description: Design a new app or service from scratch — guided elicitation, architecture proposals, stack choice, API contract, ADRs — then build it through the full pipeline
argument-hint: <the idea — e.g. "a booking system for small clinics">

Invoke the **hydraia** skill forcing the Phase -1 route to **greenfield**. Run the greenfield-architect skill: elicit requirements one question at a time (problem, honest scale, team/constraints, non-functionals, integrations), dispatch the architect + code-architect agents for 2-3 architecture shapes with a recommendation (microservices only with evidence — monolith is the default), confirm the stack with rationale, design the API contract via the api-design skill when an API exists, and record every load-bearing decision as an ADR under docs/hydraia/adr/ (or the resolved artifacts base — the external dir when chosen at the storage gate). Then continue the FULL pipeline (Phases 0-6): spec referencing the ADRs, plan, execution with the matching stack-pattern skill, double review, verify.

To stop at the frozen plan instead of building, use /hydraia:plan with the same idea after the architecture dialogue.

Ships withhydraia

An agentic development harness for Claude Code. **One command runs the entire feature pipeline** — it collaborates with you on the design, then builds autonomously: plan, execute, double-review, and verify.
