  - Validate isolation (prevent .versatil/ modification from projects)
  - Audit all shell commands to log file
- **Benefit**: 0 destructive command accidents, comprehensive audit trail

#### 3. beforeReadFile Hook
- **Purpose**: Context tracking, access logging, security warnings
- **Actions**:
  - Track file access for RAG context building
  - Warn when reading sensitive files (.env, credentials.json)
  - Log access patterns for agent performance analysis
  - Update context tracker (async)
- **Benefit**: Enhanced RAG accuracy, sensitive file protection

#### 4. beforeSubmitPrompt Hook

- **Actions**:
  - Detect agent keywords in prompt (test→Maria-QA, component→James, api→Marcus)
  - Suggest relevant OPERA agents based on intent
  - Enrich prompt with project context (.versatil-project.json)
  - Provide proactive hints to user
- **Benefit**: Better agent utilization, reduced user confusion

#### 5. stop Hook

---

### Phase 2: Plan Mode Integration (1.5 hours)

**Updated Files**:
- `CLAUDE.md` - Added comprehensive Plan Mode documentation
- `docs/guides/cursor-integration.md` - Added Plan Mode workflow examples

**Plan Mode Features**:

1. **Automatic Activation Triggers**:
   - Multi-agent coordination required (3+ agents)
   - Long-horizon tasks (estimated > 30 minutes)
   - Complex refactoring across multiple files
   - Full-stack feature implementation
   - Database migrations with API changes

2. **Plan Mode Workflow**:
   ```
   Phase 1: Planning (Sarah-PM coordinates)
     → Analyze complexity
     → Break down into agent tasks
     → Estimate duration
     → Present plan to user

   Phase 2: User Approval
     → User reviews plan
     → Options: Approve / Modify / Cancel

   Phase 3: Execution with TodoWrite Tracking
     → Each phase becomes a todo item
     → Real-time progress tracking
     → Statusline updates

   Phase 4: Completion & Learning
     → Actual vs estimated comparison
     → Codify to RAG memory
     → Continuous improvement
   ```

3. **TodoWrite Integration**:
   - Plan phases automatically become todo items
   - Real-time status updates (pending → in_progress → completed)
   - Progress percentage tracking in statusline

4. **Configuration**:
   ```json
   {
     "versatil": {
       "plan_mode": {
         "enabled": true,
         "auto_activate_threshold": "complex",
         "show_estimates": true,
         "require_approval": true,
         "parallel_optimization": true
       }
     }
   }
   ```

**Benefits**:
- ✅ Predictability: Know exactly what will happen before execution
- ✅ Transparency: See full task breakdown upfront
- ✅ Optimization: Sarah-PM optimizes agent coordination
- ✅ Error Prevention: Catch issues in planning phase
- ✅ Learning: Plan vs actual comparison improves estimates

### Phase 3: Cursor Commands Migration (1 hour)

**Created Directory**: `.cursor/commands/`

**Migrated Commands** (10 essential OPERA commands):
1. `/maria-qa` - Quality assurance and testing
2. `/james-frontend` - UI/UX development
3. `/marcus-backend` - API and backend architecture
4. `/dana-database` - Database schema and migrations
5. `/sarah-pm` - Project coordination
6. `/alex-ba` - Business analysis
7. `/dr-ai-ml` - Machine learning and AI
8. `/plan` - Feature planning with structured todos
9. `/monitor` - Framework health monitoring
10. `/framework-debug` - Comprehensive debugging

**Created Files**:
- `.cursor/commands/README.md` - Comprehensive command documentation
- `.cursor/commands/*.md` - All 10 OPERA agent commands

**Advantages Over Legacy Slash Commands**:
- ✅ Autocomplete in Cursor Agent input (press `/` to see all)
- ✅ Team sharing via git (commands checked into repo)
- ✅ Per-command model selection (specify in frontmatter)
- ✅ Better IDE integration (native Cursor feature)
- ✅ Discoverability (shows in command palette)

**Backward Compatibility**:
- `.claude/commands/` preserved for Claude Desktop MCP integration
- Both directories contain identical commands
- Users can use whichever format their environment supports

## 🐛 Known Issues & Limitations

### Hook System

1. **Hook Timeout**: Hooks have 5-second timeout (configurable in hooks.json)
   - **Impact**: Complex hooks may timeout
   - **Workaround**: Run heavy operations async (background)

2. **Hook Restart**: Hooks require Cursor restart to reload
   - **Impact**: Changes to hook scripts need Cursor restart
   - **Workaround**: Use `Cmd+Shift+P` → "Reload Window"

3. **Hook Error Handling**: Hook errors shown in Cursor output pane
   - **Impact**: May not be immediately visible
   - **Workaround**: Check `~/.versatil/logs/hooks.log`

### Plan Mode

1. **Manual Activation**: Plan mode requires `/plan` command for now
   - **Impact**: Not fully automatic yet
   - **Future**: Will auto-activate based on complexity

2. **Estimate Accuracy**: Time estimates are initial approximations
   - **Impact**: May not be 100% accurate initially
   - **Improvement**: RAG learning improves estimates over time

### Cursor Commands

1. **Command Reload**: New commands require window reload
   - **Impact**: New commands not immediately available
   - **Workaround**: `Cmd+Shift+P` → "Reload Window"
