FEAT — Small Feature, Fast Track

Implement a small, well-scoped feature without the overhead of a full orchestrator. Direct work, light planning, quick delivery.

REQUEST

$ARGUMENTS

STEP 0 — SCOPE CHECK

Before starting, verify this is actually a small feature:

git status
git log --oneline -3

Read the relevant existing code to understand the context.

Decision rules (apply in order — first match wins)

Rule	Trigger	Action
1	Estimated diff < 2 files AND no logic (config value, copy fix, missing field)	DOWNGRADE → load `$HOME/.claude/agents/hotfixer.md`
2	New external dependency (`npm install <x>`, `pip install`, `cargo add`) required	ESCALATE → `/ship-feature` (dep choices need design gate)
3	New route family / new top-level module / new DB migration	ESCALATE → `/ship-feature`
4	Estimated diff > 5 files	ESCALATE → `/ship-feature`
5	User wording is uncertain ("not sure how", "what do you think")	ESCALATE → `/ship-feature` (needs brainstorming)
6	UI feature on a stack with a design system AND `ui-ux-pro-max` inactive	Proceed in `/feat`, but flag it in STEP 0.5 design gate
7	Otherwise	PROCEED in `/feat`

Worked examples

"Add /health endpoint returning {status:"ok",version}" → 1-2 files, no new dep, route added to existing router → PROCEED.
"Add a dark-mode toggle bound to prefers-color-scheme" → 2-3 files, design system exists → PROCEED (design gate triggers in STEP 0.5).
"Add OAuth login (Google + GitHub providers)" → new deps, new routes, secrets handling → ESCALATE to /ship-feature.
"Show a 'New' badge on items created this week" → 1-2 files, pure UI predicate → PROCEED.
"Fix copy: 'Sign In' → 'Sign in'" in 1 file → DOWNGRADE to /hotfix.

Print a one-line scope confirmation (use the rule that fired):

FEAT: <feature name> — rule <N>, ~<N> files, <brief approach>

STEP 0.5 — DESIGN GATE

Follow $HOME/.claude/lib/design-gate.md:

Scan $ARGUMENTS and target files for design/UI/style signals.
If signals found and ui-ux-pro-max inactive → ask user to activate.
If no signals → skip (zero overhead).

STEP 1 — MINI-PLAN

Quick mental model, not a formal plan document:

List the files to create or modify (with line references).
Describe the approach in 2-5 bullet points.
Note any edge cases to handle.
If tests exist for the area, note which tests to add/update.

Print the plan as a compact checklist:

PLAN:
  [ ] <file> — <what to do>
  [ ] <file> — <what to do>
  [ ] <test file> — <test to add>

No gate — proceed directly unless the approach is ambiguous. If ambiguous: ask the user one focused question, then proceed.

STEP 2 — IMPLEMENT

Work through the plan:

Implement directly (no subagents).
Write tests alongside the code (not after).
Follow existing patterns in the codebase.
Run tests incrementally as you go.

STEP 3 — VERIFY

Run the full relevant test suite:

# detect and run tests, lint, type-check

If a dev server is relevant, mention what the user should check visually.
Quick self-review: scan your diff for obvious issues:
```
git diff --stat
git diff
```

STEP 4 — COMMIT

Commit using conventional format:

feat(<scope>): <what was added>

<brief description of the feature>

Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

If the feature touched multiple concerns (e.g., feature + config + test), consider splitting into 2-3 atomic commits — load $HOME/.claude/agents/commit-changer.md and follow its grouping logic.

Print summary:

FEAT COMPLETE
FEATURE  : <name>
FILE(S)  : <created/modified files>
TEST(S)  : <added tests>
VERIFIED : <what was checked>

STEP 5 — DOC SYNC (automatic)

Load $HOME/.claude/agents/doc-syncer.md. Execute in automatic mode: auto-mode scope: <list of files modified during this session>

STEP 6 — CAPITALIZE (memory registries)

A small feature may or may not involve a design choice. Scan the work for:

Non-trivial design choice (even small: a library pick, a naming convention, a data-model tradeoff) → propose BDR-XXX in .claude/memory/decisions.md with alternatives considered.
Reusable pattern or gotcha encountered → propose LRN-XXX in .claude/memory/learnings.md.

Present the candidates grouped:

CAPITALIZE — proposé
  [decisions.md]   BDR-XXX — <titre> (optionnel)
  [learnings.md]   LRN-XXX — <pattern> (optionnel)
Valider ? (all / <IDs> / edit / skip)

Always append a 1-line entry to today's heading in .claude/memory/journal.md.

Language rule: written entries are ALWAYS in English (see CLAUDE.md "Memory registries" § Language). The interactive gate may mirror the user's language; the appended entries must not.

If no substantive capture candidate → skip with CAPITALIZE: nothing to log.

RULES

Max 5 files. If more needed → /ship-feature.
Design gate only (not full plugin check). See STEP 0.5.
No brainstorm/design phase (if needed → /ship-feature).
No subagents — direct implementation.
Keep scope tight. If scope creep happens mid-work, stop and suggest splitting into /feat + follow-up task.
Follow existing code patterns. Don't introduce new patterns for a small feature.
