aa-help
Read-only. Answer directly from this file — never dispatch a subagent and never read a playbook for this command.
The funnel
Every project moves through the same funnel, front door to first demo:
rough idea → grill → intake → plan → panel → prereqs → waves → demo
Commands
| Command | Purpose |
|---|
/aa-grill | Idea interrogation → IDEA.md (can reject the idea) |
/aa-new-project | 8-question intake → OKRs → epics → Epic 1 stories |
/aa-import | Existing plan: audit → gaps → panel → proceed/reshape/kill |
/aa-panel | Run the critic panel on the current draft plan |
/aa-plan-epic | Slice next epic: contracts scope + story cards + waves |
/aa-execute-epic | Wave 0 → collision check → Wave 1 → Wave 2 |
/aa-review | Present DEMO.md → approve/redo/replan |
/aa-autopilot | Chain all epics; --gate full-auto|checkpoint |
/aa-resume | Read STATE.md, pick up the baton |
/aa-status | Where are we; roadmap + KR progress |
/aa-help | Command guide + methodology crash course |
The methodology, in five lines
- Work breaks down OKR → Initiative → Epic → Story and stops there — no level below a story, no story points, no burndown.
- Every epic's definition of done is one demo sentence: "I can do X and see Y" — if you can't write that sentence, the epic isn't scoped yet.
- A critic panel attacks the plan before execution, and a human shopping list (
PREREQS.md) blocks any run that needs a key, account, or service it doesn't have yet.
- Story cards are sized so a cheap-tier agent can finish one from just its card plus the frozen contracts — zero exploring, zero guessing intent.
- Every epic ends at a review gate with exactly three outcomes: approve, redo (feedback becomes new acceptance checks, never a vague note), or replan (back to slicing).
If the user names a specific command, point them at it and its one-line purpose from the table above. If they're unsure where to start, point them at the front door that matches what they're bringing: a vague spark → /aa-grill, a clear idea → /aa-new-project, an existing plan or spec → /aa-import.
