Agents
Each command delegates to a specialized agent. Agents are tiered by model for cost-efficiency. Every agent displays a stage banner (MOTD) on start showing the current phase, stage number, agent name, model, and key capabilities.
Agent Naming
Agents use the fully qualified aidlc-for-claude: prefix when invoked via the Task tool.

Two-Part Stages
Three stages use a two-part approach for quality assurance:
Stage
Part 1 (Plan)
Part 2 (Execute)
