Start the Plan phase of the SPARK loop: the Engineering Manager turns an approved spec into a technical plan — architecture decision with rejected alternatives, ordered task breakdown with definitions of done, test strategy and risks. Use after the spec is approved, or to revise

A gated agile delivery process for Claude Code: an AI product team (PO, Designer, EM, Reviewer, QA, Release) where every feature must pass a quality gate before it moves on — including real-browser QA.

- /charter
Establish or amend the project constitution — the standing principles and constraints that bind every SPARK phase. Use once at project start to give the team its ground rules, or any time a project-wide decision (stack choice, quality bar, non-negotiable) changes and should
Open skill - /demo-day
Hands-on QA in a real browser: the QA Tester clicks through the running app, verifies every acceptance criterion from the spec, explores beyond the happy path and files reproducible bugs. Use after /peer-review passes, or to re-test after fixes. Requires a running app and
Open skill - /go-live
Start the Keep phase of the SPARK loop: the Release Manager runs fresh pre-flight checks, writes the user-facing changelog, prepares tag/PR/ deploy, publishes on the user's explicit go, and records the cycle's learnings. Use when review and QA have both passed and the increment
Open skill - /increment
Start the Act phase of the SPARK loop: build the increment strictly following the approved plan, task by task, with progress tracked in the plan. Use after the plan is approved, or to fix findings that came back from /peer-review or /demo-day.
Open skill - /look-and-feel
Run the Designer over a spec (design risks, usability heuristics, accessibility) or over an implemented UI (screenshots, running app). Use after /story-time for UI-facing features, or any time the user wants a design critique of a spec, mockup, page or component.
Open skill - /next-steps
Have the Product Owner survey the project's current state — shipped features, in-flight work, open findings, standing goals — and propose one concrete next feature ready to hand to /story-time or /spark. Use when the user has no idea in hand and asks "what should we build next",
