SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

The workflow addresses the challenge of post-design governance by linking design documents to the corresponding tasks, parsing defined subtasks, and ensuring a safe, previewed merge into the task hierarchy.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Link design documents to in-progress tasks and attach the design path to the task description.
  • Parse subtasks from the design document using multiple formats (numbered lists, bullets, checkboxes).
  • Preview the resulting subtasks and dependencies before creating them.
  • Merge with existing subtasks, skipping duplicates and guiding the user through potential conflicts.
  • Create new subtasks and update the task with a design link, then sync changes.
  • Supports end-to-end post-design workflow for beads tasks and related artifacts.

Quick Start

After finishing design, run the linking-design workflow to attach the latest design to the in-progress task, parse subtasks, preview options, and apply the merge.

FAQPage Schema
How do I link a design document to an in-progress task?▼

To link a design document to an in-progress task, the workflow identifies the active leaf task, attaches the latest design file path to its description, and syncs the changes automatically.

Can I parse subtasks from a design file using different list formats?▼

Yes, you can parse subtasks from design files using multiple formats including numbered lists, bullets, and checkboxes, extracting them for preview before merging.

How do I merge new subtasks with existing ones without creating duplicates?▼

You can merge parsed subtasks with existing ones safely by previewing the results, confirming the action, and skipping duplicates to resolve potential conflicts during the merge.

Is it possible to preview subtasks before merging them into a task hierarchy?▼

Yes, a mandatory preview is presented before creating subtasks, allowing you to verify dependencies and results before applying the merge to the task hierarchy.

What is the best way to manage post-design task governance for subtasks?▼

The best way to manage post-design task governance is to run an end-to-end workflow that links design documents to tasks, parses subtasks, and ensures a safe merge into the hierarchy.
