Step 1: Load Current Context

python3 ./.trellis/scripts/get_context.py

Confirms: current task, git state, recent commits.

Step 2: Load the Phase Index

python3 ./.trellis/scripts/get_context.py --mode phase

Shows the Phase Index (Plan / Execute / Finish) with routing + skill mapping.

Step 3: Decide Where You Are

`get_context.py` shows the active task's `status` field. Route by `status` + artifact presence. This command replaces the user needing to remember the Trellis flow; it does not itself approve implementation.

  • `status=planning` + no `prd.md` → **1.1** (load `trellis-brainstorm`)
  • `status=planning` + `prd.md` only → decide whether the task is lightweight or complex. Lightweight can move to **1.4** review; complex returns to **1.1** to add `design.md` + `implement.md`.
  • `status=planning` + complex artifacts complete + sub-agent jsonl not curated (only the seed `_example` row) → **1.3**
  • `status=planning` + required artifacts complete + required jsonl curated or inline mode → **1.4** (ask for start review; only run `task.py start` after user confirms)
  • `status=in_progress` + implementation not started → **2.1**
  • `status=in_progress` + implementation done, not yet checked → **2.2**
  • `status=in_progress` + check passed → **3.3** (spec update) → **3.4** (commit)
  • `status=completed` (rare; usually archived immediately) → archive flow

Phase rules (full detail in `.trellis/workflow.md`):

1. Run steps **in order** within a phase — `[required]` steps must not be skipped 2. `[once]` steps are already done if the required output exists. `prd.md` alone can be enough only for lightweight tasks; complex tasks also need `design.md` and `implement.md`. 3. You may go back to an earlier phase if discoveries require it

Step 4: Load the Specific Step

Once you know which step to resume at:

python3 ./.trellis/scripts/get_context.py --mode phase --step <X.X> --platform claude

Follow the loaded instructions. After each `[required]` step completes, move to the next.
