Start Weft Workflow

Initialize a new deterministic workflow.

Arguments

$ARGUMENTS

Instructions

If no arguments — guided template picker:

1. List available templates with full details:

   python3 "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/core/cli.py" start
   

2. For each template, show a preview of its steps:

   python3 "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/core/cli.py" preview <name>
   

3. Present the user with a numbered list like:

   1. generic (3 steps) — plan, implement, verify
   2. feature-workflow (12 steps) — full-cycle feature development with guards
   3. Custom — describe your task and I'll build a workflow
   

4. Wait for the user to pick a number, name, or describe their task.

   • If they pick a template: show the full preview and ask to confirm before starting.
   • If they describe a task: suggest appropriate steps, confirm, then start as ad-hoc.

If a template name is given:

1. Preview it first:

   python3 "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/core/cli.py" preview <template-name>
   

2. Start it:

   python3 "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/core/cli.py" start <template-name>
   

If comma-separated step names are given (ad-hoc):

python3 "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/core/cli.py" start "step1,step2,step3"

After starting:

Display the workflow checklist and remind the user:

• /wf-step complete to advance steps
• /wf-status to check progress
• /wf-analyze to review timing and recurring friction across runs
• The Stop hook will prevent finishing with incomplete steps
• If the current step has guards, explain what commands are blocked and why
