# Buildsystem — Orchestrated Development Wave
This skill automates one complete development wave: backlog prioritization, parallel Haiku agent dispatch, code review, merge train, and state checkpoint. It reads your `CLAUDE.md` rules and project backlog, then orchestrates a fleet of small, focused agents to deliver working features or fixes.
**Core principle**: A wave is a bounded unit of work (2–4 hours) that delivers measurable progress. The orchestrator dispatches independent Haiku agents to parallel worktrees, each agent works in isolation, all agents converge on a merge train, and the wave closes with a checkpoint and audit.

## Quick Start
### Prerequisites
Before running `/buildsystem`, ensure:
1. **Repository is primed** — Run `/power` first to load your CLAUDE.md layer and confirm orchestrator brain health
2. **Backlog exists** — Create a ranked backlog in `state/BACKLOG.md` or document your work items in the active `STATE.md`
3. **Aesop is initialized** — Config file (`aesop.config.json`), watchdog running, state directory populated
### One Command
```bash
/buildsystem
```
The orchestrator reads your backlog, dispatches agents, monitors progress, and delivers a closed wave with merged PRs.

## Wave Phases
### Phase 0: Preflight (1–2 min)
The orchestrator validates setup:
- Confirms CLAUDE.md is loaded and rules are understood
- Checks watchdog heartbeat (healthy daemon)
- Validates backlog format and work-item sizing
- Confirms all repos in config
