  • My main business website, www.TalbotStevens.com (ts.com) is decades old, and not even responsive, and Windows-based, not Linux hosting.
  • I have created an Astro monorepo, to be used for all future websites, including this one. The monorepo is in NOT in a complete or stable state, with many incomplete issues. See below.

  • TS.com Objectives
    • Phase 1: replace current site functionality with monorepo equivalent, as practically as possible, autonomously
      • create new components, if needed
      • define how to move from Windows-hosting, with Canadian Web Hosting service, to Linux hosting with Cloudflare
    • Phase 2
      • integrate with other sites: mBR, SDC, Cancer50Pledge; to be defined later
  • Recommend if I should plan and implement this upgrade using my SMTM Project system, or /superpowers, for autonomous implementation.
    • D:\FSS\KB\Business\03_Processes\Simple Markdown Task Management\SMTM_System.md
  • After, do /ultrareview of monorepo, including related context above.

  • Reviewed monorepo structure, TS brand assets, and TS.com content inventory
  • Assessed SMTM vs /superpowers question
  • Addressed /ultrareview request

Recommendation: SMTM Project System (with /superpowers inside each session)

Section titled “Recommendation: SMTM Project System (with /superpowers inside each session)”

Short answer: use both — they solve different problems.

SMTM Project is the right backbone for TS.com. Here’s why:

FactorPoints to SMTM
Multi-phase workPhase 1 (rebuild) → Phase 2 (integration) spans weeks/months
Autonomous sessionsSTATUS.md + NEXT-STEPS.md let any future session pick up cold without you present
Monorepo not stableNeed to track what’s done, what’s blocked, what’s deferred as the monorepo evolves
Cloudflare migrationDNS cutover is a discrete milestone requiring a clear tracking state

Within each SMTM session, /superpowers drives execution:

  • /superpowers:brainstorming → site architecture decisions
  • /superpowers:writing-plans → phase implementation plans
  • /superpowers:dispatching-parallel-agents → parallel page/component builds

They are not alternatives. SMTM = cross-session tracking. /superpowers = within-session execution quality.


/ultrareview is user-triggered and billed — I cannot run it autonomously. It requires your explicit invocation in a Claude Code session. You must run /ultrareview yourself when back at your computer.

What I can do autonomously: thorough code review via subagents (caveman:cavecrew-reviewer), gap analysis of monorepo readiness for TS.com, component inventory. These are in-session, no extra billing.

What’s already in place:

  • src/brand/ts/ → TS brand assets, color tokens, favicons exist
  • Template site → full component library (nav, footer, cards, etc.)
  • Cloudflare Pages deployment → hosting path is defined
  • sites/ pattern → just needs sites/ts/ added

Gaps to assess before starting:

  1. Monorepo instability — monorepo-review.md task was incomplete; unknown what’s broken
  2. No sites/ts/ scaffold yet
  3. Canadian Web Hosting → Cloudflare DNS migration plan needed

  • Talbot: decide — start SMTM project for TS.com, or do the monorepo stabilization first?
    1. Start SMTM project as I must leave soon
  • Talbot: run /ultrareview yourself (user-triggered, billed) when back at computer
    1. CANCEL. I don’t want extra billing.
  • If proceeding: I run /project-start ts-site to create SMTM project structure, then brainstorm Phase 1 plan
    1. proceed
