PRD Start - Begin Implementation Work

Instructions

You are helping initiate active implementation work on a specific Product Requirements Document (PRD). This command sets up the implementation context (validates readiness, creates branch, prepares environment) then hands off to /prd-next for task identification.

Forge-agnostic: The gh commands below are GitHub examples. Detect the forge from git remote get-url origin and use the matching CLI, mapping each verb to its equivalent: GitHub → gh; GitLab → glab (a PR is a merge request, glab mr …); Forgejo/Gitea → tea. If the needed CLI is missing, tell the user and link its install page.

IMPORTANT: Do NOT include time estimates or effort estimates in your responses. Focus on setup and readiness without speculating on duration.

Process Overview

Select Target PRD - Identify which PRD to implement
Validate PRD Readiness - Ensure the PRD is ready for implementation
Set Up Implementation Context - Create branch and prepare environment
Hand Off to prd-next - Delegate task identification to the appropriate prompt
