# /new — redirect to the `new` skill (SSOT)

> **This command is a thin entry point. It contains NO orchestration logic of its own.**
> The authoritative, maintained `/new` pipeline lives in the **`new` skill**:
> `framework/.claude/skills/new/SKILL.md` (installed as `.claude/skills/new/`).
>
> A previous version of this file carried a full, hand-maintained copy of the pipeline.
> That copy silently drifted from the skill (it omitted the BLOCKING Phase 0 hygiene,
> AC-Closure, Simplify, E2E, Pre-Merge Codex, post-merge hygiene, and Metrics phases,
> ran `code-reviewer` where the skill forbids it, and referenced a QA README
> file that does not exist). To eliminate the dual-source-of-truth, the logic now lives in
> exactly one place. **Do not re-introduce pipeline steps here.**

When the user invokes `/new <CARD-IDS>`:

1. **Load and follow the `new` skill** (`skills/new/SKILL.md`) verbatim, passing the
   user's arguments through unchanged (card IDs, ranges, `-full` epic expansion, etc.).
2. The skill owns the entire flow: Phase 0 (workspace hygiene pre-flight) → Phase 1–8
   (claim, implement, completeness, AC-closure, simplify, E2E, doc review, QA,
   pre-merge Codex gate, commit, batch review, merge, reconciliation, post-merge
   hygiene, production-readiness, metrics), including the `review_profile`-driven QA
   tiering and all worktree-isolation safety rules.
3. Do not duplicate or summarise the skill's steps in this file — read them from the
   skill so they cannot diverge.

If the `new` skill is not available in the current install, that is an install/integrity
error: surface it (`new skill not found — run \`npx baldart\` to repair the install`)
rather than falling back to an inline pipeline.
