How does the skill handle failures at a gate?

If a gate check fails, the pipeline stops immediately and generates a report detailing what is missing or failed, allowing you to fix issues before proceeding.

What is the difference between Interactive and Auto mode?

Interactive mode pauses at every gate (G1, G2, G3) for user approval, while Auto mode proceeds automatically through the stages unless a gate check fails.

Does this skill perform the actual coding itself?

This skill acts as an orchestrator; it coordinates and triggers other specialized skills like /implement and /plan to perform the actual development work.

Can I resume a pipeline if it gets interrupted?

Yes, the skill supports resume functionality. You can use the --from flag to restart from a specific stage, and the skill will verify previous artifacts and gates are intact.

What are the seven stages of the pipeline?

The pipeline follows a specific sequence: brainstorm, specify, plan, review-plan, implement, review-code, and learn.
