magician vs. guild

Comprehensive software development lifecycle plugin that takes task from the idea to merged PR autonomously. Core capabilities: 1. Dynamic Project Inspector On every session start, it scans your project files (package.json, go.mod, Cargo.toml, pom.xml, etc.) and auto-assembles targeted knowledge ("lore") for every detected technology — no manual stack selection needed. Polyglot stacks get full coverage automatically. 2. Full Autonomous SDLC (/manifest) One command drives the entire flow with only 4 human approval gates: * /conjure — design dialogue (with an ability to strictly use design) → approved spec * /blueprint — implementation plan with parallelism map * /portal — git worktree isolation * /orchestrate + /ward — parallel agents with TDD * /certify — tests + types + linter + browser verification * /scrutinize → /absorb — multi-agent code review + integration * /seal — PR creation, loops until merged 3. Self-Learning A Stop hook (chronicle-stop.sh) captures git diffs at session end, writes entries to a ch

Guild turns Claude Code into a self-evolving team of specialist agents for larger software tasks. It plans before execution, selects the right specialists, assembles focused context, preserves durable project memory, and improves its skills over time through evidence-based reflection. Instead of treating every request as a single long prompt, Guild breaks work into a governed workflow: clarify the goal, compose the right agent team, execute with scoped context, review the results, capture decisions, and only evolve specialists or skills when repeated evidence shows they are useful. When native agent teams are available, Guild coordinates them directly; when they are not, it falls back to sub-agents with the same planning and memory discipline. Guild is designed for projects where context, quality, and continuity matter: feature work, refactors, documentation, QA, release preparation, research-heavy implementation, and recurring workflows that benefit from reusable specialist knowledge.
