Our review

Bootstraps a new feature ticket by setting the active context, generating an internal slug, and preparing PRD questions for the idea stage.

Strengths

  • Automates slug generation and active context setup.
  • Integrates a validation step (analyst_check) for PRD readiness.
  • Provides clear, repeatable command contracts.
  • Reduces friction when starting a new feature idea.

Limitations

  • Requires a Claude Code environment with specific plugins installed.
  • Only works if the ticket and PRD artifacts are readable.
  • Runs in non-interactive mode (disable-model-invocation), limiting real-time user guidance.
When to use it

Use this skill when you need to kick off a new feature ticket and lay the groundwork for subsequent analysis and research.

When not to use it

Avoid using it if the ticket does not exist yet or if you are not following the feature-dev-aidd workflow.

Security analysis

Safe
Quality score90/100

The skill uses only read, edit, write, glob, and restricted bash (rg, sed) tools, plus specific Python scripts from the plugin. No destructive, exfiltrating, or obfuscated actions. It delegates to a subagent but does not execute arbitrary commands.

Follow feature-dev-aidd:aidd-core.

Steps

  1. Inputs: resolve <ticket>, parse idea_note from user text, and verify PRD/context artifacts are readable for idea stage.
  2. Slug synthesis: generate a short LLM summary from idea_note, normalize it into kebab-case token ([a-z0-9-], 2-6 words), and use it as internal slug_hint; if idea_note is empty, fallback to <ticket> token. Do not ask user for slug_hint.
  3. Preflight: set active stage idea and active feature with python3 ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/aidd-flow-state/runtime/set_active_stage.py and python3 ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/aidd-flow-state/runtime/set_active_feature.py <ticket> --slug-note "<generated-slug>".
  4. Orchestration: build/update the rolling context pack aidd/reports/context/<ticket>.pack.md and run python3 ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/idea-new/runtime/analyst_check.py --ticket <ticket>.
  5. Run subagent feature-dev-aidd:analyst. First action: read the rolling context pack.
  6. Postflight: if answers already exist, rerun python3 ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/idea-new/runtime/analyst_check.py --ticket <ticket> and sync PRD readiness status.
  7. Output: return open questions (if any) and explicit next step /feature-dev-aidd:researcher <ticket>.

Command contracts

python3 ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/aidd-flow-state/runtime/set_active_feature.py

  • When to run: once ticket and idea note are parsed, before analyst execution.
  • Inputs: <ticket> and generated --slug-note <slug_hint> derived from idea_note.
  • Outputs: updated aidd/docs/.active.json (ticket + internal slug_hint) and PRD scaffold.
  • Failure mode: non-zero exit when workspace paths/permissions are invalid.
  • Next action: fix workspace issue, keep the same generated slug policy, rerun the command.

python3 ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/idea-new/runtime/analyst_check.py

  • When to run: before/after analyst execution to validate PRD readiness and Q/A synchronization.
  • Inputs: --ticket <ticket> and active workspace artifacts.
  • Outputs: deterministic readiness status for idea-stage gate decisions.
  • Failure mode: non-zero exit when required PRD fields or answer alignment are missing.
  • Next action: update PRD/QA artifacts, then rerun the same validator.

Notes

  • Use the aidd-core question format.
  • Planning stage: AIDD:ACTIONS_LOG: n/a.

Additional resources

  • PRD template source: templates/prd.template.md (when: defining or validating required PRD structure; why: keep analyst output aligned with canonical sections).
