title: Work system v1 (MVP) — state tracking + pnpm work CLI
type: epic
status: done

## Goal
Filesystem-only state tracking for `docs/work/` + a `pnpm work` CLI with
status / next / rebuild-state subcommands. Foundation for future
orchestration; no agent dispatch in v1.

## Why
Agents and humans both need a fast way to see "what's the next unblocked
work?" and "where are we?" — without scanning every story file by hand.

## Out of scope (v2+)
- Sandcastle / agent dispatch
- PRD and ADR elicitation skills
- Decomposer / implementer / reviewer prompts
- DAG analysis (depends-on / blocks)
- Pre-commit hooks (the state file is rebuilt manually for now)
