What problem does it solve?
Quickly re-establishes project context and developer state at the start or resumption of a coding session so agents do not waste time rediscovering workflow rules, developer identity, git status, or active tasks. It prevents inconsistent or ad-hoc edits by ensuring work begins with the correct specs, injected context, and a clear plan.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Workspace bootstrapping: Reads workflow guides and spec indexes from .trellis to learn repository standards before writing code.
- Context gathering: Runs helper scripts to collect developer identity, git status, current and active tasks, and package spec indexes.
- Task classification & routing: Classifies incoming requests into question, trivial fix, simple task, or complex task and routes them to direct edit, task workflow, or brainstorm workflows as appropriate.
- End-to-end task workflow initiation: Creates task directories, writes PRDs, injects code-spec context into jsonl files, activates tasks, and orchestrates implement/check phases.
- Use case: Begin a new feature or resume work on a paused ticket with guaranteed adherence to project conventions and automated context setup.
Quick Start
Begin by invoking the start skill to load .trellis workflow and spec indices, gather current task context, and ask what you would like to work on.
