SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Read subtask.md checkbox state and route to the next skill. The ONLY routing point in the execution loop.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Reads subtask.md checkbox state to determine the next action in the execution chain.
  • Routes to the next required skill (code, test, gate-check, or subtask-update) without modifying source files.
  • Handles context loss by re-reading state and preserving loop safety, with clear guidance when multiple subtasks are found or when manual resolution is needed.

Quick Start

Run autoworker:dispatch to route the current subtask to the next required skill based on its status.

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate workflow routing based on subtask state?

Route tasks through the autoworker loop by inspecting subtask.md status fields and gate results to determine the next action, invoking the appropriate skill based on fixed priority.

What is a state machine approach for subtask execution loops?

A state machine approach for subtask execution reads status fields to determine the next action, routing to code, test, gate-check, or subtask-update skills based on fixed priority without running code directly.

How do I determine the next action in an automation workflow without losing context?

Preserve loop safety by re-reading subtask.md state to determine the next action, providing clear guidance when multiple active subtasks are found or when manual resolution is needed.

Can I use a routing skill to run tests or modify source code directly?

No, this routing skill does not modify source files, run tests, or execute code; it only reads state and invokes autoworker skills like code, test, gate-check, or subtask-update as appropriate.

What happens when multiple active subtasks are found during workflow routing?

When multiple active subtasks are found during workflow routing, the system provides clear guidance for manual resolution rather than automatically choosing one, ensuring safe execution loop handling.
