| description | Orchestrate building a brand-new feature end to end — research, plan, TDD implementation, review, and gated commit — by delegating each phase to the matching ECC agent. Use when adding a capability that does not exist yet. |

orch-add-feature
Actor · action · target: orch · add · feature. Thin wrapper over the shared
engine in orch-pipeline.
When to Use
- The user wants a capability that does not exist yet ("add", "build",
"implement", "support …").
- It is net-new behavior — not a correction (
orch-fix-defect) and not an
alteration of existing behavior (orch-change-feature).
Operation settings
- Default size floor: standard — run Research + Plan unless clearly small.
- Phase mask: 0 → 1 → 2 → 4 → 5 → 6 (skip 3 Scaffold; that is MVP-only).
- First move (phase 4): write new failing tests for the new behavior, then
implement to green.
How It Works
- Run the
orch-pipeline engine with the settings above.
- Classify size first; small / trivial features collapse toward 4 → 5 → 6.
- Stop at Gate 1 (plan approval) and Gate 2 (pre-commit).
- Add
security-reviewer if the feature touches a security trigger.
Related: /feature-dev is a standalone version of this flow. orch-add-feature
differs by sharing the orch-pipeline engine — the size classifier and the two
gates — with the rest of the family, so it right-sizes trivial features to 4 → 5 → 6.
Example
orch-add-feature: add OAuth2 login to nws-poller
→ research existing auth libs → plan task_list [GATE 1: approve]
→ TDD each task → code-review (+ security-reviewer: auth path)
→ commit [GATE 2: confirm]
