Manage parallel workstreams for concurrent milestone work.

Usage

/ferrox-workstreams [subcommand] [args]

Subcommands

CommandDescription
listList all workstreams with status
create <name>Create a new workstream
status <name>Detailed status for one workstream
switch <name>Set active workstream
progressProgress summary across all workstreams
complete <name>Archive a completed workstream
resume <name>Resume work in a workstream

Step 1: Parse Subcommand

Parse the user's input to determine which workstream operation to perform. If no subcommand given, default to list.

Step 2: Execute Operation

list

Run: ferrox-tools query workstream.list --raw --cwd "$CWD" Display the workstreams in a table format showing name, status, current phase, and progress.

create

Run: ferrox-tools query workstream.create <name> --raw --cwd "$CWD" After creation, display the new workstream path and suggest next steps:

  • /ferrox-new-milestone --ws <name> to set up the milestone

status

Run: ferrox-tools query workstream.status <name> --raw --cwd "$CWD" Display detailed phase breakdown and state information.

switch

Run: ferrox-tools query workstream.set <name> --raw --cwd "$CWD" Also set FERROX_WORKSTREAM for the current session when the runtime supports it. If the runtime exposes a session identifier, Ferrox also stores the active workstream session-locally so concurrent sessions do not overwrite each other.

progress

Run: ferrox-tools query workstream.progress --raw --cwd "$CWD" Display a progress overview across all workstreams.

complete

Run: ferrox-tools query workstream.complete <name> --raw --cwd "$CWD" Archive the workstream to milestones/.

resume

Set the workstream as active and suggest /ferrox-resume-work --ws <name>.

Step 3: Display Results

Format the JSON output from ferrox-tools query into a human-readable display. Include the ${FERROX_WS} flag in any routing suggestions.
