Start

/start - Session Onboarding

Smart onboarding for web development projects with progress memory.

Flow

Session start
    │
    ├─ Handoff artifact exists? → Load and continue
    │
    ├─ Checkpoint exists? → Offer to resume
    │
    └─ Fresh start → Sprint contract flow

Usage

/start

Behavior

1. Check for Saved Progress

Look for:

• production/session-state/handoffs/latest.md (Context Reset handoff)
• production/session-state/checkpoints/ (Manual checkpoints)

2. If Progress Found

📦 Found saved progress from [date]

Session: [feature name]
Last state: [where we stopped]
Next step: [what to do next]

Continue previous work?
  A) Yes, resume from checkpoint
  B) No, start fresh

3. Fresh Start Options

What would you like to do?
  A) New feature (0→1) - Start with brainstorm
  B) Continue existing work (1→N) - Onboard codebase first
  C) Emergency hotfix - Skip to hotfix workflow

Sprint Contract Integration

For new features, /start integrates with the sprint contract system:

1. Planner Phase: Expand user prompt into spec
2. Contract Negotiation: Agree on "done" criteria
3. Implementation Ready: Clear starting point
