  Orchestrate the full AIDLC Autonomous Pipeline from a one-sentence requirement
  to a PR-ready delivery with TDD methodology. DDD drives judgment (should we?),
  SDD produces specs (what exactly?), TDD verifies delivery (did we?).
  Drives stages sequentially: Evaluate, Think, Plan, Build (TDD red-green),
  Review, Test, Deliver (with report), Reflect. Classifies every decision as
  mechanical (auto-approve), taste (batch at delivery gate), or judgment
  (block for human). Checkpoints on L2 BLOCK, retry exhaustion, or context
  budget limits. Resumes from checkpoint in a fresh session.
  TRIGGER: "run pipeline", "autonomous pipeline", "pipeline for", "full pipeline",
  "build end-to-end", "execute pipeline", "resume pipeline", "continue pipeline",
  "pipeline status".
  DO NOT USE: for a single stage (use the specific skill: evaluate, deep-research,
  code-review, qa, deliver). Not for tasks without a clear requirement.
  SIBLINGS: evaluate = the GO/DEFER gate alone | qa = testing alone |
  deliver = packaging alone | pipeline = the full orchestrated sequence.

## Verification

Before marking the pipeline complete, show evidence for each:

- [ ] **REPORT.md generated** — saved to `.artifacts/runs/<RUN_ID>/REPORT.md`
- [ ] **All stage artifacts published** — every completed stage has a published artifact
- [ ] **Confidence score calculated** — score breakdown shown, not just a number
- [ ] **Decision log complete** — every non-trivial decision classified (mechanical/taste/judgment)
- [ ] **TDD cycle verified** — RED (tests fail) → GREEN (tests pass) → VERIFY (no regressions)
