aid-define

Frontmatter

name — aid-define
description — Decompose approved requirements into discrete feature folders, each with its own SPEC.md stub. Use this skill once /aid-describe has produced an approved REQUIREMENTS.md and the work needs splitting into features before any one of them is specified. It turns each functional requirement into a feature, then validates the requirements and the feature boundaries against the Knowledge Base and the codebase, and halts ready for /aid-specify.
allowed-tools — Read, Glob, Grep, Bash, Write, Edit
argument-hint — [work-001] decompose approved requirements [—features work-001] re-run feature decomposition
