Track Issue Flow

Follow this workflow when handling issue work in repositories that use the track CLI.

Standard Workflow

1. Identify candidate issues.

   • Run track list.
   • If the user refers to an item by list position (for example, "5"), map it to the exact issue ID in the current output before acting.

2. Confirm issue scope.

   • Run track show <issue-id>.
   • Extract status, priority, labels, and notes to understand expectations and missing details.

3. Start execution with explicit state changes.

   • When work begins, set status to active (in_progress) using track set.
   • Keep user-facing updates aligned with tracker state.
