What problem does it solve?
This Skill updates the active development plan without forcing you to manually edit plan files, recalculate task progression, or risk breaking workflow state. It helps teams reliably mark work as done, blocked, skipped, or resumed while keeping current tasks and project flow consistent.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Task status updates: Change a plan task to pending, in_progress, done, blocked, or skipped with validation against the active plan.
- Artifact and note attachment: Record produced files and implementation notes directly on the task update for traceability.
- Automatic next-step progression: Recomputes current_tasks and plan completion state through the provided update script instead of manual reasoning.
- Epic-aware advancement: When a plan finishes inside a larger epic, supports advancing the child change or deferring progression safely.
- Use case: After finishing an implementation task, use this Skill to mark the task done, attach the changed files, and immediately surface the next executable task and recommended follow-up skill.
