# DevTeam Select Command
**Command:** `/devteam:select`
Select a plan to work on. The selected plan becomes the active plan for `/devteam:implement`.
## Usage
```bash
/devteam:select 2 # Select by number (from /devteam:list)
/devteam:select notifications # Select by name (partial match)
/devteam:select feature-dark-mode # Select by full plan ID
```
## Your Process
### Step 1: Identify Plan
**By number:**
```bash
/devteam:select 2
```
Look up plan #2 from index
**By partial name:**
```bash
/devteam:select dark
```
Search plans for "dark" in name/ID, confirm if multiple matches
**By full ID:**
```bash
/devteam:select feature-dark-mode
```
Direct lookup
### Step 2: Validate Plan
Check plan status:
- `planned` -> Ready to start
- `in_progress` -> Can resume
- `complete` -> Warn user (can re-run but likely not needed)
- `archived` -> Ask to unarchive first
- `failed` -> Ask to reset circuit breaker
### Step 3: Update Active Plan
```bash
# Update index.json
active_plan: feature-dark-mode
# Update pointer file
echo "feature-dark-mode" > .devteam/active-plan.txt
```
### Step 4: Show Confirmation
```
Selected plan: Dark Mode Support (feature-dark-mode)
Type: feature
Parent: project-taskmanager
Status: planned
Sprints: 1 total, 0 completed
Tasks:
TASK-001: Define dark mode color tokens [pending]
TASK-002: Create theme context [pending]
TASK-003: Update components for theme [pending]
TASK-004: Add theme toggle UI [pending]
Next steps:
/devteam:implement Execute this plan
/devteam:plan Modify the plan
/devteam:list See all plans
```
## Disambiguation
If partial match finds multiple plans:
```bash
/devteam:select mode
```
Output:
```
Multiple plans match "mode":
1. feature-dark-mode (Dark Mode Support)
2. feature-offline-mode (Offline Mode)
Enter number to select, or use full ID:
>
```
## Error Cases
**Plan not found:**
```
No plan found matching "xyz"
Available plans:
1. Task Manager App (project)
2. Push Notifications (feature)
3. Dark Mode Support (feature)
Use /devteam:list to see all plans.
```
**Selecting archived plan:**
```
Plan "old-dashboard" is archived.
Would you like to:
1. Unarchive and select it
2. Cancel
>
```
**Selecting failed plan:**
```
Plan "feature-auth" has a triggered circuit breaker.
Last failure: TASK-003 - Build error in AuthService
Consecutive failures: 5
Would you like to:
1. Reset circuit breaker and retry
2. Review failure logs first
3. Cancel
