SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the execution of development tasks and features, managing branch isolation, plan execution, and progress tracking to streamline the software development lifecycle.

Core Features & Use Cases

Feature Execution: Runs complex features based on defined plans, including parallel task dispatch.
Task Execution: Handles ad-hoc tasks, creating backlog entries if necessary.
Branch Management: Creates and manages feature branches for isolated development.
Use Case: When you say "let's build the new user authentication module," this skill will create a new branch, read the implementation plan, and execute the tasks either sequentially or in parallel using subagents.

Quick Start

Use the lo-work skill to execute feature f009.

FAQPage Schema

How do I automate feature implementation and task execution in an agile workflow?▼

Automating feature implementation requires a system for branch isolation, plan discovery, and progress tracking. This skill executes development tasks by managing isolated feature branches and dispatching parallel subagents for task execution.

What do I need to set up before executing development plans and ad-hoc tasks?▼

Executing development plans requires a `.lo/` directory and a `BACKLOG.md` file for context. These files provide the necessary plan discovery and task tracking infrastructure before feature implementation begins.

Can I run parallel task dispatch when building complex features?▼

Parallel task dispatch is supported during feature execution by delegating tasks to superpowers. This allows multiple subagents to handle complex features concurrently after branch isolation is established.

How does branch management work for isolated feature development?▼

Branch management for isolated development creates dedicated feature branches before executing implementation plans. This ensures that development tasks and feature execution occur in an isolated environment, tracked via progress monitoring.

What happens to ad-hoc tasks without predefined implementation plans?▼

Ad-hoc tasks without existing plans are handled by creating backlog entries automatically. This ensures that spontaneous development tasks are captured and tracked before execution is delegated.

When should I not use automated workflow automation for task execution?▼

Automated task execution is not suitable for environments lacking a `.lo/` directory or `BACKLOG.md` file. Without these prerequisites, the skill cannot perform plan discovery or establish the necessary context for branch management.
