SPARC development workflow: Specification, Pseudocode, Architecture, Refinement, Completion. A structured approach for complex implementations that ensures thorough planning before coding. Use when: new feature implementation, complex implementations, architectural changes, system redesign, integration work, unclear requirements. Skip when: simple bug fixes, documentation updates, configuration changes, well-defined small tasks, routine maintenance.

Sparc Methodology Skill

Purpose

SPARC development workflow: Specification, Pseudocode, Architecture, Refinement, Completion. A structured approach for complex implementations that ensures thorough planning before coding.

When to Trigger

• new feature implementation
• complex implementations
• architectural changes
• system redesign
• integration work
• unclear requirements

When to Skip

• simple bug fixes
• documentation updates
• configuration changes
• well-defined small tasks
• routine maintenance

Commands

Specification Phase

Define requirements, acceptance criteria, and constraints

npx @claude-flow/cli hooks route --task "specification: [requirements]"

Example:

npx @claude-flow/cli hooks route --task "specification: user authentication with OAuth2, MFA, and session management"

Pseudocode Phase

Write high-level pseudocode for the implementation

npx @claude-flow/cli hooks route --task "pseudocode: [feature]"

Example:

npx @claude-flow/cli hooks route --task "pseudocode: OAuth2 login flow with token refresh"

Architecture Phase

Design system structure, interfaces, and dependencies

npx @claude-flow/cli hooks route --task "architecture: [design]"

Example:

npx @claude-flow/cli hooks route --task "architecture: auth module with service layer, repository, and API endpoints"

Refinement Phase

Iterate on the design based on feedback

npx @claude-flow/cli hooks route --task "refinement: [feedback]"

Example:

npx @claude-flow/cli hooks route --task "refinement: add rate limiting and brute force protection"

Completion Phase

Finalize implementation with tests and documentation

npx @claude-flow/cli hooks route --task "completion: [final checks]"

Example:

npx @claude-flow/cli hooks route --task "completion: verify all tests pass, update API docs, security review"

SPARC Coordinator

Spawn SPARC coordinator agent

npx @claude-flow/cli agent spawn --type sparc-coord --name sparc-lead

Scripts

Script	Path	Description
sparc-init	.agents/scripts/sparc-init.sh	Initialize SPARC workflow for a new feature

Best Practices

1. Check memory for existing patterns before starting
2. Use hierarchical topology for coordination
3. Store successful patterns after completion
4. Document any new learnings
