new-track skillA

new-track is agent-read markdown (skill) from drafthq/draft: 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'..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns 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`:
