Command Design Patterns
The Forge Model (Gold Standard)
forge.md at 40 lines is the reference dispatcher. Contains: header (wave, agent, overview) | Agent invocation (name + command + config) | Success criteria (checklist) | Next wave handoff | Expected outputs. Every dispatcher should aspire to this pattern.
Command Categories
| Category | Description | Size Target | Examples |
|---|---|---|---|
| Simple | Direct action, minimal delegation | 40-80 lines | forge, start, version, git |
| Dispatcher | Delegates to one agent with context | 40-150 lines | research, review, execute |
| Orchestrator | Coordinates multiple agents/phases | 100-300 lines | develop, document |
Declarative Command Template
Commands declare WHAT, not HOW. The agent knows how to do its job.
