SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Batch Develop automates the sequential development of backlog items by reading from /tmp/notes.md or a given list of issue numbers, launching a full development cycle per item, with separate branches and PRs, and ensuring isolation between items.

Core Features & Use Cases

Orchestrates per-item development cycles via the /develop workflow, creating isolated branches, PRs, and test cycles for each item.
Supports both direct argument input and file-based input through /tmp/notes.md, with progress tracking and recovery.
Provides progress reporting, task tracking, and a final summary, with recovery via TaskList after context compression.

Quick Start

Provide issue numbers or populate /tmp/notes.md and run the Batch Develop skill to execute each item through its complete development lifecycle.

FAQPage Schema

How do I automate sequential development for multiple backlog items?▼

You can automate sequential development by providing issue numbers or populating /tmp/notes.md, which triggers a full development cycle for each backlog item with isolated branches and pull requests.

What is the best way to process a list of git issues in isolation?▼

Batch processing git issues uses a sequential execution model where each issue gets its own branch and PR, ensuring complete isolation throughout the development lifecycle from resolution to merge.

How do I run a batch development pipeline from markdown notes?▼

Running a batch development pipeline from markdown notes requires populating /tmp/notes.md with your backlog items, which the system reads to launch individual development cycles with progress tracking and recovery support.

Can I recover batch development progress after context compression?▼

Recovery after context compression is supported via TaskList tracking, which allows the batch development pipeline to resume sequential execution of remaining backlog items without losing completed progress.

Does batch processing backlog items support direct issue number input?▼

Direct issue number input is supported alongside file-based input through /tmp/notes.md, allowing you to pass a list of issue numbers as arguments to initiate sequential development cycles.

What are the limitations of automating issue tracking through batch development?▼

Automating issue tracking through batch development is limited to sequential execution rather than parallel processing, ensuring each item runs in isolation but requiring completed lifecycle handling before the next item begins.
