Invoke the aide skill via the Skill tool — that is your only valid response to /aide.
Command Claude Code
Invoke the aide skill via the Skill tool — that is your only valid response to /aide.
Command Claude Code
Verify spec-vs-spec alignment and brevity across the intent tree. This is NOT QA — QA checks code against a spec; alignment checks whether specs are consistent with their ancestors and internally tight against the Brevity Contract. The aligner runs three passes per walk.
Command Claude Code
General-purpose interface to the project's brain, plus a config mode for wiring the brain on first install (or repointing it at a different location).
Command Claude Code
Execute the architect's implementation plan. This is the implementor phase in build mode — the session that turns plan.aide into working, tested code without making architectural decisions mid-session.
Command Claude Code
Work one unchecked item from the todo.aide checklist. This is the implementor phase in fix mode — the same agent that runs /aide:build, invoked with a narrower scope and a stricter one-session-per-item protocol. See todo.aide spec for the file format.
Command Claude Code
Invoke the aide-handoff skill via the Skill tool — that is your only valid response to /aide:handoff.
Command Claude Code
Translate the intent spec into a step-by-step implementation plan. Output: plan.aide (the build recipe). The spec may be in one of two shapes: Shape A (synthesize ran — body sections filled, sibling brief.aide exists) or Shape B (synthesize skipped — frontmatter only, no brief.aide; the orchestrator's delegation…
Command Claude Code
Verify actual output against the intent spec. This is the QA agent phase — the session that compares the spec's outcomes block against actual implementation and produces a todo.aide re-alignment document. See todo.aide spec for the file format.
Command Claude Code
Refactor existing artifacts to close drift from canonical contracts. The two modes target different artifact classes and use different agents.
Command Claude Code
Fill the brain with durable domain knowledge the synthesizer can later draw from. Run this phase only when the module requires domain expertise the team does not already have — skip it when the domain is already understood.
Command Claude Code
Produce the .aide intent spec frontmatter only. This is the spec-writing phase — the session that distills the orchestrator's delegation context into a falsifiable intent contract. The orchestrator owns the user conversation and passes the gathered context in the delegation prompt. Body sections (Context, Strategy…
Command Claude Code
Read the intent spec's frontmatter and the brain's research, then fill in the .aide body sections (Context, Strategy, Good examples, Bad examples, References) AND author the sibling brief.aide. This is a fresh strategist session — it did not run the research phase and carries no prior context.
Command Claude Code
Call aidebrain once. Following the brain access instructions it returns, read coding-playbook/update-playbook.md and follow the playbook-maintenance methodology it describes.
Command Claude Code
Bring this project's AIDE methodology artifacts up to date with canonical by calling aideupgrade and walking the user through each drifted category interactively.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Record current pipeline state to .aide/session.aide — the project-wide pipeline-position log that lets the next session (yours or another agent's) resume from a known point. CREATE on first invocation per feature; UPDATE on every subsequent meaningful transition. This skill is the orchestration layer: it detects…
Skill Claude CodeCodex
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…
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Signpost to the brain — an external, team-shareable knowledge store that holds context too durable for the repo and too cross-project for any single codebase (domain research, coding playbook, project history, journal, environment, identity, references). When the current task needs knowledge that isn't in the working…
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Load relevant coding-playbook sections from the project's brain for the current task. Use this skill whenever you need to look up coding conventions, patterns, or architecture decisions before writing or reviewing code. Do NOT trigger for non-coding brain content.
Instructions file
Instructions for aidemd-mcp/server, covering aide — autonomous intent-driven engineering, publishing, fixes go in canonical docs, not memory, local .mcp.json for the aide server and don't run the pipeline on the agent harness.
MCP server Claude CodeCodexCursor +2
MCP server that teaches any AI agent the AIDE methodology via progressive disclosure. Runs locally from the @aidemd-mcp/server npm package.
