Update an existing internal code artifact's behavior under new acceptance criteria. Use this skill when you already know what to update and want it scoped, specified, and broken into reviewable tasks in a single pass, with no requirements interview. You approve the resulting plan before anything is built: this skill plans and stops, so run `/aid-execute` to carry the plan out.

# Shortcut: update
<!-- GENERATED by generate-profile/scripts/build-shortcut-skills.py from .aid/runtime/templates/shortcut-catalog.yml -- DO NOT EDIT BY HAND; edit the catalog row and re-run the helper, then the full run_generator.py. -->
Bind **VERB=`update`**, **ARTIFACT="" (bare verb)**, then run the shared engine at `.aid/runtime/templates/shortcut-engine.md`. The engine scaffolds the flattened Lite work (feature-001 structure) and authors exactly two documents: `REQUIREMENTS.md`, whose `§ 11` feature section carries the technical specification and whose `§ 9` carries the gate criteria, and the task `DETAIL.md` files -- with reduced capture. One feature and one delivery means there is nothing to sequence, so no plan is written and the execution graph is derived from each task's `**Depends on:**` field. It runs the per-document Grading Gates (feature-004) and halts at the FR-10 approval gate. It never executes. This shortcut's `default_type`/`group` are its row in `.aid/runtime/templates/shortcut-catalog.yml`.
