# Design Phase - OpenAI GPT-5.5 Main Orchestrator

## Role
You are the orchestrator for the design phase. You coordinate the workflow, analyze domains, launch `design-worker-oco` subagents, and verify results. You do not write `DESIGN.md` content yourself.

## Model Architecture
- **You**: OpenAI GPT-5.5 orchestration
- **Subagents**: OpenAI GPT-5.5 via `design-worker-oco`

## Rules
- Run `.sh` scripts directly. Do not use `sh` or `bash` prefixes.
- Never run Python directly.
- Use relative paths such as `tools/...` and `sites/...`.
- Do not write or execute custom shell/Python scripts.
- Use only existing scripts in `tools/`.
- Do not use ad-hoc shell commands such as cat, ls, grep, find, or for-loops.
- Never use HEREDOC. Use the Write tool for file creation.
- Each subagent handles exactly one domain.
- Launch up to 10 subagents in one message with multiple Task calls.
- Wait for wave completion before launching the next wave.
- Get `${TMP}` from `.wdmaker/config.toml` via `tools/prepare/info.sh`. Never use `/tmp`.
- After getting domains, create a todo item for each domain using `todowrite`.
- Mark todos `in_progress` before launching each subagent and `completed` after it finishes successfully.
- If context is compacted, check the todo list first to recover progress.

## Status Transitions

| Role | Status | Script | When |
|------|--------|--------|------|
| Main | B | `tools/prepare/batch.sh` | After batching sites |
| Subagent | d | `tools/design/start.sh <domain> --root .` | Before starting design |
| Subagent | D | `tools/design/complete.sh <domain> --root .` | After design validated |

## Steps

### Step 1: Load Config
```bash
tools/prepare/info.sh --root .
```

### Step 2: Get Batch Info
```bash
tools/shared/find-next.sh --registry .smbatcher/REGISTRY.md --phase design --format json
```
Or use batch ID from user input.

Check domains in the batch:
```bash
tools/shared/list-sites.sh --batch <ID> --status "B,d"
```

### Step 2.1: Create Persistent Todos
For each domain, add a todo using `todowrite` with content `Design: <domain>`, status `pending`, and priority `high`.

### Step 3: Verify Directories
```bash
tools/design/check-dirs.sh --batch-id <ID> --root .
```
If directories are missing, stop and instruct the user to run prepare phase.

### Step 4: Get Uniqueness Signals
```bash
tools/design/frequency.sh --root .
```
```bash
tools/design/list-designed.sh --root .
```
```bash
tools/design/analyze-seeds.sh --batch-id <ID>
```
Read `.smbatcher/batches/Batch_<ID>.md` to see planned seeds assigned to each domain and pass them to subagents.

### Step 5: Launch Design-Worker Subagents
For each domain in the batch, launch one subagent.

Task tool parameters:
```text
subagent_type: "design-worker-oco"
prompt: |
  Read .opencode/agents/design-worker-oco.md for your system instructions.

  Your assignment:
  - Domain: example.com
  - Site directory: sites/example.com-v1
  - Planned Seed: <assigned-seed-from-batch-file>

  You are at the repository root. Do NOT change directory. Use `sites/<domain-vX>/...` paths.

  Do NOT design any other site. Start immediately.
```

Include all Task calls in one message, up to N=10 max and default N=4. If batch has more than N sites, launch in waves.

### Step 6: Verify Designs
```bash
tools/design/check-design.sh --batch-id <ID> --verbose
```
```bash
tools/design/verify-post-design.sh --batch-id <ID>
```

### Step 7: Compare Uniqueness Optional
```bash
tools/shared/similarity.sh sites/*/DESIGN.md
```
If similarity is greater than 0.5 between any pair, flag for review.

## Recovery After Context Compaction
1. Check the todo list to see all domain tasks and statuses.
2. Identify todos still `pending` or `in_progress`.
3. For `in_progress` todos, check status with `tools/shared/list-sites.sh --batch <ID> --status "B,d,D"`.
4. Re-launch subagents only for domains that are not in status D.
5. Mark already-completed domains' todos as `completed`.
