## 1. Strategic Foundation

### 1.1 What NEXUS Solves

Individual agents are powerful. But without coordination, they produce:
- Conflicting architectural decisions
- Duplicated effort across divisions
- Quality gaps at handoff boundaries
- No shared context or institutional memory

**NEXUS eliminates these failure modes** by defining:
- **Who** activates at each phase
- **What** they produce and for whom
- **When** they hand off and to whom
- **How** quality is verified before advancement
- **Why** each agent exists in the pipeline (no passengers)

### 1.2 Core Principles

| Principle | Description |
|-----------|-------------|
| **Pipeline Integrity** | No phase advances without passing its quality gate |
| **Context Continuity** | Every handoff carries full context — no agent starts cold |
| **Parallel Execution** | Independent workstreams run concurrently to compress timelines |
| **Evidence Over Claims** | All quality assessments require proof, not assertions |
| **Fail Fast, Fix Fast** | Maximum 3 retries per task before escalation |
| **Single Source of Truth** | One canonical spec, one task list, one architecture doc |

### 1.3 The Agent Roster by Division

| Division | Agents | Primary NEXUS Role |

## 6. Phase 3 — Build & Iterate

> **Objective**: Implement features through continuous Dev↔QA loops. Every task is validated before the next begins. This is where the bulk of the work happens.

### 6.1 The Dev↔QA Loop

This is the heart of NEXUS. The Agents Orchestrator manages a **task-by-task quality loop**:

```
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│                   DEV ↔ QA LOOP                          │
│                                                          │
│  ┌──────────┐    ┌──────────┐    ┌──────────────────┐   │
│  │ Developer │───▶│ Evidence │───▶│ Decision Logic    │   │
│  │ Agent     │    │ Collector│    │                   │   │
│  │           │    │ (QA)     │    │ PASS → Next Task  │   │
│  │ Implements│    │          │    │ FAIL → Retry (≤3) │   │
│  │ Task N    │    │ Tests    │    │ BLOCKED → Escalate│   │
│  │           │◀───│ Task N   │◀───│                   │   │
│  └──────────┘    └──────────┘    └──────────────────┘   │

│       └────────────────────────────────────┘             │
│                                                          │
│  Orchestrator tracks: attempt count, QA feedback,        │
│  task status, cumulative quality metrics                 │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

    └── A/B test management
```

### 6.4 Phase 3 Quality Gate

**Gate Keeper**: Agents Orchestrator

| Criterion | Threshold | Evidence Required |
|-----------|-----------|-------------------|
| All tasks pass QA | 100% task completion | Evidence Collector screenshots per task |
| API endpoints validated | All endpoints tested | API Tester report |
| Performance baselines met | P95 < 200ms, LCP < 2.5s | Performance Benchmarker report |
| Brand consistency verified | 95%+ adherence | Brand Guardian audit |
| No critical bugs | Zero P0/P1 open issues | Test Results Analyzer summary |

**Output**: Feature-complete application → Phase 4 activation

---

## 7. Phase 4 — Quality & Hardening

> **Objective**: The final quality gauntlet. The Reality Checker defaults to "NEEDS WORK" — you must prove production readiness with overwhelming evidence.

### 7.1 Active Agents

| Agent | Role in Phase | Primary Output |
|-------|--------------|----------------|
| **Reality Checker** | Final integration testing (defaults to NEEDS WORK) | Reality-Based Integration Report |
| **Evidence Collector** | Comprehensive visual evidence | Screenshot Evidence Package |
| **Performance Benchmarker** | Load testing + optimization | Performance Certification |
| **API Tester** | Full API regression suite | API Test Report |
| **Test Results Analyzer** | Aggregate quality metrics | Quality Metrics Dashboard |
| **Legal Compliance Checker** | Final compliance audit | Compliance Certification |
| **Infrastructure Maintainer** | Production readiness check | Infrastructure Readiness Report |
| **Workflow Optimizer** | Process efficiency review | Optimization Recommendations |

### 7.2 The Hardening Sequence

```
STEP 1: Evidence Collection (Parallel)
├── Evidence Collector → Full screenshot suite (desktop, tablet, mobile)
├── API Tester → Complete endpoint regression
├── Performance Benchmarker → Load test at 10x expected traffic
└── Legal Compliance Checker → Final regulatory audit

STEP 2: Analysis (Parallel, after Step 1)
├── Test Results Analyzer → Aggregate all test data into quality dashboard
├── Workflow Optimizer → Identify remaining process inefficiencies
└── Infrastructure Maintainer → Production environment validation

STEP 3: Final Judgment (Sequential, after Step 2)
└── Reality Checker → Integration Report
    ├── Cross-validates ALL previous QA findings
    ├── Tests complete user journeys with screenshot evidence
    ├── Verifies specification compliance point-by-point
    ├── Default verdict: NEEDS WORK
    └── READY only with overwhelming evidence across all criteria
```

### 7.3 Phase 4 Quality Gate (THE FINAL GATE)

**Gate Keeper**: Reality Checker (sole authority)

| Criterion | Threshold | Evidence Required |
|-----------|-----------|-------------------|
| User journeys complete | All critical paths working | End-to-end screenshots |
| Cross-device consistency | Desktop + Tablet + Mobile | Responsive screenshots |
| Performance certified | P95 < 200ms, uptime > 99.9% | Load test results |
| Security validated | Zero critical vulnerabilities | Security scan report |
| Compliance certified | All regulatory requirements met | Legal Compliance Checker report |
| Specification compliance | 100% of spec requirements | Point-by-point verification |

**Verdict Options**:
- **READY** — Proceed to launch (rare on first pass)
- **NEEDS WORK** — Return to Phase 3 with specific fix list (expected)
- **NOT READY** — Major architectural issues, return to Phase 1/2

**Expected**: First implementations typically require 2-3 revision cycles. A B/B+ rating is normal and healthy.

```markdown
## NEXUS Handoff Document

### Metadata
- **From**: [Agent Name] ([Division])
- **To**: [Agent Name] ([Division])
- **Phase**: [Current NEXUS Phase]
- **Task Reference**: [Task ID from Sprint Prioritizer backlog]
- **Priority**: [Critical / High / Medium / Low]
- **Timestamp**: [ISO 8601]

### Context
- **Project**: [Project name and brief description]

```

### 11.2 QA Feedback Loop Protocol

When a task fails QA, the feedback must be actionable:

```markdown
## QA Failure Feedback

### Attempt: [1/2/3] of 3 maximum
### Verdict: FAIL

### Specific Issues Found
1. **[Issue Category]**: [Exact description with screenshot reference]

2. **[Issue Category]**: [Exact description]
   - Expected: [...]
   - Actual: [...]
   - Evidence: [...]

### Fix Instructions
- [Specific, actionable fix instruction 1]
- [Specific, actionable fix instruction 2]

```

### 11.3 Escalation Protocol

When a task exceeds 3 retry attempts:

```markdown
## Escalation Report

### Task: [Task ID]
### Attempts Exhausted: 3/3
### Escalation Level: [To Agents Orchestrator / To Studio Producer]

### Recommended Resolution
- [ ] Reassign to different developer agent
- [ ] Decompose task into smaller sub-tasks
- [ ] Revise architecture/approach
- [ ] Accept current state with known limitations
- [ ] Defer to future sprint

### Impact Assessment
- **Blocking**: [What other tasks are blocked by this]
- **Timeline Impact**: [How this affects the overall schedule]
- **Quality Impact**: [What quality compromises exist]
```
