Features

Gem Team gives you Quality by Default, Smart & Efficient, Works With Your Tools, and Learns & Improves: four pillars that compound over time. This page groups features by the benefit they deliver: detailed docs are linked per section.

Ship With Confidence (Quality)

Quality checks run automatically, not as an afterthought:

• Plan validation: Correctness, dependency cycle detection, wave ordering, contract integrity checks.
• Critic review: Assumption auditing, edge-case discovery, over-engineering detection, design smell detection (rigidity, fragility, immobility, viscosity).
• Design smell detection: Planner pre-checks, critic challenges, simplifier applies targeted patterns. Orchestrator escalates complexity when architectural risk is detected.
• Answer-first communication: Agents lead with the concrete action or command: no preamble, no tangents, no recaps. Number steps when there are multiple. End with exactly one clear next action.
• Security audits: OWASP scanning, secrets/PII detection, mobile 8-vector scan (keychain, cert pinning, deep links, biometric auth, network security).
• Accessibility audits: WCAG 2.1 AA contrast checks, ARIA labels, focus indicators, touch targets: configurable depth (none, basic, full).
• Visual regression: Screenshot comparison with configurable thresholds.

Test Automatically (TDD)

Tests aren't optional: they're baked in:

• E2E browser testing: Flow-based scenarios with assertions, visual evidence, console/network capture.
• Mobile E2E testing: iOS + Android with Detox, Maestro, Appium: gestures, lifecycle, push notifications, device farms.
• Performance testing: Cold start TTI, memory profiling, frame rate analysis, bundle size tracking.
• Platform-specific testing: Safe areas, keyboard behaviors, system permissions, dark mode, haptics.

Design Consistently

Design systems and accessibility baked into the workflow:

• Design systems: Palettes, typography scales, spacing, shadows, design movements in a 9-section DESIGN.md.
• Mobile: iOS HIG, Android Material 3, safe areas, dynamic island, touch targets (44pt / 48dp).
• Accessibility-first: Contrast 4.5:1, reduced-motion, semantic HTML/ARIA.
• Agent prompt guide: Each design output includes agent-ready prompts for implementation.

Deploy Without Fear

Infrastructure and CI/CD handled by dedicated agents:

• Infrastructure: Docker, Kubernetes, cloud (AWS/GCP/Azure).
• CI/CD: PR → staging → smoke → production, with configurable approval gates.
• Health & recovery: Endpoint verification, resource monitoring, auto-rollback strategies.
• Mobile deployment: EAS Build/Update, Fastlane, TestFlight, Google Play phased rollouts.
• Idempotent: All operations safe to re-run.

Cross-Cutting Capabilities

These run across all workflows but have dedicated pages for details:
