SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the execution of project tasks by generating a task-loop script that reads .claude/tasks.json and runs tasks via codex or claude. It enables hands-off task orchestration, ensures tasks run in sequence, and updates project state files.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Generate a task-loop.sh to autonomously execute tasks listed in .claude/tasks.json.
  • Integrate with Codex or Claude CLI to run each task with your preferred AI agent.
  • Verify success criteria after each task and update project state files and progress logs.
  • Use in automation pipelines or CI-like workflows to continuously process tasks with minimal manual input.
  • Use Case: A software project schedules weekly maintenance tasks; this Skill generates and runs the loop to process pending tasks automatically.

Quick Start

Use this skill to generate the task-loop.sh script for your project. After generation, make the script executable and run it to start processing tasks. Ensure .claude/tasks.json exists and that either codex or claude is installed on your system.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate task execution with Claude or Codex CLI?

Automate task execution by generating a task-loop script that reads .claude/tasks.json and sequentially runs tasks via Claude or Codex CLI. The script orchestrates hands-off processing, verifies success criteria, and updates project state files automatically.

What is a task-loop script for autonomous AI agent orchestration?

A task-loop script is an automation mechanism that reads tasks from .claude/tasks.json, selects the next actionable item, executes it using Claude or Codex, and verifies success criteria in sequence without manual intervention.

Do I need codex or claude installed to run autonomous project tasks?

Yes, you need either codex or claude installed on your system to execute tasks. The generated task-loop.sh script relies on these CLI agents to process tasks listed in your .claude/tasks.json file and verify their success criteria.

How do I set up project state files for hands-off task orchestration?

Set up project state files by creating a .claude/tasks.json file containing your task definitions and success criteria. The task-loop script reads this file, executes tasks in sequence, and automatically updates project state files and progress logs after each verification.

Can I use automated task execution for CI-like workflows and scheduled maintenance?

Yes, automated task execution fits CI-like workflows and scheduled maintenance. The task-loop script continuously processes pending tasks with minimal manual input, making it ideal for weekly maintenance or automation pipelines that require sequential task orchestration.
