workflow-start

Unified workflow entry point. Discovers state, shows all active work, and routes to start or continue skills.

⚠️ ZERO OUTPUT RULE: Do not narrate your processing. Produce no output until a step or reference file explicitly specifies display content. No "proceeding with...", no discovery summaries, no routing decisions, no transition text. Your first output must be content explicitly called for by the instructions.

Instructions

Follow these steps EXACTLY as written. Do not skip steps or combine them.

CRITICAL: This guidance is mandatory.

• After each user interaction, STOP and wait for their response before proceeding
• Never assume or anticipate user choices
• Complete each step fully before moving to the next

Output the next fenced block as a code block:

Agentic engineering workflows — from idea to implementation.

Step 0: Initialisation

Load casing-conventions.md and follow its instructions as written.

Run migrations — this is mandatory. You must complete it before proceeding.

Invoke the /workflow-migrate skill and follow its instructions exactly — if it issues a STOP gate, you must stop.

→ Proceed to Step 1.

Step 1: Run Discovery

!node .claude/skills/workflow-start/scripts/discovery.cjs

If the above shows a script invocation rather than discovery output, the dynamic content preprocessor did not run. Execute the script before continuing:

node .claude/skills/workflow-start/scripts/discovery.cjs

Parse the output to understand the current workflow state:

From epics section:

• work_units — name, active_phases (list of phase names with artifacts)

From features section:

• work_units — name, next_phase, phase_label

From bugfixes section:

• work_units — name, next_phase, phase_label

From completed/cancelled arrays:

• Non-active work units with name, work_type, status, last_phase
• completed_count, cancelled_count

From inbox section (only present when inbox items exist):

• ideas — slug, date, title for each idea
• bugs — slug, date, title for each bug
• idea_count, bug_count, total_count

From state section:

• Counts for each work type, has_any_work flag
• has_inbox, inbox_count

→ Proceed to Step 2.

Step 2: Check State

If state.has_any_work is false

Load empty-state.md and follow its instructions as written.

Otherwise

→ Proceed to Step 3.

Step 3: Display and Route

Load active-work.md and follow its instructions as written.
