What it does

How to trigger

In Codex:
- ctx-start <workstream>
- ctx-start --pull <workstream> (also ingests current chat)
- --pull can appear before or after the workstream name
Run from terminal:
- bash ./scripts/skills/ctx_start.sh --pull my-workstream
- ctx-start my-workstream
- python3 scripts/ctx_cmd.py start my-workstream --format markdown

Requirements

If the requested workstream name already exists, ctx automatically creates name (1), name (2), and so on.
Use ctx resume <workstream> to continue an existing workstream.
Python 3.9+
