SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Automatically organize and track long-running, multi-step work items across sessions, ensuring tasks persist beyond a single run and subtasks stay linked.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Lifecycle-managed brain tasks with automatic kernel support for active Overmind runs.
  • Create, update, and close tasks; associate subtasks and events; generate and track dependencies.
  • Use case: coordinate cross-team research spikes or bug triage that spans sessions.

Quick Start

Create a new brain task with a descriptive title and optional description to begin cross-session tracking.

FAQPage Schema
How do I track multi-step work across sessions?

To track multi-step work across sessions, this Skill organizes and manages brain tasks that persist beyond a single run. It ensures subtasks stay linked and dependencies are coordinated throughout the task lifecycle.

What is lifecycle tracking for cross-session tasks?

Lifecycle tracking for cross-session tasks is the process of managing items from creation to closure across multiple runs. It involves associating subtasks, generating dependencies, and handling events to ensure continuous progress on long-running work.

Can I coordinate bug triage and research spikes that span multiple sessions?

Yes, you can coordinate bug triage and research spikes spanning multiple sessions by creating brain tasks with descriptive titles. The system automatically tracks dependencies and subtask associations until the work is closed.

How do I create and manage tasks with kernel auto-lifecycle integration?

To create and manage tasks with kernel auto-lifecycle integration, simply create a new brain task with a title and optional description. The kernel automatically supports active Overmind runs by handling task updates, closures, and event tracking.

What is the best way to maintain linked subtasks for long-running work items?

The best way to maintain linked subtasks for long-running work items is using a task-management system that persists data across sessions. This approach ensures subtasks remain associated with their parent tasks throughout the dependency coordination process.
