Complete reference for all H·AI·K·U commands. Commands are MCP prompts invoked as /haiku:<command> in any MCP client (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.).

Core Commands

`/haiku:new`

Create a new intent with studio and stage configuration.

Detects or prompts for studio selection (software, ideation, or custom)
Selects execution mode (continuous or discrete stages)
Resolves stages from the selected studio
Creates .haiku/intents/{slug}/ workspace with intent and unit files
Sets up git branch haiku/{slug} (software studio)

Arguments: description (optional) — describe what you want to build. template (optional) — instantiate from a studio intent template.

`/haiku:run`

Run the stage pipeline for the current intent. Progresses through each stage in order, transitioning through the hats defined in each stage's STAGE.md.

Arguments: intent (optional) — intent slug. Auto-detects if only one active intent.

`/haiku:review`

Pre-delivery code review using multi-agent specialized review. Spawns parallel agents for correctness, security, performance, architecture, and test quality. Auto-fixes HIGH findings (up to 3 iterations).

Arguments: intent (optional) — intent slug.

`/haiku:autopilot`

Full autonomous workflow — create intent, run stages, review, and deliver in one command. Sets mode=autopilot and chains to /haiku:run.

Arguments: description (optional) — feature description.

`/haiku:quick`

Quick mode for small tasks — skip full pipeline. Streamlined single-stage workflow for fixes, renames, config changes, and small refactors.

Arguments: stage (optional) — stage name. description (required) — task description.

Intent Management

`/haiku:refine`

Refine intent or unit specs mid-execution without losing progress. Loads upstream stage context for scoped side-trips.

Arguments: stage (optional) — upstream stage to refine.

`/haiku:reflect`

Post-completion analysis of a completed intent cycle. Loads metrics and constructs structured analysis prompt.

Arguments: intent (optional) — intent slug.

Knowledge & Analysis

`/haiku:ideate`

Surface high-impact improvement ideas with adversarial filtering. Generates ideas across multiple dimensions and filters via counter-argument.

Arguments: area (optional) — focus area for brainstorming.

`/haiku:adopt`

Reverse-engineer an existing feature into H·AI·K·U intent artifacts. Explores a shipped feature by reading its code, tests, and docs, then generates intent and unit specs.

Arguments: description (optional) — feature description.

`/haiku:capacity`

Historical throughput analysis from local artifacts. Analyzes completed intents, units, and bolts to surface velocity trends and bottleneck stages.

Arguments: studio (optional) — scope analysis to a specific studio.

`/haiku:release-notes`

Show the project changelog and release notes.

Arguments: version (optional) — specific version to show.

Quality & Process

`/haiku:pressure-testing`

Adversarial challenge for hat definitions. Applies RED-GREEN-REFACTOR cycle to test hat instructions under pressure types.

Arguments: hat (optional) — hat name to test.

Cross-Studio & Operations

`/haiku:composite`

Create a multi-studio intent with sync points. Coordinates work across studios.

Arguments: description (optional) — what the composite intent addresses.

`/haiku:triggers`

Poll providers for events that unblock await gates or trigger new work.

Arguments: category (optional) — provider category to poll.

`/haiku:operate`

Run post-delivery operational tasks from studio templates.

Arguments: operation (optional) — operation name to execute.

`/haiku:backlog`

Parking lot for ideas not yet ready for planning.

Arguments: action (optional) — add, list, review, or promote. description (optional) — for add action.

`/haiku:dashboard`

Current intent status overview with per-stage progress.

`/haiku:scaffold`

Generate custom studios, stages, hats, and provider overrides.

Arguments: type (required) — studio, stage, hat, or provider. name (required) — name for the artifact. parent (optional) — parent context.

`/haiku:migrate`

Migrate legacy .ai-dlc intents to H·AI·K·U format.

Arguments: intent (optional) — specific intent slug to migrate.

`/haiku:seed`

Create intents from studio templates.

Arguments: action (optional) — plant, list, or check.

`/haiku:setup`

Configure H·AI·K·U providers and workspace settings.
