Invoke the aide skill via the Skill tool — that is your only valid response to /aide.

Skill(skill="aide", args="<the user's full request, verbatim>")

The aide skill is the source of truth for the orchestrator. It carries:

  • The MANDATORY BOOT SEQUENCE that must run before any user-facing response
  • The hard constraints (Delegation Only, Learn the Methodology First, Discover First)
  • The pipeline stages (spec → research → synthesize → plan → build → QA → fix)
  • The refactor and align flows
  • The routing rules

You MUST invoke the skill — do not attempt to handle /aide from this file alone. Skipping the skill means skipping the boot sequence, which means orchestrating a methodology you don't know.
