init-worktrack-skill

What problem does it solve?

It prevents worktrack scheduling from starting with missing or inconsistent branches, baselines, contracts, or queue seeds by performing a controlled initialization step in Harness WorktrackScope.initializing.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Worktrack initialization state transition: Creates or repairs the minimal artifacts required for a worktrack to become schedulable, including branch, baseline references, contract, and the initial plan/queue.
• Milestone-derived safeguards: When the worktrack is derived from an active milestone, it enforces intake review gating by requiring a ready_for_worktrack_init verdict and blocks when refresh/adjust/blocked conditions are present.
• Dispatch handoff packaging: Produces only the scheduling handoff package needed by downstream dispatch skills, without generating authoritative dispatch packages itself.

Quick Start

Use the init-worktrack-skill when Harness determines a specific worktrack must enter a limited-scope initialization phase and you need it to create the required artifacts and seed the initial scheduling queue.
