Build Skill
Full software development lifecycle pipeline. Orchestrates BRD creation, story specification, architecture design, state initialization, and autonomous build execution across sequential phases (Phase 0 through Phase 10).
Progressive loading
This skill is an orchestrator index. Load only the section file for the step you are on.

Route
- Always start with Step 0 (
references/section-02-step-0-resolve-invocation.md) — resolve flags via build-lane.js.
- Apply Approval model for gated / autonomous / auto / lite.
- Execute Pipeline Phases in order (0–11), loading detail from that section file.
- Existing lane detail:
references/lite-lane.md, references/autonomous-lane.md.
Load-bearing names (always visible)
Headless modes use plan-confidence.js (and --gate), build-lane.js, budget-state.js, build-chain.js, /auto, /gate, /pr-respond. Full procedure is in the section files. Wiring tests scan entry + references/*.md as one corpus.
Iron law — --auto / --autonomous (never stop after planning)
When the invocation includes --auto (or --autonomous after its single plan gate is satisfied, or is headless with no human):
- Completing BRD / stories / design / test plan is not done. That is only Phases 1–3.
- Immediately continue into Phase 4 (state init) and invoke
/auto (with --mode if set) so production code and the project test suite exist.
- Do not end the session with only
specs/ written. A successful --auto leaves a green app (or a machine-gate failure with code attempted) — never “plan only” unless --plan-only was passed.
- Read
references/autonomous-lane.md and references/section-04-pipeline-phases.md for the tail (Phases 4–11).
