feature-startlisted

Starts implementation of one decomposed task: isolates a workspace (a feature branch by default; a git worktree only when isolation is critical), loads the relevant PRD, ADR, and frozen contract, then proposes a compact in-session plan for approval before any code is written. Use at the start of Stage 4 (Implement) once scope is approved, or when the user says "start working on issue #N", "begin this task", or "let's implement {feature}".

# feature-start Prepare a clean starting point with the context needed to implement one task, then stop for a plan approval gate. ## Steps 1. **Pick the task.** Confirm the task's **identifier and slug** with the user. The identifier is the GitHub issue number by default; on another tracker its key (`ENG-123`); in **local-only** mode the `#` column of the task table in `docs/progress.md`. Never invent one. One task per run. The human must confirm the identifier and slug before any Git mutation; stop here until they do. 2. **Isolate the workspace — default to a feature branch.** Create `feat/{id}-{slug}` directly. Use a git worktree only as an explicit manual escape hatch for opt-in parallel or disposable work, or when the user asks. Before changing anything, run `git worktree list --porcelain` and identify the primary checkout. Never switch or modify another checkout. Run these guards first: - **Clean tree:** Direct mode requires the idle primary checkout to have no uncommitted changes. Inspect ignored paths too (`git status --short --ignored`) before switching or synchronizing; if any uncommitted, ignored, or ambiguous path could be overwritten, stop and ask the human. A local-only `docs/progress.md` change may be committed only with explicit approval, and only from the primary checkout already on the default branch. A linked or topic checkout, and every temporary-worktree run, must stop until that tracker change is lande
