Split from PR #94. One skill per PR per project standards.

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.

Files

  • ai/skills/aidd-rtc/SKILL.md — Full skill specification with frontmatter, pipeline definition, options, and step descriptions
  • ai/skills/aidd-rtc/README.md — Human-readable documentation: what, why, and command reference
  • ai/commands/aidd-rtc.md — Quick-reference command card

Options

  • --compact — Dense internal reasoning (SPR-style), full natural language only in final respond step
  • --depth N (1–10, default: 10) — Controls detail level per reasoning stage

Review notes

  • Passed validate-skill (44 body lines, 597 body tokens, well within thresholds)
  • Fixed --depth default inconsistency: command file originally said 5, SKILL.md source of truth says 10 — corrected to 10
  • Zero dependencies — this is the most foundational skill in the framework

Review fixes applied

  • Command file normalized: H1 heading with /aidd-rtc name to match aidd-fix and aidd-churn conventions
  • Command file simplified: Delegated option details to SKILL.md instead of duplicating them
  • Command syntax: Added missing [prompt] arg to command usage line
  • Reference fixed: Changed full path ai/skills/aidd-please/SKILL.md to /aidd-please shorthand
  • SKILL.md syntax: Fixed --depth= to --depth N for consistency with README and command docs
  • Trailing whitespace: Removed extra blank lines from SKILL.md
  • Indexes regenerated: Both ai/skills/index.md and ai/commands/index.md now include aidd-rtc

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

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.md defining 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.md and ai/commands/index.md to include the new skill/command.

🗜️🐘🤔💭 --compact Compress thinking: SPR🧠 associative. Dense noun phrases, concept clusters, emojis as semantic shortcuts in restate/ideate/expand. Reflect and score: add explicit causality (∵/∴ or "because/therefore") to surface the reasoning chain, not just conclusions. Every internal stage: load-bearing tokens only, no filler. 💬Respond = full natural language, standalone, structured.
--depth -d [1..10] (default: 10) Response density. 1 = a few words per step, 10 = several bullet points per step.

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.
