archive-task

This Skill automates atomic updates to both files in a single Git commit when a task reaches COMPLETE status and is merged to main. It validates preconditions, marks the task complete in todo.md, formats and adds an entry to changelog.md, then commits both changes together to avoid fragmented commits.

Yes. This Skill ensures todo.md and changelog.md stay synchronized by performing both updates atomically in one commit. It eliminates the risk of missed updates or inconsistent project tracking that occurs when these files are edited separately.

The Skill verifies the task is in COMPLETE state and has been merged to main before proceeding. This precondition validation prevents archiving incomplete or unmerged work and guarantees changelog entries reflect only shipped changes.

The Skill automatically formats new changelog entries with the date, task name, and extracted changes from the merge commit message. You can supply changes directly or let it parse them from the commit, then it adds the formatted entry to changelog.md.

Atomic commits prevent split commits where todo.md and changelog.md get out of sync if one update fails or is reverted. A single commit guarantees both files reflect the task status consistently and project documentation remains reliable.

Yes. This Skill integrates with Git workflows where tasks are tracked in todo.md, changes are documented in changelog.md, and completed work is merged to main. It fits teams using Git for version control and file-based documentation.
