This Skill automates the execution of the next wave of tasks derived from the current project plan, reducing manual coordination and errors.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Orchestrates wave-based task execution by reading STATE.md and PLAN.md.
  • Processes each task by loading its XML, updating allowed files, executing actions, and performing verification.
  • Provides status updates and failure handling, pausing on errors and incrementing waves when complete.

Quick Start

Invoke this skill to execute the next wave of tasks from the current plan, including reading STATE.md, PLAN.md, and each task's XML, then verify and report results.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate workflow execution for the next wave of planning tasks?

You can automate workflow execution by invoking this skill to read STATE.md and PLAN.md, load per-task XML definitions, execute actions, verify results, and update state files based on pass/fail outcomes.

What is wave-based task execution in state management?

Wave-based task execution is an orchestration process that reads current project state, processes tasks sequentially, pauses on errors, and increments project waves upon successful completion of the current batch.

How do I execute tasks defined in XML from a project plan?

To execute XML-defined tasks, the skill loads each task's XML, updates allowed files, runs the specified actions, performs verification, and reports status while pausing execution if failures occur.

Do I need specific planning files to automate task management?

Yes, you need a project structured with .planning/STATE.md and .planning/PLAN.md files, along with per-task XML definitions, to enable automated orchestration and state tracking.

What happens when a task verification fails during automated execution?

When task verification fails, the automated execution pauses to handle the error, preventing the next wave from starting until the failure is resolved and state tracking reflects the failure outcome.
