Phase Kickoff

Scaffold a new phase of development following a structured phase-based workflow.

Steps

1. Parse arguments: Extract the phase number and goal from $ARGUMENTS (e.g., “3 – User Authentication”).

2. Update roadmap: Append a new phase section to your roadmap document:

   ---
   
   ## Phase {N}: {Title}
   
   **Goal**: {One-sentence goal description}
   
   - [ ] {N}.1 {First task}
   - [ ] {N}.2 {Second task}
   ...
   
   **Verify**: {How to confirm the phase is complete}
   

3. Create feature branch (if not already on one):

   git checkout -b feature/phase{N}-{kebab-case-title}
   

4. Create TDD test shell: Create a test file with describe blocks matching the planned tasks:

   import { describe, it, expect } from "vitest";
   
   describe("Phase {N}: {Title}", () => {
     describe("{N}.1 - {First task}", () => {
       it.todo("should ...");
     });
   });
   

5. Print summary: Show the phase number, branch name, test file location, and task count.

Arguments

• $ARGUMENTS: Phase number and title (e.g., “3 – User Authentication” or “4 Real-time Notifications”)

Context

This skill enforces a structured development model:

• Each phase has a clear goal, numbered tasks, and verification criteria
• Quality gates: lint, typecheck, tests per commit
• Test counts are tracked after phase completion
