- This version is a temporary placeholder for this package. An operational version to replace this has been submitted for review and is awaiting a staged release.
3
+ `work` starts, runs, finishes, expires, retires and audits **area-based work**: one git worktree per area of the application, branches named `<type>/<area>`, every effort synced from the latest base branch before it begins, slots and ports handed out by one machine-wide registry, a scoped Storybook (via [`@helmsmith/storybrokr`](../storybrokr)) for frontend work and the project's own stack for full-stack work. It is a CLI, an MCP server and a skill over the same functions, built on [`@helmsmith/workkit`](../../platform/core/workkit-lib).
4
+
5
+ It exists because creating worktrees and stacks was easy and nothing ever closed the loop: dozens of merged worktrees, slots claimed by several checkouts, stacks running unattended for days, work that lived only on one machine, and a stray command that dialled the human's database. `work` makes finishing, expiring and auditing as cheap as starting, and turns the rules that used to live in memory notes into refusals.
6
+
7
+ ## Install
8
+
9
+ ```bash
10
+ npm i -g @helmsmith/workbrokr # provides `work` and `workbrokr`
11
+ npm i -g @helmsmith/storybrokr # only for --mode frontend
12
+ ```
13
+
14
+ Node 24 or newer. Manifests may be TypeScript (`helmsmith.config.ts`), ESM (`.mjs`) or JSON.
15
+
16
+ ## Set a project up
17
+
18
+ ```bash
19
+ cd <repo>
20
+ work init --project my-app --base-branch develop \
21
+ --service frontend=3000 --service backend=8443 --service postgres=5432 \
22
+ --storybook-host app-ui
23
+ ```
24
+
25
+ This writes `helmsmith.config.mjs` (edit the service commands, the scope templates, the areas and the commons), claims the project's port ranges in the registry so two projects on one machine never collide, and installs the git hooks under `.helmsmith/hooks` (commit them; each clone runs `work hooks install` once to point `core.hooksPath` at them).
26
+
27
+ ## Manifest reference
28
+
29
+ | Key | Meaning |
30
+ |---|---|
31
+ | `project` | lowercase name; the registry key |
32
+ | `baseBranch`, `protectedBranches` | efforts start from and sync with the base; commits on protected branches are refused (default: the base only) |
33
+ | `worktreeRoot` | where area worktrees live (`.claude/worktrees`); each area at `<root>/<area>` |
34
+ | `branch.types` | allowed branch types (`feature`, `chore`, `fix`) |
35
+ | `slots.count`, `slots.reserved` | how many slots; reserved ones (slot 0, the human's) are never leased |
36
+ | `ports.services.<name>.base` | the slot-0 port of each service; slot N uses `base + N`; the project claims `[base, base + count)` |
37
+ | `services.<name>.{start,stop,health,healthyCodes,reset,healthTimeoutMs}` | shell commands run in the worktree with `PORT_*`, `SLOT`, `LOG_DIR` in the environment; key order is start order; `health` is polled every second |
38
+ | `storybook.hostRoot` | the package whose `.storybook` storybrokr boots from |
39
+ | `logs.dir` | per-worktree log directory (`.logs`), one file per service plus `refresh.log` |
40
+ | `env.file`, `env.template` | the env file emitted per worktree from `${VAR}` placeholders (`SLOT`, `PORT_<SERVICE>`, `PORT_STORYBOOK`, `LOG_DIR`, `PROJECT`, `AREA`, `BRANCH`, `WORKTREE`) |
41
+ | `refresh[]` | `{ when: glob, run }` commands and `{ when, mark }` marks selected by the paths a sync changed; `{ always: true, run }` runs every time; the mark `db-reset` runs `services.postgres.reset` before a fullstack start |
42
+ | `scopes.frontend`, `scopes.backend` | glob templates with `{group}`, `{section}`, `{module}`; a frontend effort holds the first set, a fullstack effort both |
43
+ | `areas.<path>.{module,commons,extraScopes}` | leaves only (`shop/cart`, never `shop` and `shop/cart` together); `module` fills the backend templates; `commons` makes the area cross-cutting |
44
+ | `commons.<name>` | shared paths never held exclusively; a cross-cutting effort write-locks them briefly |
45
+ | `expiry.{slotHours,commonsHours,storybookHours}` | idle expiry per lease kind (12 / 4 / 2) |
46
+ | `archive.{paths,keepDays,keepPerArea}` | what `retire` copies out of the worktree into `.slot-archive/`, and for how long |
47
+
48
+ ## Verbs
49
+
50
+ - `work start --area <area> --type <type> --mode <fullstack|frontend> [--story <path>] [--join] [--no-sync]`: guards (area, type, mode, one open effort per area, scope overlap), the worktree, the branch, sync (fast-forward or merge, never rebase; a conflict stops before any lease), refresh, leases, config, run, record.
