Camp Workitems

Use camp workitem to find current camp work across intents, workflow design/explore docs, festivals, and tracked workflow directories.

camp workitem is canonical. camp wi and camp workitems are aliases.

Discover

Agents and scripts should prefer JSON:

camp workitem --json
camp workitem --json --type design --query auth
camp workitem --json --type intent --stage ready --limit 5

Use path output only when shell integration needs a destination:

camp workitem --print --type festival

Non-interactive use requires --json or --print.

Useful filters:

• --type intent|design|explore|festival|<custom>
• --stage inbox|active|ready|planning
• --query <text>
• --limit <n>

Interactive

camp workitem

Use the TUI for human browsing, prioritization, and selection.

Create Or Adopt

Use custom workitems for workflow/<type>/<slug> directories that should appear in discovery.

camp workitem create <slug> --type feature --title "Human title"
camp workitem adopt workflow/feature/existing-dir --type feature --title "Human title"

Slug and type values must be path-safe: no /, \, whitespace, or control characters; no leading . or -; max 80 characters.

Avoid

• Running the interactive TUI from an agent session instead of using --json.
• Hand-writing tracking metadata for custom workitems. Use camp workitem create or camp workitem adopt so discovery state stays compatible.
• Editing .campaign/settings/workitems.json manually. It is tool-managed priority state, not the work-item source of truth.
