How does Springfield handle errors during development?

It uses an automated state machine that detects failures and 'kickbacks' the task to previous phases (like research or planning) for refinement before trying again.

Can Springfield build entire features autonomously?

Yes, it is specifically designed for complex, multi-step tasks where research and planning are required before implementation begins.

What are the different phases in the Springfield workflow?

The workflow includes Research (Lisa), Complexity Assessment (Quimby), Planning (Frink), Documentation (Martin), Implementation (Ralph), and Quality Validation (Comic Book Guy).

What is the Springfield skill for Claude Code?

Springfield is an orchestration framework that guides Claude through a structured development process, including research, planning, coding, and quality assurance.

Productivity & Workflow

Orchestrates end-to-end software development lifecycles through a multi-phase autonomous workflow including research, planning, and validation.

About

Springfield is a sophisticated orchestration layer for Claude Code that automates complex development tasks by breaking them into structured, character-driven phases. By simulating a professional development team—from research (Lisa) and planning (Frink) to implementation (Ralph) and QA (Comic Book Guy)—it provides a robust framework for handling multi-step features and bug fixes. The skill features a built-in state machine for automatic error recovery, iterative refinement, and strict quality validation, making it ideal for developers who want to move from high-level requirements to verified, documented code with minimal manual intervention.
