Ghp:fresh

/ghp:fresh — Bootstrap a Fresh Agent

Loads all context needed to work on an issue and starts immediately. Designed for fresh conversations and subagents that have no prior context.

Flow

With issue number: /ghp:fresh 42

1. Fetch issue details:

   gh issue view 42 --json title,body,state,labels,milestone
   gh issue-ext show 42          # sub-issues, blocking, branches
   gh issue-ext sub list 42      # sub-issues
   gh issue-ext blocking list 42 # blockers
   gh issue-ext branch list 42   # linked branch
   

2. Check blockers. If the issue has unresolved blockers, warn the user and ask whether to proceed or pick a different issue.

3. Move to In Progress:

   gh pm move 42 --status in_progress
   

4. Check out the linked branch. Use the branch from gh issue-ext branch list. If no branch exists, create one following the naming convention:

   • Under a milestone: m{N}/{issue}-{slug}
   • Standalone: {issue}-{slug}

5. Read plan comments. Check for plan comments on the issue:

   gh issue view 42 --json comments -q '.comments[].body'
   

   Look for comments starting with ## Plan — these contain implementation plans from previous sessions.

6. Create TaskList. If the issue has sub-issues, create tasks from them (sub-issues first, parent last). If no sub-issues, create a single task for the issue.

7. Start working. Begin implementation based on the issue body and any plan comments.

Without issue number: /ghp:fresh

1. Fetch Todo issues:

   gh pm list --status todo
   

2. Check blocking status for each Todo issue to find which are unblocked.

3. Present unblocked Todo issues to the user via AskUserQuestion (up to 4 options, sorted by milestone first, then standalone).

4. Continue with the selected issue — follow the "With issue number" flow above from step 1.
