Creates a short workspace checklist and tracks progress so reruns continue automatically. argument-hint: "<IDEA_ID> [FEAT-XXX] (examples: IDEA-0001-my-idea | IDEA-0001-my-idea FEAT-003 | FEAT-003)" disable-model-invocation: true

Feature Execution Assistant (Idea-Scoped, Tasks-Driven)

Execute development iteratively using Features (FEAT-XXX) as the unit of work.

This command must NOT depend on latest/work_packages.md. The canonical source of truth is the feature-grouped tasks in:

• docs/forge/ideas/<IDEA_ID>/latest/tasks.md

Supports optional arguments:

• /work-feat IDEA-0002-my-idea -> auto-pick the next not-yet-completed FEAT from tasks.md using the progress tracker
• /work-feat IDEA-0002-my-idea FEAT-003 -> execute a specific feature
• /work-feat FEAT-003 -> best-effort: locate the FEAT by scanning idea tasks (only if unique)

Use $ARGUMENTS for IDEA_ID and/or FEAT id.

Resolve IDEA_ID (required)

Before using any idea-scoped paths:

• If $ARGUMENTS starts with IDEA-, treat the first token as IDEA_REF.
• Call vf.resolve_idea_id with idea_ref = IDEA_REF and store IDEA_ID.
• Use IDEA_ID for all paths, YAML headers, and run log entries.

Inputs (Auto)

Canonical sources of truth (idea-scoped)

• docs/forge/ideas/<IDEA_ID>/latest/tasks.md (required; feature-grouped task definitions)
• docs/forge/ideas/<IDEA_ID>/latest/existing_solution_map.md (context for existing code, update when necessary)
• docs/forge/ideas/<IDEA_ID>/latest/idea_normalized.md (broader project context)

Optional context

• docs/forge/ideas/<IDEA_ID>/latest/features_backlog.md (fallback to features.md if missing)
• docs/forge/ideas/<IDEA_ID>/latest/epics_backlog.md (fallback to epics.md if missing)
• docs/forge/ideas/<IDEA_ID>/latest/concept_summary.md
• docs/forge/ideas/<IDEA_ID>/latest/existing_solution_map.md
• docs/forge/ideas/<IDEA_ID>/latest/codebase_context.md
• docs/forge/ideas/<IDEA_ID>/inputs/idea.md

Execution tracking (small, per-idea)

• docs/forge/ideas/<IDEA_ID>/latest/feature_execution_progress.md (create if missing; append-only)
• docs/forge/ideas/<IDEA_ID>/planning/ (workspace checklists live here)
• docs/forge/ideas/<IDEA_ID>/manifest.md (optional best-effort)
• docs/forge/ideas/<IDEA_ID>/run_log.md (append-only)

Step 0 - Safety & Repo Context

1. Read current repo state:

• git status -sb
• git diff --stat

1. If there are unrelated uncommitted changes:

• Ask the user to confirm whether to stash/commit before proceeding.
• Do NOT proceed blindly.

Step 1 - Determine target FEAT

Accepted invocation forms

Form A: $ARGUMENTS starts with IDEA-...

• Parse:
  • IDEA_REF = first token
  • Optional FEAT_ID = second token if it matches FEAT-\d{3}
  • Resolve IDEA_ID using vf.resolve_idea_id

Form B: $ARGUMENTS is only FEAT-XXX

• Scan all idea folders under docs/forge/ideas/ for a latest/tasks.md containing that FEAT header.
• If exactly one match is found, set IDEA_ID accordingly.
• If zero matches: STOP and report "FEAT not found in any idea."
• If multiple matches: STOP and list candidates; ask the user to rerun with explicit IDEA_ID.

If no FEAT_ID was provided:

• Auto-select the next FEAT not marked complete in latest/feature_execution_progress.md.

