🧠 Pattern Analysis
Success Pattern Recognition
## Success Pattern: Early Security Review
**Pattern ID:** pat-success-001
**Confidence:** 92% (based on 45 observations)
### Pattern Description
Tasks involving security-sensitive features succeed at higher rates
when /security-auditor is included in the review phase before
implementation begins.
### Evidence
| Context | With Pattern | Without Pattern |
|---------|--------------|-----------------|
| Auth features | 95% success | 72% success |
| API design | 91% success | 78% success |
| Data handling | 94% success | 68% success |
### Trigger Conditions
- Task involves: authentication, authorization, data privacy
- Keywords: auth, security, token, password, PII
### Recommended Action
Automatically include /security-auditor in workflow when
trigger conditions are detected.
### Application Count: 45
### Last Applied: 2025-11-29
Failure Pattern Recognition
## Failure Pattern: Missing Dependency Check
**Pattern ID:** pat-failure-001
**Confidence:** 87% (based on 23 observations)
### Pattern Description
Tasks fail more frequently when dependency compatibility is not
verified before implementation begins.
### Evidence
| Failure Scenario | Frequency | Root Cause |
|------------------|-----------|------------|
| Version conflict | 12 times | No pre-check |
| Breaking change | 8 times | Outdated deps |
| Missing package | 3 times | Incomplete check |
### Warning Signs
- Task type: Implementation
- Involves: package updates, new integrations
- No dependency check in workflow
### Recommended Action
Add /dependency-manager check step before implementation
for tasks involving package changes.
### Prevention Success Rate: 85%
