# SC-038: Five-Phase Pipeline Is Preserved

> Covers: FR-027 — The meta-skill MUST preserve the 5-phase pipeline as the core creation methodology
> Type: Happy Path

## Given
- The meta-skill is invoked with: "Create a skill for automated email triage"

## When
- The meta-skill processes the request from start to finish

## Then
- All 5 phases execute in order:
  1. Phase 1: Discovery (research APIs, tools, data sources)
  2. Phase 2: Design (define use cases, methodologies)
  3. Phase 3: Architecture (structure the skill directory)
  4. Phase 4: Detection (generate description with domain keywords)
  5. Phase 5: Implementation (create all files, validate, scan)
- No phase is skipped
- The output explicitly references each phase

## Verification Method

**Method**: Manual test

**Steps**:
1. Run the meta-skill with the email triage input
2. Observe the output for phase markers (Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, Phase 4, Phase 5)
3. Verify all 5 phases are executed sequentially

**Expected evidence**: Output contains clear markers for all 5 phases: "Phase 1: Discovery", "Phase 2: Design", "Phase 3: Architecture", "Phase 4: Detection", "Phase 5: Implementation". Each phase produces visible output.
