orch-add-feature

Coordinate a new feature from research and planning through tests, implementation, review, and commit. Assign phases to matching ECC agents, write failing tests before implementation, and pause for approval of the plan and before committing.

OriginalShow the original 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.

AI rating90/ 100See how to install

Good for

  • Adding a capability that does not exist yet
  • Implementing a feature with tests written first
  • Reviewing an authentication feature for security
  • Approving a plan and changes before commit

Overview

What it does

orch-add-feature coordinates the work needed to add a capability that does not yet exist: research, planning, implementation, review, and commit. It assigns each phase to the corresponding ECC agent and uses the shared orch-pipeline engine to assess the size of the work. Implementation follows test-driven development (TDD): first write a failing test for the new behavior, then write code that makes it pass.

When it helps

Use it when adding a new product capability, such as another login method. The workflow normally starts with research and planning, while small additions follow a shorter process. Features involving security, including authentication, receive an additional check from security-reviewer.

Example requests

  • “Use orch-add-feature to add OAuth2 login.”
  • “Research and plan this new feature, then write the tests before implementing it.”

Notes

The workflow depends on orch-pipeline and the ECC agents assigned to its phases. It pauses for plan approval and again for confirmation before committing. Fixing defects or changing existing behavior belongs to separate skills.

This overview was written by AI (OpenAI Codex) from the public SKILL.md. Check the original below for the exact behavior.

Objective evaluation

AI rated this skill on four points using only the contents of its SKILL.md. Stars and popularity are not taken into account.

Clear instructionsIs it clear when to use it and what it does?
AGoodIt explicitly targets new capabilities and lists the phases from research through commit.
Concrete stepsAre steps, inputs, outputs, and examples spelled out?
AGoodIt specifies phase order, failing tests first, approval gates, and an OAuth2 implementation example.
SafetyAre sending data, deleting files, and running commands disclosed?
AGoodIt stops for plan approval and pre-commit confirmation, with an additional security review for authentication.
Easy setupDoes it need few tools or API keys, and are they documented?
BPartly lackingIt depends on orch-pipeline and ECC agents but provides no installation instructions.

The total counts each point as A = 25, B = 15, C = 5. Rated by AI (OpenAI Codex) as of Oct 19, 2026. Treat it as a guide and read the original before installing.

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

  1. Run the orch-pipeline engine with the settings above.
  2. Classify size first; small / trivial features collapse toward 4 → 5 → 6.
  3. Stop at Gate 1 (plan approval) and Gate 2 (pre-commit).
  4. 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]
