Review a project's current linked-intent-development (LID) usage against LID's own principles and produce a prioritized report of recommendations for getting more out of the methodology. Invoke when the user runs /lid-coach, asks for a LID review, asks how they could use LID better, wants feedback on their LID setup, or asks what LID antipatterns might be present in their project. This is a principle-level advisory review, distinct from /update-lid (configuration reconciliation) and /arrow-maintenance (deterministic structural audit).
Guide for linked-intent development (LID). Consult for ALL code changes. Walks changes through a mode-aware six-phase workflow (HLD → LLD → EARS → intent-narrowing edge audit → tests-first → code) with mandatory stops between each phase. Bugs walk the arrow like any other change — no short-circuit. Enforces cascade discipline within arrow segments and pauses across segment boundaries.
Configure or reconcile a project for linked-intent development (LID). Dispatches on project state — fresh bootstrap, append directives to an existing agent-instructions file (AGENTS.md or CLAUDE.md), add missing mode marker, reconcile convention drift, or run mode transitions. Invoked as /update-lid. For fresh projects with no LID artifacts, users typically invoke /linked-intent-dev (the workflow skill) instead and the workflow's Phase 1 calls this skill's bootstrap branch.
Navigation and audit overlay for linked-intent development. Use when working with docs/arrows/ — orienting via index.yaml, auditing spec-to-code coherence, detecting reverse orphans and drift, splitting/merging/renaming/re-parenting segments. Dual-mode: ambient guidance when the overlay is present (catch-and-recommend), or explicit /arrow-maintenance command for a directed audit-and-update pass.
Bootstrap LID in an existing (brownfield) codebase. Deep-reads every file in the declared scope, offers lens-based clustering options, generates skeleton LLDs/HLD/EARS bottom-up, then creates arrow docs and prompts the user to flesh out the skeletons. Token-intensive by design. Use when asked to map a codebase, bootstrap arrows, reverse-engineer the design, or start LID on an existing project.
Audit coherence across an arrow of intent by running two parallel fresh Claude sessions — one reconstructs code from a single EARS, the other reconstructs the EARS from stripped code — then classifies the drift between them. Use when the user invokes /differential-audit, asks to audit EARS-to-code drift for a feature or segment, wants a differential round-trip on a specific spec, or reaches Phase 6 code-complete in linked-intent-dev with arrow-maintenance overlay present and a touched-EARS set to consider. Surfaces intent that the code encodes but the EARS doesn't state, and requirements the EARS states but the code under-pins. Requires docs/arrows/ overlay. Heavy per-EARS cost in subprocess spawns and Anthropic API spend; scope via the opening conversation before running.