51
+ - `work status`, `work env`: what is open and the variables it runs with.
52
+ - `work finish [--park]`: stop only the pids the lease recorded, bring the Storybook down, release leases, push, leave commons notices; the worktree and branch stay.
53
+ - `work reap [--dry-run]`: the same for expired leases, parking the effort.
54
+ - `work retire`: archive, remove the worktree, delete the local branches that are on origin. The only destructive verb; refuses unpushed work.
55
+ - `work audit`: dirty or unpushed worktrees, foreign checkouts, aging leases, drift, stale notices, archive size.
56
+
57
+ Exit codes: 0 ok, 2 refused (first stderr line is the reason; `--json` prints `{ code, message, details }`), 1 error. The registry is `$HELMSMITH_HOME/registry.json`, default `~/.cache/helmsmith`, written atomically under a lock.
58
+
59
+ ## What this phase does not do yet
60
+
61
+ - Frontend mode does not lease a Storybook port: storybrokr allocates its own and the lease records the instance id and port.
62
+ - Impact notices are commons-based ("commons auth changed on fix/platform/auth"); an import-graph version is planned.
63
+ - The full-stack runner spawns the manifest's commands itself; `stackbrokr` (a daemon with the same manifest) replaces it in a later phase without changing the manifest.
64
+
65
+ ## Security note
66
+
67
+ The hooks under `.helmsmith/hooks` are tracked files that run on every committer's machine, exactly like husky's. The protected-branch rule is enforced by the scripts themselves (the list is baked in at install time), so it holds in a GUI client or a shell without `workbrokr`; only the commons and scope checks need the binary and are skipped with a warning without it. Review changes to that directory as you would any executable.

+ description: Start, run, finish and audit area-based work with `work` (@helmsmith/workbrokr). Fires when the user wants to begin an effort on a part of the application ("start work on applications", "new effort on org/team", "open the cart area"), needs a slot or a running stack for a worktree, asks which slot or worktree to use, wants to finish or park an effort, or asks to clean up, retire or audit worktrees and slots. One worktree per area, branches are <type>/<area>, every effort starts from the latest base branch, no work ever happens on develop. CLI (`work start|status|finish|reap|retire|audit|env`) and MCP tools (`work_start`, `work_status`, `work_finish`, `work_reap`, `work_audit`, `work_env`).

+ # work
7
+
8
+ `work` owns the lifecycle of a piece of work in a repo that has a `helmsmith.config.{ts,mjs,json}`: it creates or reuses the **area's** worktree on a `<type>/<area>` branch, syncs it from the base branch, refreshes it, leases what the mode needs (a **slot** for `fullstack`, a storybrokr instance for `frontend`), writes the per-worktree config, runs it, and later finishes, expires, retires and audits it. State lives in one registry under `~/.cache/helmsmith`.
9
+
10
+ ## Rules an agent applies before calling it
11
+
12
+ - **Never commit on the base branch** (`develop` here) or on `stage`/`prod`: the hooks refuse, and the main checkout is a mirror. Work only inside the worktree `work start` prints.
