Feature Builder

Feature Builder Skill

Zero-to-feature orchestration pipeline for mobile development. Transforms a feature description into production-ready code through six structured phases with automated agent coordination, build verification, and quality enforcement.

Overview

The feature builder runs a deterministic six-phase pipeline:

Phase 1: Planning          Phase 2: Implementation       Phase 3: Testing

Entry Points:

• /feature-build <description> -- Full pipeline from planning to verification
• /feature-build --from-phase=<N> -- Resume from a specific phase
• /feature-build --skip-phase=<N> -- Skip a phase (e.g., skip quality gate for prototypes)
• Individual phase commands for targeted execution

Supported Platforms: Android, iOS, KMP (auto-detected or explicit via --platform)

---

Usage

Full Pipeline

# Auto-detect platform, run all phases
/feature-build "User authentication with biometric login"

# Explicit platform
/feature-build --platform=android "Shopping cart checkout flow"
/feature-build --platform=ios "Push notification preferences"
/feature-build --platform=kmp "Offline-first data sync"

Partial Execution

# Resume from implementation (plan already exists)
/feature-build --from-phase=2 --feature=auth

# Skip quality gate for rapid prototyping
/feature-build --skip-phase=5 "Quick settings screen"

# Run only a single phase
/feature-plan "User profile editor"
/feature-implement --feature=profile-editor
/feature-test --feature=profile-editor

Flags

Phase 1: Planning (/feature-plan)

Creates a comprehensive plan document and validates it through architecture review.

Workflow

┌──────────────────┐     ┌───────────────────┐     ┌─────────────┐
│ feature-planner  │────▶│ mobile-architect   │────▶│ User Review │

└──────────────────┘     └───────────────────┘     └─────────────┘

Steps

1. Platform Detection -- Scan project for platform markers (see Platform Detection) 2. Codebase Analysis -- feature-planner agent reads project structure, existing modules, DI setup, navigation graph, and version catalog 3. Plan Generation -- Produces .omc/plans/feature-{name}.json with module breakdown, file list, dependency graph, and task ordering 4. Architecture Review -- mobile-architect agent (model: opus) critiques the plan for:

• Layer separation violations
• Missing error handling paths
• Navigation integration gaps
• DI registration completeness
• Naming convention adherence

5. Revision -- Planner incorporates architect feedback 6. User Approval -- Present plan summary; user approves, requests changes, or cancels

Phase 2: Implementation (/feature-implement)

Executes a five-agent dependency DAG to build the feature layer by layer.

  └────────┬────────┘
           │
           ▼
  ┌─────────────────┐
  │   wiring-impl   │   Phase 2d: Integration
  │  (DI modules,   │   - Koin/Hilt module registration
  │   navigation,   │   - Navigation graph updates
  │   manifest)     │   - AndroidManifest changes (if any)
  └─────────────────┘

Execution Rules

• Each agent reads from .omc/plans/feature-{name}.json for its file list and module paths
• Agents write only to their designated files (enforced by plan document)
• network-impl and ui-impl run in parallel since they have no mutual dependency
• data-impl waits for network-impl (needs DTOs for mapping)
• wiring-impl runs last to connect all layers
• All agents respect the project's existing patterns (read from mobile-memory MCP)

Pattern Extraction

The learning phase scans all generated feature files for established mobile patterns:

Feature Composite Patterns

Higher-level patterns detected by combining individual pattern presence:

Confidence Scoring

• Individual patterns start at confidence 0.5 (higher than session-detected patterns at 0.4, since feature builds are more deliberate)
• Each subsequent detection of the same pattern increases confidence by 0.1 (capped at 1.0)
• Composite feature patterns start at 0.5-0.6 based on complexity
• Unused instincts decay by 0.05 after 30 days of inactivity

Completeness Score

The feature completeness score is a weighted sum (0-100%) of the five composite patterns:

Score = (clean_arch * 25) + (mvi_complete * 25) + (di_complete * 15)
      + (test_coverage * 20) + (navigation_wired * 15)

Score >= 80%  -->  High quality feature build
Score 50-79%  -->  Acceptable, some patterns missing
Score < 50%   -->  Needs improvement, review missing layers

Learning Output

Saved to .omc/state/feature-{name}-learning.json:

{
  "featureName": "auth",
  "platform": "android",
  "learnedAt": "2026-03-28T10:20:00Z",
  "patternsDetected": ["sealed-interface-state", "mvi-intent-handling", "..."],
  "featurePatterns": {

    "feature-navigation-wired": true
  },
  "completenessScore": 100,
  "filesScanned": 23,
  "instinctsAdded": 12
}

Feedback Loop

Learned patterns feed back into the instinct system:

• Future /feature-build runs consult high-confidence instincts when generating plans
• Patterns with confidence >= 0.7 are treated as established project conventions
• The /feature-learn command shows accumulated learning across all feature builds
• Instincts can be exported via /instinct-export for sharing across projects

Platform Detection

Auto-detection scans the project root for platform markers. First match wins.

Detection Rules

Detection Priority

1. Check for shared/src/commonMain/ → KMP
2. Check for *.xcodeproj or *.xcworkspace → iOS
3. Check for build.gradle.kts with android block → Android
4. Prompt user if ambiguous

Override

# Force platform when auto-detection is wrong
/feature-build --platform=kmp "Feature description"

---

Error Recovery

Every phase creates a checkpoint before execution. On failure, the pipeline can resume from the last successful state.

Recovery Commands

# Resume from where it left off (reads state file)
/feature-build --from-phase=auto --feature=auth

# Force re-run a specific phase (resets that phase's state)
/feature-build --from-phase=4 --force --feature=auth

# View current state
cat .omc/state/feature-auth.json

Recovery Strategy

State File Integrity

• State file is written atomically (write to temp, then rename)
• Each phase reads the previous phase's state before starting
• Corrupted state file triggers a full checkpoint restore
• --force flag resets a single phase's state to pending

---

Phase Commands

Each phase can be invoked independently for targeted execution.

Common Workflows

# Full feature from scratch
/feature-build "Payment processing with Stripe"

# Already have a plan, just implement
/feature-implement --feature=payments

# Code exists, need tests and verification
/feature-build --from-phase=3 --feature=payments

# Quick iteration: fix build and re-verify
/feature-build-fix --feature=payments && /feature-verify --feature=payments

Integration

Mobile Memory MCP

The feature builder reads and writes to mobile-memory for cross-session context:

• Reads: Project architecture patterns, existing module structure, DI conventions, naming patterns, test patterns
• Writes: New feature metadata, file manifest, dependency additions, learned patterns from build-fix iterations

Checkpoint System

Integrates with the mobile-checkpoint skill:

• Auto-creates checkpoints at each phase boundary
• Naming convention: {phase-name}-{featureName} (e.g., after-impl-auth)
• Full checkpoint at feature completion: feature-complete-{featureName}
• Checkpoints include instinct snapshots for rollback safety

Instinct Hooks

The feature builder triggers instinct learning:

• Phase 2 patterns: Architecture decisions, file organization choices
• Phase 4 patterns: Common build errors and their fixes per project
• Phase 5 patterns: Recurring code review findings
• Instincts are versioned per feature so rollback does not lose learning

Hook Events

Remember: The feature builder is a pipeline, not a monolith. Each phase is independently testable, resumable, and skippable. Trust the DAG -- let agents work in parallel where dependencies allow, and checkpoint aggressively so no work is ever lost.
