What problem does it solve? Starting development work without a clear process leads to missed context, skipped reviews, and inconsistent quality. This Skill provides a structured entry point that recovers prior session state, primes relevant knowledge, assesses task complexity, and routes work into the appropriate workflow before any code is written. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Pre-Task Checklist: Detects interrupted plans in docs/plans/active-plan.md, primes knowledge base rules and gotchas, and checks for open PR comments before starting. - Complexity Assessment: Classifies work as Simple (bug fixes, copy changes) or Complex (new features, API endpoints, multi-file refactors) and confirms the assessment with the user. - Gated Complex Workflow: For complex tasks, enforces GitHub Issue creation, design review gates, plan review gates, orchestrated execution with adversarial review, and self-reflection before PR creation. - Use Case: A developer asks to add a new API endpoint. The Skill primes project knowledge, classifies it as complex, ensures a GitHub Issue with Definition of Done items exists, and routes the work through plan review and orchestrated execution. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to start a new task by describing the work, for example: start a task to add pagination to the users API endpoint.
