How it fires

How this skill gets triggered: by you, by Claude, or both.

  • Fires itselfAuto-invocation. Claude auto-loads it when your prompt matches the work.Auto-invocation is when the right skill fires by itself at the right moment, driven by a FLOW.md router and a hook, instead of you invoking it by name. It is the difference between a skill being installed and a skill actually getting used.Read the full definition →

Wizard Shared Rules

Shared rules referenced by `/nw-new`, `/nw-continue`, and `/nw-fast-forward` wizards.

Feature ID Derivation

Derive a kebab-case feature ID from the feature description:

1. Strip common prefixes: "implement", "add", "create", "build" 2. Remove English stop words: "a", "the", "to", "for", "with", "and", "in", "on", "of" 3. Convert to kebab-case (lowercase, hyphens between words) 4. Limit to 5 hyphenated segments maximum

**Examples:**

  • "Add rate limiting to the API gateway" → `rate-limiting-api-gateway`
  • "OAuth2 upgrade" → `oauth2-upgrade`
  • "Implement a real-time notification system with WebSocket support for mobile and desktop clients" → `real-time-notification-system-websocket`

Wave Detection Rules

Check SSOT first, then feature delta:

| Wave | Complete When | In Progress When | |------|--------------|-----------------| | DISCOVER | `docs/product/jobs.yaml` has a validated job for this feature | `docs/feature/{id}/discover/` exists but no validated job in SSOT | | DISCUSS | `docs/feature/{id}/discuss/user-stories.md` exists and is non-empty | `docs/feature/{id}/discuss/` exists but user-stories.md missing or empty | | DESIGN | `docs/product/architecture/brief.md` has a section for this feature | `docs/feature/{id}/design/` exists but brief.md not updated | | DEVOPS | `docs/product/kpi-contracts.yaml` has contracts for this feature | `docs/feature/{id}/devops/` exists but no KPI contracts in SSOT | | DISTILL | `tests/acceptance/{id}/` has feature files | `docs/feature/{id}/distill/` exists but test files incomplete | | DELIVER | `docs/feature/{id}/deliver/execution-log.json` with all roadmap steps at COMMIT/PASS | `docs/feature/{id}/deliver/execution-log.json` exists with some steps incomplete |

"Not started" = neither SSOT entry nor feature delta directory exist for that wave.