IMPORTANT: Do not scan the entire tasks.md

When selecting or executing a feature:

• Use targeted search within latest/tasks.md to locate the FEAT section header (e.g., FEAT-003: or ## FEAT-003).
• Extract ONLY the tasks under that FEAT section.

If tasks.md format varies, adapt by finding a stable "feature header" pattern used in the file and extracting the block until the next feature header.

Step 2 - Confirm required files exist

Required:

• docs/forge/ideas/<IDEA_ID>/latest/tasks.md

Create if missing:

• docs/forge/ideas/<IDEA_ID>/latest/feature_execution_progress.md
• docs/forge/ideas/<IDEA_ID>/planning/

If latest/tasks.md is missing, STOP and report the expected path.

Step 3 - Build the Feature Workspace Checklist (short)

Create (or update) a checklist doc for this feature:

• docs/forge/ideas/<IDEA_ID>/planning/FEC-<FEAT_ID>-workspace-checklist.md

Checklist requirements (keep it short):

• Title: <FEAT_ID> - <feature title>
• Idea-ID and Run-ID
• A checkbox list of the tasks in this feature (TASK-### ids + titles)
• For each task: 1-2 bullets:
  • key files expected to change (from existing_solution_map if available; otherwise best-effort)
  • verify command(s) (best-effort)
• "Notes / Decisions" section (append-only)

Do NOT create long plan docs. This is a working checklist.

Step 4 - Mark Feature as In Progress (progress tracker)

Update docs/forge/ideas/<IDEA_ID>/latest/feature_execution_progress.md:

• If this FEAT is not present, add an entry:
  • FEAT-XXX - In Progress - <timestamp> - run <RUN_ID> - checklist: planning/FEC-FEAT-XXX-workspace-checklist.md
• If already present and In Progress, treat as resume.

Step 5 - Execute Tasks One at a Time (Iterative Loop)

For each TASK in the feature's section (in dependency order if stated; otherwise file order):

5.1 - Preparation

• Use existing_solution_map.md if present to prefer extension of existing code.
• Do minimal, focused changes.
• Keep commits small; include TASK-### in commit messages.

5.2 - Implement

• Implement the smallest change meeting acceptance criteria.
• Avoid parallel implementations; extend existing components where possible.

5.3 - Verify

• Run the most relevant verification (unit tests/lint/smoke).
• If failing: attempt focused fix; re-run.

5.4 - Update checklist

In planning/FEC-...-workspace-checklist.md:

• Check off the task only after verification passes.
• Add 1-3 bullets:
  • files changed
  • commands run
  • anything learned

5.5 - If blocked

• Record blocker under that task in the checklist
• Update progress tracker to Blocked for this FEAT
• STOP

Step 6 - Feature-level Close Out

After all tasks are checked:

1. Run a feature-level verification (best-effort):
   • run the main test suite subset relevant to changed areas
2. If passes:
   • Update progress tracker: FEAT-XXX - Done - <timestamp> - run <RUN_ID>
3. If fails:
   • Keep FEAT as In Progress
   • Record failure summary in checklist and STOP

Step 7 - End-of-Run Summary (Always)

Print a concise summary:

• Feature executed: FEAT-XXX
• Tasks done vs remaining
• Verification commands run + result
• Key files touched
• Next recommended feature (next not-done FEAT)

Required tool calls (MCP helpers)

• vf.start_run (idea_id=<IDEA_ID>, label="work-feat")
• vf.write to create/update:
  • planning/FEC-<FEAT_ID>-workspace-checklist.md
  • latest/feature_execution_progress.md
  • run snapshots under runs/<RUN_ID>/... (best-effort)
• vf.append_log with stage execute.feature and outputs

Non-negotiable Rules

• Source of truth is latest/tasks.md.
• Execute exactly one feature per invocation.
• Do not read the full tasks.md; extract only the FEAT section being executed.
• Prefer extending existing code over creating parallel subsystems (use existing_solution_map when available).
• Only mark tasks done after verification passes.
