Elephant
Full context
Deep-context agents load system history, architecture, component boundaries, and user journeys. The Elephant runs structured brainstorming, probes operational limits, and drafts the specification.
Design with an elephant
Review with a goldfish
Thousands of Google engineers use this open-source plugin to draft specs with deep-context agents and stress-test them with zero-context subagents before writing code.
Goldfish
Zero context
Stateless, isolated subagents read only the draft spec and live source code, without conversation bias. A Goldfish swarm stress-tests the design from conflicting perspectives before you write code.
Agents explore options and audit drafts, while engineers make the architectural trade-offs and approve every specification before implementation.
From idea to a verified spec
- 1
/egm-brainstormClarify a rough idea through open-ended questioning and stress-test the hypothesis into a concept brief.
- 2
/egm-draftTurn the brief into a living design doc under docs/designs/, section by section.
- 3
/egm-reviewFresh zero-context Goldfish subagents check completeness, clarity, self-containment, and implementation readiness.
- No skill needed
Hand the verified spec directly to your coding agent to build the feature.
Then weekly
/egm-drift-reportCompare your codebase against your specs to find where they diverge.
Included skills
/egm-brainstormBrainstormIdeate before any document exists. Clarify the problem and stress-test the raw concept into a structured brief./egm-draftDraftCompile a markdown design specification section by section, with the Elephant holding the full context./egm-reviewReviewRun the multi-stage Goldfish verification pipeline: zoom out, comprehension, critic, readiness./egm-bootstrapBootstrapGenerate bottom-up documentation for an existing codebase and keep it current in sentinel blocks./egm-drift-reportDrift ReportScan the syntax tree to flag where live code diverges from checked-in specs.