13
+ - **Pick the area from the manifest** (`work status --json` lists them). Areas are leaves like `org/applications`; the branch becomes `feature|chore|fix/<area>`.
14
+ - **Pick the type by intent** (`feature` new behaviour, `fix` a defect, `chore` tooling/docs) and **the mode by what you must run**: `fullstack` when the backend or database is involved, `frontend` when a scoped Storybook is enough (add `--story <path>` to boot one).
15
+ - **Read refusals, do not bypass them.** Exit code 2 is a rule saying no; the first stderr line (or the JSON `code`) says which:
16
+ - `EFFORT_OPEN`: someone holds this area (the message names the session). Ask, wait, or `--join` to work in the same checkout on purpose.
17
+ - `SCOPE_CONFLICT`: another effort holds overlapping paths. Pick another area or wait for it to finish.
18
+ - `SYNC_CONFLICT`: the merge from the base branch conflicts. Resolve it in the worktree the message names, commit, rerun with `--no-sync`.
19
+ - `DIRTY_WORKTREE` on finish: commit, or `work finish --park` to commit as `wip(<area>)` and push.
20
+ - `COMMONS_LOCKED` at commit time: a cross-cutting effort owns that shared code for a few hours; wait or coordinate.
21
+ - **Subagents** spawned from the worktree work inside the same effort (same branch, same leases, same session). They must not create their own git worktrees (no `isolation: "worktree"`); a subagent that needs its own stack starts its own effort with `work start` or joins this one with `--join`.
22
+ - **Never run the project's tools from outside the worktree** and never bypass `make`/`work` to reach a port directly: slot 0's ports belong to the human.
23
+
24
+ ## The loop
25
+
26
+ 1. `work status --json` → what is open, by whom, and which areas exist.
27
+ 2. `work start --area <area> --type <type> --mode <fullstack|frontend> [--story <path>] --json` → the effort record, the worktree path, the leases (ports under `leases[].ports`). `cd` into `effort.worktree`.
28
+ 3. Work there. `work env --area <area>` prints `PORT_*`, `SLOT`, `LOG_DIR`, `MODE` when a tool needs them. Service logs are in `<worktree>/.logs/<service>.log`.
29
+ 4. `work finish --area <area>` (or `--park`) when done: the runner stops, leases are released, the branch is pushed; the worktree and branch stay for the next effort. Open the PR from the branch.
30
+ 5. `work retire --area <area>` only when an area is being removed for good (archives evidence first; refuses unpushed work).
31
+ 6. `work reap` expires idle leases; `work audit --json` lists unsaved or unpushed work, stray worktrees, aging leases, drift and stale notices.
32
+
33
+ ## Commands
34
+
35
+ | Command | Purpose |
36
+ |---|---|
37
+ | `work init --project <name> --service name=port… [--base-branch b] [--storybook-host dir] [--no-hooks] [--force]` | Write a starter manifest, claim the port ranges, install the hooks |
38
+ | `work hooks install [--project-root dir]` | Install the hooks in a clone whose manifest already exists |
39
+ | `work start --area a --type t --mode m [--story p] [--join] [--no-sync] [--json]` | Begin (or join) an effort |
40
+ | `work status [--area a] [--json]` | Efforts, leases, drift, notices |
41
+ | `work env (--area a \| --slot n) [--json]` | Slot-derived variables |
42
+ | `work finish --area a [--park] [--json]` | Stop, release, push |
43
+ | `work reap [--dry-run] [--json]` | Expire idle leases |
44
+ | `work retire --area a [--json]` | Archive and remove an area's worktree (destructive) |
45
+ | `work audit [--json]` | What would otherwise be forgotten |
46
+ | `work mcp` | MCP stdio server |
47
+
48
+ Every command takes `--project-root <dir>`; without it the repo is the main checkout of the current directory. Exit codes: 0 ok, 2 refused, 1 error.
