Based on SOC occupation classification
One-command project setup for OpenUP - interactive initialization wizard
Mark a task as complete, update roadmap, commit changes, and prepare traceability logs
Execute an already-claimed lane's Operations boxes with script/judgment classification โ script steps run directly with zero self-brief, judgment steps self-brief and execute. Handles only pick/resume; every other resolve path routes to /openup-next.
Run OpenUP Assess Results at iteration end โ check evaluation criteria, demo only completed acceptance-tested work, feed discovered work back, and trigger the milestone review at a phase boundary
Run the phase milestone go/no-go โ prepare derived evidence, pause for the human decision via an input-request, and record the milestone (never advance the phase itself)
Begin a new OpenUP iteration with proper phase context and task selection

Guide the red-green-refactor cycle with a pragmatic approach. TDD is a tool, not a mandate -- use it when it helps.
Based on $ARGUMENTS[phase]:
| Phase | Description |
|---|---|
| red | Write test first (preferably before implementation) |
| green | Implement to make test pass (commit point) |
| refactor | Clean up code while tests pass (optional for small changes) |
| full | Run complete red-green-refactor cycle |
See phase-specific documentation:
After each phase:
