Development Lifecycle

Auto-detect phase, guide process.

If the user says "plow ahead", "do not stop", "use your best judgment", "keep going until done", or similar, use /plow-ahead as the autonomy contract: make reversible assumptions, continue through routine ambiguity, and stop only for true blockers.

Ponytail default

Ponytail before implementation: run /deslop full (write mode) during planning and keep it active through /go: delete, stdlib, native, installed dependency, one-line before custom code.

Phases

0. Worktree (automatic, silent if already isolated)

Feature branch? Skip. On main/master/develop? Spawn worktree before code. [ETHOS: Worktree Isolation]

scripts/mux-worktree.sh <type>/<branch-name>

Claude invoke silent when phase 1 start on default branch. User never run.
