name: start
description: Use when the user says just "capstone" with nothing else, or asks to start or continue the capstone pipeline - runs the greenfield chain one stage at a time, detecting completed stages and resuming at the first incomplete one. A stage word as the argument (mockup, logic, uiux, architecture, standards, stack, build) enters that one stage directly; "start stack refresh" re-vets recorded picks. The session review is not here - that is "review retro". Always asks subagents or inline before each new or resumed run.

# Capstone: start

Pipeline: `mockup -> logic -> uiux -> architecture -> standards -> stack -> build`.

From this skill's base directory, read `../core/references/core.md`
(this command routes rather than writes, so `core-authoring.md` is not
needed), then execute
`../core/references/protocols/start.md`
exactly.

With no argument, run the pipeline. With a stage word as the argument,
route straight to that stage's protocol per start.md's Routing section;
the stage words are the only subcommands, and no stage is a command of
its own.

Always ask subagents or inline at the start of each run, including
resumes and a directly entered stage. Wait for the explicit choice and
carry it through the whole pipeline, including research, readback and
build.
