Description
Use when starting AI development sessions, resuming interrupted work, managing multi-session projects, or orchestrating work with human checkpoint control (supervised, semi-auto, auto, or unattended modes).

Work Session

Orchestrate AI-assisted development with configurable human control, using ohno for task management via MCP.

When NOT to Use

  • Planning work — Use planning to create epics/stories/tasks before starting sessions
  • Quick one-off tasks — Use /quick for simple tasks that don't need the full subagent pipeline
  • Revising a plan — Use plan-revision to modify scope, dependencies, or task hierarchy
  • Running a spike — Use spike for time-boxed investigation before committing to implementation

Key Principles

  • Fresh context per task via subagent dispatch (no context degradation)
  • Configurable checkpoint control: supervised, semi-auto, auto, or unattended
  • Smart worktree isolation by task type (feature/bug → worktree, chore/docs → in-place)
  • Hooks handle lifecycle automatically (sync, commit, tests)
  • ohno MCP provides session continuity across conversations

Quick Start Checklist

  1. Initialize ohno: npx @stevestomp/ohno-cli init
  2. Get session context: MCP get_session_context()
  3. Get next task: MCP get_next_task()
  4. Dispatch subagent for implementation
  5. Review results at checkpoints (based on mode)

Operating Modes

| Mode | Task Complete | Story Complete | Epic Complete | |------|--------------|----------------|---------------| | supervised | PAUSE | PAUSE | PAUSE | | semi-auto | log | PAUSE | PAUSE | | auto | skip | log | PAUSE | | unattended | skip | skip | skip |
