npx claudepluginhub sc30gsw/vcsdd-claude-code --plugin vcsdd/approveApproves current workflow phase after validation, updates state with timestamp and approver, advances to next phase, auto-executes it, and shows new approval gate.
/fire-autonomousRuns the full build pipeline autonomously — plans, executes, verifies, and advances through all phases without human checkpoints after PRD is complete.
/fast-forwardFast-forwards remaining nWave phases (DISCUSS, DESIGN, DEVOPS, DISTILL, DELIVER) end-to-end without review pauses after user confirmation. Optional feature description or --from flag.
/writ-approveAdvances the current phase of the Writ workflow (design, plan, or tests) using explicit tool-confirmed approval, recording the transition in the session and audit log.
/autonomousExecutes all remaining milestone phases autonomously — discuss, plan, and execute each phase in sequence. Updates ROADMAP.md and STATE.md, creates phase artifacts.
/forgeOrchestrates a feature from raw idea through research, spec, planning, implementation, verification, and release-readiness using configurable phase maps (express/lite/standard/v-model) with human gates and cross-artifact sync-verify.
