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.
