start

A mandatory startup workflow ensures proper context, skill discovery, and planning before any implementation begins. It enforces brainstorming, creates TodoWrite todos for checklists, and delegates to specialized agent personas to guarantee consistent, safe task execution.

Skill discovery and prioritization are handled by scanning available skills at task initialization. The system announces the appropriate skill, invokes it via the Skill tool, and routes the work to the correct specialized agent persona before any changes are made.

Creating TodoWrite todos for checklists happens during the mandatory planning phase. The startup workflow converts checklist items into actionable todos and outlines a structured plan, ensuring all prerequisites are mapped out before coding starts.

Agent delegation routes work by selecting the correct specialized agent persona for the task domain. This ensures domain-specific execution by delegating the workload to the right agent after the initial skill discovery and planning phases are complete.

Invoking the Skill tool before announcing usage guarantees a consistent, safe engagement process. It ensures the system properly discovers applicable skills, verifies context, and delegates to specialized agents before any implementation or coding occurs.

Brainstorming before coding prevents implementation errors by enforcing a mandatory startup workflow. It establishes proper context, generates TodoWrite checklists, and selects the correct specialized agent, ensuring prerequisites are met before changes begin.
