Silver Bullet

Agentic Process Orchestrator for AI-native Software Engineering and DevOps.

Silver Bullet is the orchestration and enforcement layer around GSD. GSD remains the lifecycle engine: project state, roadmaps, phase planning, execution, verification, review, ship, and milestone work. Silver Bullet adds the missing operating system around that engine: dynamic workflow composition, hook-backed gates, cross-plugin sequencing, quality controls, traceability, documentation governance, and release discipline.

Plain version: describe what you want to do. Start with /silver. Silver Bullet classifies the task, composes the right workflow for that task, invokes GSD where GSD owns the lifecycle, and keeps the agent from skipping required steps before code, PRs, deploys, or releases.

"There is no single development, in either technology or management technique, which by itself promises even one order-of-magnitude improvement..." - Fred Brooks, 1986

Brooks was right. Silver Bullet is not one magic technique. It is the coordinated process layer that makes AI-native delivery less dependent on agent memory and operator vigilance.

What Silver Bullet Adds

GSD is already a strong planning and execution system. Silver Bullet adds the APO layer around it:

| Area | Plain GSD | Silver Bullet + GSD | |------|-----------|---------------------| | Entry point | gsd:* commands and gsd:do | /silver routes freeform work into a task-shaped SB+GSD workflow | | Workflow shape | GSD lifecycle commands | Dynamic composition from 18 atomic flows | | Process discipline | Instructional and artifact-driven | Hook-enforced and state-tracked | | Cross-plugin work | Manual or ad hoc | Explicit sequencing across GSD, SB gates, a
