Notes

Observations and Learnings

1. Token Estimation Accuracy: Estimates improved over time (Phase 1: +45% variance → Phase 5: +11% variance) as agents learned codebase patterns

2. TDD Overhead: Test-Driven Development added ~20-30% to token usage but prevented defects - worthwhile tradeoff

3. Parallel Execution: 2-agent limit worked well - no merge conflicts, minimal coordination overhead

4. Agent Specialization: Using Opus for complex integration (#176) and Sonnet for standard features was effective

5. Quality Gates: Pre-commit hooks caught issues early - all commits passed on first try after agents learned patterns

6. Issue Closure: Detailed completion comments provide audit trail for future reference

Recommendations for Future Milestones

1. Increase token estimates by 30% baseline
2. Add 20% TDD buffer to estimates
3. Earlier phases need more buffer (exploratory learning)
4. Later phases more predictable (established patterns)
5. Complex integration tasks (like #176) should use Opus model
