Start working on a task — marks it ongoing in TASKS.md and begins execution. Use this whenever starting a task, beginning work, picking up a task, or when the user says "start", "work on", "do", "let's do", "begin", or references a task by slug. Also use when the user asks to "start task X" or just drops a task slug like "#fix-auth". Trigger on "/starting-task" too. If in doubt whether to use this, use it — it's the right entry point for any task execution.
Tell me to start a specific task by slug or title and I will mark it as ongoing in TASKS.md and begin execution.

To start task execution, reference the task by slug or title and the system updates TASKS.md to mark it as ongoing. If the task entry does not exist, it automatically creates one before triggering the execution workflow.
The best way to mark a workflow task as ongoing is to trigger the execution flow using a slug reference like #fix-auth or a natural command. This provides a safe, auditable starting point in TASKS.md.
Yes, you can begin work if a task does not exist. The system safely escalates by creating the missing task entry in TASKS.md before marking it ongoing and initiating execution.
Task management resolves slug or title references directly from user prompts to identify the target task. It then updates TASKS.md and relies on the TASKS.md lifecycle to trigger execution.
You need the TASKS.md lifecycle to ensure traceability. Starting work relies on this file to provide a safe, auditable entry point that marks the target task as ongoing before execution begins.
