What problem does it solve? Activating an epic in an aiwf-tracked project involves several ordered steps — validating the epic spec, confirming a drafted milestone exists, running kernel checks, getting human approval for the sovereign promote commit, optionally opening a delegation scope, and cutting the epic branch. Doing this by hand risks skipping checks, bundling commits, or violating the kernel's human-only promotion rule. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Preflight validation: Reads the epic spec for concrete Goal/Scope/Constraints sections, checks for a drafted milestone via epic-active-no-drafted-milestones, and requires a clean aiwf check before proceeding. - Sovereign promotion gate: Presents aiwf promote E-NNNN active as an explicit approve/deny gate, landing the commit on main with the operator's own identity, with a --force --reason override reserved for genuine exceptions. - Optional delegation and worktree setup: Supports opening an aiwf authorize scope to an ai/<id> agent bound to the future epic branch, then cuts epic/E-NNNN-<slug> with in-repo worktree placement as the default. - Use Case: When a user says "start E-0007" or "let's begin work on the auth epic", the skill walks the operator through readiness checks, the gated promote commit, and branch creation, then hands off to aiwfx-start-milestone. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to start epic E-NNNN, for example by saying "start E-0007" or "activate the auth epic", and approve the promotion command when prompted.
