Features

Gem Team combines four pillars: Quality by default, Smart and efficient, Works with your tools, and Learns and improves.

Ship With Confidence

Core acceptance checks run automatically; specialist audits are routed by task requirements and changed-scope risk:

• Library-first - prefer maintained libraries over custom implementations.
• Plan validation - validate MEDIUM/HIGH plans for ordering, ownership, correctness, and contract integrity.
• Risk-based review - use standard, high, or critic review for high-risk signals, explicit requests, or insufficient evidence.
• Security and compliance - review changed code, configuration, and integrations; route security-sensitive work to specialists.
• Accessibility - configurable WCAG 2.2 AA checks for contrast, ARIA, focus indicators, and touch targets (none, basic, full).
• Visual regression - compare screenshots against a configurable threshold.
• Simplification and clarity - apply targeted design simplification and answer with the action first.

Test Automatically

TDD and acceptance checks are part of the workflow:

• Browser E2E - flow assertions, visual evidence, and console/network capture.
• Mobile E2E - iOS and Android checks with Detox, Maestro, or Appium.
• Performance - cold-start TTI, memory, frame rate, and bundle-size checks.
• Platform behavior - safe areas, keyboards, permissions, dark mode, and haptics.

Match Model Strength to Task Complexity

Model routing assigns configured tiers to delegated agents:

Choose models and providers in .gem-team.yaml; the Orchestrator applies the tier when delegating work.

Design Consistently

Design systems and accessibility are built into the workflow:

• Design systems - palettes, type scales, spacing, shadows, and design movements in a nine-section DESIGN.md.
• Mobile - iOS HIG, Material 3, safe areas, Dynamic Island, and 44pt/48dp touch targets.
• Accessibility-first - 4.5:1 contrast, reduced motion, and semantic HTML/ARIA.
• Implementation prompts - design output includes agent-ready prompts.

Deploy Without Fear

Dedicated agents handle infrastructure and CI/CD:

• Infrastructure - Docker, Kubernetes, and AWS/GCP/Azure.
• CI/CD - PR -> staging -> smoke -> production with configurable approval gates.
• Health and recovery - endpoint verification, resource monitoring, and rollback strategies.
• Mobile release - EAS Build/Update, Fastlane, TestFlight, and phased Google Play rollouts.
• Idempotent operations - safe to run again.

Resumable by Design

Every MEDIUM/HIGH task gets a persistent plan ID and plan.yaml. Work can be paused, resumed, or extended without losing context:

• Exact plan IDs - no fuzzy matching or inference; continuation requires the exact ID.
• Ordered waves - each wave completes before the next begins; evidence carries forward through scoped handoffs.
• Parallel execution - independent tasks run in parallel within waves; overlapping ownership is serialized to prevent conflicts.
• Bounded replans - replans revise execution details, not the user's goal. A maximum of two replans prevents infinite loops.
• Relational invariant fallbacks - when an agent output violates a conditional requirement, the Orchestrator infers intent and fills the gap instead of rejecting valid work.
