SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? When completing a development task, related work often gets noticed but forgotten — deferred scope, tech debt, missing tests, and logical next steps. This Skill ensures that work is captured as structured, actionable follow-up tasks linked to the current task before it is marked complete. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Categorized Follow-Ups: Classifies proposed work into incomplete_scope, next_steps, tech_debt, or test_gaps for clear prioritization. - Non-Technical Titles: Guides rewriting task titles so non-technical stakeholders understand the impact, not the implementation. - Task Hierarchy Linking: Uses the proposeFollowUpTasks callback to automatically link follow-ups to the current task as parent, and markFollowUpTaskObsolete to retire stale proposals. - Use Case: After building a recipe page with hardcoded data, propose a follow-up like "Save recipes permanently so they aren't lost on refresh" with file paths and done-criteria so another agent can pick it up independently. ## Quick Start Before marking your current task complete, propose up to three follow-up tasks with categories and detailed descriptions using the proposeFollowUpTasks callback.

FAQPage Schema
How do I propose follow-up tasks after completing a coding task?

Call proposeFollowUpTasks once before marking your task complete, passing up to three tasks each with a title, description, and category. The callback automatically links them to your current task as the parent for correct hierarchy.

What categories should follow-up tasks use?

Use one of four categories: incomplete_scope for deferred parts of the original request, next_steps for features users would want next, tech_debt for code quality issues and shortcuts, and test_gaps for missing tests outside the current deliverable.

When should I not propose follow-up tasks?

Skip proposing when downstream tasks already exist on your current task, when items are trivial or within your current scope, or when they are agent housekeeping like documentation updates. Only genuine, actionable work should be proposed.

How do I remove a follow-up task that is no longer relevant?

Call markFollowUpTaskObsolete with the taskRef returned by your original proposeFollowUpTasks call. Review previously proposed follow-ups whenever you mark a task complete again after doing additional work.

Why must follow-up task titles be written for non-technical users?

Titles should lead with user impact rather than implementation so stakeholders understand why the work matters. For example, rewrite "Add server-side validation" as "Prevent broken recipes from being saved."
