SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

The full AI-DLC pipeline (Idea → Elaboration → Proposal → Approval) adds planning overhead that slows down small, well-understood work like bug fixes and hotfixes. This Skill lets agents create tasks directly, implement them, and verify completion through structured acceptance criteria without waiting for proposal review.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Direct Task Creation: Create standalone quick tasks or attach them to an existing proposal via chorus_create_tasks, with mandatory acceptance criteria enforced at creation time.
  • Structured Execution Lifecycle: Claim tasks, report progress with session attribution for subagents, self-check acceptance criteria, and submit for verification using Chorus MCP tools.
  • Permission-Aware Verification: Agents with explicit task:admin permission verify autonomously after an independent task review passes; others post an evidence-rich handoff comment and @mention the responsible human.
  • Use Case: A Safari login redirect bug needs an urgent fix. The agent creates a quick task with testable acceptance criteria, implements the SameSite cookie fix, self-checks each criterion, passes independent review, and verifies the task — all without drafting a proposal.

Quick Start

Ask the agent to create a quick task in Chorus for a small bug fix with specific acceptance criteria, then implement it and submit it for verification.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a quick task in Chorus without a proposal?

Call chorus_create_tasks with the project UUID and omit the proposalUuid field. Every task must include at least one non-blank acceptance criterion, or the creation call rejects the entire batch.

When should I use quick tasks instead of the full Chorus proposal workflow?

Use quick tasks for bug fixes with clear reproduction steps, features under 2 story points, hotfixes, and exploratory work. Use the full Idea and Proposal flow when work needs a PRD, tech design, stakeholder elaboration, or multiple interdependent tasks.

Can an agent verify its own task in Chorus?

Only when chorus_checkin shows the agent's permissions explicitly include task:admin. Without it, the agent must post an evidence-rich comment with AC results and review verdicts, then @mention the responsible human to perform admin verification.

Why does chorus_create_tasks reject my task?

The most common cause is missing or blank acceptance criteria, which are mandatory at creation time. Write specific, testable criteria such as observable API responses rather than vague statements like works correctly.

Can quick tasks be attached to an existing Chorus proposal?

Yes, pass the proposalUuid to chorus_create_tasks to attach the task to an existing proposal. This is useful for gap-filling, follow-up patches, or continuing work after a proposal's initial tasks are delivered.
