Create Protocol

Generate a structured protocol from a PRD or task description using the workflow engine.

Instructions

1. Resolve inputs

The user may specify the source in different ways:

• Protocol number (3, 003): find .protocols/003-*/prd.md
• Protocol path (.protocols/003-feature): check for prd.md inside
• PRD file path (path/to/prd.md): use directly, create protocol dir
• Task description ("build admin dashboard"): will generate prd.md from description

Determine:

• protocol_dir: the .protocols/NNNN-feature-name/ directory
• prd_source: set to task description text if no prd.md exists yet; empty if prd.md already exists

If no protocol directory exists, determine the next number:

ls .protocols/ 2>/dev/null | sort -r | head -1

2. Load workflow engine

Load the memento-workflow:workflow-engine skill (it contains the relay protocol you must follow).

3. Start the workflow

mcp__plugin_memento-workflow_memento-workflow__start(
  workflow="create-protocol",
  variables={
    "protocol_dir": "<resolved protocol directory>",
    "prd_source": "<task description or empty string>",
    "workdir": "<project root>"
  },
  cwd="<project root>"
)

4. Follow the relay protocol from the workflow-engine skill until the workflow completes.
