Create New Expedition

Create New Expedition

Create a new expedition with properly allocated ID to prevent conflicts between agents.

Steps

1. Allocate ID

CRITICAL: Always allocate the ID first to prevent duplicates:

yurtle-kanban next-id EXP --json

This atomically allocates the next available ID (e.g., EXP-720).

2. Create Expedition File

Create kanban-work/​expeditions/​EXP-XXX-Title.md with this template:

---
yurtle: v1.3
id: EXP-XXX
type: expedition
title: "EXP-XXX: $ARGUMENTS"
status: ready
priority: MEDIUM
created: YYYY-MM-DD
assignee: TBD
tags: []
depends_on: []
---

# EXP-XXX: $ARGUMENTS

3. IMMEDIATELY Commit and Push

CRITICAL: Push the expedition file immediately to prevent conflicts:

git add kanban-work/​expeditions/​EXP-XXX-*.md
git commit -m "feat(kanban): create EXP-XXX expedition"
git push

The next-id command only reserves the ID. If you don't push the file, other agents won't see it and may create conflicting work.

4. Update Kanban Status

Explicitly set the kanban status so other agents can see it:

yurtle-kanban move EXP-XXX ready

5. Confirm Creation

Show the created expedition and suggest next steps:

• Review and fill in details
• Set priority and assignee
• Add dependencies if any
• Run /​work EXP-XXX to start working on it
