SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill standardizes how teams execute work by providing a repeatable six-phase flow, built-in quality gates, and centralized progress tracking.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • 6-phase workflow: Context, Planning, Execution, Quality, Progress, Learning.
  • Quality gates: Atomic commits, tests, lint, and type checks integrated into task cycles.
  • Progress docs: PROGRESS.yaml updates and issue comments to surface status.
  • Learning capture: Learnings documentation for process improvements.

Quick Start

  1. Define your task in the story and trigger the task-execution workflow.
  2. Load the prime project context and any task-type-specific skills, then start a 6-phase cycle for your task.
  3. Monitor progress via PROGRESS.yaml and guided quality checks.

FAQPage Schema
How do I standardize task execution with quality gates and progress tracking?

Standardize task execution by applying a six-phase workflow with built-in quality gates for atomic commits, tests, and lint checks, while tracking status updates through PROGRESS.yaml integration.

What is the six-phase workflow for software engineering task management?

The six-phase task management workflow spans Context, Planning, Execution, Quality, Progress, and Learning, automating disciplined cycles from initial context gathering to final learning documentation.

How do I automate atomic commits and progress updates during sprint planning?

Automate atomic commits and progress updates by triggering a task-execution workflow that enforces quality gates and automatically records status changes in PROGRESS.yaml and issue comments.

Can I use subagents to orchestrate task execution across different project phases?

Yes, you can use subagents to orchestrate task execution, handling everything from context gathering and planning to quality checks and learning documentation across the standardized phases.

What's the best way to capture process improvements after completing a development cycle?

Capture process improvements by entering the Learning phase, which automatically documents task learnings and improvements as the final step of the standardized six-phase execution cycle.
