Summary

Updates the cognitive-squad community catalog entry (originally merged in #1870) to reflect the current version of the extension.

What Changed

The description is now version-independent — it describes capabilities, not counts, so it won't need updating with each release:

Multi-agent cognitive system with Triadic Model: understanding, internalization, application — with quality gates, backpropagation verification, and self-healing

Catalog Entry Changes

Field Before After
Description Count-based ("19-function...") Capability-based (Triadic Model)
Commands 7 10
Tags pre-code, analysis full-lifecycle, verification

About Cognitive Squad

A spec-kit extension that orchestrates specialized cognitive agents across the full development lifecycle:

  • Phase 1: Understanding — DISCOVER, WHY, WHAT, ASSESS, HOW, PLAN + specialists
  • Phase 2: Internalization — agents prove comprehension before working
  • Phase 3: Application — build with per-task quality gates + backpropagation verification
  • Learning loop — CALIBRATE, REFLECT, EVOLVE, FEEDBACK for self-improvement

Aligned with ISO 12207, ISO 25010:2023, SWEBOK v4.0, CMMI v3.0, V-Model, ATAM.

The extension now covers the complete development lifecycle — not just pre-code analysis. I added a full building phase with role-based agents (IMPLEMENTER, SPEC GUARD, CODE REVIEWER, TEST GUARDIAN), an Engineering Manager for build orchestration, and a VERIFICATION agent that performs backpropagation checks to ensure 100% spec-to-code coverage.
