kickoff

description

Load and execute a stowed wave kickoff by its short UID (e.g. e7l, dfr, dfb). Reads .claude/kickoffs/<UID>.md + the standing context, then drives that task set on its protected head branch per the Wave-N workflow. Use at the START of a parent session when the user types "/kickoff <uid>" / "run kickoff <uid>" / "begin <uid>" — it is the context-optimized instigator that fires a stowed kickoff in its own session.

/kickoff <UID>

The context-optimized instigator: one line starts a parent session on a stowed task set.

Resolve <UID> → read .claude/kickoffs/<UID>.md (the task-set brief). If <UID> is missing or the file doesn't exist, ls .claude/kickoffs/ and ask which.
Orient (lean): read .claude/agent-context.md (current state + post-compaction handoff); obey CLAUDE.md (house rules win); skim .claude/kickoffs/README.md for the multi-session + protected-head workflow. Do not re-read the whole corpus — pull targeted context as needed.
Set up the head: ensure your protected head branch (named in the kickoff) exists and is current with main (git fetch origin main → merge down, or scripts/sync-heads.sh <head>). Work sub-branches off the head; child branches merge freely (octopus/--no-ff, no PR); land a completed unit onto the head via a --no-ff PR (lineage preserved — heads never squash).
Execute the kickoff's task table in order, using the scoped swarm method it specifies (serial-on-mycelium-l1 / parallel-leaf octopus / fractured Opus reasoners) and the honesty rules (VR-5/G2, append-only, a property test per bound, flag-don't-guess on architecturally-significant choices). Pass the resolved model explicitly to every spawned agent; ensure each pushes before it completes (compaction orphans unpushed work — branches are the durable artifact).
Continuity: update each issue's status + body as it lands; honor the cross-session gates the kickoff names via the issues, never by touching another session's files.
Finish: when the task set is green on the head, it is ready for the final integration to main (/wave-land head→main squash-PR; then scripts/sync-heads.sh propagates the new main down). Only main squashes.
