research
This is the first phase of the APEX workflow. It gathers all intelligence needed for planning and implementation.
Please provide:

- Linear/JIRA ticket ID (e.g., "APE-59")
- Path to task file (e.g., "./tickets/feature.md")
- Existing APEX task ID

review-plan
Use when a task already has research and plan sections and the plan needs adversarial review before implementation
24ship
Review and finalize (REVIEWER + DOCUMENTER phases) - runs adversarial code review, commits changes, completes task, and records reflection to capture pattern outcomes.
6apex:debug
Systematic debugging with pattern learning. Applies hypothesis-driven investigation, evidence collection, and reflection to update pattern confidence.
6execute
Orchestrator that runs the full APEX workflow (research → plan → implement → ship) in a single session. Use for tasks you want to complete without context switches.

Architecture phase (ARCHITECT) - transforms research into rigorous technical architecture through 5 mandatory design artifacts. Interactive and iterative.
5implement
Build and validate loop (BUILDER + validation) - implements the architecture, runs tests, iterates until passing. Writes code following the plan.
