## Purpose

Initiate sprint execution. The orchestrator agent verifies approval, analyzes dependencies for parallel execution, searches relevant lessons, and coordinates task dispatch.

## Invocation

Run `/sprint-start` when ready to begin executing a planned sprint.

## Workflow

Execute the sprint start workflow:

1. **Verify Sprint Approval** (recommended) - Check milestone for approval record
2. **Detect Checkpoints** - Check for resume points from interrupted sessions
3. **Fetch Sprint Issues** - Get open issues from milestone
4. **Analyze Dependencies** - Use `get_execution_order` for parallel batches
5. **Search Relevant Lessons** - Find applicable past experiences
6. **Dispatch Tasks** - Parallel when safe, sequential when file conflicts exist

**File Conflict Prevention:** Before parallel dispatch, check target files for overlap. Sequentialize tasks that modify the same files.

**Branch Isolation:** Each task runs on its own branch (`feat/<issue>-<desc>`).

**Sequential Merge:** After completion, merge branches sequentially to detect conflicts.
