Start a new feature or bug track. Collaborative intake process with structured questions, AI guidance, and progressive refinement before generating spec.md and plan.md. Use when the user asks to 'start a new track', 'create a feature track', 'add a bug fix track', or says 'I want to build X', 'fix the Y bug', 'plan a refactor'.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Create New Track

Create a new track (feature, bug fix, or refactor) for Context-Driven Development. This is a **collaborative process** — be an active participant providing guidance, fact-checking, and expertise grounded in vetted sources.

**Feature Description:** $ARGUMENTS

## Red Flags - STOP if you're

- Creating a track without reading existing Draft context (product.md, tech-stack.md, .ai-context.md)
- Asking questions without contributing expertise or trade-off analysis
- Rushing through intake without probing deeper with "why"
- Generating spec/plan without user confirmation at checkpoints
- Skipping risk identification
- Not citing sources when giving architectural advice

**Collaborative understanding, not speed.**

---

## Pre-Check

1. Verify Draft is initialized:

```bash
ls draft/product.md draft/tech-stack.md draft/workflow.md draft/tracks.md 2>/dev/null
```

If missing, tell user: "Project not initialized. Run `/draft:init` first."

2. Check for `--quick` flag in `$ARGUMENTS`:

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add drafthq/draft/new-track@sha256:b2bfbd9238e503b6

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260819.fda278e, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
