SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill eliminates the need for time-consuming formal council reviews for routine thread resolutions, and automates the application of pending governance lifecycle verdicts (such as ownership transfers or triage decisions) that would otherwise require manual, error-prone state updates across channel files.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Informal Thread Resolution: Mark active threads as resolved without a formal council review, automatically triggering a 60-minute archive timer to keep workspaces clean.
  • Lifecycle Verdict Application: Atomically apply pending governance verdicts (OWNERSHIP_TRANSFER, TRIAGE_ACCEPT, TRIAGE_REJECT) to channel state, with automatic file renaming to mark verdicts as consumed and prevent duplicate processing.
  • MAD Task Integration: Automatically check off referenced task IDs in tasks.md for MAD-enabled channels when resolving threads, reducing manual follow-up work.
  • Use Case: A software engineering team using the MAD Council governance system can use this skill to quickly close out completed feature threads or apply a pending triage accept verdict to move a work item to "ready" status without scheduling a full council review session.

Quick Start

Use the council-resolve skill to resolve the active thread "v4-aligned-training" in the es-training channel with a summary noting all seed runs are complete and tasks T003 through T006 are finished.

Frequently Asked Questions about council-resolve

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I close governance threads without a formal council review?▼

Thread resolution without formal council review is achieved by marking active threads as resolved, which automatically triggers a 60-minute archive timer to keep workspaces clean and applies pending lifecycle verdicts atomically.

How does atomic channel state update work when applying pending lifecycle verdicts?▼

Atomic channel state updates apply pending governance verdicts like OWNERSHIP_TRANSFER or TRIAGE_ACCEPT to channel state safely, automatically renaming files to mark verdicts as consumed and prevent duplicate processing or concurrency conflicts.

Can I automate task checkoff in tasks.md when resolving MAD-enabled channel threads?▼

Yes, MAD task integration automatically extracts referenced task IDs and checks them off in tasks.md when resolving threads in MAD-enabled channels, eliminating manual follow-up work for completed feature tasks.

What is the best way to process ownership transfers in a MAD Council workflow?▼

Processing ownership transfers is handled by applying pending OWNERSHIP_TRANSFER verdicts atomically to channel state, ensuring concurrency safety and compliance with governance rules without scheduling a full council review session.

Do I need a formal council session to apply triage decisions to channel state?▼

No, applying triage decisions does not require a formal council session; pending TRIAGE_ACCEPT or TRIAGE_REJECT verdicts can be applied directly to channel state with automatic file renaming to prevent duplicate processing.
