# R&D Scaling
## Overview
The R&D pipeline scales to task complexity. A typo fix doesn't need the full pipeline ceremony. A security-critical feature does.
**Core principle:** Always use the pipeline. Scale it, don't skip it.
## Scaling Tiers
### Trivial (fix typo, add log line)
**Entry:** `/rnd-framework:rnd-start`
**Process:**
1. Write a one-line pre-registration inline
2. Spawn a Builder agent for the change
3. Spawn a Verifier agent to check against criteria
4. Done
**Skip:** Planner, dependency scheduling, Integrator
**Keep:** Pre-registration, verification
### Small (<1 hour of work)
**Entry:** `/rnd-framework:rnd-start`
**Process:**
1. Write a brief pre-registration inline
2. Spawn a Builder agent with TDD (uses `rnd-framework:rnd-building`)
3. Spawn a Verifier agent for independent verification
4. Max 2 iterations
**Skip:** Planner subagent, dependency scheduling, Integrator
**Keep:** Pre-registration, TDD, independent verification
### Medium (multiple components, 1-4 hours)
**Entry:** `/rnd-framework:rnd-start`
**Process:**
1. Spawn `rnd-framework:rnd-planner` for hierarchical decomposition
2. Schedule waves with dependency analysis
3. Spawn Builder(s) per wave
4. Independent verification per task
5. Integration testing per wave
**Full pipeline.** All agents, all gates.
### Large (multi-day, many components)
**Entry:** `/rnd-framework:rnd-start`
**Process:**
1. Full pipeline + design review gate between Plan and Schedule
2. Sub-waves within large waves
