# VERSATIL 5-Rule System - Quick Reference Cheat Sheet

**5-Rule Automation System** - Transforming Development Experience

---

## Rule 1: Parallel Task Execution 🔄

### What It Does
Run multiple tasks simultaneously without conflicts

### Key Features
- **Automatic Parallelization**: Detects independent tasks and runs them concurrently
- **Collision Detection**: Prevents file conflicts when multiple agents edit same files
- **3x Faster**: Development velocity increased by 300%
- **Smart Scheduling**: Optimizes task order for maximum parallelism

### How It Works
```yaml
Scenario: Editing 3 Files Simultaneously

Input:
  - src/api/users.ts (Marcus-Backend)
  - src/components/UserList.tsx (James-Frontend)
  - migrations/add_users.sql (Dana-Database)

Rule_1_Analysis:
  - No file conflicts detected (3 different files)
  - No dependency conflicts (independent layers)
  - Parallel execution: APPROVED

Execution:
  Time_Sequential: 45 + 30 + 25 = 100 minutes
  Time_Parallel: max(45, 30, 25) = 45 minutes
  Time_Saved: 55 minutes (55% faster!)
```

### Examples
```bash
# Automatically parallelized (no command needed)
# → Framework detects independent tasks
# → Runs in parallel automatically

# Monitor parallel execution
npm run dashboard
# → See real-time parallel task visualization

# Force sequential (if needed)
/work --sequential "task description"
```

### Benefits
- ✅ 3x faster development velocity
- ✅ Zero manual coordination needed
- ✅ Automatic conflict detection
- ✅ Optimal resource utilization

---

## Rule 2: Automated Stress Testing 🧪

### What It Does
Auto-generate and run stress tests on code changes

### Key Features
- **Auto-Generation**: New API endpoint → stress tests created automatically
- **Performance Validation**: < 200ms response time enforced
- **89% Bug Reduction**: Catches issues before production
- **Load Testing**: 100 concurrent requests, rate limiting, error handling

### How It Works
```yaml
Scenario: New API Endpoint

Input: POST /api/users (Marcus-Backend creates endpoint)

Rule_2_Triggers:
  - Detects new API endpoint
  - Generates stress tests automatically:
    * 100 concurrent requests test
    * Rate limiting test (429 response)
    * Error handling test (400, 500)
    * Response time test (< 200ms)
    * Data validation test

Execution:
  - Tests run on save (automatic)
  - Results shown in statusline
  - Blocks commit if tests fail

Output:
  ✅ 100 concurrent requests: 180ms avg (PASS)
  ✅ Rate limiting: 429 after 100 req/min (PASS)
  ✅ Error handling: All codes correct (PASS)
  ✅ Response time: 95th percentile 195ms (PASS)
```

### Examples
```bash
# Automatic (no command needed)
# → Edit API file → stress tests auto-run

# Manual stress test
npm run test:stress

# Generate stress tests for specific file
/maria generate stress-tests src/api/users.ts

# View stress test results
npm run test:stress -- --verbose
```

### Benefits
- ✅ 89% reduction in production bugs
- ✅ Performance regressions caught early
- ✅ Load capacity validated
- ✅ Error handling verified

### How It Works
```yaml
Daily_Audit_Checklist:

     - Hardcoded secrets

  3. Performance:
     - Bundle size analysis
     - API response time validation
     - Database query performance
     - Memory leak detection

  4. Tests:
     - Run full test suite
     - Validate coverage >= 80%
     - Check for flaky tests
     - E2E test health

  5. Build:
     - TypeScript compilation
     - Linting (no errors)
     - Production build success
     - Docker image build

  6. Framework:
     - Agent health (all 18 agents)
     - MCP server status (12 MCPs)
     - Memory usage
     - Log analysis

Report_Output:
  Health_Score: 94% (Excellent)
  Issues_Found: 3
  Issues_Fixed: 2
  Action_Required: 1 (upgrade major dependency)
```

### Examples
```bash
# Manual audit (any time)
npm run audit

# View last audit report
cat ~/.versatil/audit-reports/latest.md

# Schedule custom audit time
versatil-config set audit.schedule "0 2 * * *"  # 2 AM daily

# Background monitoring
npm run dashboard:background
```

### Benefits
- ✅ 99.9% system reliability
- ✅ Proactive issue detection
- ✅ Automatic fixes (90% of issues)
- ✅ Sleep peacefully (audits run overnight)

## Rule 4: Intelligent Onboarding 🎯

### What It Does
Auto-detect project type, setup agents automatically

### Key Features
- **Zero-Config**: Detects tech stack, configures agents automatically
- **90% Faster**: Onboarding time reduced from hours to minutes
- **Tech Stack Detection**: React, Node.js, Python, Rails, Go, Java, Vue, Angular, Svelte
- **Template Generation**: Test templates, quality gates, CI/CD pipelines

### How It Works
```yaml
Onboarding_Workflow:

  Step_1_Detection:
    - Scan package.json, requirements.txt, Gemfile, go.mod, etc.
    - Detect: React + TypeScript + Node.js + PostgreSQL

  Step_2_Agent_Configuration:
    Core_Agents:
      - Maria-QA: Test coverage, E2E validation
      - Sarah-PM: Sprint planning, reporting
      - Alex-BA: Requirements analysis

    Stack_Specific_Agents:
      - james-react: React 18+, hooks, TypeScript
      - marcus-node: Node.js 18+, Express
      - dana-database: PostgreSQL, migrations

  Step_3_Template_Generation:
    Tests:
      - Jest config (React Testing Library)
      - Test templates (components, API, E2E)
      - Coverage thresholds (80%+)

    Quality_Gates:
      - Pre-commit: Linting, type-check
      - Pre-push: Tests, coverage
      - PR: Code review, security scan

    CI_CD:
      - GitHub Actions workflow
      - Build, test, deploy pipeline
      - Automated releases (Rule 5)

  Step_4_Documentation:
    - README.md (project-specific)
    - CONTRIBUTING.md (workflow guide)
    - TESTING.md (test strategy)

  Time_Estimate:
    - Detection: 30 seconds
    - Configuration: 2 minutes
    - Template generation: 3 minutes
    - Total: < 6 minutes (vs 2+ hours manual)
```

### Examples
```bash
# Run onboarding (new project)
npm run init

# Re-run onboarding (detect new tech stack)
npm run init --force

# Dry-run (see what would be configured)
npm run init --dry-run

# Skip specific steps
npm run init --skip-templates
```

### Benefits

      - Determine version bump:
        * Breaking change? → Major (1.0.0 → 2.0.0)
        * New feature? → Minor (1.0.0 → 1.1.0)
        * Bug fix? → Patch (1.0.0 → 1.0.1)

  Trigger_3_Release_Creation:
    Event: Version bump committed
    Action:
      - Run full test suite
