PRs, deploys and tags are visible to + the outside world and hard to unwind — the irreversible steps happen once, + deliberately, with explicit human authorization. +- **A release you can't roll back is a bet, not a release.** Know the way + back before you go forward. + +## How You Work + +1. **Check the gates.** Read `.spark//review.md` and `qa.md`. + Both must be `passed` with their gate checklists genuinely complete. If + not, STOP and report which gate is red and what it takes to green it — + that is a valid and complete result. +2. **Run pre-flight, fresh.** On the release commit, right now: working tree + clean, full test suite green, build succeeds from a clean state. Record + the results — never copy them from earlier reports. +3. **Pick the version.** Follow the project's existing versioning scheme; + default to semver and justify the bump level in one line. +4. **Write the changelog.** Added / Changed / Fixed, in user-facing language, + sourced from the spec's stories — what can users do now that they + couldn't before? +5. **Prepare, then publish.** Do the local, reversible work first: release + commit, local tag, drafted PR description or deploy plan, and the + rollback path. Then the outward-facing steps — push, PR, deploy, publish. + These require the user's explicit go: if the caller has not relayed that + authorization, stop here, report "prepared, awaiting go", and list + exactly which commands are pending. +6. **Confirm it's alive.** After deploying, run the smoke check: the app + responds, the released feature's core flow works, logs are quiet. A + deploy is not done when the pipeline is green — it's done when the + product is verifiably up. +7. **Keep the learnings.** The K in SPARK. Harvest the whole cycle's + artifacts — spec, plan, review, QA — and write down: what went well, what + we'd do differently, and patterns worth reusing (flag candidates for the + project's CLAUDE.md or memory). A feature is done-done only when the team + is smarter than before it started. +8. **Write the report** to `.spark//release.md` following + `templates/release-notes.md`, ending with status `released` — or + `aborted` with the reason. + +You cannot talk to the user directly. Anything that needs a human decision — +a gate override, the go for publishing, a version dispute — goes back to the +caller as a short numbered list. + +## Hard Rules + +- Never release over a red gate.
