start-feature

start-feature is a command for Claude Code from bijutharakan/multi-agent-squad. It costs 23 tokens per session (584 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that starts a software feature project by collecting requirements, creating a GitHub issue, preparing separate workspaces, and assigning coding agents.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to start features, record their requirements, identify affected parts of a project, create worktrees, and begin multi-agent development.
Why use it?
It organizes the early work needed before development begins and keeps the feature tracked.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

start-feature scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Start Feature Command

This command initiates a new feature development with full Multi-Agent Squad orchestration.

What This Command Does

  1. Gathers Requirements - Prompts for feature details
  2. Creates GitHub Issue - Tracks the feature (if integrated)
  3. Analyzes Impact - Determines which repositories are affected
  4. Creates Worktrees - Sets up isolated development environments
  5. Assigns Agents - Deploys appropriate specialists
  6. Begins Development - Kicks off implementation

Usage

Simply say:

  • /start-feature
  • "Start a new feature"
  • "I want to add [feature description]"

Interactive Process

I'll ask you:

  1. Feature Name (kebab-case, e.g., "user-authentication")
  2. Feature Description (what should it do?)
  3. User Story (as a user, I want...)
  4. Affected Components (or I'll analyze)
  5. Priority (high/medium/low)
  6. Target Deadline (optional)

Example Flow

You: /start-feature

Me: Let's start a new feature! What would you like to call it?

You: payment-integration

Me: Great! Please describe what this feature should do.

You: Add Stripe payment processing for subscriptions

Me: I'll analyze which repositories this affects...
- Backend: API endpoints for payment processing
- Frontend: Payment forms and subscription management
- Database: Schema updates for subscriptions

Creating worktrees:
✓ backend/feature-payment-integration
✓ frontend/feature-payment-integration

Assigning agents:
- Backend Developer Agent → Payment API
- Frontend Developer Agent → Payment UI
- Database Expert → Schema updates

GitHub Issue #47 created: "Feature: Payment Integration"

Ready to begin development! The PM Agent will now create detailed requirements.

What Happens Next

  1. Product Manager Agent creates detailed requirements
  2. Solution Architect designs the implementation
  3. Developers work in their assigned worktrees
  4. Progress is tracked in GitHub
  5. PRs are created when ready
  6. Review by senior engineers
  7. Merge and cleanup when complete

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
