Depends on:
Governance Enforcement
Enforces Pre-Code Gate, model roles, preflight resolution, mid-session handoff, execution logging, and feedback capture. Reads .project-ai/ authority pack when available.
Spending Awareness
Session-scoped cost estimation, budget tracking, and spend forecasting for AI agent usage. Estimates token consumption from observable work, projects burn rate against a budget, and reports at session end.
Coordinates with:
Session Start
Initializes a coding session — loads authority pack or authoritative files, checks project state, verifies git status.
Session End
Saves session state — updates PROJECT_STATE.md, SESSION_CHECKPOINT.md, and DECISION_LOG.md.
Project Manager
Enterprise-grade PM and orchestration hub. Auto-selects methodology (Agile, SAFe, Lean, PRINCE2, Kanban, CRISP-DM) per project archetype. Reads from the shared context bus to synthesize cross-skill intelligence, process pending signals, recommend next workflows, and provide C-suite dashboards. Combines McKinsey MECE, RAID, OKR, DORA, BCG portfolio, Theory of Constraints, and value stream mapping.
