SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Coordinating complex software development across specification, architecture, implementation, testing, and review phases is error-prone when done ad hoc. This Skill provides a structured SPARC (Specification, Pseudocode, Architecture, Refinement, Completion) methodology with multi-agent orchestration via Claude Flow, so development follows a repeatable, test-driven process. ## Core Features & Use Cases - 17 Specialized Modes: Includes orchestrator, architect, coder, tdd, reviewer, researcher, debugger, optimizer, documenter, and more, each with defined capabilities and usage patterns. - Multiple Orchestration Patterns: Supports hierarchical, mesh, sequential pipeline, parallel, and adaptive swarm topologies for coordinating agents. - TDD Workflows: Built-in red-green-refactor cycles with coverage targets (90%+) and integration with Jest, Playwright, and other test frameworks. - Use Case: To build a full-stack feature, initialize a hierarchical swarm, then run researcher, architect, coder, tdd, and reviewer modes in sequence, with Memory sharing context between agents. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to run the SPARC pipeline for your feature, for example: use the sparc-methodology skill to design and implement a user authentication feature with test-driven development.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run a SPARC mode with Claude Flow?

Use the MCP tool mcp__claude-flow__sparc_mode with a mode name and task description, or run npx claude-flow sparc run <mode> "task" from the terminal. The MCP method is preferred inside Claude Code for full orchestration support.

What modes are available in the SPARC methodology?

SPARC provides 17 modes including orchestrator, swarm-coordinator, workflow-manager, coder, architect, tdd, reviewer, researcher, analyzer, optimizer, designer, innovator, documenter, debugger, tester, and memory-manager. List them with npx claude-flow sparc modes.

Can I run SPARC without MCP tools?

Yes, use the NPX CLI fallback: npx claude-flow sparc run <mode> "task description". It supports the same modes plus batch and pipeline execution, though MCP tools offer tighter Claude Code integration.

How does SPARC handle test-driven development?

The tdd mode follows a red-green-refactor cycle: write a failing test, implement minimal code to pass, then refactor. It targets 90%+ coverage and works with Jest, Mocha, Vitest, Playwright, and Cypress.

What swarm topologies does Claude Flow support for orchestration?

Claude Flow supports hierarchical, mesh, ring, and star topologies, initialized via mcp__claude-flow__swarm_init. Hierarchical suits delegated projects, mesh suits peer collaboration, and adaptive strategy auto-adjusts to workload.
