Next Phase Number

How to Find Next ID

Run this command to determine the next available phase number:

current=$(ls -1 .ushabti/phases/ 2>/dev/null | sed 's/-.*//' | sort -n | tail -1)
if [ -z "$current" ]; then
  echo "0001 (first phase)"
else
  printf "%04d (after %s)\n" $((10#$current + 1)) "$current"
fi

Phase Numbering Convention

Phase IDs are 4-digit, zero-padded integers:
```
0001
```
,
```
0002
```
,
```
0003
```
, ...
Combined with a slug:
```
0001-initial-setup
```
,
```
0002-add-auth
```
, ...

Creating the Directory

Once you have the next number and a slug:

mkdir -p .ushabti/phases/NNNN-your-slug

Replace

NNNN

with the next ID and

your-slug

with a short, lowercase, hyphenated description.
