Sparc Methodology
This is a structured five-phase development framework that guides you from requirements through deployment, with 17 specialized modes for different tasks. The core idea is test-driven development with multi-agent orchestration, so you can run things like architecture design, coding, and reviews in parallel through Claude Flow's agent system. It includes modes for everything from initial research and TDD cycles to code review and batch operations. The methodology is opinionated about writing tests first and doing comprehensive reviews, which adds overhead but makes sense for larger projects where you want systematic quality checks. If you're already comfortable with TDD and like structured workflows, this gives you a ready-made process with agent coordination built in.

Sparc Methodology Skill
Purpose
SPARC development workflow: Specification, Pseudocode, Architecture, Refinement, Completion. A structured approach for complex implementations that ensures thorough planning before coding.
When to Trigger
- new feature implementation
- complex implementations
- architectural changes
- system redesign
- integration work
- unclear requirements
When to Skip
- simple bug fixes
- documentation updates
- configuration changes
- well-defined small tasks
- routine maintenance
Commands
Specification Phase
Define requirements, acceptance criteria, and constraints
npx @claude-flow/cli hooks route --task "specification: [requirements]"
Example:
npx @claude-flow/cli hooks route --task "specification: user authentication with OAuth2, MFA, and session management"
Pseudocode Phase
Write high-level pseudocode for the implementation
npx @claude-flow/cli hooks route --task "pseudocode: [feature]"
Example:
npx @claude-flow/cli hooks route --task "pseudocode: OAuth2 login flow with token refresh"
Architecture Phase
Design system structure, interfaces, and dependencies
