FAQPage Schema
How do I automate picking the next pending task from tasks.json?

You automate next task selection by reading tasks.json, finding the first task where done is false, and recording that decision to next-task.json for your workflow.

What structure does next-task.json use when saving the selected task?

The next-task.json file uses a structured JSON format containing three specific fields: taskId, description, and skipTests to record the triage decision.

Can I get user confirmation before the task selection is written to the JSON file?

Yes, user confirmation is prompted via AskUserQuestion before writing, offering options to proceed with the task, skip it, or stop the triage process entirely.

What happens if tasks.json is missing or has no pending tasks left?

If tasks.json is missing or lacks incomplete entries, the Skill creates a default task to ensure the workflow continues and writes a valid entry to next-task.json.

Does this task triage automation work for large project tracking systems?

This task triage automation is designed for small task-tracking workflows, specifically where tasks are tracked in tasks.json and decisions are saved to a local test-progress directory.
