aid-define

Frontmatter

• name — aid-define
• description — Feature decomposition and cross-reference validation from approved requirements. Begins from an approved REQUIREMENTS.md (produced by /aid-describe) and decomposes functional requirements into discrete feature folders with SPEC.md stubs (FEATURE-DECOMPOSITION), then validates the requirements and feature boundaries against the KB and codebase (CROSS-REFERENCE), then halts at DONE ready for /aid-specify. State machine: (Approved REQUIREMENTS) -> FEATURE-DECOMPOSITION -> CROSS-REFERENCE -> DONE [HALT -> /aid-specify].
• allowed-tools — Read, Glob, Grep, Bash, Write, Edit
• argument-hint — [work-001] decompose approved requirements [—features work-001] re-run feature decomposition
