### Subcommands

| Command | Description |

| `progress` | Progress summary across all workstreams |
| `complete <name>` | Archive a completed workstream |

## Step 1: Parse Subcommand

Parse the user's input to determine which workstream operation to perform.
If no subcommand given, default to `list`.

## Step 2: Execute Operation

### list
Run: `node "$TOOLS" workstream list --raw --cwd "$CWD"`
Display the workstreams in a table format showing name, status, current phase, and progress.

### create
Run: `node "$TOOLS" workstream create <name> --raw --cwd "$CWD"`
After creation, display the new workstream path and suggest next steps:
- `/new-milestone --ws <name>` to set up the milestone

### status
Run: `node "$TOOLS" workstream status <name> --raw --cwd "$CWD"`
Display detailed phase breakdown and state information.

### switch
Run: `node "$TOOLS" workstream set <name> --raw --cwd "$CWD"`
Also set `WORKSTREAM` env var for the current session.

### progress

Display a progress overview across all workstreams.

### complete

Archive the workstream to milestones/.

### resume
