DAIC Mode Guidance FAQs

Question 1

How do I transition between DAIC modes using this skill?

Accepted Answer

The skill provides specific trigger phrases and API commands for transitions. For example, it will suggest phrases like 'go ahead' or 'implement' to move to IMPLEMENT mode, or API commands like `sessions state mode DISCUSS` to return to the planning stage.

Question 2

What is the DAIC Mode Guidance skill for Claude Code?

Accepted Answer

DAIC Mode Guidance is an analysis-only skill designed to help developers navigate the Discuss-Align-Implement-Check (DAIC) workflow. It explains the purpose of each mode, clarifies why certain tools are restricted, and provides instructions on how to transition between workflow states safely.

Question 3

When should I use the DAIC Mode Guidance skill?

Accepted Answer

You should use this skill if you encounter 'permission denied' errors when trying to edit files, if you are confused about which development phase you are currently in, or if you want to learn the most efficient way to move from a design plan to code execution.

Question 4

Why does Claude Code block file edits in certain modes?

Accepted Answer

Claude Code uses 'write-gating' in DISCUSS, ALIGN, and CHECK modes to ensure code modifications are intentional. This prevents accidental changes while you are still gathering requirements or reviewing code. The DAIC Mode Guidance skill explains these safety guardrails and helps you transition to IMPLEMENT mode when you're ready to write.

Question 5

Can this skill accidentally modify my source code?

Accepted Answer

No. This is an ANALYSIS-ONLY skill. It is strictly limited to providing information, explaining rationale, and suggesting commands. It never calls write tools (like Edit or MultiEdit) and cannot modify your files directly, making it completely safe to use in any environment.
