SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Large development tasks often fail due to poor decomposition, lost context, inconsistent coding standards, and uncommitted work. This Skill enforces a disciplined N-step loop that captures requirements verbatim, writes detailed specs, delegates to subagents, and guarantees atomic commits with CI/CD monitoring. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Verbatim Prompt Capture & Task Extraction: Records the user's request into .ai-memory/plans/pending/ and outputs a confirmed checklist before any work begins. - Spec-First Orchestration: Splits N steps into a spec-writing phase and an execution phase, with subtask files, per-task agent isolation folders, and strict coding guideline enforcement (boolean naming, semantic tests, AppError handling). - Git Discipline & CI/CD Monitoring: Bans per-file commits, test running, and build checking during turns; mandates a single atomic commit, push, and ETA-based pipeline polling via GitMap. - Use Case: A user asks to implement a new standard UI alongside a modern UI. The Skill records the request, writes a detailed spec with DRY constraints, breaks it into subtasks, executes them across isolated subagents, and ships one consolidated commit. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to execute your parent task broken down into N steps using this orchestration skill, providing the full task description in your prompt.

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I execute a large task broken into multiple steps with an AI agent?

Provide the full parent task in your prompt and invoke this skill. It records your request verbatim, extracts a confirmed checklist, writes a detailed spec, splits work into subtask files, and executes them in a continuous N-step loop with a final atomic commit.

How does this skill manage subagents during task execution?

Each subtask gets an isolated folder under .ai-memory/temp-agents/ with a state.md tracking progress. Subagents receive lean, task-focused instructions, and stalled or failing agents are terminated with their changes rolled back.

Can I run tests or builds while this skill executes tasks?

No. The skill imposes a total ban on running tests, build commands, and runner scripts during routine execution turns. Verification is deferred to CI/CD, which is monitored remotely using GitMap Pipeline-AI with ETA-based waiting.

What coding standards does this skill enforce on generated code?

It enforces boolean names starting only with is or has, semantic behavior-driven test names, functions under 15 lines, AppError-based error handling, PascalCase acronyms, and a ban on generic variable names like temp or data.

What are the limitations of this N-step orchestration approach?

It depends heavily on repository conventions like .ai-memory, 02-spec, and 03-ai-scripts folders existing, and defers all build and test verification to CI/CD, so local compile errors may only surface after pushing.
