7 Composable Patterns

• hybrid - Research → Implement → Review
• tdd - Test-first development
• red-team - Adversarial build + break
• spike - Two approaches compete
• discover - Hypothesis-driven
• review-cycle - Iterative quality gate
• research - Parallel exploration

Compose: --pattern "tdd | red-team"
