Start work on a PBI - set it to doing and issue the convention-compliant work branch name (pbi/<id>-<slug>). Use when a developer picks up a backlog item, or asks which branch name to use for a PBI.
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
# Start a PBI The branch-naming convention is enforced here, at the moment work begins — it is what later links merged code back to the PBI (`sync-project-repos.mjs` extracts ids from merge subjects). ## Steps 1. Resolve the project and PBI (by id like `P-0012`, or by title search in `backlog/items/`). 2. **Update the PBI file**: `status: doing`, `assignee: <me>` (from `<team-context>`), `updated: <date>`; mirror the status in `product-backlog.md`. 3. **Issue the branch name**: `pbi/<id-lowercase>-<slug>` (e.g. `pbi/p-0012-user-login`), slug from the item filename. State it clearly and remind: merge/PR titles into the project's dev-main branch must carry the id (branch name or a `[P-0012]` tag). 4. If asked, create the branch in the user's own checkout of the relevant repo (`repos` frontmatter / project.json), cut from the project's **devMainBranch** — never in the script-owned mirror under `repoWorkspacesRoot`. 5. Append an activity-log line (`- <date> [<agent>/<me>] start-pbi: P-0012 → doing, branch pbi/p-0012-...`).

How to install
mdr add atman-33/workhub/start-pbi@sha256:f5d3e6766c31c113The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260720.f88c2b0, 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.
