SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Task intake for implementation and bug-fix assignments. Activates when the user says "/intake", "here's your task", "implement this", "fix this bug", "there's a bug", or provides a task reference (step number, PR, doc path) with instruction to understand before coding. The agent reads all referenced documents and explores the codebase, then demonstrates understanding in a structured playback before auto-transitioning to plan mode. For bug fixes, the playback includes a proposed failing test that proves the broken behavior. Prevents guessing, spec rewriting, and premature implementation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Activates on explicit task intake commands to capture intent and context.
  • Reads referenced documents and explores the codebase to form a grounded understanding.
  • Demonstrates understanding via structured playback and transitions to plan mode, with optional failing test for bugs.
  • Prevents guessing, spec rewriting, and premature implementation.

Quick Start

Provide a task reference or explicit task description to initiate the intake process.

Frequently Asked Questions about intake

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I ensure an agent understands a bug report or feature request before coding?

Task intake ensures an agent understands a bug report or feature request before coding by reading referenced documents, exploring the codebase, and demonstrating comprehension via structured playback before transitioning to plan mode.

What is the best way to align on a task reference before implementation planning?

The best way to align on a task reference before implementation planning is to initiate an intake process that reads all referenced documents, explores the codebase, and demonstrates understanding via playback to prevent guessing and spec rewriting.

How do I start the task intake process for a bug fix or feature implementation?

You start the task intake process by providing a task reference like a PR, doc path, or explicit command, which triggers the agent to read references, explore the codebase, and demonstrate understanding before planning.

Can I use intake for both feature requests and PR references?

Yes, you can use intake for both feature requests and PR references, as it activates on explicit task intake commands to capture intent, explore the codebase, and demonstrate understanding via playback before planning.

Does the intake process generate a failing test when fixing a bug?

Yes, the intake process generates a proposed failing test for bug fixes during the playback phase to prove the broken behavior before auto-transitioning to plan mode for the actual implementation.

Why does an agent rewrite specs or guess during premature implementation?

An agent guesses or rewrites specs during premature implementation because it lacks grounded context, which task intake prevents by enforcing codebase exploration and structured playback before any planning begins.
