Implementation Reference
- src/tools/workflow.ts:6-41 (handler)The main handler function implementing the tool logic: generates a unique session ID, loads the 'ask-goal.md' template, and returns the formatted workflow start message with stage information and instructions.
export async function workflowStart(): Promise<string> { const session_id = generateSessionId(); console.error(`[MCP] Starting workflow with session_id: ${session_id}`); // Use ask-goal.md template const template = await readTemplate('ask-goal.md', { session_id }); return `# 🚀 Spec-driven Development Workflow Started ## Current Stage: Goal Collection (1/5) Welcome to the Spec-driven development workflow! I'll help you complete the entire development process from requirements to code. ### Workflow Overview: - [ ] 1. **Goal Collection** ← Current Stage - [ ] 2. Requirements Gathering - [ ] 3.
