Aide

Category: Content · Sub-category: content-misc · Last updated: 2026-05-22

AIDE pipeline orchestrator — entry point for the conversational spec → research → synthesize → plan → build → QA → fix flow. Drives each phase by delegating to specialized subagents (aide-spec-writer, aide-architect, aide-implementor, aide-qa, etc.). Invoked when the user types /aide, asks to start an AIDE feature pipeline, asks to resume an in-flight pipeline, or asks to align/refactor specs across the intent tree. **MANDATORY**: this skill begins with a non-skippable boot sequence — call `aide_info`, gate on brain status, read 6 methodology docs in parallel, run `aide_discover`, read `.aide/session.aide` if it exists. You MUST execute boot before reading or acting on the user's request, even when you think you have enough context. Skipping boot means orchestrating a methodology you don't know — you will guess at file formats, agent routing, and pipeline state, and produce drift.

Conversational entry point for the full AIDE pipeline. Gathers context from the user, then drives each phase by delegating to specialized agents — spinning up fresh context for every stage and handing off via files.
