Next Phase Number
How to Find Next ID
Run this command to determine the next available phase number:
current=$(ls -1 .ushabti/phases/ 2>/dev/null | sed 's/-.*//' | sort -n | tail -1)
if [ -z "$current" ]; then
echo "0001 (first phase)"
else
printf "%04d (after %s)\n" $((10#$current + 1)) "$current"
fi
Phase Numbering Convention
- Phase IDs are 4-digit, zero-padded integers:
0001, 0002, 0003, ...
- Combined with a slug:
0001-initial-setup, 0002-add-auth, ...
Creating the Directory
Once you have the next number and a slug:
mkdir -p .ushabti/phases/NNNN-your-slug
Replace NNNN with the next ID and your-slug with a short, lowercase, hyphenated description.
