feature-a-bead

What problem does it solve?

Activity recipe for working a feature-shaped beads issue. Owns the feature-specific middle of the bead lifecycle. The shared lifecycle scaffolding — MemPalace search, claim + worktree, verification, commit, finish-branch, close + capture — lives in the bead-lifecycle-shell skill. This recipe cites those phases by letter and supplies the variable middle that runs between phase A (pre-middle) and phase B (verification).

Core Features & Use Cases

• Defines the feature-specific middle and coordinates with bead-lifecycle-shell for claim, verify, and close, enabling contract-driven progress across feature beads.
• Supports both single-bead work and multi-bead plans by guiding design, RED/GREEN verification, planning, and integration within a consistent lifecycle.
• Enforces phase boundaries (designing, planning, red, green, integration) and records stage markers for cold-start continuity.

Quick Start

Start the feature-bead workflow by claiming a feature bead and running the variable middle process through the bead-lifecycle-shell pipeline, which will guide you through design, red-test, green-implementation, and final verification.
