Start or refresh the active task
Create or update .claude/work/active.md from .claude/work/active.template.md.
- Inspect
git status --short, current branch/worktree, and any existing active packet.
- Normalize
$ARGUMENTS into an observable goal and explicit non-goals.
- Identify the accepted language/design/CLI contract and whether the authority surface is native Rust,
frozen Python compatibility/LSP, WASM, or documentation/skills.
- Inspect only the implementation and tests required to establish current state. For broad exploration,
delegate to
fsl-codebase-explorer and retain only its evidence summary.
- Record invariants, exact repository-relative evidence, expected scope, sibling paths, verification
commands, uncertainty, and the first next action.
- Compare the packet with the working tree. Remove stale claims and never mark a change or test complete
without direct evidence.
- Stop after writing the task packet. Do not implement the task in this skill invocation.
Do not copy raw logs, conversation narration, absolute machine paths, or unverified hypotheses into the
packet. A human should be able to resume from this file, Git, and accepted design documents alone.
