doc-bdd-autopilot
Generate BDD scenarios end-to-end from EARS, a prompt, or an IPLAN - detect input, generate Gherkin scenarios, validate, and run the audit/fix cycle. Use to create or batch-create BDD suites.
What this skill does
# doc-bdd-autopilot
## Purpose
Automated **BDD generation pipeline**. From upstream EARS (`docs/03_EARS/`), a
user prompt, or an implementation plan (`IPLAN-*`), it analyzes the source,
generates a complete BDD suite of Given-When-Then scenarios, validates
readiness, maintains `BDD-00_index.md`, and drives the audit↔fix cycle to a
passing ADR-Ready score — for one BDD or a batch.
**Layer**: 4. **Upstream**: EARS (with BRD/PRD trace) / prompt / IPLAN input.
**Downstream**: a validated BDD + index entry.
## Skill Dependencies
| Skill | Role |
|-------|------|
| `../doc-bdd/SKILL.md` | BDD structure, Gherkin syntax, and authoring rules (generation) |
| `../doc-bdd-audit/SKILL.md` | quality gate (ADR-Ready scoring + findings) |
| `../doc-bdd-fixer/SKILL.md` | applies fixes from the audit report |
| `../doc-naming/SKILL.md` | element-ID standards |
## Input Contract
Accepts: a target BDD id/path; an upstream EARS id/path; a free-text prompt; or
an IPLAN path. Optional: score threshold (default 90), max fix iterations
(default 3), batch list. With no explicit input, treat the request as a prompt.
## Smart Document Detection
For each target, check whether the BDD already exists (nested folder
`docs/04_BDD/BDD-NN_{slug}/`):
- **Missing** → *generate* mode (from EARS / prompt / IPLAN).
- **Exists** → *review & fix* mode (audit, then fix if below threshold).
Determine `deliverable_type` (`code`/`document`/`ux`/`risk`/`process`) from the
inherited PRD/BRD chain. Verify the upstream EARS exists before generating.
## Workflow
1. **Input analysis** — classify the input (EARS / prompt / IPLAN), locate the
upstream EARS and its BRD/PRD trace elements, and decide generate vs
review-and-fix.
2. **Type & scope** — confirm the referenced EARS (and its PRD/BRD elements)
exist; map EARS statements to scenario categories; reserve the next `BDD-NN`.
3. **Generation** — produce the BDD per `../doc-bdd/SKILL.md`: Document Control
first, all 5 sections, scenarios across the five categories with executable
Given-When-Then steps, cumulative tags `@brd @prd @ears` (Gherkin-native),
`@scenario-id` IDs `BDD.NN.03.xxxx`, `@threshold:` references, and a
`spec_trace` per scenario. Sequence diagrams via `../charts-flow/SKILL.md`.
4. **Validation** — run `../doc-bdd-audit/SKILL.md` from scratch.
5. **Audit ↔ fix cycle** — while score < threshold and iterations < max: run
`../doc-bdd-fixer/SKILL.md`, then re-audit. On pass, update
`docs/04_BDD/BDD-00_index.md`; on exhausting iterations, flag for manual
review.
## Execution Modes
- **Single** — one BDD (generate or review-and-fix).
- **Batch** — multiple BDDs, processed in **chunks of 3** to bound context;
generate in upstream EARS order.
- **Dry-run** — report the planned actions (scenarios, categories, IDs) without
writing files.
## Quality Gates
- Generation does not complete until the audit passes (ADR-Ready ≥ threshold, 0
Tier-1 errors) or the iteration cap is hit (then: manual-review flag).
- The BDD index is updated only after a BDD passes.
- Fresh audit every cycle — no cached scores.
## Error Handling
| Situation | Action |
|-----------|--------|
| Referenced upstream EARS/PRD/BRD missing | stop; report the missing dependency |
| Max iterations reached below threshold | write reports, flag for manual review, continue batch |
| Source input ambiguous | fall back to prompt mode; record assumptions in the BDD |
| Write/permission error | log, skip the item, continue the batch |
## Adaptation
Before applying defaults, read the project adaptation profile
(`.aidoc/profile.yaml`) and apply it in both the generation and the internal
audit/fix phases. Honor `section_toggles`, `active_layers`, `audit_threshold`
(raise-only — stricter only), and `glossary`. Ignore any unknown or
out-of-surface key; absent a profile, use framework defaults.

skill-development
IncludedComprehensive meta-skill for creating, managing, validating, auditing, and distributing Claude Code skills and slash commands (unified in v2.1.3+). Provides skill templates, creation workflows, validation patterns, audit checklists, naming conventions, YAML frontmatter guidance, progressive disclosure examples, and best practices lookup. Use when creating new skills, validating existing skills, auditing skill quality, understanding skill architecture, needing skill templates, learning about YAML frontmatter requirements, progressive disclosure patterns, tool restrictions (allowed-tools), skill composition, skill naming conventions, troubleshooting skill activation issues, creating custom slash commands, configuring command frontmatter, using command arguments ($ARGUMENTS, $1, $2), bash execution in commands, file references in commands, command namespacing, plugin commands, MCP slash commands, Skill tool configuration, or deciding between skills vs slash commands. Delegates to docs-management skill for official documentation.
reprompter
IncludedTransform messy prompts into well-structured, effective prompts — single or multi-agent. Use when: "reprompt", "reprompt this", "clean up this prompt", "structure my prompt", rough text needing XML tags and best practices, "reprompter teams", "repromptception", "run with quality", "smart run", "smart agents", multi-agent tasks, audits, parallel work, anything going to agent teams. Don't use when: simple Q&A, pure chat, immediate execution-only tasks. See "Don't Use When" section for details. Outputs: Structured XML/Markdown prompt, quality score (before/after), optional team brief + per-agent sub-prompts, agent team output files. Success criteria: Single mode quality score ≥ 7/10; Repromptception per-agent prompt quality score 8+/10; all required sections present, actionable and specific.
adaptive-compaction
IncludedAdaptive add-on policy and recovery layer that decides WHEN to compact, prune, snapshot, or fork -- replacing fixed-percent auto-compaction across Claude Code, Codex, and MCP-capable hosts. Trigger on auto-compact timing or damage: "when should I compact", "is it safe to compact now or start a fresh session", "auto-compact fires too early/mid-task", "switching to an unrelated task but the window still has space", "context rot", "answers get worse the longer the session runs", "the agent forgot the plan or my decisions after it summarized", "add a layer on top that manages context without changing the agent", raising autoCompactWindow to give the policy room, or installing/tuning a cross-tool compaction policy or PreCompact hook -- even when "compaction" is never said but the problem is context-window pressure or post-summarization memory loss. Do NOT use to summarize a conversation, build RAG, write a summarization prompt (decides WHEN not HOW), or answer max-context-length trivia.

Activates when users ask to create an agent, automate a repetitive workflow, create a custom skill, or need advanced agent creation. Triggers on phrases like create agent for, automate workflow, create skill for, every day I have to, daily I need to, turn process into agent, need to automate, create a cross-platform skill, validate this skill, export this skill, migrate this skill.
