SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill solves the problem of losing track of progress during multi-step projects by providing a structured, state-aware framework for executing tasks defined in markdown plans.

Core Features & Use Cases

Progress Tracking: Automatically manages task completion status using markdown checkboxes.
Contextual Execution: Ensures implementation remains scoped to specific tasks, preventing drift.
Use Case: When building a new feature, use this skill to break the work into discrete steps and ensure each one is completed and verified before moving to the next.

Quick Start

Ask the assistant to execute the plan named project-setup.md to begin working through your defined tasks.

Do I need a specific markdown format to use automated task management for workflow execution?▼

Yes, automated task management requires a valid markdown file containing a structured list of tasks with checkboxes to properly coordinate the workflow and track progress.

How does contextual execution prevent scope drift when implementing complex plans?▼

Contextual execution prevents scope drift by ensuring implementation remains strictly scoped to specific tasks within the markdown plan, verifying each step before moving to the next.

Can I use this approach for building a new software feature with discrete implementation steps?▼

Yes, you can use this approach for building a new software feature by breaking the work into discrete steps in a markdown plan to ensure each one is completed and verified sequentially.
