Orch Add Feature

This orchestrates the full workflow for adding a brand new feature: research, planning, TDD implementation, code review, and gated commit. It's part of the ECC orchestration family and shares a pipeline engine with sibling skills like orch-fix-defect and orch-change-feature. The skill automatically right-sizes the process based on complexity. Trivial features skip straight to writing tests and implementation, while standard features get the full research and planning phases upfront. You get two approval gates: one after planning and one before commit. If your feature touches authentication, payments, or other security boundaries, it pulls in a security reviewer automatically. Think of it as the "add" verb in a larger orchestration grammar.

Files

orch-add-feature

Actor · action · target: orch · add · feature. Thin wrapper over the shared engine in orch-pipeline.

When to Use

The user wants a capability that does not exist yet ("add", "build", "implement", "support …").
It is net-new behavior — not a correction (orch-fix-defect) and not an alteration of existing behavior (orch-change-feature).

Operation settings

Default size floor: standard — run Research + Plan unless clearly small.
Phase mask: 0 → 1 → 2 → 4 → 5 → 6 (skip 3 Scaffold; that is MVP-only).
First move (phase 4): write new failing tests for the new behavior, then implement to green.
