SKILL.md specifies default: 10. The command quick-reference incorrectly stated default: 5. Co-authored-by: Eric Elliott <support@paralleldrive.com>
Removed the steps section detailing the process for ideation and evaluation.
…encies - Command file: use H1 with /aidd-rtc name, matching aidd-fix and aidd-churn patterns - Command file: delegate option details to SKILL.md instead of duplicating them - Command file: add missing [prompt] arg to usage line - Command file: use /aidd-please shorthand instead of full path - SKILL.md: fix --depth= to --depth N for consistency with README and command docs - SKILL.md: remove trailing blank lines - Regenerate index.md files to include aidd-rtc entries

Pull request overview
Adds the new aidd-rtc skill (Reflective Thought Composition) and wires it into the commands/skills indexes for discovery and use.
Changes:
- Introduces
ai/skills/aidd-rtc/SKILL.mddefining the RTC pipeline plus options (--compact,--depth). - Adds human-facing docs (
ai/skills/aidd-rtc/README.md) and a command card (ai/commands/aidd-rtc.md). - Updates
ai/skills/index.mdandai/commands/index.mdto include the new skill/command.

In the Options block, the option syntax is harder to parse/copy than other skills. Consider matching the established format from aidd-please (e.g., start the line with the flag name, and document the short alias/argument consistently as --depth N | -d N [1..10] (default: 10)), rather than prefixing the flag with emojis and omitting the N placeholder.

What
Adds aidd-rtc (Reflective Thought Composition) — a structured deep-thinking primitive for agents.
RTC is a 6-stage reasoning pipeline: restate → ideate → reflect → expand → score → respond. It forces agents to show work at each stage before delivering a final answer, improving reasoning quality for complex decisions, design evaluation, and deep analysis.
