SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill automates the end-to-end workflow of selecting the next work item from a GitHub Project board and dispatching the full agent chain, reducing manual coordination and delays.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automatic item pull: fetches the next Up Next item and preps the agent chain.
  • End-to-end orchestration: coordinates design → build → validate steps across agents via Depot or local worktrees.
  • Status-driven actions: supports --peek and --resume to preview or auto-advance ready items.
  • Use case: a team wants to continuously push new work from the project board to execution without manual handoffs.

Quick Start

Say "fire next up" to pull and dispatch the next item.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate dispatching the next work item from a GitHub Project board?▼

To automate dispatching work from a GitHub Project board, this skill pulls the next Up Next item and runs a full agent chain for design, build, and validation. You simply trigger it by saying 'fire next up'.

Can I preview the GitHub project queue before dispatching an agent chain?▼

Yes, you can preview the project queue before dispatching by using the --peek flag. This shows the upcoming Up Next items without triggering the design, build, and validate agent chain.

How do I resume and auto-advance in-flight agent chains for project management?▼

You can resume and auto-advance in-flight agent chains by using the --resume flag. This scans all active workflows, advances ready items, and reports status without manual intervention.

Does dispatching GitHub project tasks to agents support local worktrees?▼

Yes, dispatching GitHub project tasks to agents supports local worktrees via the --local flag. By default, the agent chain runs via Depot remote sandboxes for isolated execution.

What is the best way to orchestrate end-to-end design and build steps from GitHub issues?▼

The best way to orchestrate end-to-end steps from GitHub issues is using a dispatch skill that coordinates design, build, and validate agents automatically. This removes manual handoffs between project board selection and execution.
