Based on SOC occupation classification
Quick mode for small tasks — single-stage intent with auto-advance
Start a new H·AI·K·U intent — describe what you want to accomplish and the system creates a structured lifecycle for it
Full autonomous workflow — elaborate, plan, build, review, and deliver in one command
Open the SPA review pane for an intent so the user can browse units, feedback, stage artifacts, and outputs. Non-blocking on the workflow — leaves feedback that the engine picks up on the next tick. Use whenever the user wants to "see," "open," "show," or "look at" the current intent or a specific stage.
Reverse-engineer an existing feature into H·AI·K·U intent artifacts
Zero-ceremony single-unit execution — run one task directly through a stage's hat loop without intent or workflow scaffolding

Change the execution mode of an in-flight intent. Use when:
discrete is too heavy for a small change, or continuous is too autonomous for high-risk work).Resolve the intent. If no slug is in scope (current branch isn't a haiku/<slug>/... branch), ask which intent to change. Otherwise infer from the branch.
Call haiku_select_mode with the intent slug. The tool elicits a mode value from the user. It will automatically:
quick from the picker if the intent has already started a stage (you cannot enter or leave quick mid-flight — it's single-stage by definition).quick and has started (no transition out is allowed).mode to intent.md and set stages to the studio's full stage list (idempotent — restoring the full list is safe even if it was already there).Drive forward. After the mode is picked, call haiku_run_next { intent: "<slug>" }. The workflow engine continues from wherever the intent currently is — mode changes don't reset stage progress.
quick transitions mid-flight. Quick mode is single-stage and chosen at intent creation only. Switching into quick would amputate the rest of the workflow; switching out would suddenly add stages the user never reviewed. The engine refuses both.studio isn't set yet, the intent hasn't reached mode selection — use /haiku:haiku-start to drive the initial elicitation chain instead of this skill.haiku_select_mode's elicitation.discrete-hybrid is a derived mode, not directly selectable. The engine computes it from continuous + per-stage external gates.
