source-command-start-project

name	source-command-start-project
description	Enforce the human-approved project-name gate before creating a new product, application, service, library, tool, repository, or implementing an idea. Use when starting new project work or when another workflow is about to generate a project.

Start Project

Read AGENTS.md and docs/agent/START_PROJECT.md completely before taking any project-creation action.

Required Process

1. Inspect the request and any existing repository using read-only operations.
2. Determine whether the human supplied an unambiguous project name or the existing repository already establishes one.
3. If no name is established, ask: What should the project be called?
4. Immediately stop and wait. Do not write code, create files, initialize a repository, generate an archive, or choose technical identifiers while the name is unresolved.
5. After the human supplies the name, record the approved display name and derive technical identifiers according to docs/agent/NAMING.md.
6. Read the remaining guides selected by the task-routing table and continue with the appropriate implementation or design workflow.
7. When this repository is an external authority, report the exact revision and routed guides actually read before implementation.

Output Contract

Before implementation, state the approved project name and the repository revision used as engineering authority. If the name is missing, the only final result of this workflow is the blocking name question; implementation has not started.
